Champion Robert ltzsimmons appeared at the Grand last ght, It being' his first visit here since hediscovered the solar plexus blow that ‘ost killed Corbett.” The Australian wa£reeted with whistling and cheers when h*prang lightly from the wings, and the bi crowd took delight in watching his bag-inching exercise. Fitzsimmons is lithe (a- panther, and his jdexterity in making e punching bag play a tattoo on the boas from which it is suspended is an entelnment in itself. There is an agility and .curacy about his movements that challepes the admiration even of those who had teir money on the grandstand player in t big fight.

Park—“ Faust.” T?re is magic in the name of ‘’Faust” so ,r as Indianapolis is concerned. Season afr season it has filled the Grand, the pub11,never seething to tire of the play, em--1 fished by the numerous electric features, ils season Mr. Morrison has placed Faust ' in the popular-priced houses, sendlg out a very good company to interpret .he play which has made so much money for him in past years. It opened at the Park yesterday, filling the house completely st both afternoon and evening performances. The seenery is as elaborate and effective as ever, and electricity' plays the st me prominent part In the production. Os course the great scene of the play is the Brocken, where Mephisto points out to Faust the awful fat ? of erring mortals, the shower of fire being one of the most unique stage effects ever witnessed. Other interesting scenes are Faust's laboratory, where tho devil m tkes his first appearance in response to toe doctor’s invitation; Marguerite’s garden, the square ot the fountain where the duel takes place., and the transformation at the close showing Marguerite's uscension. Krroll Dunbar Is a good Mephisto. He follows very closely Mr. Morrison’s conception of the part in dress and action, and gives an exe< ileni performance. Miss Aileen Bertelle is pronounced by' many as making as good a Marguerite as the cast of “Faust” ever had. She is an attractive little actress and sue:essf, ib handles si very difficult role. Dame Martha is well played by’ Mrs Unease, xUin l Faust, by Frank McDonald, is well up jo the stands*rd set uy his predecessors in the part. The cast, all of it. above the average and the production one which will not fail to attract Its usual largo following. "Faust” will remain the entire week at the Park, with daily matinees. The audiences yesterday were very enthusiastic. Cjuartet music and a running orchestral accompaniment are pleasing features of the performance. Next week the Park will have the Wilbur Opera Comc. £ l MINISTERS /* And brain workers I <•> 4> fin general find coffee hard to digest. ! POSTUM j ♦ ♦ Is used by a great army of brain workers.

pany and its beautiful living pictures, well known here as about the best ever seen on the road. Empire—"Blk Sensation.” Flynn & Sheridan’s combined Negro and Caucasian double show, which opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon, is of the kind called “spicy.” That is to say, a good deal of the work would require pretty high seasoning to make it palatable to one with a sense of decency. It is due to the management to say' that the two ‘’comedians,” who, determined to get a laugh or die In the attempt, became so conspicuous at the afternoon matinee during the “couchee’ dance by actions that may not be described and remarks that no mailable paper may quote, were shut off in the evening performance, to their evident sorrow. Some of the negro comedians were guilty of a few stale and indecent jokes that ought to be dispensed with. The olio includes some clever acts and everything is carried off with spirit. The white halt of the company has Mamie Dillon and Flossie Huglies in a "spicy ’ singing and dialogue act; Marion and Pearl, who present a bunch ot new puns and do good turn at acrobatics, and Dina and Vani, in acrobatic specialties. Miss, Mrs. or Mile. Vani turns somersaults, tlipllaps and ail that sort of thing in skirts that reach to the fioor, without disarranging a hern, 'lhe colored contingent comprises May Boiiee, Sherman Coates and the Golden Gate (Juartet, which last won considerable applause. Moreno’s Turkish dancers close the performance in the second burlesque. The show remains all week. It will prooably be toned down. In addition to the regular bill to-night Will Goodull and lady, who claim to be the champion cake-waik-ers, will contest with Mose P. Taylor and lady for a prize. “Cumberland ’(JI,” a Xew War Piny. NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The production of “Cumberland ’61,” anew romantic drama by Franklin Fyles, was made by Augustus Pitou at the Fourteenth-street Theater tonight. The theme of the play