WHEN MILES WAS IN EUROPE.
Something Which Germany Has Dis
covered Since Ills Visit 10 Berlin.

Today the name OF Gen. Miles Is
pretty well known this side the ocean,
but a year ago, when he visited Berlin
on his European tour. nobody here
knew anything OF the man. True his
card credited him with the rank of ma
jor- general in the American Of retired
ones. A major-ge general In Germany
forsooth? There are hundreds OF ma
jor r-generals here, besides small army
of retired ones. A major general IN
Germany usually commands a brigade
OF about six thousand and not even SO
small an army as the American then
was. There are numerous high ofilcers
ahead of him here. such as the lieuten-
ant-generals (of whom, too, the woods
are fulD. the commanding generals, the
field marshals and finally the commah
der-in-c chief, who is the Emperor L
mention all tins TO explain why the ar
rival of Gen. Miles in Berlin year ago
created no stir-not even at the Relchs-
hof hotel, where he stopped.
Miles didn't like this at all. He felt
his dignity ruffied, especially as he was
then on semi-official business for un-
Gle Sam He applied to the Embassy
here for aid and explanation. Both were
vouchsafed him cheerfully. A day OF

| Emperor on this occasion had Gen.
| Miles presented 10 him and spoke a few
pleasant words TO him. This was not
! quite what Miles had expected. as he
| had hoped for a special audience, but
! IL was as much as the Emperor was
| willing TO do for a mere major general
without "A special mission To him.
And then Gen. Miles and his aide

SHOES IN THE PHILIPPINES.

A consular report from the Philip
pines shows that Spain. under dis
eliminating duties, has practically
monopolized the boot and shoe trade of
the country, the annual imports from
all sources being about ss5.Ooo.
From pictures we have seen of the
Philippine islanders we should be led to
conclude that there is fine prospective
market for shoes over there. The
United States are the largest manu-
facturers of boots and shoes in the
world, and a few lessons in civilization
coupled with opportunities for assem-
bling a little cash, ought to give oui
boot and shoe men an unequailed op'
portunity. Just now. TO be sure, boots
and shoes would likely be as heavy q
drug in the Philippines AS fur coats
But with growing enlightenment the
famous Yankee SO shoe may be ex-
pected to find a good thing. American
ideas are bound to be literally initiated
In our new possessions, and that will
make the American tradesman's oppor-
tunity.

So much interest is felt in the colo
nial experiences Of other countries, and
especially when they relate to expert
ments In tropical regions, that re-
port on the German colonies in Africa
by the secretaries Of the British en-
bassy at Berlin, which has just been
received by the Treasury Bureau OF
Statistics, is especially timely.
The German colonies in Africa are To-
Gated from three TO twelve degrees
north and south of the equator. the cll=
matte conditions and products thus be-
ing sufficiently similar to those of Puer-
70 Rico, Cuba, Hawaii and the Philip
pines 10 lend especial interest to exper-
iments now in progress under the di-
rection of the German government as
detailed I'm the report.
It appears that the number OF resi-
dent Europeans I'm German Africa In
January, 1897. was 1913, OF whom 21s2
were Germans. The military force
consisted OF 962 German officers and
men, and about 2o50 colored soldiers.
besides the police force. The area OF
the German possessions i'm Africa is
given as s20e4s square miles. The ex-
pense to the home government was
estimated for 1889 at 46l. 900 pounds
sterling. and 1900 pounds sterling de-
felt. carried over from 1se5-e6. This
Is an increase of $1,000 pounds sterling
over the STATE subsidy granted last
year.
II will be seen from a comparison o
he area and the European population
fhat as yet the colonies are. like thos
u all other nations in the same lati
tudes. plantations and not settlemen
colonies. In this respect the year 1ss
is Of good augury for the future Of tn
colonies. From every quarter come
,vidence OF the remarkable progress q
the plantations. The success OF thes

suent foundation OF new companies
,ppears to be assured. Is due chief
10 the government experimental gar
dens which are conducted by traine

central botanical station In Berlin
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-09-29

From these stations seedlings are sup
piled TO European planters and TO ma
tive chiefs. There is every reason to
suppose that the products of the colon
les will rapidly increase.
As 10 another and more important
side 10 the colonial questionable pos
sibinty of establishing settlements of
German farmers-the answer is not as
yet so decisively In the affirmative. IL
appears proved that in one district of
900 or 400 European families could sup
port themselves by farming, in a
healthy and temperate climate, and
under conditions not unlike those ex-
listing i'm Germany. In addition TO this
district there is large territory, where.
in the opinion OF the governor, II VIII
be possible to establish large agricul-
tural settlements of European farmers.
The relations of the governments
with the natives have been on the
whole good. The labor question appears
10 be solved in East Africa, where
tribes have been found willing and able
TO work. The statistics of trade in the
African colonies are as follows: Total
imports. 1,111,OOo pounds sterling: total
exports, 547, 1lS pounds sterling of this
AZ per cent. is with Germany Great
Britain and her possessions have a
large share in the trade OF the German
colonies. Almost all of the exports of
Southwest Africa went TO England,
and a quarter OF the imports came
from British territory. Nearly half the
goods imported into East Africa came
from India. and the greater part of the
| exports went TO Zanzibar, for trans
| shipment.
1t will be seen by an examination OF
| the figures that the German colonies
are still in the condition of an invest
| ment which is not yet paying full in
| terest. This is due to the large sums
now being expended on the plantations
in which the trees have not yet begur
TO bear. IL will be necessary TO wal
some years before a final Judgment II

| iment.
