With sentences totalling 2U0 years in prison hanging over his head and 230 troops and rural guards at his heels, Ramon Arroyito, Cuba's modern Jesse .James, is still at large. His latest feat of escaping from the jail at Matanzns through a hole blown tn the thick walls at mid day has again made him a popular hero and added to the difficulties of the authorities, for they claim nobody will hclup them follow his trail. Arroyrto took to the high roa i about three years ago and, if the Holdups, kidnappings and other unlawful acts attributed to him are well founded, he operated in every part of the island before he went into retirement after two years of hectic endeavor and with a fortune variously estimated at from $50,000 to $200, 000. But last spring, while very pro saically travelling from Matanzas to a nearby village to attend a cock fight, he was captured by two rural guards, acting as train escort, who held him first for carrying arms without a license, but loaded him with chains when they discovered he was the notorious outlaw.

While boir.? tried and convicted or. numerous counts, he perfected his plans for breaking loose from jail and only the accidental presence of a j mounted policeman on the harbor side of the jail prevented a clean getaway three months ago. His escape from the Matanzas jai\ where he was lodged last week to await trial for kidnapping, is credited to a former pal, Julio Ramirez, whom Arrovito once rescued from jail at Jaruco by holding up the warden and turnkeys singled handed in broad daylight.

Chief Hawaii Crop niJ Honolulu, T. It.. Dec. 12.?The posita nihility that pineapples shortly may ,a] challenge the ancient supremacy of sugar cane as Hawaii's premier crop a]_ is seen in the announcement that the ISf :sland's gross income this year from ve pineapples will be about $22,000,000 )r. as compared with the sugar crop value of $51,500,000.

There is no need, however, to a< use either Britain or Japan < ,reachery. The renewal of the all ince comes about automatically, fc he simple reason that France, at th noment of its expiration, has not y< atified the Washington four-powe 'acific treaty.
