THE CUE A R E Y 1 E W 15 CUBAN IRON ORE SHIPMENTS I'ulian ore sliipnicnts were- niailc in I'.iM) liy three cuiiipanies, namely, the Jurayua Iron Company, the Spanish-.\merican Iron Company and the Ponnpo .Manganese Com- liany. The Juragua Company is controlled hy the Bethlehem Steel Company, which uses in its hlast furnaces at South Bethle- hem, Pa., virtually all the ore shipped an- nually h)- the Juragua Company. The Span- ish-.-\merican Company is controlled hy the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and the ore shipped to the United States annually is largely consumed hy the Pennsylvania Steel Company at its blast furnaces at Steelton and Lebanon, Pa., and by the Maryland Steel Company at its blast fur- naces at Sparrow Point, ^Md. The Ponupo Company sells its ore in the general mar- ket. It made its first iron ore shipments in 1909, the total amounting in that year to about 54,000 tons. The individual ship- ments by the three companies in 1910 have not yet been made public.—Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch. HORSE-RACING PROSPECTS A race-track will be built in Cuba during the coming" season, with Curley Brown and his confreres as the promoters. The con- cession that this party has obtained extends over a period of many years, and it is an- nounced that they will give a race mect- )!ig in Ha\'ana of at least six davs' dura- tion next winter. Hut in \iew of the fact that the legal tenure of racing with the betting adjunct ceases in b'lorida May 1, 1911, it would seem doubtful if sufficient horses could be secured to make such a meeting a prolitable investment. Racing in Cuba is by no means a new venture. It has been repeatedly tried, but always with the same ending. The rich men who stand sponsors for the sport have steadfastly refused to ship that far and the poor horsemen have not the means.— Scrantoniaii, Scran ton. Pa. RURAL GUARDS KILLED Rafael Morales, correspondent of the Ha- vana Daily Cuba, and Clemente Carrero, both conservatives, fought a group of rural guards April ISth at Yaguajay, Santa Ckira Province, and Lieutenant Rumbau and Cor- poral ^lontegudo were killed. Lieutenant Rumbau shot and killed Cap- tain Lavastida two years ago while being conducted under arrest and having tried to escape. The Lavastida shooting has always been most severely condemned by the con- servatives.—Xezv York Herald. Following the detention of twenty-one Haitians at Janco, Oriente Province, re- cently charged with being smuggled into Cuba, the government will round up all subjects of Haiti in the pro\'iiice and ship them liack to their natixe countr\-.
