Decision That May Stop Shipments
of Arms to FiIipinOs.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Hon. John Good
now, consul general of the United States,
al Shanghai, has rendered a decision as
referee in the consular court which will be
of far-reaching importance during the
continuance of the war in the Philippines
The case is that of the steamer Abbey,
charged with taking arms from Canton to
Luzon. The owners of the vessel gave
bond that the ship should land the arms
purchased at Singapore, but she did not
do so. The bond was demanded by the
Chinese customs authorities. Mr.. Good
now holds that it must be paid
The importance of he dec sion is point
ed out by The Shanghai Mercury, which
says:
The effect of the decision of Mr.. Goo l.
now reaches much beyond the mere fact
of being judgment for the plaintiff with
the penalty of the bond and the costs of
the suit Hitherto the American forces at
Manila hae had to fight against Filipnos
well armed with modern rifles and guns,
and it is no secret that the majority of
these arms have been landed in the Phiip-
pines from Chinese ports
when United States consular officials
have received information that cargoes OF
wea pons were about to be shipped from
China, their urgent protests to the Chi
nese authorities have been the means of
stopping shipments. But when the United
States officials, through want of knowl-
edge, have been ignorant Of such contra
band runs, the Chinese officials have like
wise been blind to these shipments,
though no doubt well aware of such 1t
is in this respect that Mr.. Goodnow has
scored such an important point. On the
strength of that judgment the officers of
the imperial maritime customs of China
must necessarily do all in their power to
stop shipments Of arms to suspicious des-
Iinatons.
at has been decided on the motion of
the customs authorities, that China is liza
BILE for any shipments of arms which get
to the Philippines through tack of dill
gence or honesty on the part of the GUS
toms or the Chinese officials. Therefore,
the judgment in the Drew VS.. Sylvester
case will be the means of checking the
chief source Of supply of arms and war
like material that the Filipinos have pos
