been as much sugar cane harvested as
in the past month. The Governor de-
plored the fact. however. that there is
not SO much cane being planted as had
been expected. This Is taken as an
indication that the unsettled conditions
in Cuba are having serious effect up

Washington that certain European in
terests have organized to keep in cir
culation stories that the situation in
Cuba is such that the stability Of BUSH

in trade with the Island. and that the
crops for the next year should be great
err than ever before.
