SPY FOOLS THE SPANIARDS.
Special Government Agent of United
States Sees Camara's Fleet
Depart.

Diplomats and military and naval
men are talking of little else now than
of the remarkable exploits of a United
States spy who was lionized in Madrid
and Cadiz, and even dined with Ad-
miral Camara before the now cele-
brated "Suez canal squadron" sailed
from Cadiz.
This spy. or confidential agent of
the United States government" was
West Pointer holding q commission as
captain of the Second Texan rangers.
His true name has not been disclosed.
In Madrid he was Fernandez Del
Campo. He arrived in Madrid seven
or eight weeks ago in the guise of .
wealthy Mexican gentleman. He hired
a suite Of rooms on the first floor in
the finest hotel of the Spanish capital
and was soon a great favorite in So
ciety. and was known. by reputation at
least, in every Madrid drawing-room.
Fernandez Del Campo spent a month
between Cadiz. the dock yards at Car
raca and the arsenal of San Fernando.
He stayed in Cadiz for day or two
after the departure of Camara's
squadron. He witnessed this event on
board one of the admiralty's launches.
One morning three Spanish gentle
men were walking up and down in
front of the Hotel de Paris as if they
were waiting for somebody. They
were detectives sent to arrest him. A
week later he was in Tangier speaking
remarkably good English for ''Mexi-
can"

WOULD WELCOME ANNEXATION
Revolutionary Party of Puerto Rico
Is Anxious to be Joined to
the United States.

Senor p. de Castro. one of the prom
inent members of the Puerto Rican
junta of New Yorkeity, when asked as
10 the attitude of the junta, said:
when the junta was organized we
were pledged to secure the indepen-
dence of the island. That was more
than two years ago. Such thing IS
annexation was not discussed, because
Spain was not at war with America.
Since this war, however, all our peo-
pie are with America. AT a meeting
on July 10, we decided to assist the
United States Internationally. The
majority of us are in favor of annexa-
tion. Any talk of the revolutionary
party of Puerto Rico resisting the in
vasion of Americans is nonsense. l
was at the meeting held July IL in New
York city and never heard any such
threat.
Il have grave doubts of our ability to
make n republic of Puerto Rico, mean
ing, as it does, an internal strife, but
annexation would be successful. The
majority of Puerto Ricans in this
country are heartily in favor of it.
There are some few against annexa-
ton, but none who would counsel re-
sistance TO it by force of arms"

A GRATIFYING SHOWING.
Latest Report Shows That Practically
All the States Have Supplied
Their Quota of Troops.

The war department feels that 1t
has reason to be gratified with the
results obtained under the first and
second calls for troops by the presi-
dent. The statement just issued shows
that practically all the states have
supplied the quotas called for in these
two calls. 1t is explained that the dis
crepancy between this statement and
the one published n week ago. which
caused so much criticism and put sew
eral states, including Massachusetts,,
Nebraska and North Carolina, in the
anenviable condition of having con-
tributed only small number of the
troops called for. was caused by the
fact that owing TO failures to make
prompt reports these states appeared

that Israel, in all cases, means England

years of plenty and at the beginning of
the seven years Of famine. He hauls in
the image of Nebuchadnezzar's vision

they have steadily gone on increasing
their exports so that the total exporta.

and more than % per cent in excess of

i.dS Dttil Il growth IN the
exports of manufactured articles during
the fiscal year. The usually large imports
of manufactures during the closing
months of the last fiscal year led to the
expectation that the expectation of man.
ufactures in the succeeding months would
be large. but an examination of the export
figures of the Bureau of Statistics month
by month during the year shows a steady
increase in the expectation of manufac-
lures instead of the reduction which was
expected to follow the absorption of the
immense volume of manufactured goods
which were in the country at the begin
ming of the fiscal year.
1t was also supposed for the same rea-
son that the imports of manufactures I'm

Non-committal as the speech of Lord

don, on Wednesday night, appears TO
be on a cursory reading, it has been ac-
cepted in Europe as a serios expression,
intended as a hint 10 Germany to keep
her hands off. When the Marquis said
that the United States was animated by
elevated humanity it is taken that he
meant to convey a strong idea of Brit
ish sympathy with us, extending to a
willingness to back our position. The
official German press is making strenu-
