THE ABORNING POST.' MAY 28, 1899- II ran in CUBA Investors Taking Chances on Their Money- Capitalists Alaklno Investments In Public Works on Their Faith in the Cuban Disposition to Tote Fair. Frank W. Ilawley, who Ms return ed to this country after a study of the industrial 'on(Titions of Cuba., wth a view to the investment of American and European capital, believes rhar, in spite of the fact that the lraker res olution prohibits tlhe War Department from sanctioning amy grants or fran chises during the American occupa tion of the island, many capitalists will take contracts tor puoire wwrhs from the munic!ipalitties, ami, relying on the good faith of the Cubans will go ahead and spend money regardless of the unsettled condition of affairs Mr. Ilawley traveled through the island particularly in the interests of tin West Indies Telegraph and Cable Coalman v. which intends to establish telegraph ami telephone linos on tin coast and in the interior. The eolni- pany s lines wiill run over public and private fights of way, 'and the work of construction is now under way in several of the towns. The officers of the company have gone ahead 'with 'tfreiir work, regardless of the attitude of the United States government to ward the granting of fraiieliises, iu the 'belief that the icoini'mg government of the island will uphold any arrange nients which are made now tor its betterment. "The cities of Cuba," said Mr. Ilaw ley to a Sun 'reporter "are managed by the conservative ami responslbh Cubans and Spaniiards, who 'have no interest or heart in the movements of the so-called Cuban insurgents. They were peaceaMe and law-abiding dur ing tihe war, and they conduct the taf fairs of the municipalities as they would their own private business. Tin syndicate I represent, relying on tin goon "iainn ami nusiness nomr oi ukjsi autnori tnes, has invested 'in tiie securi ties of these municipalities since th; American occuipaii.on .began, ami is now constructing electric Jaghting plants, water works, sewers and p.ivi ments in the -ilties. "The grants which were given by the so-called military authorities of the island during the years that they were in insurrection are, in nryjudg menit worthless, and .1 do not think that they . will be recognized by tlu government that will ul'rlmhirely ciuitrol the island. They were pun; ilia sUl up. hi a contingency and in total disregard of the rights of individuals and muuiei pal corporations. Many of them have been offered for sale here, but thev have been found to be wholly unsala T ,1 T" . -i " -t 1 uie. it as my inugment ana mat i my associates that where investments are made for the benefit of the peoph of a dty or town such investment AvUll be respected by the courts and the incoming general government. iu my judgment, the l oraker re.o lution prohibiting the granting of fran cliises in the newly acquired territory was pernicious. It frightened capital and prevented the immediate begin nihg of public work that would have employed all the unemployed labor in the island at remunerative prices. Thi work would have relieved the Federal government of the necessity ot furn ish Lug rations to the poor and starv ing of the island, and put them in a position to renabiliitate theur property and start by their own efforts toward prosperity. The uncertainty of the no toon ot the Imilte! States intimiUated Loudon capital, which was offered in great abundance. The cflVet on the island has been to diminish the mini Der or competitors tor franchises and thus increase the price, which the mu nicipalities must pay for the improve ments. In the sharp competition the munutpalities were getting it.he benelit of very low bids, and the immediate completion ot public 'improvements was one of the features considered I he attitude of Congress intimidated probably 73 per cent of the competi tors, uoii'sequentiy oities and towns are paying much .higher rates than 4-1 ... IT 1 . -i uif.v "Houiu nave oeen compelled to otherwise. "The sugar plantations in most pai;ts of the island have been rakled by eith er one army or the other. Those that have been protected and are todav 1n operation paid large sums of monev to The officers ot each army for protec tion. Tihe pkintations ire generally small, and their owners are Avholly un able to rebuild the destroyed grinding mills. This being the case, investors are buying these properties, consolida ting tiie estates, and building large modern and perfectly; appointed mills, centrally located, to grind the output of the plantations. They are building electric roads through the estates to handle the raw cane, and are ' thus re ducing the cost of working them to the minimum. ' . 'Throughout the island its' mineral wealth is attracting attention. There is a n anuiiaanee ot copper of an ex ceedingly superior quality. It has 'been developed because the Invariable rule of the Spanish government was either to seiz? the mines or impose such a tax that the owners got little more than an ordinary wage for working them. There is copper enough in Cuba to supply a large part of tlfe public de mand for electrical development, and j it is in the hands of so many interests that lit will take heroic efforts on the part of any one or two persons or cor porations to eliminate competition "There has been a great change in wit; 'uusmess meth'ed bills of lading the business of the inl and has been increased largely. Io day a man can hold the "product ot his land an warehouses and borrow monev against warehouse recetpts, thus taking advantage of the highest market prices and still Ixdng able to get funds with which to plant his land .mil harvest his crop. This system was almost .wholly unknown until the advent of American enterprise. 'The -worst enemies of Cuba today are the deposed military officers. They are generally men who lor yeai uut gained a livelihood by breeding ui- content.

In this way the flavoring juices of the beef are preserved, so that roast beef will taste as if the ox had been killed ouly a. day or two before. : When it is remembered that the trip to Manila from New YorK will occupy ten weeks, even though the (ilacier goes by way of the Suez Canal, it can be easily understoou that anything less tban freezing tbe meat would not preserve it.
