OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.
They VIII Afford Americans Rlou-
dixie OppertunitIes

The speculative interests of the country
are becoming keenIy alive to the chances
for money making which might result
from the holding Of the American flag
over the island possessions of Spain. Great
changes in government always vitality af-
feet property values, and If the United
States instead of Spain is TO own these
tropical islands the speculators cannot
know it any too quickly, that they may
prepare to take advantage OF whatever
I goes with the new deal" Our system of
taxation, the substitution of import du-
( ties for export taxes, with free entry into
American markets, would materially In
crease the value of many of these tropi-
| cal products, and hence of the land upon
which they grow. Transportation com
panies will also have something to say
regarding these proposed changes The
absorption into our system OF the Span
Ism Islands would naturally increase enor-
mously the value of traffic between the
ana our own ports, and on every hand
lie klondike opportunities for the exten-
sion OF trade and making money.
AS soon as peace is restored there viii
De an active boom in Philippine interests
II any reason appears for believing that
those islands are to be permanently pos
sessed by the United States.
According to Mr.. John Foreman, an
English traveller who has recently re-
turned from the Philippines, a million
acres of fresh soil in those islands now
await only the cooperation Of the hus-
bandman and the capitalists to turn them
TO profitable account. He insists that
though the local laws there are reason
able enough, the want of a proper OBJ
servance of them operates unfavora bIy
to all but the clique of officeholders. He
believes that the simplification of legal
processes, the building of roads, and the
lessening of the taxes would regenerate
the Philippines. The story is probably
much the same in regard to Porto Rico
Annexation could not fail to make prop
erty more valuable and a safer invest

LITTLE ANNIE RYAN.
The Missing Child Reported to Have
Been Found tn Ohio.

Little Annie Ryan, the twelve-year-old
schoolgirl who so mysteriously dlsap-
peared last Tuesday. after coming home
from school at the noon recess. has been
heard from Her father. Mr.. John T.
Ryan. received a letter from a person,
who signs himself George W. Dickson,
living in New Haven. Huron county,
Chic. in which the writer states that the
little girl is at his house and is perfectly
safe. The letter also states that she was
found at Chicago Junction. a small sta
ton on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, about 200 miles east of Chicago. and
two miles north of New Haven, in the
same county
The writer says that the child was
wandering around the station and when
approached and asked where she had
come from and what she was doing.
there she replied that she was waiting
for her brother Mr.. Dickson said that
he had tried TO find the brother. but was
unsuccessful and that Annie would be
held till arrangements could be made to
take her home.
Mr.. Ryan said to The Times that he
thought this was q very mysterious case.
He said that he did not know this Mr..
Dickson, and could not tell whether the
letter was genuine or was meant to raise
false hopes. The brother the child spoke
of only adds more mystery to the case.
as the only son of the house is in the
Navy. and IS very likely at Santiago with
Commodore Schley- He was a clerk in
the city postofiice here, and when the
war broke out he secured a leave OF abb
sence 10 permit him to enter the Navy
and fight for his country. When he left
here he went to New York where he was
to enlist. and that was the last his parents
heard of him. Mr.. Ryan does not know
of anyone who was intimately acquainted
with the movements Of his daughter who
would take her on so long a journey.
Immediately on receipt Of the letter Mr..
Ryan dispatched a telegram to the ad
dress given. but this was returned to him
with the information that there was no
telegraph office in New Haven. The
family decided to sed letter to Mr.. Dick
son and another to the postmaster OF the
town.
Mrs. Ryan has not slept a night since
the disappearance Of her child She said
last night that she hardly knew whether
to feel pleased or not, as there is still
some doubt in her mind as to the gen.
uineness of the letter. The Ryans do not
expect to receive an answer to either OF
their letters until Monday. They think,
however, that they win hear from their
daughter before then.