Is tho vendetta as it still exists in the mountains of the Cumberland region, giving rise to frequent tragedies in real life. The time of the action is the first year of tho rebellion, but the war is only a background for romantic fiction based on fact. The sentimental story is the old one of love between the son and tho daughter of families separated by a deadly feud, which has in the past broken out frequently with loss of life, and which reappears in the episodes that constitute tho movement of the piece. The first act is at West Point in the summer of 1861, when the cadets of the graduating class were making their choice of service between the Union and Confederate armies. The ensuing three acts are in the Cumberland mountains three months later, their events being all within twelve hours. The border line between Kentucky’ and Tennessee was then contested ground, and the inhabitants were divided against one another in their allegiance to the North and South. This political antagonism has been availed of by the author for the purpose of his vendetta romance. One of the scenes requires a spectacular representation. It is a view of a picturesquely bridged gorge in the mountains with new and striking effects calculated to make the scene impressive in a thrilling degree. In outlay of money the production excels anything that Manager Pitou has ever done. In the cast are Charles Craig, Edgar D. Davenport, Dionel Barry'more, John E. Kellerd, S. K. Chester, Richard Malchein, Alvin Drehle, Richard Webster, Florence Rockwell, Amelia Summerville, Violet Black and Milly Sackett. Five Curtain Culls for Marlowe. CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—Julia Marlowe appeared here in "For Bonnie Prince Charlie,” at the Columbia to-night. The news of the success of the play which she produced early last season had preceded It, and this fact, with the personal popularity of Miss Marlowe, made the audience notable in point of numbers and fashionable in character. The performance ar used much applause. Miss Marlowe's firs* Appearance started the enthusiasm, and v hen the curtain fell on the third act she had to step out five times and bow her acknowledgements. This third act Is of unusual dramatic effect. The production Is a complete one, showing much careful attention to the accessories of costumes, scenery, incidental music and tableaux. Julia Marlowe and Robert Taber, her husband, have separated professionally. While in Milwaukee last week Mrs. Taber was interviewed, and the Milwaukee Sentinel says: "Julia Marlowe resents very much any inference that the dramatic divorce of herself and Mr. Taber is anything more than a professional makeshift. She says it happens often enough that an actor and his wife must separate for domestic reasons, but in this case it Is not so. She protests that if Mr. Taber wants to star as he has wanted for several years, there is no reason why he should not, because he happens to be married to a wife who herself is a star. Therefore, the dramatic separation. In the spring she will join him in England, where he is playing now with Henry Irving, not starring yet. and whether or not he returns to her support in her own company, they will be together.”

Actor John W. Hague Dead. BOSTON, Oct. 18.—John W. Hague, a well-know’n actor, died to-day, aged fiftyeight. He had supported many famous stars, including Edwin Booth. Mary Anderson, John McCullough and Charlotte Cushman. Notes of the Stage. Williara Winter will arrange “Timon of Athens” for Richard Mansfield. Lottie Collins arrived at New York Saturday, from Southampton, on the steamer Paris. "A Husband by Deputy,” which ran one entire year at Toole’s Theater, in London, was given its first American production last night. This city is finally to have an opportunity to see the gifted Marie Dressier. She will appear in "Courted Into Court,” a farcecomedy by J. J. McNally. When E. H. Sothern goes on his tour he will add "Lord Chumley" to his repertory. While in New York the Thursday matinees at the Lyceum will be devoted to "The Lady of Lyons,” with Mr. Sothern and Miss Harned in the two leading parts. The story of "Prince Rudolph.” Otis Skinner's new play, will be familiar to all readers of Robert Louis Stevenson’s works, for the play is a free adaptation, more properly speaking, a perversion, of "Prince Otto.” one of the earlier stories from the pen of this favorite author. Anthony Hope, the author of “The Prisoner of Zenda” and “Phroso,” was a passenger on the Paris, which arrived last Saturday. Mr. Hope, or. more properly, Mr. Hawkins is bringing with him the manuscript of anew romantic play, which will probably be presented by the Lyceum Company later in the season. During his