Possible Change of Policy-Sir Charles
Dixie Warns Against Hasty Over
turning of Prccedents.

London, Jan. Lord Rose berry
writes as follows this morning to the
Times:
There are disquieting intimations
which appear to point to our govern
ment having treated foodstuffs as con-
traband of war, As this is matter of
supreme importance, I venture to ad-
dress this line to you in the hope that
it may elicit an authoritative statement
on the subject. !"
The Times, commenting editorially
upon Lord Roseberry's letter. says.
Too little is known Of the seizures
for any valid inference safely to be
drawn. An emergency might arise
when certain foodstuffs would be re-
garded as contraband while others
would not. especially if the latter were
intended for concombatants. There
might, for instance, be reasonable
grounds for treating canned goods as
contraband and -four as legitimate. I"
After admitting that it would be
unadvisable to create a precedent which
might some day be invoked against
us, the article concludes as follows;
while we fully share the view that
no serious change of policy should oc-
cur without cogent reasons and ample
consideration. we cannot but ask our.
selves whether, in the event of Great
Britain being engaged in war, the
action, either Of the enemy or even Of
neutral powers, in a matter upon
which such great divergence OF opinion
still exists Is likely to be governed by
any precedent we or any one else may
have set in the past, rather than by the
immediate interests of the mement.n

A DOUBLE TREATY.
Portuguese South Africa Is to Be Di-
vided Up.

vided Up.
New York, Jan. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says:
The Lokal Anzieger publishes the
contents of the German English Portu-
guese secret treaty. This double treaty
will have executive force as soon as the
Swiss jurists, Messrs. Blaesi-H Hensley
and Goldau, have given a decision in
the Delagoa bay arbitration.
The decision, it is expected, will be
given in January or February and will
probably be in favor Of England, in
which case Portugal must pay to Eng
land and America an indemnity of e1,-
900, 1000. England obtained in 1891
from Portugal the right of pre-emption
in Delagoa bay, and the cessien of Del.
egea bay to England may therefore be
expected In March next.
1t is possible that President Kruger
may now declare war on Portugal and
attack Delagoa at once.
In order to prevent any interference
by France OF Russia, Enlgand con-
cluded a secret treaty with Germany
regarding the complete partition of the
Portuguese colonial possessions. Ger
many is to receive all the Portuguese
possessions in Asia, with 20, 900 square
miles OF territory and 100000 inhab-
itants, Germany further receives in
Africa all Portuguese territory north OF
Mozambique, except a strip OF land
three miles wide, for Mr.. Cecil Rhodes
trans African railway. For this the
German government will pay Portugal
25, 900, 900 marks.

smporary Reaction From the Heaviest
Holiday Trade ON Record.

Temporary Reaction From the Heaviest
Holiday Trade on Record.
Bradstreet's says: Holiday influence
and stock-taking impart an appearance
of dullness to general distributive trade,
broken, however, by fair activity in
recorder business to fill up stocks de-
pleted by the heaviest holiday trade
that has ever been experienced.
Anticipation of spring trade wants
has given more than ordinarily ac-
tive appearance to business in dry
goods at New York, while in industrial
lines the efforts of manufacturers to
keep up with filled order-books is re-
sulting in unusually active operations.
Following the furry in money, stocks
and in some lines of speculative COM
modities noted last week, has come, as
was expected, more cheerful tone,
and firming up in quotations is noted
In such staples as cotton, which was
effected by last weeks money develop
ments, and also in hog products, cof-
fee, copper, tin and lead. The strength
of textiles is still feature which finds
justification in current statistics of
larger seasons receipts and sales OF
wool, and in reports of enlarged old
and heavily increased new capacity in
manufacturing lines.
In iron and steel, seasonable quiet as
regards new business is observable, but
unabated activity on earlier booked
orders is reported. In some cases, no
shutdown was made for the holidays
by mills and furnaces.
Wheat (including four) shipments
for the week aggregate s,610, ,557 BUSH
els, agaist 2,813,714 bushels last week,
6,292, 1925 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1898. 5,495,0 061 bushels in
1895.
For the year, failures are the smallest
in number for II years past, and were
it not for few heavy fancial suspen-
sions in Decemb Der, liabilities, which
will exceed those of 1892 slightly,
would have been smallest for II years

NOT American YesseIa.

Port Townsend, Jan. 1.-The pur-
chase of foreign vessels by the United
States government for use as transports
during the Spanish-American war and
their subsequent sale by the govern
ment to private citizens has resulted in
complicating matters for purchasers
from the fact that after purchase of
suchsvessels the government refuses to
allow them to be docpmented in the
United States as American vessels.
The case in point is the steamship
Scipio, which was recently sold by the
navy departments and was afterwards
refused Recommendation. The purchaser
applied to the secretary Of the treasury,
asking that if he should break the
Scipio up, whether the material OF
which she was constructed would be
subject to duty If sold in the United
States. Yesterday Collector Heustis
received a circular letter covering the
above case from the treasury depart
ment in which Acting Secretary Spaul.
ding says that upon the sale of said
vessel in port of the United States
the material or materials taken there
from would not be regarded as an im-
portation within the meaning of the
customs laws, and would therefore be-
exempt from duty.

occupied Cabuyao, on the south side
of Laguna de Bay. Two Americans

alton of the troops from the cascoes,
which was made under the enemy's
shrapnel FIRE. The enemy evacuated
the place before the charging Ameri-
cans, retreating to Santa Rosa, to
which town they were pursued.
Heavy fighting occurred along the
road to Santa Rosa, which was occu-
pied by the insurgents, retreating south
toward Silan. The Americans burned
the country around Cabuyao.
The gunhoat returned to Calamba,
for reinforcements. and thence came
to Manila to get ammunition. She
recently captured two of the enemy's
steam launches, one under the fire OF
artillery, at Calamba, and also four
cascoes loaded with rice. Other regi-
ments are mobilizing tonight at San
Pedro Macati and Pasig, preparatory to
continuing the southern advance.

rise against the Americans. Papers
were also found showing distribution
of the city into districts. and careful
assignment of leaders and followers.
The precautions taken by the Ameri-
cans Saturday, it is now evident, alone
prevented an uprising.
The provost marshal has requested
that two more regiments be detained
for the protection of Manila. Three
thousand troops are now actually in
the city.
Aguinaldo'a wife, sisters and 1S
Filipinos have surrendered to Major
March's battalion of the Third infantry

brother OF the president of the Orange

Matt, Steyn, acting as spokesman OF
the party, is reported to have told the
president that he was only authorised
to intervene in the interest of peace.
and that the burghers did not feel that
they were bound by his etunwarrantable
conduct" especially as they ran the
risk of confscation OF their property,
and they simply desried to be permitted

diately return to their farms.

Philippfne Hemp Trade.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Assistant Sec
retray OF War Meiklejohn, in letter
to Representative Long, of Kansas, re-
garding the opening of the hemp ports
in the Philippine islands, says:
'tThe estimated exports of hemp
from the Philippine islands for one
year of American occupation will ap-
proximate 100000 tons, of which
amount 5000 tons should be credited
to the United States. This places the
estimated exports to the United States
for the year Of American occupation
at about IL. 900 tons less than the ex-
ports of 1897. This is accounted for
by the fact that there have been opened
for shipment only three ports of the
Philippine islands.
every effort has been made by the
war department. in the past and will be
made in the future to comply with re-
quests to open all the so-called hemp
ports OF the islands,
