Many storiestliavc lately been print
ed concerning the .social and commer
cial conditions of the Island pf Cuba,
but none are more interesting than the
one told by Mr. Samuel C. Dobbs, of i
Atlanta.
Mr. Dobbs has just returned home
after a ten days' stay mi the island,
and what he has tu say of the
things he saw and his impressions
of thc needs of Cuba form not
only a highly interesting story, but
one intensely important and instruct
ive.
Mr. Dobbs i.^ the manager of tin
coca cola company, of this city, and
v/hilc his trip to IinelcSam's new pos- .
sessions was made in the interest of |
business, still he spent a greater pur
tion of his time in sight-seeing. Ho
ing a close observer his talk will prove
exceedingly bright and interesting
just at this time. He has brought
hack to Atlanta, in addition to his
store of knowledge regarding the little
island, many valuable souvenirs of his
trip, chief among which arc several
snap-shots of more than passing in
terest.
A reporter called on Mr. Dobbs after
his return, and in answer to an in
quiry about his trip, he said:
"Our party left Atlanta on Tues
day ?night, January ii ii, and reached
Miami, Fla., on Wednesday night.
There wc boarded the Prince Md ward,
a magnificent English steamer. On
Thursday afternoon wc were ut an
chorage in Havana harbor. Going in
we had a magnificent view of Morro
and Cabanos Castles on the left. On
the right were Santa Clara and Veda
do batteries. When I saw these for
ti?cations I then realized what an im
possible task it was to have taken Ha
vana by sea.
''The view of Havana as we entered
the harbor was one of indescribable
beauty. Prominent among the build
ings is the Presidio, which is the Cu
ban penitentiary and one of thc largest
buildings ia Havana. Thc Havana
postofiieo, now under control of the
American government, stands at the
foot of Caballer?a wharf, and is a
handsome building.
'.The arrangement for landing passen
gers in Havana harbor is outrageous.
Our steamer did not go to the wharf,
but anchored out in the harbor, which
is now the custom there, aud passen- I
gcrs are compelled to pay exorbitant |
prices to boatmen in order to get I
ashore. This is a great inconven
ience, i don't know why such a cus
tom should exist, as it is a great nui
sance and not in keeping with up-to
date American methods. The steam
ers anchor about 200 yards from the
wharf, and tho spectacle of women
and children clamoring to get aboard
tho little boats is disgusting aud inex
cusable. I had to pay oue dollar to get
ashore.
"Havana is a quaint city of 200,000
people. It is dotted with small but
well kept and beautiful parks, which
at this season of tho year are radiant
with roses and many other flowers in
full bloom. Under the vigorous laws
and discipline of Generals Brooke and
Wood thc city is a model of cleanli
ness. Thc streets are very narrow,
barely wide enough for tho small
coaches which arc used in Havana to
pass one another. Under police reg
ulations these little carriages are al
lowed to go only one way and to re
turn by another. Tin 18 is done to
avoid passing each otbc The side
walks are practically useless, being
only wide euough for one person to
walk upon, thc people generally walk
ing in the streets."
"What did you notice as the condi
tion of thc people of Uavaua regarding
their poverty or wealth?" asked thc re
porter.
"Well, there is very little evidence
of poverty on the streets," answered
Mr. Dobbs. '".Thc poor people arc ap
parently well fed, and on account of
the very delightful climate need but
little clothing. There are many cvi
di ces on all sides of wealth. Stand
ing in from of thc Tacom theatre,
which, by the way, is one of the hand
somest theatres on the western conti
nent.' I witnessed the assembling of
one of the most brilliant audiences I
ever sa.v. Practically all the people
were Cubans and Spaniards. The wo
men, as a rule, were very handsome,
and nicely dressed in full evening cos- I
tumc of the latest Parisian fashions.
Diamonds glittered under the bright
arc lights like a million dewdrops in
the morning sun. I never saw the
like before. Some of thc diamonds
were as large as hazel nuts and their
brilliancy was simply blinding. The
ladies wore no hats, but I do not know
whether this was because there is a
law similar to the one wc have in At
lanta. They invariably wore, in a
aibstfascinating manner, the beauti
ful and graceful mantilla, and I was
told by a gentleman that many of

thcso mantillas wer?; worth as much as
"How is thc hotel service in Ha
vana?" he was asked.
"Thc buildings arc handsome struc
tures, but my, thc .-.ervin' and thc
price-and the food is as had as thc
price is high. The rate- ?rc from
$3.00 to $8 (III a 'lay, ami none of them
will compare at all to our average $2
a day American hotels. These hotels
are run hy a rich class of Spaniards.
I had to climb up three flights of
stairs with my baggage at ono of the
bc-t hotels simply because tho eleva
tor only runs two hours in the morn
?lil? and two hours in the evening, and
I struck it at the wrong time."
