THE KAISER'S VISIT TO CORFU.
Our Sofia correspondent writes ::

Our Sofia correspondent writes -
The announcement that the Emperor Will
liam has no intention of making q tour IN
Southern Albania on the occasion of his mp
preaching visit to Corfu will cause no little
disappointment in Constantinople. The IN
cidents which marked his Mniesty's last pro-
gress through Turkish territory in Novem-
Der, 1898, have not been forgotten, least Of
all his memorable speech at Damascus, in
which he vowed eternal friendship for the
Khalif of Islam and "the 800 millions of
Mahomedans who owned his supremacy"
In the present somewhat critical situation in
the Balkans any similar pronouncement de-
liyered on Turkish soil might be productive
Of dangerous excitement. For some time
past the hope had been entertained in
Turkish official quarters that the Emperor
would visit Yanina, and efforts were made
to furnish up that picturesque city for his
reception. The streets were cleaned and
embelished, the houses were painted, and
much-needed new uniforms were served
out to the soldiers and gendarmes.
Last week a general was despatched
from Salonika to YAKIMA to superintend
these arrangements and to accompany thu
Emperor on projected shooting excursions.
The progress of italian "pacitic penetra-
tion" in Southern Albania is indicated by
the recent issue from the italian Post Office
at Yanina of stamps bearing the superscrip-
ton albania" These stamps were printed
many years ago but seem to have been
withheld from circulation.-IEnaes, Goth

FRUIT CULTURE IN PORTO RICO.

The fruit industry Of Puerto Rico, which,
IN It's present stage, is an important and
promising one, and which will undoubtedly
undergo considerable development with the
provision of better facilities of transport, etc.
formed the subject of a paper read at the
first annual meeting of the Cuban Horticul-
ture Society, held in May of last year.
Fruit lands IN Porto Rico, it is stated, are
yearly increasing in value. Land which, a
few years ago, could be bought at SO and
$50 per acre, now costs $50 andS13O. Pine
apples do so we'll that soils suitable for this
crop command very high prices. Much of
the land best suited for citrus fruit growth,
however, has not yet been planted, as the
districts in which it exists have not yet been
opened up by roads.
The citrus fruit districts of Porto Rico are
almost entirely confined to the north side
of the island, and comprise an area of 1000
or 5000 acres. About 70 per cent. of this
is planted with oranges, 25 per cent. with
grapefruit. and 5 per cent. with lemons.
The oranges grown include u considerable
number of Flotidian varieties. The early
and the late kinds are expected to give
more profitable results than varieties ripen.
ing in midseason. The Washington navel
orange is cultivated, and appears to do
much better in Porto Rico than in Florida.
Some of the native varieties of oranges,
however, are reported to do better than any
imported kinds.

WEST INDIAN COTTON.

Messrs. Wolstenholme & Holland, of Liver
pool, write as follows, under date March z
with reference to the sale of West Indian
Sea Island cotton :-Since our last report
about $50 bales West Indian Sea Island
cotton have been sold, comprised of about
$50 Barbados. chiefly at l74d with a few at
18d. and 1870, 80 Montserrat, at It'd. to
1871, 40 Superior Nevis at 18d., 25 St.
Kits 171to 18d, with a few odd bags at 10.
The tendency of the market is downward,
quotations being reduced at Id per H., and
buyers are very par ticular in selecting the
lots which they care to purchase, as they are
only buying for immediate requirements,
and in the present state of trade will not
add to their stock.-Ijd.

Great numbers of orange trees grow wild
in the mountainous districts. The fruit IS
stated to be of excellent quality, and would
ship well if properly handled. 1t grows
however, too far from the railway OF from
possible roads to be a source OF profit to any
of the inhabitants. It is estimated that
1000 boxes of oranges are annually losr
in Porto Rico on this account.
Artificial manures are used on a falrly
considerable scale in the cultivation of both
oranges and pine-apples. = 1gr1c"|t1''@|

SANTA CL ARA,THE SUGAR PROVINCE.

