Pay Your Delinquency.

In view of the better times, and higher
prices for grain ETC., the publisher ex-
poets those indebted to THE TRIBUNE
for subscription to make good their de-
linquencies at once. During the con-
tinued hard times and failures no effort
was made to force the collection of sub
scription accounts, but now that the con-
ditions have changed greatly for the bet
ter it is expected that these delinquencies
will be promptly paid up. Statements
will be sent out to all in arrears and with
the expectation that all will appreciate
our past indulgence and respond at once.

sician prevailed upon her to rest. She
tenderly clasped her husbands hand as
she watched him. Apparently he slept
q good deal; occasionally he uttered q
few words in an incoherent, dreamy
way, words. which those who were
watching were unable to catch. Their
only consolation was that he was not
suffering paln. No narcotics were ad-

VALUhnrE ISLANDS.
Statistics Prove the Immense Wealth Of the
Philippines.

The commerce OF Spain and her de-
tendencies is the subject OF a series of
interesting and exhaustive tables pre-
sented in the monthly summary OF
finance and commerce." just issued by
the bureau of sta tistics of the treasury
department. The tables, which pre-
sent the record of commerce of Spain,
are followed by those relating to her
colonies, among them being several
statements regarding the commerce OF
the Philippine islands, which are now
especially interesting. These show that
the exports of Spain to the Philippine
islands have increased from $S90,03S in
1857, to SI,9I2, ,5S3 in 1896. Her chief eN-
ports to the Philippines were cotton
fabrics, which alone amounted to
about two-thirds in value of her total
exports to those islands, the remainder
being made up of leather and its man.
ufactures. paper, preserved food, wine,
flour iron and steel, machinery and
numerous other articles of less impor-
tance. OF her imports from the Philip
pines over two-thirds were tobacco,
the remainder sugar, flaXseed, coffee,
cocoa, fruits, etc.
The commerce of the United States
with the Philippines is also presented
in special table, showing imports
1885, in 1898 to S4,3S3, .40 in 1897, the
from those islands ranging from So
most importantfof these being manila
and sugar. The exports OF the United
States to the Philippines ranged from
$l54,S1S in 1893 to $94,59I in 1897, includ-
ing mineral oils, breadstuffs. cotton
goods. chemicals, manufactures of
iron and steel, and other articles.

The Cost of War.

If the war continues for year it
will involve an expenditure of over
S4OO 900. 900. The appropriations already
made or estimated as necessary for
that period foot up $425. ZOO. 900.
The optimistic view that Spain will
sue for peace as soon as a naval battle
is won. and that the war will not last
a year is not shared by republican
leaders, who may be supposed to- reflect
the views of the administration. 1t is
said that even should peace be declared
in a month or six weeks the United
States Will have an expensive and
lengthy task before it in establishing
n stabls government in cuba and ef-
fecting the occupation and control OF
the Philippines.
