New Hospital Building at Cienfuegoi- MR. ELIAS PONVERT Mr. Elias Ponvert, President of the Hor- migiiero Central, died at Magnolia, Mass., early in August. Mr. Ponvert was in the seventy-eighth year of his age and was one ot the most prominent sugar planters in Cuba. Mr. Ponvert had resided with his family on the Hormiguero sugar estate, Cienfuegos, Cuba, since 1878, spending all of his time there for fourteen years. In 1892 he came to the United States and traveled extensively. He also spent much time in visiting places of interest in Europe. The Hormiguero estate in Cuba has been developed until it is now one of the largest in production and most successful of all the sugar estates in the Island of Cuba. During the Cuban insurrection of 1895 and 1898, the Hormiguero estate was one of the few sugar estates which was operating, and this estate was able to produce a full crop of sugar during every year of the Cuban insurrection. Mr. Elie L. Ponvert, son of the late Mr. Ponvert, will succeed him as president and manager of the large and influential estate. He is well qualified to undertake the adminis- tration of this great property, after thirty years of training and experience as superin- tendent of the Hormiguero sugar factory and assistant to the late Elias Ponvert.
