He, 1t might be said. has recently been

Gomez made money raising cattle,
fought in all the wars and skirmishes
that came along, cultivated popularity
with the rank and file, and finally he
reached the highest Office in the coun-
try by sheer force Of will and indomi-
table perseverance.
He was one OF the commission sent
to Washington to devise means for
disbanding the revolutionary army aft
er the Spanish war. He became gov
ernor OF the Santa Clara province,
where he was born, as a Conservative,
but he threw In his lot with the Lib
erals as soon as the party was formed,
and took to the bush" with the revo-
lutionists. He was captured, impris-
oned and finally released. Under Gov
ernor Magoon he was secretary of a
| commission to revise the laws of the
island. This year he Is again backed
by the Liberal party In his fight for
reelection.
The friends Of Gomez say he is the
strong man who can deal with situa-
ton that requires prompt action. They

The plantations which during the pres

major share OF the devastation wrought
by the insurgents firebrands and guns
are the chief wealth Of Cuba. Its re.
sources are as yet only partially de-
veloped. One-tifteenth of the island is
cultivated, leaving large area which
no doubt will be utilized and made to

- UBA, the Pearl of the Antilles"
has again been called upon to
fight battle for freedom. For
years the island rebelled against
the oppressive rule of Spain, from
whose clutch 1t escaped with the As
sistance Of the United States.
With the nrst taste Of freedom the
try direct their affairs, and then Cuba
became republic. with a government
Of Its own. Later there developed a
state Of unrest, when the United States
stepped in, settled disputes and again
handed over the government to the
Cuban people. Their new president
chosen, things again began to assume
serious aspects from time to time.
Trouble with foreign powers arose,
and many Cubans despaired of ever
seeing their island adjust itself to tran
quill conditions. Twice within the last
two years the United States felt COM
PEELED to intervene. but upon assur-
ances that all possible efforts were be-
ing made to remedy things, kept its
hands of.
Two years ago 4 negro leader Of the
name Of Evaristo Estenoz organised
an insurrection based on objection to
the policy Of President Jose Miguel
Gomez In giving political positions too
frequently to suit them to "nonpatri-
otic citizens" The Cuban veteran Of
the revolution and the war with Spain.
It was claimed, were slighted thereby.
Cuba wsathsred that and less serious
situations. but growing undercurrent
Of dissatisfaction spread among the
negro population. which represents
about ons-half the total Of human be-
ings on the Island Evaristo Estenox,
now become q general, after making
an exhaustive study Of conditions and
affairs among the negroes in the United
States. returned to Cuba and formed
the Independent Colored party, Of
which, since 1t inception, he has been
the leading spirit. The colored people
all over the island have supported him
with fervor. Within a year after Or
ganixation 10000 Cuban negroes had
become members Of the party and a
weekly newspaper. edited by Estenoz,
attained large circulation.
INDEPENDENTS JAILED
The activities Of the Independent
Colored party attracted the attention
ef the government to the extent that
law was passed forbidding the forma-
ton Of political parties along racial
Hines. Senator Morua Delgado Of the
Liberal party, himself a negro. was
responsible for the measure now known
a. the Morua law. He later was made
secretary Of war in the Gomez cabinet.
The effect on the negro population Of
the passing Of the new law referred to
can be imagined. On the eve Of cleo
ton many Of the heads of the Inde-
pendent Colored party were thrown
into prison on charges Of conspiracy.
Claiming that they had been de-
prfvsd Of their rights as citizens and ac-
cusing the white population Of treach-
cry, the negroes turned their griev-
ances into acts that brought serious re-
suits. They contended that while fight
ing for the liberty Of Cuba their white
compatriots were satisfied to rank
them a. their equals, but that since
freedom was obtained the negroes
were neglected and that by reason of
their treatment they were Obliged to
seek recognition in their own way.
The outcome was the Inauguration of

tanning over fifty different varieties Of
hard woods. This shows. with what Sc
curity the insurgents can carry on
their operations against the sugar
planters, using the forests as hiding
places from which their attacks are
made.
A sugar cane field when green pre-
sents rather pretty sight, but when
ripe is almost as unattractive as the
cane jungles one so frequently comes
across In the Genoese Riviera. There
are two sorts OF cane in Cuba, the crl-
olaf or native cane. which was first
imported from the Canaries by Colum-
bus on his second voyage, and the
otahite, the superior kind, which is
very thick and grows to a height Of
from six to sixteen feet. The sugar
harvest commences late in January
and ends in May, the planting being
done during the breaks in the rainy
season, which lasts from June to the
end Of November. The cane is not
grown from seed. las is generally sup
posed, but from slips taken from the
top Of the plant. the lower leaves Of
which are stripped off. When stuck in
the ground at regular intervals to q
depth Of few inches the slips soon
take root and in about six months
grow to maturity and occasionally at
tain to the height of twenty feet.
HARVESTING SUGAR CANE
Men cut the cane with small hatchets
or the famous machete, the Cuban
insurgents favorite weapon-and usu-
| ally women gather it together and tie
into bundles, while other negroes peel
off the leaves. which are good for
fodder. and hoist the cane on high
wheeled carts, each drawn by four
oxen with enormously long horns. The
carts take the cane to the mills, where
the sap is pressed out by huge wheels
worked by steam or electricity. While
/ sugar making is going on the engine
never ceases its cvolutons night or
| day. and at this season the negroes
have been known to work twenty
| hours at stretch.
