THE PHILIPPINE REVENUES.
Total Customs Receipts Nearly 50, ,OOe,-
900 During American Occupation.

Acting Secretary Meiklejohn yesterday
made Il statement of the receipts in the
Philippine Islands since the Americans
have been in charge. These figures have
been cabled by Gen. Otis, but s.nce the
active hostilities have been going on,
no detailed reports have been received.
The Americans took possession on August
l5, 1898 The receipts to the 1st of Janu-
ary were $l,Sl9,Sl3 The receipts for Janu-
airy, February. and March, so far as re-
ported, were Sl,16S666 of which amount
$4,000 is from IlOilO and $40c50 from Cebu
1t is believed that the total showing of
2,9SS,iS9 would have been much larger
had all the ports of the islands been in
possession CT the United States. Many
of the ports have been in possession of
the insGrSt nts and commerce has been
necessarily restricted.
