WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port Of Consul Kennedy Of Para to the
Bureau of Foreign Commerce OF the State
department presents a striking picture OF
the remarkable development Of the United
States trade with Brazil. Speaking par,
ticularly OF his own district he says there
has been a broad and steady expansion of
trade throughout the sttae of Para and the
Amazonas. He predicts that the city Of
Para will become the Chicago of South
America, situated as 1t Is near the mouth
of the great river Amazon and commanding
it's trade. The two lines Of steamers which
run between that city and New York are
increasing the number Of their ships and
are still entirely unable to carry the heav.
freight, although the service has been in
creased from one trip per month to three
trips, and it Is to be further increased
January 1 to one every week. In the other
direction the captain of every vessel coming
from New York reports that 1t Is impossible
for their steamers to clear the freight billed
for Para and the Amazon. The consul re.
grets that these goods cannot be hauled In
American ships. Speaking OF trade condi-
tions in detail he says most merchants re.
quire from ninety to $50 days credit and
Germans stand ready to meet all require
ments and competition. We furnish already
all the provisions to Brazil and our shoes
are securing quite q foothold. There is a
broad field for expansion In machinery, hard
ware and cutlery. The marked develop

WORK on SHERlDAN'S STATUE
sculptor ward In Making II His LIES
Work and IL Taking
Plenty of Time.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l1.-For several
years arrangements have been making for
the ~erection OF a statue of General Phil
Sheridan in this city, the statue to be the
gift of the Society Of the Army Of the Cum
berland. During the past three years j. Q.
A.. Ward, the American sculptor, has been
engaged upon the model of the statue. 1t
Is his expressed ambition to make 1t the
greatest work Of his life. and since he has
been working upon 1t he has put aside every
other commission. TO-. 81. ..
The officers OF the statue committee are
General Burnett Of Cleveland, chairman;
General IL. c.. Corbin, secretary; and Sec
rotary Of War Alger, treasurer. Not hav-
ing heard from Mr.. Ward for some time,
Mr.. Alger wrote him asking what progress
was being made. Today he received d re-
plv Of which the following is an extract: s
A year ago I had the large model we'll
advanced, but found that It would never sat
isfy me-that I should never be happy with
II. so / pulled 1t down and made new studies
entirely. These are now all completed and
I have made preparations for setting up the
large model again, which will not be
changed.
This report will no doubt shock you and
be n great disappointment to the society. l;
will be dif1cult for its members to under
stand how any sculptor should require so
many years for such a WORK. / did not my
self expect to occupy so much time with it,
but 1t has been an honest occupation Of my
time. for there has not been a month wasted
In idleness or devoted to other work. II
however, l can peacefully complete this
statue Of Sheridan and work happily on it
I shall not regret my sacrifice Of time and
money.

and clearly recognized destiny.

He will be governed not by personal desire.

NAVY NEEDS GOOD DOCKS
Chief Endicott Makes Some RecOm-
mendations In His Annual
.. Report ,,.-.'

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-1n his annual
REPORT to the secretary Of the navy Chief
Endicott of the Bureau Of Yards and Docks
makes q strong point Of the necessity for
ample docking facilities, not only for small
vessels, but for the battleships upon waters
near Key West. He said this place was
during the war, and may be in the future,
an important base OF naval operations, able
s~trategists having pronounced Key West and
Dry Tortugas the keys OF the Gulf Of
Mexico. The estimates submitted for the
next year provide for only one new dock,
which is to be OF the largest type, con-
structed Of granite and concrete and located
at the Norfolk navy yard.
Under the head of coaling stations the re-
port tells what has been done toward estab-
fishing such a station at Page Page. ON the
island OF Tutua, Samoa, showing that the
United States has acquired fifteen acres of
land at Swimming Point and Observatory
Point. and has contracted for a steel pier,
coal shed and other improvements necessary
to store 5000 tons OF coal and other supplies.
The report states that the United States
has come into possession of the port Of San
Juan Of a naval arsenal. founded in the year
OF 1900, containing a number Of substantial
concrete buildings and three good piers. The
total value of the buildings and a~rsenals and
grounds is about 800. 900, and 1t has been
erected into a United States naval station.
The estimates Of the various navy yards
for the next fiscal year are as follows:
Portsmouth, N. H.. 1906, o0Oa Boston, Mass,
$780,, 900; New London. Conn. so, 900; New
York, $6l2, 06O; League Island, Pa, $755.s7S;
Washington, DC. s205. 000: Norfolk, Va.

eco; Mare Island, $s5l,75o; Puget Sound,
500, 800. "rN iN '
Treating OF this last station, Puget Sound.
Chief Endicott says that II 1t be important
to equip a frst-class naval station In thai
vicinity a new site should be selected, for
the present has none of the desiderata Of a
good naval station. There is no nearby pop
ulation to draw upon for skilled labor. no
available market and no direct railroad con-
nec'ion with q trunk line. Under these con
ditions 1t is said to be doubtful II 1t be wise
: to build up q large station at this point.
! The report also comments upon the fac,
that no battleships or heavy draught cruiser
have yet approached the wharves at Mare
island, and says 1t remains to be demon
strated that this precise location as a navy
yard was q fortunate one. Attention II
called to the fact that the Oregon was com

protocol, declared positively that the change,
which was made at his instance, amounted
10 nothing, was Of no significance In En-
gAsh or as affecting the object aimed at
but was made merely because It sounded bet-
ter in Spanish and would not be humiliat-
Ing to the %Spaniards. Consequently the
American commissioners could not for an
instant think OF allowing the sincerity Of

into question. f~'
PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE clerical force Of
the American peace commission was busy
nearly all last night in translating the
Spanish memorandum presented at yester-
days joint session. While the translators
and typewriters we're rendering the Spanish
argument into printed English counsel for
the American commission studied 1t shee,
by sheet, making notes Of, records to be
examined and of law points bearing on the
matter in hand. AS q result, when the
Americans gathered for their session today
the Spanish presentment lay before them
in English, ready for consideration, and &C
companied by data bearing upon 1t.
No unofficial person knows the contents
OF the document presented by the Spanish
commissioners yesterday, but 1t is safe to
assume that, added to Its insistence on the
S0Si otioh - ~ u v eAN
Its proposition to arbitrate the construction
Of the third article Of the protocol, Spain
has made two other important statements:
cial probity it cannot allow any discussion
here of the validity Of its action in pledging
the resources Of the Philippines for the pay
ment of the Philippine debt.
, Second-That In connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain for
its pacific expenditures in the Philippines, 1t
cannot answer any inquiry as to how 1t has
spent the proceeds Of the loans based on
the Philippine pledges.
I What 1t Implies.
II Spain has assumed this attitude ana 1t
Is believed 1t has done so. 1t practically
compels the American commissioners 20
consider the assumption of the entire Phil
ippine debt by the United States as a con-
dition to SPANS amicable surrender Of It's
sovereignty over those islands. It is dii-
cult to understand how the Americans can
reply to this in any other manner than by
strictly outlining its position and giving the
Spaniards q time limit in which to accept
the propositions OF the United States. But
the American commissioners may patiently
continue their sndeavors to arrive at an
amicable understanding.
The Matin today In reviewing the history
Of the late war criticizes the American al
kaitude In regard to the Philippines and says
THAT Prince Bismarck on one occasion re-
marked that When you have your knee on
a nations neck you should make her cough
up all you can" adding, ut Is possible the
