"This matter Is distinctly up to thu

Is It that, flio big steamers of the

bold cases thu aimucr Is 'Thoy can gel

"Had they been assured of return
enrgoos, steamers nould havu been
running between here snd Han Pedro

sugar as Sprcrkols controls. The sug

If the lessee, or his backer, should

Js nothing to prevent this from being
