From these figures it will be seen that
the two Virginia ship-yards hold in the
list the first and the sixth place. respec-
lively, and that Virginia has 81 per cent;
California. % per cent and Pennsylvania,
20 per cent. Of the contracts.
On its face this exhibit IS a most graft
flying one for Virginia. but, unfortunately,
when il Is examined in the light of GER
tain considerations, it Is greatly dis.
credited as a sign of prosperity. And it
| Is to this fact, and to the lesson it teaches,
that We would call the especial attention
OF our people.
Out of every dollar that comes into
Virginia through her ship-buiding int
rest we pay heavy tribute to other States.
After the wages Of the men employed in
the plants are paid, the balance. in greater
part, goes out of the State for shp-build-
ing material that could be, and should be.
manufactured i'm the state. 1t is the old
story of Virginia's working largely for
other sections. 1t is fair assumption
that Pennsylvania will net more out of
we will out of our 81 per cent.
There is no reason why Virginia should
not manufacture steel billets. She has
all the natural advantages and resources
for the development of the industry on
large scale. This development would
carry with it the establishment Of
rollng-mills, which would furnish the
bulk Of the material that enters into the
construction of ships and ship machinery.
AS a result, not only would the per-
centage of our receipts that finds its
way into the pockets Of laborers and
practically all the balance left after the
paying of wages would also remain in
the State for the stimulation and upbuild-
ing of diversified industries. Not until
these conditions shall have obtained will
the amount of money Virginia receives |
through her ship-building. or any other |
enterprises consuming similar material. |
have it's face value as a sign Of progress |
and prosperity.
Of course, we do not fail TO appreciate
that our ship-bullding industry as it
stands is a great thing for the state. We
90 not fail to appreciate that Richmond
and Newport News are far richer for hay
ing their respective plants. We are thank
ful for the benefits from them that have
already accrued to the two cities and to
the State. But we would impress upon
our people that these benefits can be null

tries that are contributory to ship-build-
ing and kindred enterprises. And to bring
The matter close home. we would say
that no point IN the State offers better
field than Richmond for the location OF
some OF the more important OF the ship
building auxiliary plants. No city in Vir-
snia has more TO gain than Richmond
BY studying the exhibit we have presented,
nd acting upon the lesson it teaches.

New York. September l5.--A special to
the Journal and Advertiser says: News
concerning Lieutenant Gilmore and four
teen of the enlisted men OF the yorktown
who We're captured by the Filipinos at
Balor, more than six months ago, has
reached Washington In letters to military
officials from their fellow officers In the
island. The latest information comes
through the Spanish planter by the name
of Garza. who was imprisoned by the Fill
ipinos and subsequently, made his escape.
Cara described Lieutenant Gilmore and
his companions to officers in Manila. He
said that the officers and fourteen men
were at Bigua, where they We're subsisting
of a meager quantity of rice, valued at
not more than one peseta per man per day.
The allowance was more liberal than that
for the Spanish prisoners. every one of
whom was allotted at one half peseta per
day. There were fully 1000 of the latter
at Bigua, Cara said and all prisoners,
Spanish and American, showed the effect
oil the confinement and the poor and in
sufficient food. He is quoted as saying
that the captives could not stand such
hardship and such fare much longer.
CARA also described the extent OF the
force at Bigua. where fully 5000 Filipinos
are under arms. Some of the weapons are
Mausers. with which the troops are being
equipped steadily. The sources of supply
evidently amazed Cara. as 1t has those in
authority at Manila He said the old
weapons were being distributed to the
troops in the interior and that the arma
ment of the infantry goes on TO an alarm
ing extent. Cara also reports that the
Filipinos in some instances were equipped
with the uniforms of Americans. including
the cork helmet. These articles evidently
came from the steamer Centennial which
went on the reef on the northwestern
coast of Luzon and was promptly looted
Cara witnessed also the destruction of
the Saturnus, of which he furnished d
vivid account to the authorities.
Navy department officials say that steps
have already been taken to relieve Lieu
tenant Gilmore and his party.

Washington, September 10. - Recent
copies of the American, published Mt Ma

progress of events In The Philippines which

the grievances Of what he complains In
the way OF franchises. Consequently the
Boer president has sought to couple with
his proffered concessions condition that
England would either renounce her s,iz-
erainty or stipulate not to interfere
hereafter in the affairs OF the republic.
Throughout the entire proceedings he has
contonded that England had no suzerainty
rights over the Transvaal and went so far
as to declare that from inherent right
the republic Is a sovereign stste,' con-
cession which Mr.. Chamberlain said was
not warranted either by law or history
and was wholly inadmisslble. There is not
the slightest probability tina, England will
yield, since to renouncc her suzerainty
rights would simply be to surrender every
thing If war comes 1t will be on the
part OF the Beers struggle OF inde
pendence and on the part OF England q

sidering England's vastly superior forces