stay in this country Mr. Hope will give a number of readings from his works. The Czar has conferred a distinguished honor upon tho two De Reszkes. The great opera singers, Jean, the incomparable tenor, and Edouard, the equally great basso, have been made nobles of Russia. Both Jean and Edouard are extremely rich. They have great estates and castles in Poland, their native country. Jean owns one estate which requires a week's time for a hunting party to pass through the wooded portion of the preserves alone. Both opera singers are married. Jean’s marriage is only a few months old. Edouard has three children. The "vanishing” ballet in the big Klaw & Erlanger extravaganza, “One Round of Pleasure,” Is one of the most uncanny, as well as one of the most startling, apparitions imaginable. In a flash the brilliant stage is thrown into the blackest of darkness. and from the depths of the inky mist there appear a number of skeletons.'dancing a peculiar step, that suggests the uncanny foolery of u lot of ghosts in a graveyard at midnight. They appear in response to the command of Mr. Pat O’Toole, the Shaksperian grave-digger, as personated by Waiter Jones, and give their ideas of what the ghosts in "Macbeth" should have been, if th ■ immortal bard had written his books according to the Celtic notion. Henry E. Dixey, the well-known comedian, has concluded to become a magician and abandon both the legitimate and the vaudeville stage. The scheme to make Dixey a “monarch of mystery" was first broached by the late Professor Herrmann, who taught him many of his tricks and who repeatedly made him handsome offers to join him on his journeys. These offers were refused by Dixey because something more advantageous always offered Itself to him Edward L. Bloom, who for years managed the tours of Herrmann, and lately directed

the affairs of Magician Bancroft, who died in Charleston two weeks ago, cornered him, and a contract was signed by which the nimble "Adonis” will shortly make a tour of the United States. No actor has ever suffered more at the hands of the uncharitable story teller than Mr. Richard Mansfield. All sorts of tales of his stern, brusque manner have been circulated. and but little has ever been said on the other side of the question. “They think that I am lying awake nights trying my best to hate them.” said Mr. Mansfield to a friend a short time ago, "whereas I am really trying to think up new ideas for my book of children’s stories.” The stories of which Mr. Mansfield spoke are to be published inside of a week or two by a wellknown Boston firm, in a volume entitled, "Blown Away.” The book is made up of prose and poetry, and is Illustrated with a large number of pen and ink drawings by Mr. Mansfield himself. Mr. Mansfields fondness for children, both on and off the stage, is well known, and his book is said to be filled with the same quaint, t .ider drolleries that make Eugene Field’s children’s stories charming. It may i.ot be generally knmvn, but for some time preceding his going on the stage Mr. Mansfield studied art. and at one time thought seriously of taking it up as a profession. The illustrations in “Blown Away” are said to be one of its most attractive features. Charles Frohman’s determination to send his companies to London in the future instead of to Ban Francisco is likely to arouse a storm of protest in the West. “I can get a run of three months in the British capital,” says Mr. Frohman, "instead of one ot three weeks in the Gate City. 'Frisco can’t give the returns a big New York company is entitled to. It has good little cheap companies playing pieces produced first in New Yorlt some eight or ten years ago, and these ’Frisco stock companies, of course, act these plays better—at least to the ’Frisco mind—than did Daly s, the Lyceum and the Empire companies and the ’Frisco critics could tell you, in reviewing the productions by their local organizations just what Daly’s, the s and the Empire’s players lacked. Therefore, whv fatigue the Eastern leading men and women and take the curl out of our ingenues’ hair by sending them westward to endeavor to rival those ’Frisco stock companies? Just ponder on It! , F **as four stock companies—the Columbia, the Orpheum. the Alcazar and Morosco s-more even, than we have. I believe that in the Columbia a few seats are sold for sl, but the prices generally at all these places' much cheaper than that. I am t willing to lease on royalty for that city,, benefit plays that my actors have presentrd as successes; but henceforth very Itt ‘Westward ho!’ for me, thank >ou. Dondon is quite good enough, and I am quit® sure the actors will enjoy the trips oni the Atlantic fully as w’ell as over the l. nion Pacific Railroad.”

