For these two reasons. the smallness
of importations of manufactures and
the probable Increased consumption OF
manufactures BY our own people, 1t is
APPARENT that the home demand upon
our own manufacturers was unusually
great, thus reducing, to some extent,
the attention which they had formerly
been able to give TO an invasion OF to[-
eiSn markets. In addition TO this II
had been feared by some that the M
creased customs rates adopted a year
ago would result In q reduction OF the
purchases OF our goods by citizens OF
other nations, but this expectation was
not realized.
In view Of these facts the large expor-
tatlon OF manufactures In the year Just

From the beginning Of hostilities the
Spaniards played waiting game. Iney
had hoped by such campaigning to ger
the sympathy of some OF the more
powerful nations and in that way de-
feat the ends Of the United states.
They were disappointed, for when the
time came to act the men in command
of the United States forces struck the
dons blow that not only staggered
them and opened the eyes OF the otner
nations, but quickly brought them 10
terms.
1t will be the same way with the
American commissioners. They nave
their instructions and will act accord
lngly, and If the Dons continue TO Try
to delay matters they will hnd tneh-
selves with less than would nave peeh
offered if dilatory tactics had not oeeh
attempted. Uncle Sam will dictate

Nearly all the regulars exhibited an in-

wound was slight and in place where
they could tie it up conveniently, they
did so, and then went back to the
