'Tt Is a remarkable fact that any one ward in Philadelphia-you might al most say any one division of one ward contributes -c more to charity in one week than the Paris exposition did dur ing it's entire run," said a young man of the Quaker City who has just re- turned from the French capital.

LOSS TURNED TO GAIN.
A Better Face Put Upon Reports of
Trade With Cuba

Washington April 29.-In a recent
statement given to the press by the dl-
vision of insular affairs of the war de-
partment, a considerable loss was moi
Gated in the trade of Cuba with the
United States for the first eight months
of 1900, as compared with the same Pc
riod of 1899. It is now explained b. 4ne
division of inSular affairs that in the
statement above referred to the value
of gold and silver coin and bullion was
included in the total value Of comm cree
between Cuban and the United states
Eliminating the coin shipments, II IS
ascertained that instead of there be-
ing a decrease in the value of imports
into Cuba from the United States there
is an increase of 81. 222,205 for the first
eight months of 1900 over the same pc
Rod of 1899 A comparison with the i'm
portation of merchandise into Cuba
from the United Kingdom for the same
period shows an increase in favor OF 1900
of 38.5 per cent, and from Germany or
1853 per cent These percents look form
liable, but it is said at the war de-
partment the amounts of increase
are not so very large when they are
considered in relation to the totals of
i'm portation or in relation to the United
States figures.
The apparent loss in the exporta lions
from Cuba to the United States during
the 1900 period as compared with the 1882
period as shown by the gures N 5ne
is accounted for by the division as fol-
The explanation will be found in the
item of tobacco. especially in that of eli
gars. The greater part of the tobacco
shipped to Europe goes by way of New
York and during the first nine months OF
1899 when heavy shipments were made
the reports to the division of insular at
fairs did not disclose the final destina-
ton of this commodity It Is not possible
now to determine the exact amounts that
should be credited to the United States
and to the rest of the world, Europe al
most exclusively. but judging the exporta-
tons of 1899 by those Of 1909; it is reason ~
able to assume that at least 81 100000
worth of tobacco, chiefly cigars. destined
for Europe. more particularly Germany
the United States.
The statement issued by the division in
conclusion says that it therefore appears
that instead of there being loss in the
export trade of Cuba to the United States,
the same is not only being maintained,
but it is increasing.

MANCHURIA'S SITUATION.
Commerce Has Been Revived and the
Natives Pacifed.

New York, April 29.-General D'Arta-
MANOR, an officer of the Russian army,
who has been on duty in Manchuria, and
VINO IS returning to St. Petersburg by
way of the United States has arrived in
Washington. Speaking of affairs in
Manchuria to Herald correspondent
last night, he said:
There has been a marked improve
ment IN conditions and the country is
now pacified. Commerce is being re-
vived, navigation has been resumed, peo-
pie are again at work on their farms.
and the natives are being handsomely
paid for their work on the great trans
continental railroad. The Russian army
is being gradually reduced and in view
of this fact the statements that have
been published that Russia has improper
designs on that country are ridiculous
and absurd. The military operations of
the Russians were not directed against
the people of Manchuria, but against
the Chinese army which had been sent
there.
Our treatment of the people was most
friendly and humane. In this regard we
were simply carrying out the absolute
orders of the imperial authorities both
those of the car and the commander in
chief of the military and naval forces,
Admiral Alexieff- There is q vast differ
ence between the conditions existing in
Manchuria and those in the province of
Pc Chi L. in which PeIxin is situated.
In the former the people are tranquil
and the country prosperous, while in the
latter the conditions are, in many re-
spects, the reverse There is absolutely
no foundation for stories of cruelty and
butchery by the Cossacxs, and these
statements do the Russians a great in
justice. Our course throughout is in
keeping with the imeprial orders to be
humane.
