AFRAID OF SPAIN.
Philippines Would suffer II Restored to
the Spanish.


London, Aug. 22.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph, in
n dispatch dated Sunday, says:
Gen. Merritt has proclaimed gov
ernment of military occupation. The
news of the armistice arrived on the
10th. 1t is feared that the Americans
may restore the Philippines to Spain
anu thus re-inaugurate Il fresh period
of tyranny, extortion and rebellion.
The Spanish guarantees for freedom of
press and for just administration are
useless unless under foreign supervis-
ion.
"Thc Americans found SS00,0OO in
tne Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion Is louI In praise of
the action of the American command
crs in excluding armed rebels from the
city. There is good reason to believe
that their iirmness saved Manila from
pillagc.
"a week ago there appeared to he n
possibility of collision with the rebels
but there Is no danger now. Every
thing is quiet"

Japan and China are again having a
little difficulty, but 1t is probable that
China, in view of the result Of the late
war, will yield gracefully to the de-
mands of the island kingdom. 1t
seems that some Of the Chinese prov
inces have been having some anti
Japanese riots. and incidentally de-
stroying japanese property. japan de-
mands that decree be issued ordering
officials and people to respect foreign
property and life; that rioters and Of
ficials be punished; that Japan be paid
100000 taels for property damaged, and
that Japan be allowed to establish new
settlements. japanese papers contain
strong pro-American editorials and
express the hope that the United States
will hold the Philippines.

The marriage of Miss May c. Chamber lin and Felix B. Galindo took place at the residence of the brides parents, 676 Thir- ty-second street, Oakland, on the even- ing of June IA. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. M. D. Wilson of St Pe- ter's Church. San Francisco, and at its close he presented the bride with a lovely sister of the bride, and Miss Alice Wilson, daughter of the officiating clergyman, acted as bridesmaids. Joseph Galindo was best man. The house was beautifully many valuable gifts A delicious cola tion was served, after which the happy couple left on the last boat for San Fran cisco, and the following day for Napa Soda Springs, where the honeymoon will be spent.
 A charming wedding occurred on Wednesday evening, June g, at o'clock, in the Methodist church of Golden Gate, the contracting parties being Dr. J. B. Wood and Miss Uriel J. Pettigrew The ceremony was performed by Dr. Charles Edward Locke, pastor of Central Method ist Church of this city and brother-in-la W of the groom. The complete ritual service of the Methodist church was used, with all the impressive details.

 On last Saturday evening a very pleas ant party was rendered by Charles Skin rrer to his many friends at the Telegraph Hill Observatory, in honor of the eigh- teenth anniversary of ms birth. The hall was most beautifully decorated with evergreens and Japanese lanterns, and the stage in evergreens. Old Glory held the most conspicuous place in all the hall. The evenng was spent in dancing, singing and games. At Il o'clock the guests partook of a bountiful repast. after which dancing, singing and games were resumed.
 A reception was given on the 9th inst. to Miss Edith Potter at her residence, 1913 Fillmore street, in honor of her birthday.

dollars ton. The voyage may occupy anywhere between four and six months and even with the best of luck only one round trip can be made In year. con sequently working expenses have to De reduced in every possible way, and the smallest possible crew, consistent with safety, is carried. Even the Roanoke, enormous though her size be. carries only thirty all told and of these twenty two are foremast hands. Forty years ago a ship one-third her size would have carried at least double the num- Der of men.
 The decay of American shipping since the year 1860, when the trade reached it's highest level, is an oft told story. Every one knows how the southern cruisers swept the American clipper from the face of the sea, infilctlng blow from which the foreign going trade has never recovered. In 1859 67 per cent of the goods imported into this country were carried in American shlps, in 1897 the percentage had fallen to Il. That means that the United States was only able to carry in her own shlps about a tenth of the goods she re- quires from abroad, the balance of the carving trade with all it's profits, go- ing to foreigners.
 It is improbable that this state of affairs will continue much longer. There is every reason to hope for the future, and I am sure that the low water mark of the foreign shipping trade has been reached. It IS not merely the war which killed the Ameri- can mercantile marine: 1t was the uni- versal substitution of iron for wood as a shipbuilding material Naturally the ships needed by the world were built in the country which could manufac- ture iron most cheaply. England hap pened at the moment to be In the fore front in this business, and the result is that during the past forty years she has built up an enormous shipbuilding all the rest of the world combined. The British flag is to be found on every sea; she does most of the carrying trade of the world. and last year her total ton mage, steam and sail, reached an aggre- gate of 13,4s2.S76 tons. Against this
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-26

again find herself so helpless on the seas. Economic conditions have changed greatly since 1860 and Amer lea is now able to produce the steel required for shipbuilding quite as cheaply as England. Therefore there is no reason why she should not build her own vessels. San Francisco has already shown that she can turn out warships equal to any in the world, the Eastern shipyards are already de- veloping with vast strides and their work is sure to receive a great impe- tus owing to the increase in the navy which is bound to follow on the present war. The United States has assumed responsibilities which it cannot ignore; more merchant vessels will be required to trade with our newly acquired pos sessions, more men-of-War will be re- quired to protect them from foreign intrusion. And with shipyards every where in full swing, with steel at the lowest price, there is every hope that the mercantile marine of the country will soon be restored to it's former con- dition of prosperity.
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-26

the United States. which is second on the list, though a long way behind, could only show total of 2,326.83S tons. And as far as the foreign going trade is concerned the disparity is even greater than these figures indicate, for at least one half of the American ton mage is employed on the inland lakes and rivers. Germany comes third on the list, with 2,029,912 tons; then Nor way and France.
 The delay in the dispatch of the mili- tary expedition to the Philippines has given the people of San Francisco and the Union generally a forcible object lesson on the scarcity of American ton mage. With the best intentions in the world 1t has taken the authorities a month to get together vessels sufficient for the transportation of 1000 troops. And even though the foreign trade of the port has been paralyzed, and every steamer suitable for the work i'm pressed, enough American steamers could not be found. Steamship lines doing an extensive trade have been re- duced to mere skeletons, and to main- tain their services will be forced to charter foreign ships. The Peter Jeb- son, a Norwegian, is now on her way to Manila under the American flag having been bought outright by the navy. The Nero, formerly the British collier Wn1tgl1J, has also been trans ferred, the China has been taken from the Hawaiian flag, also the Zealandia, and at one time it was proposed to purchase the old Centennial from the Danish. There are plenty of other for eign vessels the department would be glad to get hold of, but technical diffl- culties bar the way. English vessels must be bought outright, not chartered because British law requires that be- fore ship can change her flag there must be a bona fide sale to & foreigner Then, to bring these ships on the American registry, special act of Con- gress Is required. Some vessels, such as the Empress of India cannot be ac- quired at all, because they belong to the British naval reserve and are sub sidized by that Government in order that they may be held in reserve as auxiliary cruisers in case of war. In other cases, such as the China steam CTS Belgic, Gaelic and Coptic, the Brit ish owners refused absolutely to sell and the Government Is powerless to get hold of these fine vessels, whose ser vices would be of inestimable value at the present moment.
 One thing Is certain, the present war will put an end to this condition of af- fairs and the United States will never
