BRITISH PRODUCTS
American Imports Show a Decided
Falling Off

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Importations
OF manufactures from Great Britain into
the United States seems likely to show an
unusually small total in the year 1898.
The November statements of exports from
Great Britain to the United States. which
has just reached the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics, shows in nearly every case that
the expectation of manufactures in thc
eleven months ended November 30 were less
than in the corresponding months ofearlier
years. Imports of manufactures in the
early part of the year 1897 were abnorm-
ally great and comparison of the eleven
months of 1898, with the corresponding
months of 1897, would in many cases be
misleading. A comparison, however, with
the corresponding months of 1896 and 1894
show in nearly all cases smaller imports in
1893 than in either of the earlier years. The
imports of the eleven months of 1898 were
the smallest, with single exception since
1890, and those of 1893 were less than in the
three years which preceded it, In nearly
all classes OF manufactured articles the
figures of the eleven months of 1893 show
reduction as compared with 1896 and 1903,
and very large reduction as compared with
the eleven months of 1898 were 95. .287, 300
yards, against l43 .9S4, 300 in the correspond
ing months of 1897; in wooden yarns the
drop was from $1,000 pounds in 1897 to
$500 in 1898; in worsted parn, from 674.30l
pounds in eleven months of 1897, to 102, 300
in 1898; in wooden tissues, from S,046, 100
yards in eleven months of 1897, to 1,478,3 300
in eleven months of 1898, and in worsted It's
sues, from 40,667. 700 yards in eleven months
Of 1897, to 12.706 400 in the corresponding
months in 1898.

ASSISTANT WOODWARD
Pleased With the Progress Making at
Paris

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-B. D. Woodward
the Assistant Commissioner-General of the
United States to the Paris Exposition of
1900, arrived in this city today on the Amer
lean liner st. Louis. He said:
Il have been called over to participate in
the permanent organization of the Com
missioner-Generals working staff and to
familiarize myself with the general plan and
scope of procedure in the future, in order
that, upon my return, the Paris end will

GOODBYE TO HoBsoN
The Santiago Hero Has Sailed for

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-Lieutenant
Richmond Pearson Hobson, sailed for the
Philippines today on the steamer Gaelic.
Lieutenant Hobson will report to Admiral
Dewey upon his arrival and will undertake
the, work of raising and preparing for service
sells of Admiral Montejo, which suffered so
severely from the attack of Admiral Dewey's
squadron.
An immense crowd of people gathered at
the dock to witness the departure Hobson's
carriage had great difficulty in getting
through the throngs of people, who simply
would not let him pass in quet. Cheers
upon cheers We're given for him and he was
compelled at several points to say few
words to the people. Escorted by number
of friends, Hobson finally managed to reach
the vessels side, and as he emerged from
the carriage the cheers We're renewed. Cries

they became so frequent and prolonged that
Hobson was again compelled to speak to the
people. His remarks could hardly be heard.

him. lie told of his sorrow at having to
leave his own chosen country but spoke in
glowing anticipation of the work which re.
quired his presence in the Philippines and
expressed his gratitude to the people for
the honors showered upon him. When the
vessel got under way all the steam whistles
on the water front were given full play and
the noise was terrific. The vessels in the
harbor were decorated for the occasion and
flags were dipped in Hobsons honor as the
Gaelic passed up the harbor to the Golden
Gate.
public reception was held at Golden
Gate Park in the morning, and Lieutenant
Hobson addressed the people from the ped
estal of the Francis Scott Key monument.
A fine band discoursed patriotic airs. After
the open-air reception Lieutenant Hobson
and his party visited the rooms of the Young

