tastic dance. The mounted Indians
dashed about the plain in an exhibition
of wild and reckless riding. following
a Sarcere chief whose partially naked
body was painted bright yellow. The
duke and duchess were greatly inter.

among them. Through the interpret

them, shaking hands with the chiefs
as they departed.
The duke and duchess were enter
tanned at luncheon at the barracks of
the mounted police after which they
went to Victoria park to witness the
rough riding. Several bucking bronchos
were first ridden across the field. after
which an unbrokeu pony was brought

into the park and lassooed. The steers
were frightened at the sight Of the
crowd. and it was with great difficulty
that the cowboys got them lariated.

snow. but the duke and duchess re-
mained and applauded the difficult
feats of horsemanship.

Is Given at $2,153, 1913, Not In
Guiding a Large Amount of
Indirect lmportations.

washington, June 30.-A marked Increase
in the trade Of the Philippine Islands during
the calendar year Of 1900 over the commerce
Of the previous year. is set out in state
ment made public to-day by the division Of
insular affairs Of the War Department.
The value of imported merchandise. gold
and silver. for 1900. Is set down at $27,765. 1oo
This. according to the War Departments
statement, was the greatest importation for
any single year in the history Of the archi-
pelago In 1888 the imports amounted 20
SIX. 44O.074 in value. thus showing an in
crease Of nearly IS per cent In favor Of
1900.
According to an estimate. based upon
data collected by the British Consul at
Manila, the approximate value Of imports
into the Philippine Islands for 1896 was ST.
sl6.eoo: for 1896. s9.2925oo. and for 1887. So
10000.
During the five years. 1Ss7-1ss1, the average
annual value of imports from the United
States amounted to $1so.6s2: during the five
years, 1Ss2-1ss6. the average annual imports
amounted to $780, 28: in 1899 the imports
were s, 357. 1874, and in 1900 s2153.19s.
The total imports from China and Hong
Kong for 1900 amounted to 1856, 443, and for
1byS, S0l,6 ga.
It has been shown. as regards the eta
tiatics OF imports into the islands from the
United States. that they do not include
large amount of merchandise that Is i'm
ported Indirectly. including such staples az
wheat. -four. meat products, cotton manu-
facturers and many other articles. A large
proportion of this trade is recorded as i'm
ports from Hong-Kong. which are undoubt-
edtly re-exported from that port to the
islands
Big Increase over 1893.
The imports from the United States d.
rect for 1900 show an increase Of 1901 ,::A
over those Of 1889, while the imports from
Hong-Kong in 1900 show material de-
crease from the estimated figures Of 1883.
This would indicate that, as the shipping
facilities in Manila harbor are being i'm
proved, direct shipments to Manila are in
creasing, and that there is a corresponding
decrease z. the transportation of merchan-
disc from Hong-kong to the Philippines.
The imports into the Philippines from the
United States direct in 1860 show an In
crease over 1899 of 50 per cent: from the
United Kingdom u per cent: from Germany
q per cent; from France 35 per cent The
imports from Spain in 1900 show a decrease
from those of 1893 Of g per cent.
The total value Of merchandise. gold and
silver exported from the Philippines during
the calendar year 1900. amounted to $26 731,
1856 against SIS. 273.sss for 1899 and an aver
age from 1880 to 1894 of $a0.526 96l.
The exports to the United States de-
creased from A.0l0,255 in 1889 to s., 96S ,8S1 in
1902