"Did you see much drunkenness on
the island?"
"I never saw hui one drunken mau
during my ten days' stay on the is
land. I venturi! to say that Havana
is as well policed as any city in tin;
United States. The police force lhere
is composed of native Cubans, but is
directly under the control of Ameri
can army officers. The people as a
class are a pleasure loving-people. In
tho evenings they Assemble in large
numbers in the parks, prados and
cafes. In cafes they sit and enjoy
light refreshments and the .delightful
cigarettes and cigars for which thc is
land is noted.
"D is a very rare thing, however, to
see a lady smoking in Havana. I was
told that sonic of them did smoke, but
if they do it is in thc privacy of their
homes. It is the custom, however,
to smoke in Cuba wherever you choose,
and in the very best cafesjt is not an
unusual thing to sec gentlemen at ta
bles with ladies smokinir during thc
course of a meal."
"How do people succeed who go
from the States to Cuba with little or
no money?"
"In answer to that I want to say
that the idea that a man eau go from
the States without capital and with
out a knowledge of thc language
or customs of the people over there
and succeed is a very fallacious one,
and my advice to any young mau who
contemplates going to Cuba is to stay
away unless he has a good position as
sured him, or has ample means to
maintain himself until he is able to
learn the language and establish him
self with the people there.
A great many adventurous Auicri
cans have gone to Cuba in thc vain
hope of getting something. In mauy
instances they have lost what little
they did have, and on account of fre
riuent unfortunate experiences with
such people the native merchant looks '
upon thc average American with sus
picion. A prominent man-a Span
iard-stated to me that he did notcarc
todo business with Americans who had
come to thc island to engage in busi
ness.
"This docs not apply, of course, to
every ono who goes there from tho
States, but indicates in a general way
the feeling of thc business people
there."
"What kind of business men do the
natives make, Mr. Dobbs?"
"Splendid. The business training
of thc native merchants has been good
They pay their bill H. and transactions
as a rule arc cash. T vrus reliably in
formed that', during the long and de
pressing busiuess experience during
the war theve was not a single failuro
in Havana. The merchants owned
their stock, owed nothing, and wero
able to close their doors and suspend
business at their pleasure.
"Very little banking is done in Ha
vana. Merchants carry their surplus
money in their own safes and do not,
as a rule, use a bank for deposit pur
poses."
'How about the manufactories over
there?" was asked.
"Well, some things inthr', line sur
prised me. Tor instance-and this
may lc of interest to mauy-one con
cern in Havana manufactures a line
of line soaps and perfumes equal to
any made in France or Germany.
Some id the soap manufactured by
this concern retails as high as 7") cents
per cake. The style and appearance
of these goods eompare favorably with
any I have ever seen. The art and
bric-a-brac stores are beautiful. They
carry large stocks of costly paintings,
exquisite china and glassware, im
ported from every section of thc i
globe, and they are liberally pa
tronized by tho wealthy people of Ha
vana."
"Did you spend any time out of Ha
vana?"
"Oh, yes; I visited Mantanzas and
several other cities, and spent a few
days in thc country, where I noted
the conditions of tho poorer Cu
bans."
"How did you find thom?"
"Well, the poor uativo Cubans in
the country districts are but ?little if
an/ above the negro in habits and in
tc licet, und there tho color line dis
appears. The climate and soil of Cu
ba encourages indolence among the
natives. They are ignorant and dirty.
Their hornes arc Hoorless, with a
thatched roof of palm leaves, the sides
of the little hut being composed of
boxes, patent medicine signs or any
scraps of lumber they can pick up.
humber there is very high.
"This clas.i of people have to work
but little. If they can stpuat on an
acre of ground, get haifa dozen ba
nana tree?, a little sugar cane, a cow
or a goat, they are happy. They can
raise three crops of vegetables in a
year without scarcely any work at all.
The mass from a couple of royal palm
trees will fatten a pig. These, aug
mented with what he can purloin from
a nearby sugar plantation, keeps him
in luxury."
"What, in your judgment, arc the
most urgent needs of Cuba to-day?"
"She must have peace and abundant
capital. I interviewed ;i number of
the most prominent Cubans, repre
senting various business and profes
sions. Thc freely expressed senti
ment of the educated ('aban is that
they are not ready for Cuba Libre.
They say: 'We want the United .States
to maintain a protectorate over us for
some time to come.' They are delight
ed with the present conditions, and
look forward hopefully to au era of
great prosperity.
"General Ludlow has done a great
v* . :k in Havana. While his austere
military methods has made him ene
mies, he has the support of the ma
jority of the thinking people of thc
island. During my stay there I did
not hear one unkind expression made
against the Americans. On tho con
trary, I was shown marked courtesy
by all with whom I came in contact.
