SPANISH TRADE.
Conditions in Eastern Part of COun-
try Improve and Promise Well
for American Interests.

An encouraging sign for the future
as far as prospects OF continued peace
are concerned is the report 10 the state
department from United States Con-
sular Agent Mertens, at Grao on trade
conditions in eastern Spain. He says
that commercial affairs are in a more
promising condition, business activity is
noticeable and confidence seems TO be
restored. \ signal fact noted by the
consular agent is the abolition by the
Spanish government of the war tax of
two and one-half per cent. on exports.
The effect of that tax was only to ham,
per trade, without special benefit TO the
treasury.
The returns of exports for Septem-
Der indicated this greater activity and,
as the export tax is collected on these
goods, hope for improvement in the
shipping trade during the coming sea-
son is well founded. Heavy shipments
of Spanish onions are reported, includ-
ing 10000 crates, and as these are
packed entirely for the American
market Mr.. Mertens says it is pity
that they could not be shipped direct, as
the transshipments by England must
have increased the cost of this vegeta-
BILE. He sees n large opening for Amer
lean exports in Spain again, particular
~ tobacco, petroleum and slaves.

Brig. Gen. Whittier, Collector OF
Customs at Manila, Makes an EN-
tended Report Of His OBJ
servatiOns.

Charles a. Whittier, brigadier general
Ct volunteers, now collector of customs
at Manila, under date of September 10,
last, has submitted a report of his OBJ
servations upon the condition of things
in Manila and the Philippine islands,
and suggestions as TO methods 10 be
pursued pending any permanent occu-
patton Of the country which may be de
cided upon. He says
THE most important questions are
the currency, revenue Gncluding the
Cedula or head tax opium and the adj
mission of Chinese. These are very
grave questions and cannot Ire decided
under brief consideration.
Manila, of course, is a very small
portion Of the Philippine islands or
even of Luzon. No one who has not
gone beyond the limits of the town can
have any idea of the wealth, fertility
and resources of the country. 1t has
happened TO me to be the only officer
(save one companion of mine) who has
made any investigation of even the add
lacent territory. On Saturday, Septem-
-
Manic railway, 1913 miles in length,
running northward from Manila to
Dagupan. The line has opened and
developed a country of most eXtraor-
linary fertility. Rice is the principal
product; much sugar, small amount
Of indigo on the northern part of the
line; possibilities of cotton, coffee and
almost anything. have never seen a
country of such splendid productive
power.
THE inhabitants are unique; the ma
tives clean and clever, the Chinese
more active and persevering; all beasts
Ct burden, accustomed to little in the
way of pay or food or shelter. Wepay
a house servant, who works most salts
factorily, SO a month, equaling $40
of our money; he furnishes his own
food.
The custom house receipts during
our incumbency, "a working days,
amount to $780, 600. With the increase
cf industries, contingent upon our oc-
cupancy, they should amount within
two years to SS,OOO,OO a year at least.
Mining explorations and ventures
promise very well, especially in coal and
iron. Capital may be profitably eX-
pended in theopening Of banks, cotton
mills, paper mills ice factories, brewer
les, inter-island shipping and trade.
"Few of our people consider that al
Of the customs here are radically diff
ferent from those Of the United States

tons of two centuries in two weeks.

prefer rice and opium to pie and baked

The white winged angel Of peace

spirit of war permeates the very
atmosphere that nothing will
check. Never before in the histo.
ry Of the government have the peo.
pie been SO unanimous in favor of
forcing hostilities with a, foreign
nation, When the war Of 1912 oc-
Cured there was a strong anti-war
sentiment, and when tho rupture
between America and Great Brit

was a question: iftthe administra.

American people, not mere ques.
tion of dollars and cents. II they
had been moved by questions Of
trade and commerce they would
have long since found justification
for Intervention and long since
have intervened, for the war has

tween the United States and Cuba

ish and property interests the
American people have not felt
called upon to intervene. 1t is to
save life, out Of regard for the we'll.
being and happiness Of our fellow
men, from purpose to alleviate
the sufferings in Cuba, to save the
helpless in Cuba from the contin.
ued scourge of war and famine that
now stalks over the island that the
American people purpose to inter.
vene. 1t is a high and worthy
purpose, purpose that should be
commended everywhere, a purpose
that should be disapproved by no
Christian man, whether prince or
peasant.
