More Sugar Estates 



The president of the Cuba Railroad, Sir 

 William Van Home, accompanied by Mr. 

 Galdos, called on President Gomez June 

 ;Jd and discussed with him the formation 

 of a company with native and foreign capi- 

 tal, having a capital stock of some seven 

 million dollars, to be invested in seven 

 or eight sugar estates along the main line 

 of the Cuba Railroad. Quite a number of 

 shares of stock have already been sub- 

 scribed. 



It is believed the first sugar estate will 

 be at Marti. 



In the development of this great project 

 the organizers are meeting with consider- 



able resistance from the owners of lands, 

 who do not want to open them for public 

 service. 



Sir William Van Home will be the presi- 

 dent of the new company, says La Discus- 

 sion. The Cuba railroad has recently or- 

 dered ten new locomotives for use on its 

 rapidly growing lines on the island, says 

 the Washington Herald. 



Extensions totalling ISO miles are to be 

 opened by the latter part of July, which 

 will give the port of Manzanillo connec- 

 tion inland by rail. The company is also 

 doubling the capacity of the Jatibonico 

 mill. "The whole island," says Sir Will- 

 iam, "is quietly prosperous."
