In the hope of getting coni- Cuba pet cut farmers to settle in IVauts Cuba, who will become per- Fannrrs manent residents of the country and not leave after they have made their "pile," the Cuban government is considering a scheme of bringing about 200 families from the Ca nary Islands and other Spanish possession~ to Cuba and donating farms to them. The plan is to pay transportation oi' these men, furnish them with farms ol from 10 to 20 acres, tinance tiiem until they become self-supporting, and linally tn tax them a small amount annually until they have paid back the money that the government has actually spent on them. Xo sui":h inducements are held out to American farmers because they show no disposition to become Cuban citizens. The government is preparing an elaborate plan of national irrigation and a gigantic rec- lamation work on lands tiiat are overflowed every year. Messrs. Foyo, Calzada and Arango have gone to Europe, commissioned by the government to open an Immigration Bu- reau, the lirst of its kind established by the Cuban government, in the city of Corunna, Spain.

With the Stars and Stripes floating over Morro Castle and the assur- ance that it was there to stay, Cuba would quickly be invaded by tens and hundreds of thousands of intelligent, thrifty Amer- icans of enterprise and of means, and her development would be of magical ;.