ELEOREE WON EASILY CAPTURED THE U:ll TROT AT 1,0 lISVILUE IN STRAIGHT HEATS. * . 2:07 Pace Tulcen toy Heir-at-Law In Fast Time, and the 2:18 Trot toy Cnrta After Losing; u Heat. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. The Louisville Driving and Fair Association had a most auspicious opening this afternoon in its third annual fall meet. Characterized by almost perfect weather, and an attractive card, including the best horses in their respective classes, to-day’s meeting was one of the best ever given by the association. With a fast track, sunshine and a bracing atmosphere, the ten days’ meet was most successfully begun. The quality of the entries was above the average, while the scratches were few, and many of the finishes of the sensational kind. It is estimated that over eight thousand people passed through the gates. The opening event w r as the 2:11 class trotting, in which there were three scratches, leaving six to be sent away. Elloree was an odds-on favorite, and her performance justified the confidence that the betting public had placed in her. She was never in trouble at any part of the journey in any of the heats. In each she assumed command after the word was given and each time maintained it to the end at an even, steadystride. The* second race, 2:07 pacing, w r as almost a repetition of the first, although Heir-at-law, another odds-on favorite, had a little trouble, when Lottie Lorraine showed the first heat until within a few feet of the w’ire, when the former shoved his nose to the front and took the heat. The remaining two were won handily. There were eleven starters in the 2:18 trotting event, w’hich closed the day’s sport, Ed Geers captured the first heat, with The Abbott, and, after finishing second in the second and third heats, was distanced in the fourth. Curta, the winner, finished fourth in the first, but won the next three in a fighting finish. Summaries: 2:11 Trot; purse $1,000: Elloree, by Axtell, ch. m. (Saunders). 11l Fred 8., br. g.

SUGAR ESTATES IN CUBA THEIR DESTRUCTION SURE TO RESULT UNLESS THE WAR SOON ENDS. Many Owned by Americana, Who Are Persecuted by Both Sided—American Money U*ed Against Them. -- - ♦ George Bronson Rea, in Harper's Weekly. During the last two years of the insurreetibn in Cuba immense damage has been inflicted on the valuable sugar lands and factories to which the island owes so much of her wealth and prosperity. Since the commencement of the outbreak report after report has reached us concerning the destruction of these valuable possessions by the armed forces in the field. By far the larger part of the destruction has been caused by the insurgents, though the Spanish regulars and guerrillas have also applied the torch rather freely on property of minor value. The underlying motives for this policy of annihilation are many and conflicting, but are no doubt justified by the accepted rules of warfare, in which all means to cripple the enemy and destroy his chances of raising revenue are considered as perfectly legitimate. The first nine months of the war were not marked by any great excesses in this line. The reasons are clear. In the east, where the upnsing broke out. the majority of the inhabitants living in the country were Cubans who favored the cause, and. consequently, their property was respected. Their countrymen in the west, on the contrary, were lukewarm in their efforts to aid the cause, and made no serious attempt to second the movement. Their only desire was to be let quietly alone and to be permitted to harvest their crops, and perhaps make a profit on the product that would insure them against want in the hard times sure to follow. The rebel leaders decided that some extremely harsh measures must be employed to shake their brethren from their apathy. They also argued that, while Spain could continue to gather in the taxes on the principal industries of tobacco and sugar, she would never consent to abandon the island. They fondly believed that once these proßpects were destroyed it would be a question of only a few months when the Spaniards would give up the struggle and evacuate the island. Another strong motive was to force the intervention of foreign governments by destroying the property of their citizens. French. German, English and American capital is iargely represented in the wealth of the island, and it was expected that these governments, on the presentation of the claims for damages, would demand immediate indemnization from Spain. As the Spanish treasury was known to be in a depleted condition, and that it would be impossible to meet these demands, they felt it would surely result in some controversy or conflict which would redound to their benefit. During the first “invasion” this policy was accordingly put into operation, and the march of the insurgents was marked, like that of the Israelites of old, “by a column of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night,” though in this case the signs were reversed, and followed, instead of leading, the rapidly moving bands. Thousands of acres of the finest of sugar cane waiting to be harvested, and scores of factories where the raw juice is transformed into crude sugar, were devastated and destroyed. BURNING THE CANE. Under ordinary circumstances the burning of a canefield does not materially injure the value of the cane, for if ctit promptly and sent to the mill there Is no perceptible loss. But If left standing for more than eight days the juice begins to ferment and turns sour, destroying the saccharine matter.

