The Bank of England is one of

seen that the bank pays very large
dividends, as dividends go in Great
Britain.
At the half yearly meeting on
September Is, a dividend at the
rate OF 10 per cent per annum
was declared. A SIMILAR rate vas

rates are above the average, as in
1896 the dividends were 81 per

The Westminster Gazette Discusses
the New Aspect of the Phil
ippine Island Question.
IDEAS THAT HAVE BECOME OBSOLETE.
Nations Can Not Always Do as They Will
With Their Own-Philippine Possession
Another Factor the Tendency OF Which
Is to Bring the United States and Great
Britain Together.

LONDON, May 4.-The Westminster
Gazette, discussing the Philippine ques-
ton, quotes the assumption of Amer
lean newspapers that the United
States can do precisely what she
chooses with Manila or the Philippine
islands-return them, keep them, sell
them or barter them" implying that
America has only to speak and no L
will venture to dispute her right to
dispose of her lawful prize as she
chooses.
The Westminster Gazette says it
much fears that this view will entail
disagreeable surprises" Adding: In
entering European politics the United
States will probably discover that
these simple ideas of doing what you
will with your own have become obso-
lete in Europe. The first symptoms
are likely to be naked by an increase
of the anti-American pressure: which,
if Great Britain could be counted on to
join it would speedily cad to inter
ventlon in behalf of Spain"
After pointing out the f~utility of ex-
pecting Great Britain to join in such d
movement, and the probability Of at
tempts upon the part of the continental
powers, at the close of the war. to pre-
vent the United States from holding
the Philippine islands, the Westmin.
ster Gazette says: The natural ten.
dency of all this is to bring the United
States and Great Britain together. and
we hope it will be fostered by states,
men, and by a revival of the arbitra-
ton treaty at the opportunity

A SPANISH SPY ON BOARD.
An Important Capture on the Steamship
st. Paul, Capt. S~igsbee's New Com
mand, at Cramps Yard.

PHILADELPHIA, May THE report
that a supposed Spanish spy had been
captured aboard the auxiliary cruiser
st. Paul at Cramps yard Tuesday
night, is confirmed. Who the man is
Capt. Sigsbee refuses to state, and all
that is known of him is that his
father is a Spaniard, and hat his moth
err was born on Cuban soil. The sus-
pect enlisted some days ago as
an oiler, and almost from the time of
his enlistment vas under suspicion on
account OF his peculiar actions.
Late Tuesday night a marine who
was on watch below decks lear the
powder magazine, discovered the man
acting in a suspicious way around the
magazine. The marine lost no time
in bringing the man to ground and
a short and severe fight followed. The
guard overpowered him, but not be-
fore the suspect had received a grea I
cash on the right side of the face.
He vas taken before Capt. Sigsbee
for examination, and the captain COM
mitted him to the brig" for the night.
A thorough investigation is being made.

made short, sharp and decisive. Not
solely with a view to speedy victory
over Spain, but because of the object
lesson it would afford European
powers. They will respect US more if
they see hat when we engage in a
fight we are a united people with but
one end in view, and that the uphold.

Il believe that the friendship of the
English people for US. which has been
SO cemented during the present crisis,
will result in something more than a

ASTFfMA'S PROGRESS.
From Cold to Cure.
No relief i'm other remedies.

There are many medicines that palliate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for a time the oppressed breathing
of the sufferer. There are lew diseases
more troublesome and more irritating
than asthma. It interferes alike with
business and with pleasure. II prevents
enjoyment of the day and makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed by thousands as the greatest posi-
BILE boou that could be offered them. There
is a remedy for asthma. DR.. ]. c Ayers

cases of this disease, and testimonials 10

Mr.. Williams report says:


"Localan European authorities esti-
mate the area of the Philippine islands
at $50, 900 square miles and their popu-
lation at Is. OOO, 600. The island of Lu-
zon,o on which the city of Manila is
situated, is larger than New York and
Massachusetts, and has a population of
5000. 900. and the island of Mindo is
nearly, if not quite, as large. There
are scores of other islands.
An idea of the extent of the popula-
ton of the Philippines may be formed
when it is stated that the six New En-
gland states and New York, New Jer-
sey, MARYLAND and Delaware have ten
per cent. less area and population
Mr.. Williams states that 22 consul
ates. representing the leading com
merciat countries of the world, are es-
tablished at Manila. He adds the sur
prising statement:
The volume of the export trade
coming under my official supervision
equals that of my 81 consular col
leagues combined"
He hen shows in detail how the
trade of the Philippines with the
United States exceeds that of all other
countries combined, and is growing at
Il remarkable rate. AS indicating the
extent of this trade, he says:
To-day, l have authenticated in
voices for export to the United States
amounting to Sl3S,O66."
He says the exports to this country
average 81, 900, 900 a month. The re-
port states that 216, 900 bales of hemp
were exported during the last three
months. OF these 1873, 1872 went to the
United States and 7s,O 0u to Great Brit
ain 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 Sc per cent. for Great Brit
ain and other countries. He says
that last year the increase OF ship
ments to the United States was $4,000
bales, and the decrease to Great Brit
ain %, 900 bales. He adds:
''Of the increased shipments from
the Philippines those to the United
States were 81 per cent. greater than
to all other countries combined"
He also gives details of the large
shipments of sugar, cigars, tobacco,
and woods, hides, shells, indigo and
coffee. In the item of sugar, which is
second in Importance, the shipments to
the United States were SIS per cent. of
the total to all points.

the railroad and ocean steamship
facilities of the Philippines. The main

Coarse and Brutal.

History states that a certain Roman of.
fetal of some importance was killed one
day by a falling tile while indulging in a
parade. A young man of the family Of Hur
was charged with his death and brought
into court. The Judge. after hearing the
case, turned to the prisoner and said:

"To the mines?" echoed Ben Hur.
Eyes, to the mines" retorted the face
tious magistrate: there are great mining
facilities on the Mediterranean. You will
find all the oar you want in the galleys."
AT this brutal Jest it is said the attorney
for the prosecution laughed long and loud,
but Ben Hur saw no Joke in the galleys-he
was not a printer.-Detroit Free Press.

TO HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
The Government repairing TO Send an
Army of Ten Thousand Men
to Hold Manila.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Telegrap HE
to engage nine steamers of the Pacific
Mail Co, which will transport, without
d~i tficulty. an army of 10, 900 men. Ar
engagements have also been made to
send a supply of coal, if Dewey should
ask for it. but the understanding that
there is about 10000 tons at Man lila a.
the least. and there is good ground %
believe that the supply is much great
err. Just back of Fl. Cavite is a
dock with abundant app aratus for or.
binary ship repair $. The principal
problem, therefore. is to send Oh
men to CARR ison the city, and it is be.
lieved that 10000 well-equipped Amer
lean troops will be quite sufficient for
this purpose. The present plan is to
take all the national guard from
California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Nevada, Colorado and the far west
ern states. To these will be added
a regiment of regular infantry. a
regiment of cavalry, and possibly the
Texas rangers and one of the new VOL
unteer regiments. The command will
probably be given to Gen. Merriam. in
which case he will be made a major
general of volunteers. While these
plans have all been made in outline,
they will be held in allegiance entirely
until Dewey's report comes, so that it
may be determined what will be nee
eSsary to do to hold the Philippines as
a base of supplies for future operations
in the East Indies.
