Aug. A 1‘rarticnlly Fuexplored and Contain Over Forty Species of Hard Wood. Among the many sources of wealth existing iu Cuba not the least important is timber. “Cu ba,” said a prominent lumber merchant, “contains 17,000,000 acr s of virgin forest, iu which are to be found upward of 40 species of valuable hard woods. The lum bar industry, like, iudeed, most of the island’s resources, has been neglected under Spanish rule. These great forests are practically unexplored. They have certainly never been surveyed by experts, though they will be mines of wealth for the first lumberman who exploits their contents. As for the exports of wood, about 8220,000 a year, they represent a small fraction of the possible pro duct. The wood which comes to market in largest quantity from Cuba is cedar, which is wonder fully abundant in Piuar del Rio and the east. But the trade in cedar is badly managed. What with bad packing and general shiftlessness, more than half the wood is lost or useless before it reaches this country. “Other woods which we have been in the habit of getting from Cuba are mahogany and hngum vitae, both very plentiful. The common mahogany of the island is the best there is and sells in this country and Europe at from f 110 to $180 per 1,000 feet. Ar« other kind called figured or birds- eye fetches from “ iudeed, to sell aa high at fl^50* The Cuban lignum vitae, the fin est known, is much in demand, bringing from $25 to $40 a ton, the extra quality $45. And there are many other woods which would be valuable if only brought to market.—New York Sun. HOSTILITIES HAVE CEASED. AMERICAN WAR FORCES COM PLY WITH ORDERS.
