1t is the recollection of the highest
authority in Spanish affairs in Wash
ington that the imports of spirituous
liquors into the Philippines before Am
erican occupation varied from 1000, 900
to 1,250,000 pesetas annually-the peseta
being a Spanish coin equivalent to 20
cents in American money-which would
make the total imports vary from $780,,
600 to $780,
The largest commerce of the Philip
pine Islands was with the British colo
ny of Hongkong, and most of the whis-
ky consumed there was of Scotch and
Irish manufactures, reshipped at the
latter port The Statesmen's Year Book,
which is the highest authority, says
there are no official figures obtainable
giving the imports of the Philippine
Islands," but it estimates the total
value of foreign merchandise shipped
from Hongkong at SIG, 100000. Most of
this trade was carried on by smugglers
more or less with the connivance of
Spanish officials at Manila, and the
high duty imposed upon liquors and
similar classes of luxuries caused most
of the supplies to be brought into the
islands clandestinely. Therefore, any
statistics of trade from Philippine
sources would be inaccurate and under
the truth.
The official returns of the Spanish
Government show that the exports of
spirituous liquors from Spain alone to

NIGHT BLOOMING cERE1rs.

The late rains have been very well
come to the friends and admirers of
the hedge of night, blooming cereus on

dry weather has so seriously affected
this hedge, even the old part of it, that
the regular autumnal exhibition of the
wonderful flowers had almost been des-
paired Of The more lately planted part
of the hedge has only been kept alive
by carrying water to it,

LIQUOR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
EXPORTS FROM UNITED STATES
NOT LARGE.
During Spanish Occupation the Liquor
From Spain Alone, Was More Than
Three Times as Much.

The exports of liquor from the United
States to the Philippine Islands during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892
were about one-fifth of the amount an
nually imported into these islands dur
ing the last ten years of the Spanish
occupation. This statement was based
upon information obtained at the Span
ism legation and the United States bu-

MR.. THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, May 26.-United States
Minister W. W. Thomas, Jr., who has
just reached this country ON leave Of
absence from his post in Sweden and
Norway, called at the State Department
t6day to pay his respects to Secretary Hay
and Assistant Secretary Hill. The min
lister had an interesting chat with the
officials respecting the condition of the
legation, which has now before it no em-
barrassing questions awaiting settlement.
He is on his way to Maine to participate
in the celebration of the anniversary of
the founding of the 1ourishing Scandi-
navian colony in that state, Of which he
has been one of the mainstays.

Wounded by Bullets %,
Fifty Other Ways.
Not a Car Hi Been Run With
out Help Of Police.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 27.-This is the
twentieth day of the street railway strike
and the end seems as far away as ever,
both the Transit company and its en-
ployes standing firm. Not car on the
Transit company's system has been run
since the strike began without police pro
lection. In consequence there not being
enough police to guard the 500 or more
cars usually operated, less than quarter
Of that number has been run By the com =
pany over only part of its twenty-five
divisions and lines. Since the strike be-
gan there have been numerous collisions
between the police and the strikers and
the latter's sympathizers. The list of
casualties shows four persons shot and
killed, % wounded by bullets and fifty
or more injured in other ways.
Two of the killed We're innocent by
ISLANDERS, the others being striking
motorman and an emergency policeman.
Several of the wounded are in critical
condition and may die. 1t is said by
the strikers that less than fifty of their
number, 3,325, who struck have returned
TO work. These, with the street car men
imported from other cities, are operating
the Transit company's cars. 1t is asserted
that at least fifty Of the imported men
have joined the strikers. The points of
issue between the company and its strik-
ing employees have been agreed to except
that of reinstating all the men who went
out of their old positions. The company
refuses to displace the men hired since
the strike began while the strikers decline
to sign any agreement that does not give
all the old men their places again.
A meeting of citizens has been called
for tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of
discussing plans for Che amicable settle
ment of the strike. To-day was unevent-
full. The first cars to run over the Tran
sit company's lines since 10 "a m, Satur-
day, were sent out this morning. The
day being fair the cars >were crowded
from early morning until p. m, when
they ceased running.

