nounced that the Polaria, the Ham
burg American liner at Key West
which was authorized to land certain
passengers in Havana, had declined to
avail herself of the privilege, so that
the department is relieved of what
promised to be an embarrassing Incl
dent, and Of the necessity of establish
ing what might prove to be danger
Gus precedent.
The department published in the
shape Of Consular reports to-day some
statistics from United States Consul
Williams at Manila They show that
last year out of 322 vessels of all kinds
departing from the Philippines, twenty
two were from the United States, 1870
from Great Britain, twenty-nine from
Germany and forty-seven from Spain.
The arrivals were in about the same
proportion Mr.. Williams, whose report
is dated April ID, shows most -four

the receipts Of February last exceeding
by $GI94S the receipts Of the CORE
spending month of 1897.
Officials here dismiss as pure inven-
ton the story coming from Montreal
that former Minister Polo has secured
for Spain a coaling station on one of
the French islands of ST. Pierre and
Miquelon, off the Newfoundland coast.
At the French Embassy the report is
treated with indignant contempt as
the French decree Of neutrality is bind
ing on the French Governor of these
islands, and effectually prevents the
granting of such exceptional privileges
as coaling stations. It is not general
~ known that France possesses these
small islands in the North Atlantic
When the French gave up Canada and
Newfoundland to the British, it was
provided in the treaty of Utrecht that
France should retain the two islands of
st. Pierre and Miquelon, which have
since been utilized as coaling stations
for French steamers.