The city of Cienfuegos, 1876 miles distant
from Havana, and located on the south coast,
is reached by way of the United Railways in
connection with the Cuban Central Railways,
which serve the entire province of anita CIa-
IA, the big su gar district of the island.
Clenfuegos was founded III 1919 by Louis
Clouet, a French planter from Louisiana,
who named the town for General Jose Glen
fuegos, governor Of Cuba. The city was de-,
stroyed by a hurricane and rebuilt in 1925
which accounts for it's very modern appear
ance and excellent, wide streets. It's hotel
service is the best in Cuba, though CANA
guey is inclined to dispute the point.
The city has a handsome plaza, a double
square decorated with laurels and palms, and
is proud of two sculptured ions presented to
the town by Queen Isabel II. Of Spain. The
Cathedral faces the plaza, as does the Terry
Theater, built by the heirs of the millionaire
sugar planter for whom it is named.
But the charm of Cienfueeos lies in its
great bay, eleven miles long and six miles
wide in places, Las Casas described it as fit
for a thousand ships the truth is, the navies
of the world might find safe anchorage there.
The entrance from the sea is by way Of a very
narrow entrance, guarded by the quaint grey
Castle Of Our Lady of the Angels, which
looks, inside and out, like a steel engraving
made to illustrate some romance Of the Mid
die Ages. The view from the castle is mag
%niicent. On the one hcnd is the open sea,
from which one almost expects to see a pl-
rate ship appear on the other is the clear
and lucid bay, dotted Will islets and fringed
with promontories, where are located the
bright-tinted chalets Of the rich and far dis
tant on the horizon are the blue and green
hills Of the San Juan ia" &c.
Cienfuegos is q great shipping port, espe-
clally fer sugar., for all the product Of the
many mills outb of Cruces leaves for market
via this port. The Cuban Central Railways
have recently erected a steel and concrete
pier there, which has made shipping from
CienfuegOs cheap, whereas it was formerly
very expensive, owing to lighterage and 9TH
er expenses incurred in repeated handling of
thu freight. Sugar made north of Cruces
is transported by the Cuban Central freight
trains to Isabella de Sagua a north coast
point, from whore it is taken to the United
States for consumption.
Santa Clara is the great sugar province,
an honor it shares with Matanzas, which
would claim first place. Camaguey, on the
east, is the big cattle country, and Santa
Clara is not without ranges of her own. Cat
tie are imported via Isabella, and the Cuban
Central runs special cattle trains for the &C
cOmodation Of cattle-men. Some American
development companies are exploiting the
possibilities i'll fruit along the railway lines,
especially in the vicinity of San Marcos. In
the Manicarague valley excellent tobacco Is
grown, and Remedies and Camujuani are fA-
NOUS packing points.-HaUan0 Telegraph.

The body Of Emanuel Swedenbore, after
resting in the vault at the Swedish Church,
Prince's-square, st. George-in-the-East, for
1876 years, is shortly to be removed to Swe-
den and reinterred there next that Of the
eminent chemist Berzelius. Application was
made a few years ago for the removal, but
it was refused by the British Government.
Now that the application has come from the
Swedish Government itself, the request has
been agreed to. Professor Gustaf R~etzius,
who is bearing the entire cost of publishing
the earlier volumes of ~Swedenborg's post

To The Herald:
San Benito, Texas, Nov. 13.-Mr.
Mahl, a well known well-bOrer of Nc
Allen, within the last week struck
good water an the San Benito town
site at one hudred and eighty feet
beneath the surface. The water is
of very good quality and it only
goes to how that there is good sur
face water all over this country. a
well-borer previously tried for water
on the townsite but evidently bored
through it. Mr.. Mail is a very eX-
perienced man in this line, and it is
said that if water is there he will get
it. The well flowed of it's own accord
from the top for several hours after
it was struck

into San Benito lately at quite live
ly rate. Some of these are new
hOmeseekers and others are folks
that have already bought land and
will begin to clear land for either
winter or spring crops.
From what San Benito has done
the past year much may be expected
of the future. There are now grow
ing beautifully at the San BenitO
Nursery as fine grapes as one ever
saw, to say nothing of other fruits
and all kinds of vegetables. The al
falfa crop, which has aready pro-
duced several cuttings the past year
is looking splendidly.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. w. Haywood have
come from Jennings, La, to spend
