OUR INCREASING EXPORTS.

The invasion of foreign markets by
the manufacturers Of the country con-
tinues to increase. The figures Of the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics show
that the July exports of manufactures
were greater than in any July in the
history Of the country. and formed a
larger percentage OF the total exports
than in any preceding year or month
in it's history. The exports of manu-
factures for the month were $50, 9S3, 116
and formed 36.47 per cent. OF the total
exports No July has ever shown such
. record OF exports of manufactures,
and In no month or year have manufac-
lures formed so large percentage OF
the total exports. Compared with a
decade ago. the July exports of manu-
facturcs have doubled. and the percent
age which they form OF the total ex-
portatiops has also nearly doubled. In
July. 1883. the total exports of manu-
factures were but $l1, SOS, ,sOs or less than
haIf those OF July. 1898; while they
formed but 1927 per cent. OF the total
exports. against SsH per cent. in July,
1895.
The gain which the manufacturing
interests are making in the proportion
which they are obtaining OF the total
export trade is strongly marked. In
July. 1890. they supplied 24.s2 per cent.
OF the total exports; in July. 1894. 2sl6
per cent; in July. 1895. sLsS per cent;
in July. 1896, 80. 80 per cent; in July.
1897. 1878 per cent. and in July. 1898.
36.l7 per cent. Exports OF manufac-
lures in July. 1897. were double those of
. decade earlier. yet July. 1898. shows
an increase OF more than 10 per cent.
over July. 1897.
The increase OF export manufactures
extends to nearly all Of the important
industrial interests of the country. Ex-

that the boat could not be in regular COM

had never been thoroughly tested. Now
the boats owners propose that a naval
officer or officers be designated to go
down in the Holland and that she be
commissioned.
Notwithstanding the rather positive
statement coming from Jamaica that the
second Spanish fleet from Ca diz has
crossed the Atlantic and is abo ut to join
Cervera at Santiago, the officers of the
navy department refused to be frigh tened
at what they declare to be a bugaboo. 1t
appears that the basis of their confidence
is a telegraphlc report of as late a date as
yesterday, declaring that the Cadiz feet
is still at Cadiz. Moreover they know

Washington. June s.-A brief bulletin

the information the Navy Depa rtment
had to contribute to the press today.
This went to confirm the press dispatches
which told of the firing on the fortifica-
tions at Santiago. 1t appears from the
bulletin that Commodore Schley concen-
trated a pretty good fire upon the Spanish
defenses and it seems probable, that, had
he found conditions more propitious than
they were, he would have resolved the
reconnaissance into assault in force.

Monterey left the Mare Island navy yard
this afternoon for San Francisco. As the
vessel steamed away from the dock she
was greeted with cheers from hundreds

whistles in this vicinity saluted the vessel
as she passed down the bay.

the army engineers in this country to lay
just such mines as are supposed to be in
place IN Santiago harbor and they are
curious to see how their brothers in the
navy propose to go about the work of de-
stroylng them. A good deal has been
written In the text Books about counter
mining and many theories have been
brought forward to show this can be
done. But, on the authority Of one of

San Francisco, June 3.-The second ex-

get under way next Tuesday or Wednes-

first anticipated owing to the fact that
five vessels which were to have made up
the fleet of transports are not ready nor
will any of them be ready by the time
stated unless the government hurries the

of the vessels. So far no supplies have
been placed on board the China, the
