Annual Report Of Affairs Submitted
to Congress.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the Maritime Naval company of
Nicaragua has been submitted to con-
gress. Since the organization of the
company, 1915 shares of the capital
stock have been subscribed for at par,
of 81, Ola 500, of which amount S1,OOS,-

first mortgage bonds. 1t has also is
sued $50, 900 shares of its capital stock
at the par value of $1S,OOO,OOO in pay
ment for concessionary rights. In de-
| scribing the present condition of the
affairs of the company the report says:
I'm 1895 (after the Maritime Canal
company had expended over $4,Oo0,OOO),
and again in 1897, and again in 1899,
the congress of the United States as
serted its right to determine the line of
the canal through Nicaragua and Costa
Rica under the concessions from these
governments to the Maritime Canal
company, by enacting laws authorizing
surveys and appropriating large sums
of money for that purpose; and thesa
laws and the operations Of the COM
missions thus authorized have been
approved by the governments of Mic
aragUa and Costa Rica.
This action caused an uncertainty
as to the final location of the route
This uncertainty, with other causes re-
ferred to in the last and former re-
ports of the company, has made it as
yet impossible to resume the work OF
construction"

1NCENDIARY SPEECHES IN CUBA.
Americans Accused of Treacherous In
tentions By Former Insurgents.

Santiago de Cuba, Dec. IA meet
ing at the Maceo club last night was
largely attended by former officers and
soldiers of the Cuban army. The
speakers, while complimenting General
Wood on his administration of affairs
in this province, took occasion to make
the most incendiary speeches that have
been uttered since the American oc-
cupation.
They declared that the American
government was evidently making
every effort automatically to deprive
the Cubans of their promised indepen-
dence. They denounced President Nc
Kinley's message as a confession of
this treacherous intention.
One speaker said that the time was
near at hand when the Cubans from
one end of the island to the other, must

New Possessions Will
Meet Requirements
IN TROPICAL PRODUCTS
More Than S25o,oO0,OOO are Needed
Here Annually-The Demands o
Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines for Agricultural and
Manufactured Products of This
Country.

Washington, Dec. Especially
The capacity of Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
waii and the Philippines to meet our
constantly growing requirements for
tropical products and the markets
which they can supply for our farm
productions and manufactures in ex-
change therefor is attracting renewed
attention with the reassembling of
congress and the questions naturally
coming before that body. The annual
importations of tropical products into
the United States amount on an aver
age to fully $780, 200, 900 and are COM
posed of raw materials required by our
manufacturers or foodstuffs demanded
by the general public. The most i'm
portant items in the fiscal year 1899
were sugar, S95, 900, 900; coffee, s55, ,OOO,-
900; rubber, $32, 2,0OO 900; fibers, $40. 90 900;
tropical fruits and nuts, $4,000, ,OOO
tropical gums, drugs and dye-woods,
$2O,00O00O; tobacco and manufactures,
$12, ,OOO, 900; cocoa, chocolate, etc, IS, ,O00.-
900; spices, $500, ,OOO cabinet woods.
81, 900, 900, and manufactures of cork,
81, 5000 Most of these articles are
the islands in question and form a
share in our importations from them.
Sugar, coffee and tropical fruits, as is
well known, are the principal produc-
waiian islands, while these items with
hemp added form the chief exports of
the Philippines, hemp alone forming
the largest item of our present i'm
portations from those islands.
The demands of these islands for the
classes of agricultural production and
manufactures produced in the United
States is also very great. In the past,
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
have drawn most of their supplies of
those articles from Spain. The i'm
portations into Porto Rico from Spain
in 1896 amounted to over S7,000,000, into
Cuba from Spain in that year, s26, OO0,-
900, and into the Philippines from
Spain in the same year, nearly ssOOO.-
900, and all of these were either pro-
ductions of agriculture or manufac-
lures. Adding to these the supplies
drawn by those islands from other Eu-
ropean countries, the market which
they offered for agricultural products
and manufactures, aside from those
which they already drew from the
United States was in that year over
$50, 900, ,OOO
In response to demands for informa-
ton along these lines the treasury bu-
reau of statistics has prepared a series
of tables showing the imports into the
United States from Cuba and Porto
Rico, and the imports into those is
lands from Spain and other European
countries. In the statement of the i'm
ports into the United States the years
1898, 1896 and 1898 are separately
shown, those of 1898 being under the
reciprocity agreement, while those of
1896 show the trade Immediately pre-
ceding the war.

We copy the following from recent
number of the Ashtabula (Ohio) Re-
cord:
"Rather a surprise was sprung on
the friends of Mrs. Ellen M. Hoyt last
evening when they learned that she
had become bride.
"The gentleman who succeeded in
winning heart and hand is Mr.. James
NJ. Daniel, of South Dakota. The
affair has been kept SO quiet that few
of Mrs. Hoyt's friends we're aware of
her intentions. Now that the court
ship has eliminated in her wedding
all are eager to extend congratulations.
"The happy event whereby the par
ties plighted their troth occurred at the
Methodist Episcopal parsonage at 81
| Park street. The evening was We'd
nesday and the hour at 5:45.
"The bridal party were unattended
and when they appeared before the
Rev. S. Burt, d. D., in a few we'll chosen
words recited the ritual that made
them husband and wife. After the
ceremony the couple proceeded to
Mrs. Hoyt's home and after few days
spent in Ashtabula, will leave for Hot
Springs, South Dakota, lovely and
thrifty place, where they will reside in
a home already prepared by the
groom"
The STAR adds it's congratulations
and welcomes Mrs. Daniel to Hot
Springs.
