SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

C TUDENTS of commercial statistics have noted
 that despite the vast increase in our exports of AD recent years our trade with South American countries remains virtually at standstill The fact would not be surprising one ii the commerce of those countries showed evidence of expansion in any direction for it would then be in the natural der of things It happens however, that the trade of South America with European nations and particu- lary with Germany, is growing rapidly. It is there fore clear that the stagnation Of business with those countries IS largely if mainly fault.
 Several theories have been advanced to account for this condition of affairs and several suggestions made as to the best means of obtaining rghtul share of South American business A strong body of influential of the opinion that the chief ob- stace in the way of trade with those countries the lack of proper banking facilities and they pro- pose to establish international bank with branches in the larger South American cities. Another class hold that by proper reciprocity treaties can gain an increase of trade and these eager that such treaties should be arranged as speedily as possible.
 Much can be said in favor of these views. Each Of them has solid basis of fact to rest upon. It is doubtful however if both remedies combined would be sufficient to advance our trade to any great tent unless another factor is added to them. Com is carried by ships, and to compete in for eign trade with the great nations of the world we must have merchant marine equal to that of any of the great nations
 A good deal of light is thrown upon the subject by recent report from Consul at Chemntz, who after giving statistics showing the rapid growth of German commerce, says: "If we are to take part in the trade with South America and with the East must emulate this empire in the matter of ships. Or all the ships that came into and out of German ports in 18o6 72.4 per cent bore the empires flag Of the steamers 68.3 per cent were German.
 Conceding all in the way of benefits that may be derived from international bank or from reef procity treaties the fact remains that must have American ships if expect to have extensive American commerce. We paying tribute to foreign shp-owners to carry our exports to market and to bring imports to shores It is wastefu policy in double respect, for it hampers merce with many countries and compels us to pay heavily for such commerce carry with others
 A large expansion and extension of our merchant marine is the imperative need Of the country. Our industries are productive beyond our power to con sume We must find for them markets, and must provide ships to carry them to market. When that has been accomplished we need have no fear of German or British competition in South America When we have emulated the example of Great Britain and Germany in promoting a merchant marine ships will carry flag to every port in the world and trade will go with the flag.

Troops Will Not Be Brought
Back While Yellow
Fever Exists.

New York, July pa dispatch to the
Times from Washington says:
To the question, What will be done
with General Skaters Fifth CORPS now
at SantiaSo?' the heads of the war ad-
ministratiOn can find but one answer. That
is to keep it in Cuba until every vestige
OF yellow fever is stamped out of it, 1t
can be stated positively and upon the
highest possible authority that there is
no intention of bringing the troops back
to this country at the present time.
The authorities here believe that it
would be dangerous and criminal to run
the risk of spreading the fever broadcast
throughout this country by bringing the
men back here so long as the pest is
among them and it is agreed that the
best place to fight the disease is right
where they are now
Adjutant General COrbin, when asked
what it was proposed to do with the San
tiago army. said What can we do but
leave the troops there till thew are free
from the fever? Undertake to bring them
back to this country now and it would in

gestion of a fever-infected army within

Besides. there is no reason to believe
that a removal at this time would be of
advantage to the men themselves. No,
the best and the only thing we can do is
to fight the fever on it's own ground and

it is.

AGUINALDO REBUKED.
He is Suffering From a Bad At
tack of Big Head.

Cavite, Philippine Islands, July 10 via
Hong Kong, July 23.-Aguinaldo, the
rebel leader, has recently shown many
symptoms of what is termed in the
United States the big head" and it has
been found necessary to bring him to
realization of his position. This has
been done by Gen. Anderson, the COM
mander of the American land forces
here, who has sharply called down.
the ins1lrgent chief The affair came
about in this way:
Last Sunday Gen. Anderson sent
through Major Jones a letter to Aguin-
aldo in reference to the furnishing of
men, carts and animals for the pur-
pose of removing the stores and equi-
pages of the American forces to the
point where it had been determined to
camp. Chief QuartermaSter Jones had
previously met with a cool reception at
the hands of Aguinaldo Finding that
he could not move the equipage of the
troops without men and CARTS and that
he could not obtain these without an
order from AguinaldO, Jones tried to
see the rebel leader, but the latter re-
fused to show himself sending word to
Jones that he was not feeling well.
On another occasion he failed to see
AguinaldO for the reason that the latter
was asleep and had left orders that he
was not to be disturbed under any cir
cumstances. Finally, growing tired of
the tactics of AguinaldO, Major Jones
wrote a letter to AguinaldO, in which
he stated that Gen. Anderson was will
ing to pay fair price for what was
needed, and if this did not meet the
approval of the rebel chief he (JOnes)
would proceed to take what he wanted
without any further why's or where
fores.
When AguinaIdo received this letter
he proceeded to become decidedly angry
and straightway sent his aide to Gen.
Anderson to inquire if the letter was
written by his authority. Cen Ander-
son, who had also lost patience with
AguinaldO replied sharply that it was
written with his approval and further
stated to the leader of rebels that it
was customary with American generals
to detail some one to attend to their
business when they were i'll.
He also warmly referred to the dis
courtesy which had been shown to
Major Jones. An answer from Aguin-
aldo has been received, but Gen. An
derson refuses to make known its con-
tents 1t is believed, however, that
the rebul1e will have a good effect upon
the man whose head is apparently be
ing turned by his successes.
The American troops are in excellent
health and fine spirits. They are all
impatient for action, and both officers
and men are confident that they Will
take the city of Manila before Gen.
