ed to Have Him Go.

Washington. Aug s.-The report that
Admiral Dewey will go to Rome to-mor-
row, where he will be given an audience
by the Pope and will later visit London
en- route home, has attracted general in
terest at the navy department to-day
although the department has not been ap-
prised of the programme.
For many reasons the officers of the
navy would be pleased if the Admira
should visit London. The cordlality OF
the relations between the two countries
and the fraternizng spirit shown by
British and American army and navy ofh-
GERS toward each other would, they be
Iieve, insure for the admiral a gratifying
reception.

TOBACCO FROM PORTO RICO

American enterprise would csrta,uly

but do not think the quantity of Porto
Rican tobacco will ever be large enough
to seriously smbarass the American
grower"
A most favorable view Of the situation
was thus expressed to-day by one Of the
firm Of the largest importers Of Porto
Rico tobacco in'this country: "AH the
tobacco produced in Porto Rico to-day
would not nearly supply the demand Of
the city of New York alone. The annii-
al export Of the island is only about 90,
600 bales and more than half of this is of
a poor quality and Is sent to Europe. 1t
is wrong to suppose that this product
could or would be greatly increased
under free trade. As q matter of fact,
all the available land in Porto Rico Is
under cultivation now. The methods
employed nre excellent, and / do not
think Americrn farmers would much
improve upon them.
s.The great bulk of Porto Rican tobac-
co Is used for cigar filters, while the
American leaf, Of Connecticut, for cx.
ample, goes largely into binders and
wrappers. 1t is strange that growers
should be showing such a strong oppo-
sition to free trade when II can effect
them so little"
The importing Of Porto Rican goods is
now being doie under protest. That Is.
the duty on them is paid, but under an
arrar cement which provides for its
subsequent refunding In case the tariff
has become imperative. 1t was sand
to-day that the American Tobacco Co.
has bought out factory and warehouse
in San Juan and will make heavy pur-
chases of leaf in the island.
