cuba has been started by disappoIntc
office seekers. which is giving the es
tablIshed government much concern
Fighting has occurred In Havana an
Matanzas provinces. with uprisings Il
Santa Clara and Santiago provinces
and the revolt is spreading rapidly
according TO latest reports. Attempt
are being made to nip 1t In the bu'
by arresting the leaders and largel!
increasing the force OF rural guards
Some NJ the leaders are very infiuen
tial men. who were successful in form
err revolutions which makes the gov
ernment's task difficult one.
In case the officials are unable t.
crush the insurrection, the American
government has the right to intervene
for the maintenance OF a government
adequate for the protection of life
property and individual liberty"
The expectation is that the revolt
will be short lived, but such guerrilla
warfare is attractive to cane sugar
plantation laborers and. unless this
movement IS promptly checked. the
harvesting OF the new crop may he
delayed. Meanwhile, the cultivation
OF cane is neglected. which If contin-
ued, will cause reduction In the yield

Raws.-The upward movement In
prices, which was checked for a fort
night, was resumed early in the week.
The advances were in small fractions,
the total for the week being Lice. es-
the quotation of 3.94c. for
SO deg. test on the spot and 9-16c. C.
and (. for Cubas 90 deg. test, equal
to 1850. landed for SO deg. test, but
the lowest price now named by sellers
is 4c. At the close 4c. was paid for
distant Porto Rico centrifugals.
Even at the higher prices only very
moderate quantities were Obtainable,
and holders are now still more reluc-
tant to part with their sugars.
Stocks in Cuba are reduced to only
30. 900 tons, of which about one-half
has already been sold, while Porto
Rico has no more than 5000 tons to
dispose of. and there Is scarcely any
old crop sugar In the West Indies.
JdNdb are tbHliDE sioWly
IN n small way compared with former
seasons. 1t will be seen that the avail
bile supply is barely sufficient to meet
he demand from refiners for cane SUI
CARS until December. 1t was hoped
hat the new Cuba crop might make
IN early start, and part of II come TO
market before January, but the news
lust received OF revolution in Cuba
,auses the fear of delay In the har-
'esting of that crop, in which event
he value of cane sugars now In stock
would be greatly enhanced. The new
crop viii help out to some
.xtent and the distribution OF the
arge domestic beet crop will tend to
essen the requirements of refiners for
MEETINGS in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS but
{ is evident that further supplies
must be brought from Europe.
