Ant,yerp IN Ivory MARKET

Antwerp recently has become the
principal ivory market of the world.
1t has surpassed Liverpool for nearly
two years in the amount Of imports.
This change of centre is due to the
fact that, while ali the tusks from cen
trail tropical Africa were formerly car
ried to Zanzibar and thence to Bonn
bay and Liverpool, a large part Of the
trade has now been diverted down the
Congo to the Belgian steamers, and
they land the product at Antwerp.

DEWEY WANTS TO KNOW.
Report That Ha tailed on the 0srmnn Ad'

Regarding HostiIitlea.

New York. July 2o.--A dispatch from
Manila July "A. by way Of Hong Kong
China. says: Admiral Dewey sent a
messenger to the German admiral re-
Gently to inquire whether America and
Germany are at peace or at war. II
they are at peace he demanded that
the German wsrships here pursue Q
different course. If they are at war
he wanted to know it so he could gov
ern himself accordingly. Admiral
Dewey WAS prompted to send this per-
emptory message by the action OF the
German cruiser Irene In preventing an
insurgent attack upon the Spanish
garrison at Subic bay. which greatly
displeased him Admiral Won Died.
erichs In command of the German
feet in the Pacific returned verbal
answer which was apologetic in tone
and satisfactory. But afterward he
sent TO Admiral Dewey note
stating that he objected TO the
Americans stopping German ships
which have been in the bay once and
been visited The German ships have
made practice OF coming into Ma.
Mia and then making trips outside
the bay, cruising among the islands
and returning In two or three days.
The German contention Is that a ship
should not be stopped after the first
time. Admiral Dewey replied that
Manila is blockaded port and that
he would continue to have all ships
communicated with when he desired
whether on the first or on the hun.
dredth time OF entering the bay.
Gen. Aguinaldo the insurgent chief,
has established headquarters at l'akor.
lie still has headquarters at Cavite,
but Is not expected to occupy them.
The insurgents continue to maintain
their lines about Manila, but make
no attempt to capture the city
The report that they intended to
attack Manila Sunday, July 10, was
false. There is a little firing every
night, but no general engagement
The Americans are active in drilling.
There has been no movement toward