I was driven over the city by some
of thc prominent Cubans, and they
took au especial delight in showing mc
every attention possible.
"A prominent ofiicial of the presid
io (the Cuban penitentiary) conducted
Mr. Howard Patilla and myself
through the building. It is a model
in cleanliness and arrangement. The
prisoners are happy over the changed
condition of affair.-*. I talked with a
number of them. They freely ex
pressed themselves in regard to the
difference iu their treatment under
American rule and Spanish rule. They
now have beds to sleep on and an am
ple supply of wholesome food,
which has not heretofore been the
case.
"The building looks out over the
bay. Our escort told us that when
the American warships sailed out of
Havana harbor the prisoners thought
that Spain had retaken the island. Ile
said that as the ships sailed away and
the ignorant prisoners watched them
and thought again of having to return
to the old regime, that pandemonium
ruled thc prison. In their despair it
was almost impossible to make them
believe that their suspicions were uot
correct. Some of them, he said,
openly declared they much preferred
death to a return of Spanish ru? . Bo
fore leaving the building we were
treated to a concert by a good band ol'
fifty pieces composed entirely of in
mates of tho prison."
"Are there many merchants from
the States in business in Cuba?"
"No, I think not. Merchants from
thc States are almost shut out from
doing business on the island by exor
bitant duties. The receipts at thc
Havana custom house are averaging
about a million and a half dollars per
month. I spent a portion of several
days trying to obtain a proper classifi
cation of our product, but without any
tangible results. Thcrfe is great com
plaint from all sources against the con
ditions now prevailing in the custom
house.
"The American business man has
been paying since July, 1898, au ex
orbitant war tax, and is now unable to
reap any benefits from thc result of
the war. Some conoerns are doing
business on the island at a dead loss,
hoping thc present Congress will give
them some relief. Others have gone
to Cuba, investigated the conditions,
and seeing no hope of profitable busi
ness, have declined to make further
efforts for the present.
"The conditions in a nutshell are
that the American manufacturer, un
der tho l?epublican tariff laws, is pay
ing a high duty on imported materi
als, thereby greatly increasing the cost
of manufactured goods herc, and be is
further compelled to pay a high duty
in order to dispose of his goods in Cu
ba, which practically puts him out of
competition with the European manu
facture."
"How about the sugar industry in
Cuba?"
"Weil, I'll iel! you. Tho soil o?
Cuba is rich beyond description,
though only a very small percentage
is now under cultivation. Tho sugai
mills havo nearly all been burned
down and tho planters have had
their crops destroyed from time tc
time daring tho past four years until
many of them aro bankrupt. With
confidence restored and with sufficient
capital to develop the now dormant re
sources of Cuba, in five years
timo that little island would become
the paradise of tho western homis
phere.
"Talking with a Cuban planter, h<
told inc that thc sugar crop for 18?W
and for 1000 would amount to 350,000
tons ouch year. This with less than
10 per cent of thc plantations under
cultivation. This man owns a planta
tion of 1,000 acres. (Jo this he ex
pects to make this year 4,500,000
pounds of crude >ugar. It will cost
him 10 per cent to get his cane ground
and his sugar ma i'1. He will receive
at the mill about t'vo cents per
pound for his product in a very crude
state.
"There is not a single sugar mill in
the island of Cuba which is able to
make a fair article of relined sugar,
and refined sugar in Havana to-day i
worth 2 cents per pound more than it
is in Atlanta. The great need of Cu
ba at the present time is sugar mills
fitted with the latest and best machin
ery. To do this it will take large in
vestments, but the returns will be al
most fabulous."
"The tabacco industry there isa
proiitable one, is it not?"
"Yes. The tobacco industry ol'
Cuba is a large one. In the Pinardcl
Kio district, about 100 miles southwest
from Havana, the finest tobacco in the
world is grown. I was reliably in
formed that as much as $40,000 worth
of tobacco was gathered from a small
farm of less than thirty fi ve acres in one
season. This crop, however, is avery
precarious one.
There is great attention now be
ing paid to orange culture iu Cuba.
Herctoforo oranges have not been cul
tivated, the crop simply being from
natural growth, and naturally of au in
ferior quality. But large orchards are
now being planted with the very finest
varieties of India River Florida stock,
and will no doubt prove a rich lUVCSv* I
mont."
"'The future outlook for Cuba, thcu,
under certain conditions, you think, is
bright?"
''Yes, I think so. It is safely pre
dicted that immense fortunes will be
made in Cuba in tho next ten years,
and no section of thc globe oilers
to-day richer returns to the large
investors than western and middle
Cuba.
"Cuba should belong to us, and tho
present Congress should wipe out tho
iniquitous tariff laws that now exist..
