NEARLY A MILLION A MONTH.
Revenues of Manila Under Unfavor-
able Circumstances.

New York, Dec. 26.-Brigadier General
S. Whittier, who went to Manila as an
inspector general on the staff of General
Merritt, has returned to New York on the
st. Louis with the peace commission. He
took part in all the land fighting around
Manila, and when peace was restored he
was put in charge Of the collection OF
customs at Manila.
"Between August 20,when took charge,
and October 81, when l was ordered to
report to the peace commission at Paris, y
said General Whittier, "the port of Manila
yielded customs revenues amounting to
$l,OOO0OO. This gives no idea Of what the
customs receipts would be during 40 days
Of peace and the ordinary pursuits OF
commerce.
"The value and commercial advantages
of the Philippines properly administered
are very great to any country that will
develop them. The Filipinos are well
informed people, peace-loving, thrifty and
orderly. What they want most is a gov
ernment that will allow them to attend to
their own business. If they can do that
in peace and quiet, they will welcome the
new government. Aguinaldo comes nearer
to being great man than any other of 20
years l ever knew. AS we consider age,
he is mere boy. Yet he has done Won
ders in fighting the Spaniards."

CHANGES IN THE NAVY LIST.
Evans May Succeed to Command OF
the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

New York, Dec. 27.--A dispatch from
Washington says:
Capt. X. d. Evans name is prominent
ly mentioned as Rear Admiral Bunce's
successor in the New York navy yard,
now that it seems to be decided that
Rear Admiral Sampson will remain COM
mander-in-chief Of the North Atlantic
station and Rear Admiral Schley will be
assigned to sea duty in compliance with
his request.
Unless congress should pass law au-
thorizing him to remain on the active list,
Rear Admiral Dewey will be placed ON
the retired list on December 20, 1900.
Only one other retirement will occur next
year-that of Commodore H. L. Howison,
now commandant of the Boston navy
yard.
There is strong sentiment in naval cir
cles in favor Of the passage of a law to
permit the retention Of Admiral Dewey
upon the active list for 10 years, as was
done in the case OF heroes of the civil
war.
Work is being pushed by the navy de.
partment on the small cruisers and gun.
boats to be used for patrol service in Gu.
ban waters 1t is appreciated that in
six days this government will assume
control in Cuba, and it is desired that the
navy shall be prepared to do its share Of
service in preserving peace and order in
the seaports of the island.
