much.

Therefore. you would not have congress OF all

pass resolutions regarding arbitration, you
could not enforce il against Chilli. This con-
gress must include all the different American
republics. ard the action Of this committee
is only irovisory. il seems right that the prin-
ciples should be made such VIII admit all

The Minister Of Ecuador-It is a matter for

IMPORTS OF coTroN GOODS INTO CUBA.

METHODS, REPORT SAYS. TO IN
CREASE TRADE

Washington Aug. A comparative statement Of
the imports of cotton goods into Cuba in 1899 and
1890 has been prepared for publication in divi-
sion OF insular affairs OF the War Department
The statement shows that cotton goods to the
value Of S6079,757 imported during 1900 as
against sGZ25,057 during 1893. The statement also
shows that the United Kingdom sent 10 Cuba In
1900 81 1907 worth of cotton goods. an increase
over 1899 OF S7732s2. In 1889 Cuba took from the
United States 81 S37 7Ii worth while In 1860 she took
only S420,l42 worth.
The comparison for other countries presents
some Interesting features. In 1889 Germans cotton
trade N4l,5l5, and in 1900. $34l 1853; Frances
S4O3 49o ia 1889 and s5l S7S in 1900: Spains S2l22
in 1888 and 81 ,605 745 in 1860.
The statement says the unfavorable comparson
in the United States trade for TIE years mentioned
Is accounted for IN measure by the conditions
prevailing In 1899. The Cuban people through Ionr
use, have come TO prefer goods OF European make
