CUBANTRADE GROWS
Division of Insular Affairs Explains
the Recent Statement.
GOLD AND SILVER WAS INCLUDED
Exports to the Island Have
Increased.

Washington, April 29-In a recent state
ment given to the press by the division
OF insular affairs Of the war department
a considerable loss was indicated in the
trade OF Cuba with the United States for
the first eight months of 1900 compared
with the same period Of 1899. It is now
explained by the division Of insular af-
fairs that the value of gold and silver
coin and bullion was included. Eliminat-
ing the coin shipments there is an in
crease of $1,222, ,205 for the first eight
months Of 1900 over the same period of
1899.
comparison with the importation of
merchandise into Cuba from the United
Kingdom for the same period shows an
increase in favor of 1900 of 3S.5 per cent,
and from Germany Of 1913 per cent. 1t is
said at the war department the increase
is not so very large when it is consid-
cred in relation with the United States
figures. These English and German fig
ures are expected to continue to rise until
the United Kingdom and Germany secure
their proportionate shares in other trop-
ical countries.
AS the tariff regulations operate upon
all countries alike exports from Ger
many, France, Spain, the United King
dom to Cuba will depend on business
methods. There are isolated cases of
Cuban merchants trying to substitute
American products for Spanish on senti-
mental grounds, but that their efforts
proved very successful cannot be shown
The Cubans. like the Mexicans, have come
to prefer the goods of European make,
and European manufacturers who make
the goods expressly for that market.
Exports Maintained,
The apparent loss in the expectations
from Cuba to the United States during
the 1900 period as compared with the 1899
period is accounted for by the division
as follows:
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 irsular affairs did not
disclose the final destination of this com
modify. It is not possible now to deter
mine the exact amounts that should be
credited to the United States, and to the
rest of the world. The division concludes
that instead of there being a loss in the
export trade of Cuba to the United States,
it is not only maintained but is increas-
ing.

WAR WITH GERMANY
Naval Officers Share the Opinion of
the British Press.

Washington, April 29.-There is a
strong feeling of apprehension in the high
naval circles that the prediction of the
Saturday Review, London, that the strug
gle for preservation of the Monroe doc
trine would be precipitated by Germany,
will be realized as soon as the German
naval program has been completed.
A high naval officer, who is acquainted
with the views of Dewey and other mem
bers OF the general board, recalled the
prediction made by the admiral at Trieste,
that Americas next war would be with
Germany, and that it would not be of her
seeking.
The admiral is confident that unless
there is some radical change in the atti-
tude Of that European sovereign, either
the United States must abandon the Mon
roe doctrine or must take measures for
preserving 1t. The way to avoid trouble,
the officer who discussed the matter said,
is to make such preparations that Ger
many will be deferred from assuming a
hostile attitude.

BUILDING FUND GROWING
YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCI-
 1TION
Making Strenuous Efforts to Reach inc Desired Amount-Reporto ofthe Efforts Up to Date.

Plans of all kinds are being put in op- eration at the Y. M c. A. headquarters to secure the amount still needed before September 1. If any one escapes being solicited it certainly will not be inten- tional. Subscriptions for any amount are now being received.
 As the work progresses on the new building it reveals the keen insight of the management Everything is work ing in perfect harmony, and the various departments of the building are so planned that they all fit in together beautifully. A young man living in the building will certainly have advntages that will surpass accommodations offer CT by any other associa tion in the coun- try Just imagine how delightful 1t will be for a young man who is about ready to retire on warm summers night to
 step across the hallway and enjoy a
 shower bath in nice, clean marble bathroom or how pleasant 1t will be for this same young man toi get up on cold winter morning and find his room well supplied with steam heat. It must
 also be borne in mind that while the young man is enjoying all these privi- leges the association is receiving a good income from these dornitories and at the same time doing, the work that
 should be done in every we'll equipped
 association.
 During the visit of the directors and
 building committee to the building, on
 Monday evening the arrangements Tor
 this part of the building were greatly
 admired. Rooms can be rented for S2 q
 week, while some of the better rooms will bring S5. It required just one hour
 and fifteen minutes for the directors
 and building committee to go over the entire building, making a visit to each room.
 The latest plan for calling the atten- tion of the public to the building can vass is the large net banner which will
 be swung across Chapel street from
 Harris sign shop to-day about noon
 This will contain the amount of money vet to be secured and the amount will
 be changed daily. The officers have a
 surprise in store for the public to-day
 as they have not given out the amount
 secured for the past twenty-four hours.
