OUR NEW ISLANDS.
Philippine Exports to This Country Az
erage 81, 100000 a Month.


erage s1,O0O,OoO a Month.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-The undor'
standing at the state department Il
tnat Consul Oscar f. Williams, our
| representative at Manila until the
recent war began, is now aboard the
flagship Olympia in Manila harbor,
having accompanied Commodore
Dewey from Hong Kong, so that ad'
vices may come from him to the state
! department as we'll as from Comm o.
dore Dewey to the navy department.
A mail report from Consul Williams
reached the state department recently
under date of Manila, February %,
last. 1t gives full description of the
Philippine islands, their resources,
growth of American trade, etc, and
will be incorporated in the next vol
ume issued by the bureau of statistics
of the State department MIR. Will
Jams report says:
Local and European authorities
estimate the area of the Philippine
islands at $50, 900 square miles, and
their population at 100000.
1.-The island of Luzon, on which the
city of Manila is situated, is larger
than New York and Massachusetts,,
and has population of 5000, 900, and
the island of Mindanao is nearly, If
not quite, as large There are scores
of other islands Az idea of the ex-
tent of the population of the Philip
pines may be formed when it is
stated that the six New England
states and New York, New Jersey,
Maryland and Delaware have 10 per
cent less area and population.
He says the exports to this country
average 81 ,o0O,o 600 month.
Mr. Williams states that twenty-five
consulates, representing the leading
commercial countries of the world,
are established at Manila He adds
the surprising statement:
1.-THE volume of the export trade
coming under my official supervision
equals that of my twenty-one consul
lar colleagues combined
In another report, Mr. Williams
gives the railroad and ocean steam
ship facilities of the Philippines. The
main railroad from Manila is first
class, having steel rails, stone cul-
verts and English engines, which
make forty-fve miles an hour. There
are four steamship lines to Hong
Kong, and a monthly line from Manila
to Liverpool.
Besides these direct reports from
the United States consul, the state de-
partment also has n gazetteer pub
lished at Hong Kong, which gives
full account of conditions in the Phil
ippines. 1t shows that by the last
census the population Of Manila was
16O, 900 natives, $1,000 Chinese, 400
Spaniards and $50 Europeans other
than Spaniards. The town is made
up of low buildings, as the people are
in constant dread of earthquakes.
One of these commissions killed SOC
people, and the last one, in 1880,
wrecked most of the town. The
city proper is within walls, where the
government buildings are located.
There are six daily papers, three
banks, mint a chamber of commerce
and complete electric light and tele-
phone plants The Mexican dollar is
in general use.

Frenchmen Arc Angry.

LONDON, May THE Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
1.-The effect upon Paris of the seizure
of the steamer Lafayette is clear
enough. Already rather bitter feel
ing against the United States existed,
and this incident will certainly not
tend to diminish it. If it is demon
strated eventually that there was
nothing to justify the seizure, the
government may be expected to make
the very strongest kind of protest"

Spain fastening on Toward Grave
Crisis
LONDON, May THE Vienna corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
"All the reports that reach us from
trustworthy quarters in Madrid agree
that there is no doubt affairs in Spain
are hurrying rapidly toward a grave
crisis. Whatever exists, this appears:
The Carlists are increasing the diff
culties of the situation even to a
higher degree than the Republicans.
Not the slightest faith is attached to
the assurances of Don Carlos that he
is setting an example of quietness and
inactivity. On all hands it is thought
there that the next few days will
bring about events that may change
the entire situation in the Spanish
capital.

While it is quite true that the pro-

small, yet physicians are thoroughly
convinced that it causes maladies of a
fatal character, and begets dangerous
nervous prostration. This malady is
eradicated and prevented by Hostel

little advantage to himself or damage

A Definition.

The people OF the annexed district are
as a general thing fairly we'll satisfied
with the new conditions, but occasionally
an evil effect is noticed. For example,
one day this week pupil in one of the
grammar schools was asked to define the
word heifer. After considerable hesita-
ton, he came to the sage conclusion that
a heifer was a rooster. The surprising
thing about this incident is, that although h
the annexed district has been part of
Providence only four months, yet the
Sunset youth are already becoming so
imbued with city life as to actually for
get'all that pertains to the country and
farm lie 1t is truly sad to contemplate.

A Critical Time During the
Battle of Santiago.

SICK OR WELL. A RUSH NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the battle OF Santiago dc
Cuba were all Heroes. Their heroic
efforts in getting ammunition and ra-
tions to the front saved the day,
P. E. BUTLER, OF pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23d, says: all had dianhoea in more
or less violent form. and when we landed
we had no time 10 see a doctor. for 1t was
a case OF rush and rush night and
day, to keep the troops suprlied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, we were able to keep
at work and keep our health; in fact, 1
sincerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour of
our army, for if the packers had been un-
able to work there would have been no
way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa, and know in four cases
it actually saved life"

manufacturers OF this medicine. the Cham
