American troops has produCed
so great an impression that but
little apprehension is felt as to
their ability to resist the lnsur-
gent forces.
A consultation was held in re-
gard to providing measures for
the safety of non-combatants, and
it was finally decided, in view Of
the possibility of danger from
chance missiles, that asylum
should be given the women on
board the transports.
All the American women in
the city, and many Europeans,
have accordingly been placed in
safety. The transfer was accom-
plished without disorder, a detail
of soldiers being provided to es-
cort them to boats at the Puente
Espano and the Old City front,
whence they were ferried over to
the fleet.
Occasionally a spent shot from
the insurgents lines falls within
the city, testimony to the in
ferior quality of the ammunition
with which Aguinaldo's men are
supplied.
The greatest cheerfulness pre-
walls among the American troops.
The idea of Aguinaldo's success
is not contemplated. 1t is known
that, although he has in the
neighborhood of 10000 men, not
more than half of his men are
equipped in anything like a ser
viceable manner, and it is felt that
with 10000 we'll disciplined, we'll

Deficiency Estimated at Three Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Tons.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-A deficit
in the German beet sugar crop of
at least 100000 tons is figured
upon by United States Consul
Diedrich, at Magdeburg. He says
that the backward season resulted
in deficiency. A number of
manufacturers sold fully one half
of their last years product at very
low prices before they realized
that there would be a shortage in
material, and the end of Novem-
Der found number of factories
closed on account of the difficulty
in getting material.
All the old stocks of sugar in
Europe having run low, the mar
ket has been stronger for some
time with upward prices. The
estimate of the beet sugar crop for
the world accepted in Germany as
accurate is 4,775,4S5 tons, Germa-
ny leading with ,S47 ,01S tons, and
Cuba being set down as producing
100000 tons, against 1857 ,57l tons
in the previous season.