SAMPSON FEARS TROUBLE
Growing Out of Spain's Attempts to
ALLEVIATE Public Property-Some
Questions of Finance
lssociated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The World pub
fishes the following interview with Real
Admiral Sampson regarding the work of the
Cuban Evacuation Commission, of which h,
was a member:
"lts work is practically complete" he
said. eve have reached satisfactory
agreement upon all points except one which
l confess, is likely to lead to renewal of hos
tiities. The commission was carefully in
structed by the government to obtain q
complete inventory of every piece of crown
property upon which just claim could be
laid. This was to extend to every province
Not foot of land that formerly belonged
to Spain was to be overlooked. We had oul
own source of information and Immediately
on arrival took occasion to secure the orig
inals OF authentic copies of certain records
When, however, we asked the Spanish rep
inventory, we were told that it had been
carefully made and sent to the Peace Com
mission at Paris. We demanded a copy
which no doubt the Spaniards could easily
have furnished. We waited two weeks but
never received it. There is every reason to
believe that the Spaniards had instructions
from Madrid not to give it to us. This
was an act of bad faith. Trouble is sure
to arise sooner or later out of this matter
but the United States will never bulge
un inch"
'In what way did they attempt to hide
the existence of the crown propertyw was
asked.
Much of it and many of the buildings
have been secretly transferred to private in
dividuals and corporations, especially re-
lgious corporations. This undcrhand work
began some time ago. Such sales are not
valid in law or equity. The same rule will
hold regarding all the transfers of Spanish
government buildings to second parties"
"What were the facts at Santiago" he was
then asked.
"They were very different from the repre-
sentations made at the time of the surren-
der" replied the Rear Admiral
"For example, General Wood was told
that the Spanish government owned no
property in Santiago except the Naval Hos
pital. It was asserted that all the other
government buildings, even the Custom
House, and the palace of the Governor of
dividuals. This was untrue. The attempt
to swindle the Cubans out of their Just
rights was too fiimsy to be overlooked by
the United States as the custodians CT their
interests. The commission is in possession
of most Of the original records, and no fear
need be felt that trickery OF this kind will
succeed"
A committee of Cubans this morning
called on General Wade, the president Of
the American Evacuation Commission, and
inquired if the commissioners would object
to Cuban troops coming to Vedado today.
General Wade replied:
perhaps it is better that armed Cubans
should not assemble on parade. As the city
will be under the command of General
Brooke beginning on January it will be
better to consult him."
General Wade in effect politely told the
Cubans to keep the troops out of the city.

expended by them contrary to law, and
also to bring suit against the members of
the board of supervisors to recover the ag-

inasmuch as the supervisors are RESPONSE

United States currency is in circulation, but

United States currency is in circulation, but
it is in bills in denominations of $5 and up
wards, as these are large enough to com
mand the regular exchange, which varies
from " to per cent One dollar and two
dollar bills, where they are taken, pass
merely as the equivalents of the Spanish
pesos or silver dollars.
The small shopkeepers and the labor popu.
lation are still ignorant of the value of Am
erican silver coins. In the cafes they are
distrusted and the cab men will not accept
them. When large payments have been
made to the soldiers this silver is certain
to be forced into circulation, but the rela-
tion it will bear to the Spanish coins is
puzzle Though very large amounts of sill.
yer have been taken back to Spain by the
officers and the officials. the fear that no
silver would be left in Cuba has not been
realized. At present, value is rising. due
to further depletion by the departing Span
iards, but enough remains to answer Che pur-
pose of business and to add to the complex
problems which must be solved by the

cADDIEs IN PORTUGAL

Few persons would expect to find golf
taking root in Portugal, but now the
majority of the British population at
Oporto play, and are sufficiently bitten
with the fever to spend many of their off
days on the links at Espinho. At about
fourteen years of age the boys are
drafted off to the sardine fisheries in the
boats their fathers belong to, and until
then are employed on the links as cad
dies; and excellent little caddles they
make too, being quick and intelligent,
always gcod-humored, and possessed of
such keen eyesight that lost ball
is almost unheard of, except in the win
ter season, when the burn is in flood.
They pride themselves on knowing the
name of every club in English, and take
keen interest in the game. Not long

A REFRACTORY ROYAL PATIENT.
King Humbert's delight in the most
fatiguing exercises, and his absolute
disregard as to the weather, which he
never allows to interfere with any plans
that he may / ave made, give his doctors
some anxiety. There is good story of
the late DIR. Saglione, who died recent
ly, and in whom the King has lost a
most devoted servant and friend Sa-
glione rarely left his royal masters
side, whether the King was chasing
chamois in the SHOWS of the Alps, hunt
ing wild boar at Castel Eusano, or
during the great and firing reviews on
the plains Of Lombardy. A chronic
cough that the King had contracted,
owing to constant exposure to all kinds
of weather, drove Saglione to despair,
for his Majesty absolutely refused to
take any remedies One evening the
King seemed inclined to follow his
doctors advice, however, and Saglione
| accordingly sent to his room some pow
ders to be taken during the night. Early
the next morning he went to inquire
after his patient. The King told him
that he was much better; I might
almost say quite WE'LL" "Your Majesty
now believes in my powders" Saglione
said, triumphantly. Excellent" re-
piled the King, laughing; Just go and
