GENERAL NOTES— (Continued). 



A NEW SUGAR MILL, 



The Stewart Sugar Company has been 

 incorporated at Trenton, N. J., with a 

 capital stock of $2,500,000. The incor- 

 porators are William F. Corliss, Henry 

 A. Yeomens and H. B. Boyesen. This 

 company will also have $1,250,000 6% 

 first mortgage bonds and $1,500,000 7% 

 general mortgage bonds. The entire 

 issue of first mortgage bonds has already 

 been sold at par, with a percentage of 

 stock. This company is formed in con- 

 nection with the reorganization of the 

 Silveira Sugar Company. The new com- 

 pany plans to complete the sugar factory 

 at Silveira, near Ciego de Avila, Prov- 

 ince of Camaguey, Cuba, the construc- 

 tion of which commenced last year. — 

 Willett & Gray's Sugar Trade Journal. 



Later advices from Cuba are to the 

 ef¥ect that this mill will begin grinding 

 on December 15 next. Its capacity is 

 200,000 bags. — Publishers Cuba Review. 



AGRICULTURE SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN CUBAN 

 SCHOOLS. 



In the Revista de la Facultad de Let- 

 ras y Ciencias, the organ of the Univer- 

 sity of Havana, we find a very sugges- 

 tive article on the urgent need for some 

 instruction in the rudiments of agricul- 

 ture in the public country schools of 

 Cuba. The author, Prof. Jose Cadenas, 

 not only makes a strong plea for the in- 

 troduction of this industry, but gives 

 simple directions, with illustrations, 

 showing how easily it could be managed 



with no expensive change in the present 

 system. He says that it seems to him of 

 n-.ore importance that a child should have 

 some general fundamental ideas about the 

 nature of soils and conditions of vege- 

 table life than about countries which he 

 never will see. The future of Cuba is 

 agricultural, and no efforts should be 

 spared to put her in the way of compet- 

 ing successfully with scientifically trained 

 rivals. See a Cuban public school interior 

 on page 20. 



HAVANA TO LOSE TOBACCO FACTORIES. 



Owing to the strike of the cigar mak- 

 ers at Havana, the tobacco combine has 

 closed a contract for the erection of 

 large buildings at Matanzas, to which it 

 is intended to move the big Havana fac- 

 tories. The strike was declared in orcer 

 to compel the payment of wages in Am- 

 erican instead of Spanish money. It has 

 now lasted two months. 



NEW TELEGRAPH LINE. 



The sum of $4,300 has been appro- 

 priated for the purpose of con.?tructing 

 a telegraph line from Bahia Honda to 

 Consolacion del Norte, Province of 

 Pinar del Rio. 



Two hundred of Upham & Company's 

 employees, who are tobacconists, estab- 

 lished an organization in 1902 and ^heir 

 bank for savings has been a good 

 scheme. Their capital now amounts to 

 about $91.3 each, as the fruits of economy 

 and thrift.
