The Philippine: Islands.

According to the report to the
State department Of Consul Oscar
F. Williams, the Philippine islands
are a little empire in themselves.
His report contains the following
interesting information:
The area of the islands is estimated at
15O, 900 square miles with population
of 100000. They exceed BY 10 per
cent the area Of all the six New England
States, New York. New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland combined.
But the surprising statement is that
the great bulk of the trade Of the islands
il with the United States. Mr.. Williams
says there are twenty two consulates rep
resenting the leading commercial nations,
at Manila, but that the volume of the
export trade coming under bis official
supervision equals that of all the others
combined. He explains and gives details
Of the trade and notes its rapid increase.
Here are some samples: ITO day have
authenticated invoices for export to the
United States amounting to $138,OG6"
1.-THE exports amount to $1,0OO,OOO per
month" 1.-TWO huadred and sixteen
thousand bales of hemp were exported
during the past three months, of which
i36, 792 went to the United States, and
$4,000 to Great Britain and other coun-
tries" 1.-THE United States has 81 per
cent of the export trade against SO to all
other countries" The trade is growing
rapidly with our country and falling off
with other countries. Of the increase in
shipments the United States has 81 per
cent.
Fifty.fv per cent of Manila sugar is
shipped to the United States. One first
class railroad runs out of Manila.
By the last census Manila had 100, 900
natives, 81, 900 Chinese, 400 Spanish and
$50 Europeans other than Spanish. There
aie four steam lines to KoDk. kong and

Spanish Commander Fooled.

A dispatch to the New York
World from Manila, dated May IL,
via Hong Kong, May Is, says:
The Spanish gunboat Callao
steamed up the bay this morning.
She came from the southern islands,
where she had been stationed for
the last Is months. Her comman-
der did not know that war had been
declared and he had heard nothing
on his way up about the battle OF
Manila. He steamed straight for
Cavite, expecting to find the whole
Spanish fleet anchored there. He
arrived off Cavite at z O'Clock in
the morning with the Spanish flag
flying and signals for the admiral up.
The Olympia opened FIRE. The
Spanish commander supposed the
shots were for target practice and
turned to get out of range, but con-
tinued on. The Boston and Raleigh
joined the Olympia and shots were
throwing spray over the Spanish
vessels deck when her commander
began to realize that it was no joke
and pulled down his flag. He con-
tinued on, however, and the firing
was renewed.
Finally, he hove-to with a white
flag on his foremost and the Raleigh
steamed out to intercept him.
Lieutenant Pou went aboard the
Raleigh in a small boat and the
situation was explained to him.
Then he surrendered peacefully and
the Callao was brought to an an
chorage near the flagship.
The flag Of the United States was
hoisted on the Caliao and she was
added to Admiral Dewev's feet.
