LAND OF MILK AND HONEY
Tempting Picture OF the Natural Re-
sources of the PhiIiDDiueS

Washington, April The agricultural,
mineral and commercial opportunities in
the Philippines are discussed in detail in
the Monthly Summary of Commerce and
Finance, just issued by the treasury bu-
reau Of statistics. This discussion shows
that although agriculture is the chief oc-
cupation Of the Philippines. yet only one
ninth of the surfact is under cultivation
This soI IS very fertile, and even after
deducting the mountainous areas, it IS pro-
babe that the area of cultivation can De
very largely extended and that TIT islands
can support a population equal to that OF
Japan C42,000.o00).
The chief products are rice, corn, hemp,
sugar, tobacco. cocoanuts and cocoa. COT
fee and cotton were formerly produced in
large Quantit,es-tht former for export and
the latter for home consumption: bur the
coffee plant has been almost exterminated
by insects and the homemade cotton
cloths have been driven out by the compe-
uuon Of those imported from England.
The rice and corn are principally produced
In Luzon and Mindoro and are consumed
in The Islands. The rice crop is about
mand, and s5,oo0 tons Of rice were i'm
ported in 1894. the greater portion from
Saigon. and the rest from Hong Kong and

Washington. April THE president to-
day named the twelve new warships re-

lows:
acknowledgements. New Jersey.
Georgia.
Armcred cruisers-West Virginia, Ne
braska, California.
Sruisers-Denver, Des Moines, Chattan-
ooga, Galveston, Tacoma, Cleveland.
Petitions by the hundred have been
flowing into the White House and the
navy department ever since the new ships
were provided for urging the merits of
various names. The president and Secre-
tary Long enjoyed the good-natured rival
ry. and in making the final determination
consideration was given not only to the
urgency of the if1uence brought 10 bear,
but also 10 the several sections of the
country. Pennsylvania petitioned through
Governor Stone, Senators Quay and Pen
rose and the entire delegation in the house
of representatives. Georgia did not petit
ton the navy department and it is be-
ieved that the choice of a southern state
was due to a desire by the president to
compliment those with whom he visited
on his recent southern trip. Senator Elk
ins and the congressional delegation were
most active for West Virginia. Repre-
sentative Mercer made it his business to
besiege the navy department with petit
tons for Nebraska. The choice of Cali
fornia also seems to be a personal compli-
ment. without the same effort as shown
in other states.
The same rivalry was shown among the
cities, the mayors, city councils, chambers
Of commerce, etc, joining in the pleas.
The battleships Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Georgia are described in the act
authorizing them, as follows: Three sea-
going coast line battleships, carrying the
heaviest srmor and most powerful ord
nance for vessels of their class upon a
trial displacement of about Is 500 tons, to
be sheathed and coppered and to have the
highest practicable speed and greatest ra-
dius of action. and to cost, exclusive of
armOr and armament, not exceeding
s3,60O,00 each. The armored cruisers are
similarly described, except that they are
to cost $4,000 900 each and are to have
displacement of 1900 tons. The cruisers
Denver. Cleveland and others are describ-
ed as protected cruisers Of about $500
tons trial displacement to be sheathed and
coppered, and to have the highest speed
compatible with good cruising qualities,
great radius of action, and TO carry the
most powerful ordnance suited to vessels
of their class. and to cost, exclusive of
armament, not exceeding $1141, 500 each"
