Fifty per cent of the industries and mijlls already are in operation, 9913 per cent of the destroyed railways have been repaired and SO per cent of the art works have been restored. The German government is aware of this, but nevertheless has the audacity to spread insinuations throughout a na- v to France that the lat- makes capital- of her n order to perpetuate hatred rld. Such action does not even deserve notice.” The premier was loudly applauded at the conclusion of his address. Jamaicanx Return to Cuba. KINGSTON.
