Havana, too, will grow immensely under the increase of busine: it will become a great winter resort for America. There will be chances there in real estate and many positions for hustling young Americans as clerks. To sum it all up, there is no more fertile spot on earth, and it stands to reason that under an enlightened and progressive govern- ment the large resources will lead to vast finances. I shall be in Havana after peace is declared. I shall be glad to help any Americans with such ad- tel Rafael on Wednesday evening, Au- vice as I ean give.” Antonio Colas, one of the largest Eddy & Co., the largest wholesale house engaged in the West Indles { trade, declares emphatically that American merchants should not invest their money in Cuba nor in the Philip- pines. “Those countries,” he says, “‘are too highly organized commercially for any American of small capital or large either, for that matter, to think of competing with the native talent. The American visiting the islands will find them plotted out in a manner that would entirely exclude foreign competi- tion. The Cubans themselves are a very shrewd people. They know the lan- guage and the habits of the people about them. They know their wants and how best to cater to them. They are therefore not handicapped as the Americans would be by the absence of the very requirements needed to secure an entr) Again, no American would be willing (even supposing he could in the climate) to work as do the native merchants, sixteen hours out of the twenty-four each day. “You see, too many people make the mistake of regarding Cuba in the light of an unexplored country like the Klon- dike. Now you or I could go to the Klondike and enter into active compe- tition with the other fellow with some chance of success, because the same conditions would govern us all.

Dohrmann arrived in New York X merchants in Santiago, is now in New York and has with him powers of at- torney from some fifty Cuban mer- chants to act in their Interests in America. When asked to speak of Santiago province and the business op- portunities there, he sald: “Santiago, in the first place, is the largest province in Cuba, with a popu- lation relatively much smaller than any other. For this reason it offers good chances for Americans. It is divided by the Slerra Maesta Mountains, which form a watershed, fertilizing both the northern and southern parts. It has many rivers, among which is the Cauto, the largest in Cuba. The mineral re- sources are abundant. The iron mines produce from 65 to 90 per cent of mag- netic iron, and it {s from this material, because of its high grade, that the ar- mor and armor-piercing projectiles of the United States navy are made. There are manganese mines producing from 50 to 56 per cent of peroxide of manganese, a grade superior to the Russian because of the small amount of phosphorus therein. There are most valuable copper mines, which have been carried on by English companies, but work on which was discontinued because of the fatal restrictions of the Spanish Government. Add to these pe- troleum, coal, lead, tin, and deposits of asphaltum and you can gain some 1dea of the resources there. “The forests of the Santlago province are the largest in Cuba. There are im- mense tracts of pine and the hard woods are unequaled In the island for quality and size. The cedar is the best in the world and the mahogany is as good as that of San Domingo. In all there are sixty different kinds of wood there. After cutting the forests, the land can be cleared easily by burning, leaving very fertile property. The cli- mate is beautiful if ordinary care is taken. In the interior the much feared yellow fever exists only in rare cases, and then is due to the Spanish soldiers, a source of danger whick will soon be removed. The soll is so moist that ma- laria sometimes appears, but a little care will avert this trouble. In San- tiago, too, coffee is abundant and also cocoa, equal to that of Maracaibo. There are lots of pineapples. The to- bacco, however, hae not the high qual- ity of the Pinar del Rio grade and is sold mostly in Germany and Spain. “Yes, I should advise a young man to go there. If he {s ambitious, intelli- gent and economical, he can make good progress. The fact that the people there have been able to pay the high rates of interest, the excessive taxes and still make money proves that great success will be possible under Ameri- can rule. Ulysses D. Eddy of the firm of Flint, same language. “The condition in the Philippines is precisely the same as it 1s in Cuba. There is one large city, Manila, only one-quarter the inhabitants of which are merchants. The Chinese control the trade and they will go on controlling it. They know the habits of the peo- ple and what they want. They make big profits because they live in a penu- rious manner which no respectable American would be able to abide for an instant. No, I do not think much of Cuba or the Philippines as new ave- nues for American eapital.” HEODORE WATERS. Copyright, 1898. FRAT_EBNQL. Continued from Page Twenty-elght. FORESTERS' RELIEF COMMITTEE.
