Pitiful State of Desolation Wrought by

New Yotk, Sept. 20. — William
Willis Howard, general manager of the
Cuban industrial lelief fund, ami who
has lecently returned from Cuba, says:
“Cuba ie in a pitiful state. Instead
of a rainy season, Cuba has had a
drought. Not since 1844 has there
been such long-continued dry weather
during the summer. The result has
been disastrous. The United States
weather bureau reports that all small
crops have been ruined. Sugar cane
lias been so damaged that the crop next
year will be less than the crop ground
this year.
“The most distressing featuie of the
drought is the destruction of the corn
crop. Even under favorable circum
stances, the corn crop would have been
small, for it was planted in driblets,
here and there. Tlie weather bureau
reports show that the corn crop will
yield not more than 5 per cent. On
our relief farms we have better coin
than any I have seen in Cuba, due no
doubt to the fact that we put more la
bor on the growing crop than anyone
else was able to do.
“Business in tiie cities is desperately
dull. The hotels are empty, restaurants
idle and all small affairs are lifeless.
Large business concerns are scraping
along as best they may, in the hope
that the future of the island may be
definitely settled.
“In the country the desolation
wrought by war and weather still con
tinues without abatement.”

all stocks continued depressed, there

The text of President Kruger’s reply

places is taken to indicate a film, un

ever, concludes:
“If her majesty’s government is
willing, and leels able to make this de
cision a joint commission, as at first
proposed by Chamberlain, it would put
an end to the present state of tension.
Race hatred would decrease and die