We have paid the price of thc war,
and American products should find au
open door in Cuba. The merchants
there are anxious to do business with
us. They are grateful to us for what
we have done for then, and are
willing to .show it in a substantial
way."

His Opinion of the Sick Man.
Acertain Mcmphian and his wife
are in the habit occasionally of going
out at night to entertainments and
social affairs, and at such times they
make themselves solid with their little
boy by say ingalba i thoy are going out
to see a sick man.
One week these social affairs came
pretty frequently. On Monday night
they went to thc theatre and told the
lad they had to sit up with a sick
mac Tuesday night they went out
to visit a neighbor and cxplaiued that
they were going to give 3omo medicine
to the man that was sick. On Wed
nesday night they proposed to attend
an entertainment and apoligizod to the
youth chap by saying that they had
to put a plaster on thc sick man's
back to draw out tho pain.
"Papa," asked tho youth, "is the
sick man in much pain?"
"Very much, my son."
"And is ho pretty near dead? '
"Yes; ho's in a bad shape."
The lad thought deeply fora while
and then remarked:
"Well, papa, he can't die auy too
soon to suit me!"-Memphis Scimitar.
No Two Faces About Him.
Tho homeliest man in congress is
Mr. Eddy, of Minnesota, and lie rather
prides himself on this fact. Some of
his political adversaries once accused
him of deceitfulness and hyprocrisy;
but he rose to the occasion.
"They say I am two-faced," said
Mr. Eddy. "Now, gentlemen," look
ing mournful and homlicr than usual
"do vou believe that if I bsd two
faces, I would be wearing this one?"
This did up all his oritics.
- Powdered charcoal, if laid thick
on a burn, will cause t'ie immediato
abatement of the pain. A superficial
burn can thus he healed in about half
an hour.

Sand us tl Diet.
According to a French publication,
"Science pour Tens," in many English
houses, "on thc table by thc pepper box
mid tin; salt box is placed a sandbox
-a little receptacle tilled with very
lim; saud, as line as flour, which is
sprinkled over all the food. A medical
journal has advised dyspeptics to adopt
this remedy. The sand, mingling with
th?; alimentary mags, renders it less
compact and makes digestion mort;
easy. This has become the fashion,
and ?-.?nee the English have begun to
cat sand it is certain that French snobs
who imitate their neighbors across tho
channel like, monkeys will soon be. de
vouring it. Besides, gravel for diges
tive purposes has been in use by
ostriches for a long time." Discrimi
nating readers will take this sand story
witlt many grains (d' salt. Whatever
else the English contribution may re
quin; it tines not need sand. Everybody
is supposed to eat a peck or so of dirt
in the course of his or her life, anti un
successful politicians frequently have
to dino on crow, but sand as a daily
diet is not likely t ? ? become popular
among Anglo-Saxons until they de
velop chicken craws ns well as chicken
hearts, ol' which there seems just now
little indication.-Jlaltimorc Sun.
A French scientific journal calls at
tention to tht; fact that in many Eng
lish homes on the table by the side of
the pepper box is placed a sand box, a
little receptacle tilled with very tine
Rand which is sprinkled lightly over the
tooti.
This French authority says that tho
saud, mingling with the alimentary
mass, renders it less compact and diges
tion easier.
Several French and English medical
journals advise dyspeptics to try this
remedy.
There may be wisdom iu this coun
sel, but if there is tht; journals which
oller it are at least 10 years behind the
original advocate of sand as a cure for
dyspepsia. It has been fully that long
since Judge Logan E. Weekley pub
lished the. results of his experience with
sand as an aid to digestion. He stated
that he had found it, judiciously used,
tt> be ti perfect cure, for indigestion and
be prescribed very particular the man
ner in which it should be used.
Judge Bleckley, we believe, discover
? d the virtue of sand with food for
himself, and he seems to have been 10
years in advance of the wise English
men and Frenchmen who have only
recently added the sand box to their
table appendages.
We will not see Judge Bleckley rob
bed of any credit that justly belongs
to bim.-Atlanta Journal.
Nul a ("ned Anatomist.
The daughter of a Mississippian who
has Adopted Memphis as her home
tells the following story on her fath
er:
"Papa vas relating to the family
and some of his friends one day the
experience ho bad /.'one through in
having a tooth pulled. He said the
dentist pulled so bord that he pulled,
him clear out of his chair. I was
only a little girl at th? time, but I
mustered up courage to say, half mus
ingly:
" 'Well,.papa, that must have hurt
mighty bad.'
"'Well, I guess it did,' he replied.
'If you could have seen the t JVO roots
of that tooth that were wrapped
around my backbone, you would know
how it hurt without asking me.'
"I suppose ho meant jawbone, but
the laugh that followed was too loud
for me to hear the correction, and I
do uot know to this day where the
roots of that tooth had taken hold."
