LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Associated
Press learns that the Philippine junta in
London received dispatch from Manila
yesterday announcing that matters there
are rapidly quieting down, and that the
friction between Aguinaldo and the Am-

According TO junta's advicea, the in
surgents for a time regarded General
Merit and General Anderson rs Mar
tinets, and feared they would adopt
harsh methods, like the Spaniards, to-
ward the Filipinos; but the insurgents
from the first have had the greatest con-
iidence in Admiral Dewey, whom they
regard as father and the most import
ant American at Manila.

Trade of the Philippines

The commercial Importance of the Phil
lppines as an American acquisition is en-
phasized by series of tables issued by the
national bureau of statistics. The tables
Issued convey an idea of the commercial
opportunities awaiting us in the countries
adjacent to the Philippines, and the value
of this field for Pacific coast traders and
manufacturers Is manifest. The significant
fact disclosed by these trade reports is the
increasing demand for the class of articles
produced in the United States. Taking this
territory adjacent to the Philippines-in-
Guiding China, British India and East In
dies. Japan, Corea, Hong Kong, Asiatic
Russia and Oceanica-the exports of the
United States are shown to have increased
from 27421,S31 in 1898 to $61 1921, 67S in 1897.
This commerce, however, is still less than
6 per cent Of the total imports of these coun-
tries, showing the vast field which awaits
producers and traders. The United States
must have more thar G per cent of the trade
of those countries. whose doors are now
open to the commerce Of the world. With the

available supply of breadstuffs is not ma
