AN UNAVOIDABLE SHOWING.
Cuba Prefers to Buy Cotton Goods
From Other Countries

Other countries
Washington, Aug. IA comparative
statement of the exports of cotton
goods into Cuba during the calendar
years of 1899 and 1900 has been prepar-
ed for publication in the division of in
sular affairs of the War Department.
The statement shows that cotton
goods to the value of s6.079757 were i'm
ported during 1900, as against Sc, 225, O57
during 1899.
The statement shows that the Unit
ed Kingdom sent to Cuba in 1900 ST.
s65,SO7 worth of cotton goods, as against
81, 1872. OPS for 1899, an increase in favor
of 1900 of $T73,2S2. In 1899 Cuba took
from the United States s1,3S7,741 worth.
while in 1900 she took only $420, 142
worth, decrease of $917,599.
The comparison for other countries
presents some interesting features. In
1899 Germany's cotton trade was $142,-
SIS, and in 1900. s341, 1853; Frances $403.-
400 in 1899, and S651.973 in 1900. SPANS
81, 126, 712 in 1899, and $1,605.745 in 1900.
The statement says:
1.-THE unfavorable comparison in the
United States trade for the years men,
toned is accounted for in a great
measure by the conditions prevailing
during the 1899 period. The Cuban peo-
pie through long use have come to pre-
fer goods of European make. The close
proximity of this country does not af-
feet the situation and it is reasonable
to expect that until the United States
manufacturers follow the methods of
other countries in making goods ex-
pressly for the Cuban market there
will be no decided change in her trade
relations with the United States"

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-Alderman James
w. Fitzpatrick to-day filed a suit in
the Superior Court for $4,000 damages
against j. Frank Beck and others,
constituting the Fourth Ward Com
mittee, for alleged defamation of char
acter and ridicule. The foundation for
the suit is a card that was published
in the Journal and signed by this COM

statements were made with reference
to Kilpatrick's record as an alderman.
Fitzpatrick has always voted against
the Transit Company's franchises, and
in favor of the attitude of the At

people, and the attack made by the
committee was due to this fact.

London, Aug. 1.-Sir William McCor-

Surgeons. read a paper to-day before
the British Medical Association, now
in session at Cheltenham, in which he
pointed out that the character of gun
shot wounds had completely changed
since his experience in the Franco
Prussian war (when he was surgeon
in chief to the Anglo American
ambulance). Not only was the sever
ity of the wounds diminished, but they
were also less frequent. So the i'm
provements made in weapons did not
render the prosecution of war more
difficult as contended in some quarters.
