THE CUBA REVIEW 



25 



The political disturbance previously referred to caused a brief but complete paralysis 

 of business in the territory of the railroad and some damage to its property. The latter 

 and various expenses incurred in connection therewith amounted to approximtely $13,000, 

 of which amount $8,672.79 was charged to the Cuban government previous to June 30th 

 last. This entire claim will doubtless be paid in due time as was the case with similar 

 claims in consequence of the revolution which overthrew the Palma regime in 1906. 



The officers of this company are as follows: M. H. Lewis, president, New York City; 

 G. St. L. Abbott, vice-president and treasurer, Boston, Alass. : I. McD. Garfield, vice- 

 president, Boston, ]\Iass. ; R. L. Bean, secretary and asst. trear.urer. New York City. 



CANE SUGAR IN LOWER CALIFORNIA 



Sugar cane, mostly of the yellow variety, 

 is cultivated to a limited extent in the 

 southern half of the territory of Lower 

 California, and plantations are to be found 

 in La Paz consular district at Todos San- 

 tos, San Jose del Cabo, Mulege, Cadonno, 

 Miraflores, San Bartolo, Candelario, San 

 Bruno and Comandu. 



The total area of land under cane cul- 

 tivation is 800 hectares, or about 1,976 

 acres. The average number of canes per 

 hectare is 1,000. There are 24 sugar mills 

 in the district, the largest ones being at 

 Todos Santos, 63 miles south of La Paz, 

 on the Pacific coast. 



In the Todos Santos district are springs 

 which furnish water for irrigation. Manure 

 fertilizer is used. The plantations are laid 

 out in squares inclosing a certain number 



of canes. These squares are banked up 

 with earth so that water may be run in 

 from the irrigation ditches and be shut off 

 when a sufficient quantity has surrounded 

 the stalks. Cane is allowed to grow up 

 from the old roots for five years, after 

 which period the plantation is burned over 

 and new seed planted. — Consul Lucien N. 

 Sullivan, La Paz, Mexico.
