trade and banking, but most of the bust
ness is still in the same hands as under
the Spanish occupa tion-English, Ger
mans, and Chinese Mexican silver has
always been much used, and representa-
lions were made to the United States Off
cials to induce them TO pay of the troops
and the other Government obligations in

essary to go in the market and purchase
this silver there is no trouble in seeing
what a good thing il might be made for
some Of the traders aforesaid.

coin are not predominant in the circula-
ton In the Philippines, but the Govern
ment Is steadily doing everything TO bring
that condition about. At least SIS. coo. 600

the Board of Survey of Pensacola. Fla. in
Selling the Russian ship YarkIand bound
from Belfast, Ireland. to this port. which
went ashore in the gulf beach near here
three weeks ago. has been termed an out
rageous steal and considerable Iitfgq ion
will follow.
The vessel was sold TO E. E Saunders
together with over thousand dollars
worth of rigging and equipment for only
81 500 A board OF survey from Pepsa-
cola, Fla, condemned the vessel and e
ported she could not BE saved before the
owners or consignees could secure any in
formation about her condition. Captain
Saarimi OF the Yark nd came TO This city
and informed the consignees of what had
happened. He also reported that she was
high on the beach but could be saved ny
considerable work
The agent of the Finland Insurance
Company in New York city was telegraph
ed fer and he came here today and
iibelled the vessel for the owners and a
marshal is now in charge of her. The
Yarkland IS an iron ship and = apparently
new. She Is worth many times the price

They were twins. One was fair as the