In times of peace many farmers first bum a troublesome field to facilitate the work of cutting, but then they see that it goes dim tly to the mill. But this was not the case with the cane burned by the rebels; for, after having fired the fields, strict orders were issued against cutting it, and any one caught disobeying the decree was executed. Mile after mile of the richest fields were thus completely ruined. Filled with consternation at the rapid spread of the movement, and alarmed at the devastating policy so persistently pursued by the rebel leaders, the planters called a meeting in Havana to devise a way financially to aid the sufferers. Business was at a standstill, traffic was temporarily blocked on the railroads, and a feeling of Insecurity pervaded the community from the awful effects of the Insurgent raid. The success of their movement had far surpassed the wildest dreams of the insurgent chiefs; and Gomez, probably mistaking the alarm and excitement, with the incidental paralyzatlon of business, as a direct acknowledgment of his supremacy graciously ordered that the destruction of cane should cease. ?2 der ‘ ,sisued on the 12th of January, 18%, at the sugar factory Ml Rosa (province 2* Httv-t-na), stated that as enough cane had been destroyed practically to end all further hopes of grinding, the burning of eancfields was no longer necessary. He t a crime amenable to the severest military laws, and then went on to say that if any jdanter should disregard this order his machinery and boiling house would be destroyed by dynamite. Gomez seemed to forget that men with enormous capitals at stake would go *o the L a ,£n e ?£ , to save interests. So re h el ohief thought himself master of the situation, and was marching around the country issuing circulars, proclamations, and decrees, which only tended to awe the simple-minded peasants who not read, the planters were steadily working to place their factories in a fortified condition to be able to defy him later One fortified the mask was thrown off, ? n< L subordinates were openly defied to come and prevent the grinding* or destroy the factory. Os course to do this required ready cash, and as the two previous years in Cuba had been almost ruinous for the smaller planters, thev wore to defend their property on the same scale as their more fortunate companions It is a fact that cannot be denied that when the insurgents, incensed at Weyler's guarantee to the planters that thev could resume work on the 15th of March, started in to burn the factories, they did not wreak their vengeance on the. wealthy planters whose estates were fortified, but contented themselves with burning all the small undefended factories of their poorer countryAMERICAN CAPITAL. Owing to the comparative freedom from Internal revolutions in Cuba during the last decade, American capital has steadily increased its sphere of investments. Many owners of large estates placed their buildings in the hands of promoters who have formed large stock companies and syndicates, controlled by prominent sugar brokers in this country. Among the fotemost of such concerns Is the Constancia Sugar Company, under the presidency of Mr. Osgood Welsh, of New York. Their estate, the Constancia, is the most extensive in Cuba, and onlv one other factory (Caracas) exceeds them in the amount of sugar turned out in a crop. This estate was formerly owned by the Marquis de Apeztiguifa, but at present, though still holding considerable stock, he is only the resident manager. On his refusal to obey the rebel leader's decree forbidding him to work, Gomez sent hirr a message saying: "I am going to burn your factory and hang you to a 'guasima' tree.” Apeztiguia replied: “You are very discourteous, but pray do not delay your visit, for I shall be very much pleased to meet you. I have ordered all the ‘guasima’ trees to be cut down, and have prepared a block and tackle from the top of the highest chimney for your reception. ’ Gomez never carried out ills threat or accepted the invitation to call, but has done all in his power to destroy the property. The estate gives employment to from five thousand to six thousand people in the occupation of sugar-making in all its branches. To preserve the buildings and the lives of the employes from the attacks of the insurgents the company has been compelled to construct about eighty forts or blockhouses, and to employ the services of a force of special police, numbering about seven hundred men. For the maintenance of this large force, a.,d the cost of the arms, equipment, horses, etc., the owners pay on an average of $30,000 per month. Notwithstanding the presence of this well-armed body, the rebels have several times succeeded In dashing in and cutting down the inoffensive laborers working in the fields The Soledad estate, situated a few league*

