FROM NEWPORT NEWS.
An agreement Formed to Control All
Foreign Traffic.

New York. oct. G.-From most reliable
sources it has been learned that an ar
raugcmtnt has been entered into by the
railroads and steamship lines running to
and operating from NewpoT News and
Norfolk. whereby the foreign traffic of gen
.rUl cargoeS for those ports, with the cN-
ception of fun carCOcs Of grain and coal
has been placed under one management
and that the United States Shipping Com
pauy has become the agent in control by
his new agreement. The compact amounts
practically TO AN am~aigafn3tlOn Of the for
eign Of the two Virginia ports.
BY the terms Of the agreement the United
STATES Shipping Company viii hereafter

folk and Western Railroad, also Of the
Southern Railroad from the ports named.

al heir separate lines. Tn" United States
shipping Company will continue its work

ONO at Newport News. In addition TO the
roads uamtd the Shipping Company also
has Il working agreement with IA" Sea

at Norfolk.
Shipping Company says, that the company
has become the agent for foreign traffic I'M

He also said that tn" IAiJei states Ship

The Union Line to HAMBURG. tn Donald

and the Lord Lin" TO Belfast and Dublin

Oct. l6, 1889. determined by the CEN

The latest census taken under Spanish
authority was in 1887. The total pop
ulation as returned by that census was
l,6Sl.6ST Whether that census was
correct may be a matter OF discussion.
but If incorrect. the number of inhabi-
tants was certainly not overstated.
Comparing the total population OF
these two censuses. Il Is seen that the
loss In the twelve years amounted to
5s,sse. or 3.6 per cent OF the popula-
tion in 1887. This loss Is attributable
to the recent civil war and the recon
eentration policy accompanying 1t. but
the figures express only part OF the
loss from this cause. Judging from the
earlier history OF the island and the
excess of births over deaths. as shown
by the registration records, however
imperfect they may be. the popula-
tion probably increased from 1887 up
to the beginning OF the war, and at
the latter epoch reached total OF little
less than 1.sO0.0 900. 1t is probable.
therefore, that the direct and indirect
losses by the war and the reconcentra-
tion policy. including decrease of
births and of immigration. reached n
total OF approximately goo 900. Havana
province, in which most OF the recon
centrados were collected. sustained a
relatively small loss in population
Indeed. the population of Havana dis
trict. including the city OF Havana. in
creased from 200. .4ls in 1887 to 242. .o55
in 1899. while nearly every other dis
trict OF the province lost population
Pinar del Rio and Matanzas. lying on
either side Of Havana. lost nearly equa
numbers and proportions OF inhabi-
tants. Santa Clara. lying beyond
Matanzas to the eastward remained al
most at standstill. while Puerto Prin-
cipe and Santiago, still farther to the
eastward and farther removed from
the center OF hostilitles. gained greatly.
the increase being probably due not
only to natural increase. but to the mi
grafton of people away from the cen
ter OF disturbance.
