Consul williams Says Ours Exceeds That
Of All Other Countries.
A mail report from Consul williams
reached the state department at Albany
recently under date Of Manila, Feb. 80
last. 1t gives full description of the
Philippine islands, their resources,
growth of American trade, etc.. and
will be incorporated in the next volume
issued by the bureau Of statistics of the
state department. Mr.. Williams re-
port says:
"The trade Of the Philippines with
the United States exceeds that Of all
other countries combined and is grow
ing at remarkable rate. Today have
authenticated invoices for export to the
United States amounting to $l38. 066. :"
He says the exports to the United States
average 81, 900, 900 month. The report
states that 2l6, 600 bales of hemp were
exported during the last three months.
OF these 1873, 792 went to the United
States and rs, 600 to Great Britain and
other countries. Mr.. Williams shows
from this that the United States has 64
per cent of the export trade from the
Philippines. as against SO per cent for
Great Britain and other countries. He
says that last year the increase of ship
ments to the United States was 1873, 900
bales and the decrease to Great Britain
$4,000 bales. He adds, "Of increased
shipments from the Philippines those
of the United States were 81 per cent

wives the fact Of previous encounter
with Spain in which he did not como
out first and causes the comment that
he probably enjoyed settling personal
SCORE along the line Of duty to his coun.
try. Love, not war, was the source Of
the original trouble.
The devotion Of Commodore Dewey
to Miss Virginia Lowery. the handsome
daughter Of Archibald Lowery, one of
the most prominent and wealthy of the
exclusive residential" set in Washing
ton, is we'll known here. Miss Lowery
was beautiful and woman of definite
views as to what would make up her
happiness. When very young, she be-
came engaged to dashing. impecunious
secretary of the Spanish legation, Count
Jack Brunetti.
Her father refused TO sanction the af
fair but, declining all other offers. even
that Of the present hero of the hour,
Miss Lowery kept during 20 years her
plighted troth. Three seasons ago. how
ever, with the consent of her father, she
became the wife of Duke d'Arcos, her
devoted and loyal squire, who not only
had inherited title and estates, but
represented his country as minister to
Mexico. They say the admiral resented
bitterly his defeat by foreign nation,

He il to the navy what General o. o.
Howard was to the army-a firm yet

Commodore Dewey has creditable
war record, having besn with Farra-
CUTS feet when 10 ran the santlet of
Confederate batteries and torpedoes on
the Mississippi from New Ofleans to
Memphis. Later ON he was attached to
the north Atlantic blockading squad
ron, where he did efficient duty as
signal officer. But most noteworthy Of
his achievements was 1t the storming
Of Fort Fisher, he having participated
in both attacks upon this stronghold.
In the latter assault Commodore Dewey,
then lieutenant, succeeded In effecting
. landing with large force Of sailors
and marines, and In the gallant charge
which followed one Of his brother off,
GERS and 30 men were lost. But, un-
needing the destructive fire which raked
their advancing columns, they swept
irresistibly on and carried the enemy's
outer worka II was fitting that the
