COLONIES OF THE WORLD.
Their Area, Population, Revenues
and Commerce,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Washington, Feb. 5.-"rhe Colonies, Pro-
tectorates and Dependencies of the World;
Their Area, Population, Revenues and
Commerce, and the Share of the Mother
Country in Their Commerce is the title
of publication just issued by the treas
ury bureau of statistics. The colonies,
protectorates and dependencies of the
world number 126. They occupy two
fifths of the land surface of the globe
and their population is one-third of the
entire people of the earth. Their total inn
ports average $1,5O0O00oO0 of goods an
nually, and of this vast sum more than
40 per cent. is purchased from mother
countries. OF their exports, which con-
siderably exceed their imports, 20 per cent
goes 20 the mother countries. Large sums
are annually expended in the construction
of roads, canals, railways, telegraphs pos
tai service schools, etc, but in most cases
the present annual expenditures are pro-
duced by local revenues or are represented
by local obligations. The revenues of the
British colonies in 1897 were f151 900 900 and
their expenditures f149 900. 0OO While the
public debt in the more important and ac-
tive of these communities aggregates
large sum- it is represented by canals rail-
ways, public highways, harbors, irriga-
ton and other public improvements, in

OF the 126 colonies protectorates, depend

make up the list, two-fifths belong to

tive feudatory states of India) being one
half of the grand total of colonial terri
tory and their population considerably
more than one-half the grand total of
colonial population. France is next in or
der in number, area and population of
colonies, etc, though the area controlled
by France is only about one-thfrd that of
Great Britain, and the population of her
colonies less than one-sixth of those of
Great Britain. Commerce between the
successful colonies and their mother coun-
tries is in nearly all cases placed on prac-
ticaily the same basis as that with other
countries, goods from the home countries
receiving in the vast majority of cases no
advantages over those from other coun-
tries in import duties and other exactions
OF this character. In the more prosperous
ana progressive colonies the percentage of
importatfons from the mother countries
grows somewhat less as business and
prosperity increase. The chief British COL

GOVERNMENT GRATIFIED.
Information From the Philippines
Is Regarded as Highly Important.


WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-The secre-
tary of war regards the information con-
yeyed In Gen. Otis dispatches today as
the most important that has come to
hand for months past. The capture Of
Mabini, reported by Gen. Macarthur from
Bayombong, is especially gratifying. 1t
is believed the Filipino leader was try
ing to make his way across the country
from Bangued, where he had been obliged
to part company with Aguinaldo fort
night ago, to the east coast of Luzon.
The members of the Philippine commits
sion now in Washington declare without
reserve that Mabini was the head and
front of the insurrection.- Aguinaldo was
only a figurehead. Mabini was the brain
and directing power behind him. He is
a paralytic an old man, but of extra
ordinary ability, and his counsels are al
WAYS conclusive with the Filipinos. He
was concerned in the first uprising
against the Spaniards. For short time
he wavered upon Aguinaldo's breach With
the Americans, but finally cast his for
tunes with the insurrection. and was
president of the council. He was also the
financial strength of the movement. as
without his backing Aguinaldo would
have no credit.
Next in Importance to the capture Of
Mabini In the developments of the cam
paign was the bold stroke of Capt. Nc
Gala. of the Newark, in capturing the
whole province of Cagayan. With Mac
Arthur holding the Province Of Isabella
adjoining, and Youngs holdings on the
opposite or western shore of the upper
peninsula, the American forces are now
in technical occupation OF the whole
northern end of Luzon. from a point just
north Of the Gulf of Lingayen. McCalla
posted at the port of Aparrl, the only
good port on the northern end of the
island, commands the greater part of the
whole length of the Rio Grande, afford
ing entrance by boats to a full third Of
the interior of the island. 1t Is up this