People Fleeing From
Interior to Manila.
Proceedings Against Gen. Funs-
ton Have Been Stopped.

Manila, May 27.-Scouting, small en-
gagements and capture Of arms and
prisoners contintOtlaily In northern Lu-
ron. Last weeks operations by the 9th,
18th, 83rd, 34th and Both regiments re-
suited in the killing of 46 Of the enemy,
the taking of 1s0 prisoners and the capt
ure of 800 rifles and quantity Of ammu-
milton.
Col. Edward E. Hardin, with three
companies of the Goth regiments and
blue jsskets from the gunboat Helena
landed at Palonog, Masbet island, under
the enemy's fire, routed the insurgents
and, after an engagement lasting half
an hour occupied the town, without cas-
ualtles.
The insurgent commander, with twenty
officers and two hundred and thirty men
SURRENDERED ON May 30, giving up hun
dred rifles. An impressive scene occurred
on the plaza, when the prisoners were
disar1ned and liberated. The islanders
We're fou nd suffering from lack of food,
owing to the blockade, and the American
authorities are endeavoring to relieve
them.
Peace now reigns and no trouble is ex-
pected in Manila, although the city is
crowded with people from the provinces
who are leaving the unprotected hamlets
in order to avoid the conscription which
the insurgent leaders are enforcing, as
we'll as robbery and outrages at the
hands of rowing insurgents and bandits.
The investigation of the charge against
Brigalier General Frederick Funston
of having summarily executed two ma
tives in the province of zanbales has
resulted in disoontinuance Of the pro
ceedings. 1t developed the fact that
General Funston caught the natives In
the very act of numbering bound Maca-
bebe scouts, his action in view of the
circumstances being regarded as justif-
able.

Shanghai, May 27.-Reports received

are extremely critical, owing to the de-
feat of the government troops by the
Boxers. 1t is now regarded here as GER
tain that foreign troops must be sent to

FOR EXPANSION.
Sentiment Was Rife az Baptist Society
Anniversary Meetings.

Detroit, Mich, May 27.-Expansion
sentiment was rife at the missio nary
mass meeting held tonight as one Of the
features Of the American Baptist Mission
ary anniversaries. DR.. Wayland Hoyt
of Philadelphia argued eloquently for
expansion in missionary effort keeping
pace at least with the progress Of the
Anne rican flag.
Madison Q. Peters. DID, also argued
strongly for political and religious expan-
sion in his address concerning expansion
of the work of the Baptist Home Mission
society. pSss
Rev. Theodore G. Soares, Phi. D., Of
Illinois, spoke along similar hpes in
relation TO the work of the Baptist Mis-
sionary (foreign) union.
One Of the Sunday features was the

sionary chapel car Herald Of Hope"

steamboats can't ACCOMMODATE tFevpfe
Getting Ont.
London, May 2s.--The Lourenzo Mar
quez correspondent Of the Times in a
despatch dated Saturday says:
During the week the Beers have sue
cessfully deceived even the best informed
residents with reference to the probable
course of events when Lord Roberts
entered the Transvaal. While one section
declares that all serious fighting is ended
another is equally convinced that the
burghers will make a stand at Johannes
burg and Pretoria. =
"Men who have been present at the re-
cent engagements describe them not as
strategical retreats, but as ignominious
routs, wholly unjustified by the initial
damage inflicted by the British. Such
observers are convinced that all opera
tions of u military interest are now at
an end.
Capt. Alum, the Norwegian military
attache, is returning home. Indeed, so
great is the eagerness of con ntinental
residents TO quit the Transvaal that both
the German and French steamers are
unable to cope with the demand for
berths.
"It is rumored here that the Cape rebel
leaders who are now serving with the
Beers are anxious to escape to Europe
and that certain members of the Cape
parliament are waiting ON the borders
for favorable opportunity to start"
