MANILA, Aug. 2G.-In the city

effective soldiers aud il has been decid

for the increase is that the guard dut!

Consular Agent Harris at Eibenstock
showing the extent Of Germany's grain
importation from Russia and from the

Germany S27.3024l0 worth more Of
grain than did the United States but in
1900 the United States was only ST.

val. The only \hing which will enable
the United States to compete success
