been carried on to mi ah nn oxtent that
Kiverty. fnmlne and widespread suitor
nif will surely prevail In the near fu

says that tho crops of this season have
1en prartlcnlly destroyed throughout
most of tliq island, the oane mills stor
tied, lirldges burned, roads torn up aim
btudtiese almost entirely killed fur the
time.
The lneltnble result of the conlinu
nnre of tho wnr, says tho writer, will
be a famine throughout the farming
district of Culm. Tho United States
lieing tho nearest imwerful neighbor of
the Ulnim.aiul Having always resiKiiuimi

naturally be looked to to furnish assist-pace.