to the east of Cienfuegos. Is owned by Mr. E. Atkins, of Boston. This property has also suffered from the effects of the insurgent raids. Forts and special police are also employed to defend it against these attacks. The Trinidad estate, situated in the valley of the same name, is owned by an American syndicate, of which Mr. O. B Stillman. of Boston, is the representative. Owing to the repeated and persistent attacks upon his place be has employed the services of seventy armed men for its protection. During this last campaign several attempts were made to blow up his machinery with dynamite, but. owing to ignorance displayed in placing the bombs, the explosions did but little damage. DESTROYING FACTORIES. On my last trip from Gomez's camp to the coast, during the month of March last, I met a young Cuban officer in the hills above Trinidad, who explained to me how he had placed a bomb under tho furnaces of the factory, and that how after the explosion it only took a few hours to repair .'he damage. As we stood on the summit of a high mountain overlooking the beautiful panorama of the valley below my friend pointed to a column of smoke arising from a tail chimney in the distance, “There, ’ said he, “is the place owned by your infernal countrymen. They have frustrated all our plans to destroy the factory so far, but the next time 1 attempt to explode a bomb I will be sure to catch Mr. Stillman and his manager. Mr. Turner, and blow them up wtth the factory." Other large syndicates having their headquarters in New York are the Puerto Padre Company, controlling the large estate of San Manuel; the Narciso Company, representing the magnificent factory of the same name at Yaguajay, in the district; the Tuinieu Company, owning an estate situated near Sancti Splritus, and whose cane was burned by the Spaniards to prevent the rebels from cutting it for forage for thoir horses; and the Rosario Sugar Company, representing the largest factory in Havana province, at Aguacnte. These concerns are all represented in New York by J. M. Ceballos & Cos. Many individual Americans are also owners of valuable estates in Cuba. Foremost amongst these estates is the Hormiguero, owned by Elias Ponvert, of New York, which is considered as a model of neatness and good results. The Parque Alto and Dos Hermanos are the property of the Fowlev Brothers: the Saratoga, of the McCullogh Brothers: the Carolina, of the Stewarts; the Santa Catalina, of Henry Heidegger; the Ti n & uaro * Charles La Rosa; and the San Miguel, of the Casanova Brothers; and the holdings of Julio Hidalgo complete the list of prominent American estates in the central district. The large factory Santa Teresa, near Manzanillo, and the Congreso and Senado, near Puerto Principe, are also owned by Americans. Many of these eYnploy special police, while others have not been molested by the Insurgents, and have no necessity of their protection. The San Miguel and Tinguaro were burned by the rebels. The ovyners of the former have indeed been unfortunate, for, according to all reports, the Spanish troops under Colonel Fondevilla killed several of the employes, and ordered the owners to vacate the premises under threats of death. Shortly after the estate was reported to have been burned by unknown parties, but the writer subsequently learned from General Aguirre that he had ordered Major Valencia to apply the torch as punishment for nonpayment. The same motive explains the destruction of the Tinguaro estata There are many more of our countrymen who have invested their capital in Chiba, and have suffered to a greater or less extent by the destruction of some part of their property. Every one of them has the same story to tell, and all express themselves very forcibly on a point that is but imperfectly understood in this country—and that is, they strenuously object to the persecution of the so-called Cuban “patriots” who are American citizens. MISPLACED GENEROSITY. While many of our charitable citizens hero at home are generously contributing to aid a cause that appeals strongly to popular fancy, the recipients of this generosity have left no stone unturned In attempts to destroy the estates of other Americans in the island of Cuba To protect themselves they are compelled to expend equal sums for fortifications and soldiers, and so at present we find the rather remarkable situation of one part of our population liberally subscribing to destroy the interests of another part—and these, In their turn, are spending equal sums to prevent it. Many American planters can show orders from insurgent leaders prohibiting them under penalty of death and the destruction of their property, to resume work; and the fact that gulls and hurts is that many of these orders are signed by “American’ citizens holding commissions in the rebel army. Many of these planters can place in evidence piles of empty cartridge shells bearingr the stamp of American manufacturers that have been supplied to the rebels by their sympathizers in this Country, to be used against the employes of other Americans in Cuba. We have been accustomed to read a great deal about the “massacres and atrocities” committed by the Spaniards but the fact that the insurgents swoop down and “machete” the peaceable laborers in the field seems to have escaped mention To our American planters the most deplorable side of the question is that thev are completely at the mercy of the insurgents for if they should rtake a formal I SKrt n , ln ‘ h ? courts A of th(i United States against these bogus Americans it would mean the signal for the complete destruction of .JC* eir P r °Prty, and would leave them without even the prospect of future indemnization in ease of a Cuban victorv In the programme Issued by T. Estrada Palma, dated New York, Aug. 