§ MR. OWEN PHILIPPSI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Governor of Jamaica, since his return to the island, has been able to advise him of any progress in the scheme for connecting the Government railways with all the wharves of Kingston; and whether he is aware that in the neighbouring island of Cuba the ports are being rapidly developed in connection with the railways.
§ COLONEL SEELYThe Governor has not yet reported as to the progress of the scheme referred to by my hon. friend, but I have no doubt that he will do so as soon as he can. I am sorry that I have no official information as to what is being done in Cuba.
