Show - THE DROUTH IN CUBA. It Will Materially Affect the Sugar Crop-Many Crop-Many Cattle Dying. Havana, March 11. The drouth still prevails. Its etlects are most severely felt in the department of Santiago de Cuba. The small rivers are dried up and heavy losses in cattle are sustained, owing to the fact that it is impossible for the animals to get either food or water. The drought will materially interfere with the sugar crop, the yield of cane being much reduced through a lack of rain. The loss of cattle, too, will affect the crop, oxen for labor iu the fields being very scarce. |
