Mexico City .Tun. 4. It is stated that
Colli I'. Huntington has u corps of en-
gineers in the field milking preliminary
surveys for a railway from the port of
Alvurado south to Vera Cruz to the
port of Salina Cruz on the l'ucilic coast
and that if ho can secure nn advantage-
ous route he will ask the government fo.'
u concession for the purpose of operating
the line in connection with the Pacific
Mail steamers thus doing away with the
present Puiimna route entirely. Alvura-
do is nn excellent port which can be
made available for the largest vessels ut
u cost of $11000000 or $4000000. . It is
a genuine port while Vera Cruz is only
u roadstead und nt one time it wus pro-
posed tout the railways running to Vera
Cruz be transferred to the new terminus
ut Alvurado which could be made an
alfsoltitely secure p'ort. President Dinz
who visited Alvurado a year ago pro-
nounced it the seat of the future New
York of the tropics.
There is much complaint that the Pa-
cific Mail gives poor service on the l'u-
cilic coast of this republic.

CONGRESSMAN ROBINSON.
Ht
Has Just Returned From Cuba and
and Tells What He Saw There.
Greensbiirg Pit. Jan. 4. Congressman-elect
Robinson who has just re-
ti'imied from Cuba snys:
"It is impossible to get reliable news
direct from Culm on account of the cen-
sorship exercised in the matter of even
private letters. The cause for which the
Cubans nre struggling is the same our
fathers fought for in our war for inde-
pendence. The Cubans have no voice in
their government nnd there is no such
thing as n jury trial there.
"Taxation is unbearable. In 1804 $40-
000(100 was wrung from the unfortunate
Cubans and carried to Spain. The far-
mers and people are uniihle to stand the
strain hence the rebellion. When the
present revolution broke out Cuba wus
taxed to support an army of 11000 men
when in fact there were less than 4000.
In the entire island there is not a Cuban
or foreigner except the Spaniards who
are mo in sjmputny witn the revolution-
ary movement.
"The cities are under control of the
Spanish but the whole country is uti-
der the control of tl;c Cubans.
