ROAD WORK SUSPENDED 



Work on the new road between Jaruco and 

 Tumba Cuatro has had to be suspended be- 

 cause sufficient funds have not been appropri- 

 ated to continue the work. This road was 

 commenced (hiring the government of General 

 Magoon. 



EGYPTIAN TOBACCO 



It is thought that the new status of Egypt 

 under the government of Great Britain will re- 

 sult in an increased cultivation of tobacco. 

 Under former conditions Lord Cromer in 

 1890 limited the area allowed for the growth of 

 tobacco in Egypt to 1,500 zcres, and subse- 

 quently forVjade tobacco-growing altogether. 



The soil of Egypt is well adapted to the 

 growing of tobacco, but it is not at all to be 

 assumed that the nature of the Egyptian soil 

 would interfere with the tobacco crop of 

 Cuba, as it is the soil, not the type of tobacco 

 plant, which makes the difference between 

 tobaccos, for instance Cuban and Egyptian. 



The workmen at the tobacco factory "Los 

 India," at ManzanUlo, have been on a strike 

 recently, and have created some disorder be- 

 cause the factory had purchased some cigars 

 from an outside source in order to complete 

 an order. 



SUGAR EXPERIMENTAL STATION

 school be estalilished for the purpose of the 

 study and instruction of the latest and best 

 methods of extracting sugar from sugar cane. 

 It is thought that the various centrals on the 

 Island of Cuba would support such an enter- 

 prise and would probably contriVjute to its 

 support if they were convinced that.it would

CATTLE DISEASE 



An outbreak of cattle di-sease at La Gloria, 

 Camaguey, has caused the loss of thirty-seven 

 oxen, and the local veterinary surgeon was 

 unable to tell what the disease was. It is 

 jirobable that a government exjiert will be 

 sent to La Gloria to investigate. 



ROAD IMPASSABLE 



The main road between Guanajay and 

 Cabanas is in such liad condition that it can 

 hardly be used. The Secretary of Public 

 Works has been requested to takej'prompt 

 action.
