TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES
EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES
FALL OFF.
Increased Shipments to Europe, Asia,
Africa and South Ameri-
can Countries.

Importations of merchandise into the
Philippine Islands for the first three quar-
ters of 1900 showed an increase Of $6SS, ,321,
or 72 per cent, over the amount for the
same period of 1899, according to state
ment made public by the division OF fnsu-
lar affairs Of the War Department today.
During the period stated OF 1900 merchan-
disc to the value of 81, 571 972 came into the
Philippines from the United States, while
in 1899 the figures were s913,651.
The total value of merchandise imported
from all countries from January to Octo-
Der Of 1900 was 81, 1S7, 991. as against S14-
1882 during the same period Of the pre-
ceding year. This shows an increase of
s., ,O24, 749, or 21 per cent European and
Asiatic countries combined sent over &15.-
0O0, 600 worth of the total importation In
1900. An Interesting fact is noted in the
shape Of an import trade, worth $3.OOS,
from Africa in 1900, as against an entire
absence Of this trade the preceding year.
The above figures relative to the imports
from the United States represent direct
shipments only, and do not include mer-
chandise from the United States invoiced
to Hong Kong and from there reshipped
to Manila.
The comparative figures as to exports to
the rest Of the world show an increase
double that noted in the import trade. Mer-
ChanQ1Se exported from Ine fnlllpplueS 70
other countries in 1900 were valued at $l7,-
SS3, 200; for 1899 it was valued at s11 ,993 =
OIL, thus showing an increase Of $3.50. .1sa.
or 40 per cent.
But the exports to the United States
showed a decrease Of s726, $40 in 1900, as
compared with the stated period Of 1899,
WHILE on the other hand, the expectations
to European, Asiatic, African and South
American countries showed material In
creases in each case the exports to Europe
increasing from 81. 437, ,ss7 in 1899 to 50, $50 :
1O9 in 1900 Merchandise to the value Of
81, ,467 was exported to South America in
1900. as against no trade of this sort In
1S99 The expectation Of hemp from the
Philippines during the first three quarters
of 1900 were valued at $lO23.142, as
against So, 4OS. $50 during the same period OF
1899.

EAGER FOR CLOSER UNION.
Porto Rico Wants Free Trade With
the United States

Secretary Hunt of Porto Rico has made q
statement In regard to the financial and
political situation in Porto Rico and the
probable results of the Foraker law and
the recent Supreme Court decisions. in
which he said:
Financially the island Is doing fairly
well. The business men are realizing that
credits with the United States must be
established and Spanish credits cut off.
The trade Of Porto Rico will be Immensely
stimulated. however by free trade with
the United States, and the people want IT.
Ihe present form of government is satis-
factory to the more conservative element
Naturally there is laudable ambition to
ADVANCE at once to territorial government
ana complete citizenship. yet 1t is believed
by many OF the people that the surest way
to get to this end is by gradual processes
wherein they can accustom themselves to
American institutions. In the end, such
men say, 1t will be the quickest
The years experience has confirmed the
wisdom of the Foraker law. Its powers are
suffcient for the present, while its limita.
tions are wholesome.
1t Is the earnest desire Of the govern.
ment of the island to expedite free trade
with the United States, but we have to
put Into operation the new local revenue
law before notifying the President that a
revenue system prevails which will meet
public expenses. This law will obtain July
l, and after We have observed its opera
tion we confidently hope for results justi-
tying the passage Of the Joint resolution
referred to.
With no duties on sugar and fruits ana
With better understanding OF the Amer
lean government, and capital going into
Porto Rico. its future looks particularly
bright.
Conditions in Porto Rico must be judged
by conditions Just before American occu-
patton and with recollection OF the terrible
devastation wrought by the hurricane OF
1889 and with reference to other tropical
islands From these standpoints very great
progress is to be recorded. The people are
encouraged now and have grown more self
helpful. Close observation tells me they
are steadily improving and every day
makes me feel more certain that the peo-
pie are gentle, well-disposed and respons-
I've. The full force Of the recent decision OF
the Supreme Court cannot be understood in
Porto Rico as yet-indeed. IL is stin the
subject of animated discussion in the
United States, judging by the papers, and
until 1t is generally known just how far
the court went sentiment will not crystal
lie In either land"

The Engineers scored one run In the

In the ninth inning the Marines added
three more runs to their column on two
