a delegation of Charleston business
men will leave this city about the lat
ter part Of this week for New York,
and on August 81 will sail on a steamer
leaving that port for Porto Rico. The
party will consist of four, or perhaps
five men. chosen from the various in
terests Of the city, and one Of the
number, Mr.. W. A. Merchant, will
represent the city at large. The other
members of the commission will be
Mr.. Walter Pripgle, Of Pringle Bros,

but the announcement of the actual
making up of the party to go is just
made public. The gentlemen named
will visit the principal ports of the
island of Porto Rico, and carefully OBJ
serve the conditions and needs Of the
places. They will find out what goods
are saleahle on the island, how the in
habitants have been accustomed to
make payments, aud what would be
the best port for the landing of steam
ers, should the repord of the commits
sion be so favorable as to cause the es-

to the island of Porto Rico. The men
who are interested in the journey of
the commission have both influence

opening of direct trade with the island.
If line is established, it will be done
on good scale. and the ships that
will sale from Charleston will be able
to accommodate passengers, as we'll as

have the assurances Of the South Car

The commission will make a
thorough canvass of the situation on
the island of Porto Rico, return as
soon as possible, and make full and
com mprehensive repor'. Mr.. Merchant,
while member Of the party is the
general representative of the city of
Charleston, will also act as interpreter,
and as he is thoroughly familiar with
the language of the island, his services
will be very valuable. and Cou-

Hard Luck of a Spanish Spy.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 2O.-Joseph
Castellanos, alias George Eduard
Vanderbilt, arrested in Tampa, Fla,
three months ago, as Spanish spy,
and since that time imprisoned at Fort
Mcpherson, was given his liberty to-
gether with three other suspects to.
day. The men quickly separated, and
"Vanderbilt, clad in the Cuban uni
form which he wore when arrested,
came to town. His reception here
was so demonstrative that he was soon
placed in the central police station
for safety, where his numerous wounds
were dressed. He took his departure
under cover of darkness.
On reaching Atlanta Vanderbilt was
recognized by crowd Of half-drunken
soldiers. They stopped him, but he
refused to be interviewed. The sol
diers decided to take him by force,
and Vanderbilt took to his heels.
This urged the soldiers on, and they
were joined by lot of citizens, who
pummelled the fleeing man freely and
let fly many stones and sticks. Van
derbilt ran into candy factory at the
corner Of Alabama and Pryor streets.
A large crowd collected about the
store, and when the little man appear
ed at the door with two officers, who
had been sent for, the cry of Span
ish spy!'' was set up and it did not
take the mob long to add the cries OF
"Kill him. s'Shoot him. ''Hang
him"
The noise served to bring others
into the procession, which swelled to
large proportions, and by the time
the police station was reached two
thousand people we're at the heels OF
the officers.
When the station was reached the
officers rushed the little fellow into
the guard house, and the great iron
gates were quickly closed to keep the
mob back. Officers ran to the front
doors and stood guard at them. .
"They turned me out this morning:
said Vanderbilt. excitedly, 'and |
am not Spanish spy, but an Amerl-
can citizen and Cuban general. See,
have the stars on my coat sleeves
to show my rank in the Cuban army.
Vanderbilt was bleeding from three
or four wounds on his face and throat.
One soldier had cut at him with a
knife and left bloody mark on his
forehead. Another had grabbed him
by the throat and left prints of fingers.
He claims to be relative Of Cornelius
Vanderbilt. and says his mother is at
present in New York.

ducts of the islands are those that are
common to all tropical countries, and
they are capable of being made of
much greater Importance commercially
than they have ever been under Span
ish rule.
The commercial Importance Of the
Philippines cannot be measured by
the scanty data obtainable. Spanish
civilization has never prevailed far
beyond the fortified coast cities held
by the Spanish garrisons, and even in
Luzon many Of the inhabitants are
practically savages.
The area of all the islands in the
group is about 1895 square miles,
and the population is variously esti-
mated at from seven to ten millions.
The annual revenues under Spanish
rule amounted to about s10,0O0,000
The annual exports from the islands
amount to about 10000, 900 and the
imports to about s1O,0OO,0O0. The
principal article of export from the
island is hemp which grows to greater
perfection there than in any other
place in the world. Tie other leading
products are coffee, copra and to-
bacco.
That gold exists in the Philippines
has long been known. Under the
stimulus of Anglo-Saxon enterprise
the deposits Of precious metals would
be developed, and the Philippines
would become an important contribu-
tor to the gold supply of the world

One Result Of the War.

The talk that 100000 worth of
ammunition was wasted in the naval
bombardment of the Santiago forts
and batteries is all bosh. Even if no
material damage was donc-and such
does not appear to have been the case
the moral effect of that lombard
ment was worth a high price. In ad-
dition to this we have learned that
strong coast dcfences are everything
that the name indicates, and this is
something that is most important for
the United States, with its extensive
coast line, to know. European threats
to lay waste our coast cities will here
after be laughed to scorn as a result
of Simpsons bombardment of San
tiago.-7roy Times.
