For the Shipment OF Munitions OF War FROM

to their shipments, though no doubt wei
aware of SUCH 1t Is in this respect tnat
Mr.. Goodenow has now scored such an
imp rtant point.
"On the strength of that judgment the
officials of the imperial maritime customs
of China must necessarily do all In their
power to stop shipments of arms to sus-
picious destinations. 1t has been decided
on the motion of the customs that China Is
liable for any shipment of arms which
go to the Philippines through lack ot
diligence or honesty on the part OF the
customs OF the Chinese officials. There
fire the judgment in the Drew vs. sylves-
ter case will be the means of checking the
chief source of supply of arms and '"ar-
like material that the Fillpinos have pos
sessed.'
The North China News publishes The
decision Of Consul General Goodenow II
full and comments editorially upon its i'm
portance in the matter of preventing fur
ther shipments of arms to the insurgent
in the Philippines and says 1t will be FAR
reaching in it's effect in stopping the send
ing of arms to them.

that the bond must be paid.

no secret that the majority of the modern
arms sent to the Filipnos have been
landed from Chinese ports. When United