15, 1895, he emphatically states, in Article 4, that the Cubans will not be responsible, either before or a.fter the “triumph,” for foreign destroyed during the war. this statement, added to'the persistent persecutions of the rebels and the perpetual demand for money, may explain the reason why so many of our planters are on the side of Spain, or in favor of annexation in preference to a Cuban republic. PREFER ANNEXATION. From a financial standpoint nine-tenths of them prefer annexation, as it would mean many millions of dollars more in their pockets. The Immense bounties paid yearly by the European governments to foster the manufacture of beet-root sugar, and the excessive import duties imposed by the United States government, have affected the Cuban industry to such an extent that only a few of the leading estates, working with the most improved apparatus, and managed on a thorough economic basis, can show a profit at the end of the season. Some years ago, when sugar brought from 3 to 6 cents per pound' in the New York market, and the manufacture of sugar from beets was still in the experimental stage, the Cuban “hacendado” built up large fortunes, and his estate was considered as valuable as a gold mine. This golden era in Cuba was probably one of the worst misfortunes that could have fallen upon her; for the planters, naturally inclined to be wasteful, feeling sure of their monopoly and of their immense gains, gave little attention to the minor details of their business. Economy in administering the estate was not thought of. and large sums were yearly squandered, of which no account was kept. Machinery agents, and others doing business with them, obtained enormous profits for their products and work. The beet-root industry in Europe, on the other hand, was pushed by capitalists, who employed the most perfected machinery, and paid large salaries to skilled chemists to superintend the process of elaboration.

In this way they obtained the highest results, extracting the maximum of saccharine matter from the raw material. As these concerns were content with a moderate rate of gain on their principal invested, and, aided by the bounty, they soon entered the field for supplying the world's market, the result being that the value of sugar steadily decreased, until for the last three years the price paid to the planters has only averaged 2 cents a pound. The average Cuban planter, accustomed as he was to large profits, found it very difficult to successfully carry on his business on the reduced margin, and. owing to tho lack of administrative ability, many were forced to the wall and failed. It w'as probably this fact that led so many of them to place their properties in tlna hands of American capitalists, as only by the expenditure of large sums for the installation of improved machinery could they expect to' make sugar at a profit and successfully compete with their beet-root rival. WASTE OF SWEETNESS. The Cuban sugar cane contains an average of 16 per cent, of saccharine matter, but up to the present date, with existing machinery, the “ingenlos” have only been able to extract on an average of 8 per cent., or one-half. Some estates claim to have extracted as high as IOVi and 11 per cent., but this can be considered as very extraordinary and exceptional, and extremely doubtful, for the chemist or sugar boiler who can obtain such results would soon be “rolling in millions.” Many planters claim that there are only two things that can again restore the prosperous times of old, and these are. either the invention of some process whereby they can extract more sugar from the cane, or the annexation of the island to the United States, which would abolish the present duty, and allow them successfully to drive out the European product. As the first step in this direction, they advocate the settlement of the present war on the basis of home rule, and then, when the people are sufficiently educated in selfgovernment. to Initiate a movement towards annexation, based on a payment to Spain of so many millions of dollars. Others are more outspoken and eagerly advocate the Immediate annexation of the island without consulting the wishes of either the Spaniards or the Cuban insurgents. The Cubans frankly admit that they cannot win the war by force of arms, and in the next breath declare that they will accept no solution that is not based on absolute independence. The Spaniards emphatically state that under no consideration will they listen to any proposition of this nature; and owing to the campaign of the rebels In persistently holding out in the hills, without presenting a front, it is difficult to see. how they can expect to suppress the revolution for a year or so to come. In the meanwhile many of the sugar estates, except those that employ special forces of urnßsl police, are compelled to pay taxes on both sides. As the rebels have positively prohibited the continuance of work in many instances, and have sworn to destroy the factories of those who disobey their order, it is clear that with many planters it is only a question of time when they will have to abandon the struggle, withdraw their protection and allow the insurgent to carry out his threat, providing something does not happen in the near future to end this seemingly interminable struggle.
