THRILLING SCENE.
\ Great Demonstration Given the De-
parting Troops Of 1nlrd Expedition.

A Great Demonstration Given the De-
parting Troops Of 1nrd Expedition.
san Francisco, June 27--At 2:SO this
afternoon the third fleet OF vessels, carry
ing about 1000 soldiers and supplies to
reinforce Admiral Dewey al Manila sailed
out through the Golden Gate.
The scene on the transports was a
thrilling one; the men were perched in
the rigging like so many insects ana
hardkerchiefs and flags waved and tut-
tered from every portfolio and spar. AS
the vessels proceeded slowly down the
bay the noisy demonstrations of the peo-
pie on shore became more pronounced
and increased until the din was awful,
and added to the noise of whistles and
bells and the booming of many cannon
from the batteries at Fort Mason, the
farewell given the soldiers was no less
hearty than the welcome given them
when they first landed within San Fran
ciscos limits.
The expedition which left today is un-
der the command of General Macarthur,
who has made the steamer Indiana his
flagship. The City of Para, Ohio and
Morgan City were the other vessels to
sail with the Indiana. The steamer VAL
lencia was not ready for sea today and
will probabalS sail with the steamer
Newport Wednesday. General Merritt
and his staff will proceed to the Islands
in the Newport.
1t is said the transports which left here
today will be rushed through to the ISL
ands at top speed in order to have as
large a force as possible ready to receive
the opanlards should Manila be the ulti-
mate destination Of the Cadiz fleet.

ports ana exports having risen no less
than s. and 3 per cent respectively.
The table giving the total imports into
and exports from Japan by countries
shows that the imports from the United
States increased l.3A.S39 pounds against
% i& pounds increase from Great Brit
ain: 1895 pounds increase from British
India. igi5J pounds increase from Ger
many: SO 81 pounds Increase from China:
% - pounds Increase from Hong Kong;
and decrease OF 5405l pounds in the
Imports from France % will thus be
seen that the increase In imports from
the United States 10 Japan was greater
In 1897 than from any other country.
Discussing the gains made by the United
States OF imports into Japan the report
says:
The increase In the import OF raw cot
ton amounted to 81 ,94l tons. to the total
value Of eSS0279. From British India
comes the largest supply. namely, 1s0.-
$3.50 pounds; China was next with s5,-
$3.50 pounds then the United States
with i6,3Sj.097 pounds. French India sent
2lsl. 30 pounds. The United States shows
much the larger increase, owing TO the
fall In quotations for American cotton
caused by the. unusual largeness OF the
crop.
Pig iron imported amounted to $50 tons
more than 1886 and prices have Increased
TO a large extent, owing 10 heavier
frelghts. The United States appears for
the first time with a value OF E6,l3) as
against eS3,01 worth from Great Britain.
So far the shipments have been expert
mental. but il Is understood that large
quantities will arrive monthly in the
future, shipped in combination with cot
ton cargoes from Pensacola.
Rails have been imported very largely
but here Great Britain's share Is de-
creaslng while that Of the other countries
except France is increasing, and as recent
large contracts have been obtained, most
ly by the United States. il is probable
that 1895 will see a still less proportion OF
the trade In the hands OF British makers.
Nails from the United States have prac-
tically driven out OF the market those
from Germany and Belgium, but IN
suthceGcy OF packing has caused loss
on wire nails shipped overland by way OF
Pacific ports.
While the relative growth Of Japan's
imports from the United States shows a
very large increase in recent years, the
amount OF exports from Great Britain
has increased by larger total value, but
1t must be borne in mind that the Amer
lean invasion has only just commenced
that the ground has been prepared for
large extensions in the future and that
unless some unforeseen changes take place
the tendency will be toward encroach-
ment upon the trade hitherto belonging
to Great Britain.

New York, June 21-A Tribune special
from Washington says:
In view Of the frequency with which
rumors OF possible peace conditions are
entering into the discussion of semi
official and inspired European journals,
considerable significance Is attached to
the statement by member OF the cab
met that no proposition would De for a
moment entertained by the United states
az thus time which did not involve Spain's
absolute rrlnuuishment OF sovereignty
over cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands
The probable attitude of the United
States To these former colonial possess
slons ot Spain In the future this authority
declined to discuss but IN his opinion
the complete eradication of Spanish in
nuencs and interest, so far as these ISL
auds are concerned had already be-
come foregoue conclusion and the
United States would not at any time
hereafter permit Spain to enter into any
negotiations regarding them
Regarding the ultimate terms OF peace
which the United States may lind 1t nee
csslry to exact, in case the expensive
conflict Is prolonged many months, involv-
ing the necessity Of extended American
operations against the peninsula itself
or It's closer colonial establishments, only
the most indefinite discussion is now in
duleed In.
The irretrlevahle loss to the Spaniards
Of their last American foothold, as well
us Of their nl-governed establishment In
the Pacific, has been brought about by
the United States, devoid as It was Of any
desire for territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
any suggestion Of interference by the
friends of Spain as to the ultimate dis
position Of the West Indian Islands or the
Philippines Is sure to be ropelled by the
United States In the most uneQuivocal
and decisive manner

The United States possesses an island

II is known as Marcus of Weeks and

THE poPE,s ADVICE.

London, June 27-The Rome cores
pondent Of the Standard SAYS:
The pope, disqu!eted by Carllst rumors'
summoned one Of the leaders to Rome
incognlto, receiving him privately. The
latter assured the pope that the Carlists
had no intention of attacking the reign
ing dynasty, but were resolved to COM
bat any attempt to proclaim a republic.
The pope lately wrote the queen regent
advising her on no account to abdlcate,
because to do so would be to encourage
the enemies Of the dynasty.
