the PERMISSION OF the president 10 IN
spect army conditions there"
Washington, Aug. 25.-Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw ordered the dismiss
sal from the treasury department of
Lorenzo G.. Warfield, clerk in the iivi-
sion of bookkeeping and warrants. The
attention of the department was called
a few days ago to a circular said to
have been issued by an organization of
which Warfield was treasurer. The cir
cular gave plans of the proposed as
ISOLATION by which stockholders could
probably reap large returns from a
scheme to play the races. One clause
in the circular cited the fact that War;
field held an important position in the
treasury, and gave this as an evidence
of the responsibility of the association.
The dismissal was based upon the use
of the departments name in this con-
nection.
Secretary Shaw has returned to
Washington and will remain till toward
the end of the week, when he will go
to his Vermont home to meet President
Roosevelt. Attorney General Knox
will sail for France Wednesday or the
steamship Oceanic.

S45, 900 900 less than the importations,
a fact attributed to the destruction of
property and damage to agriculture
caused by war. The United States fur
nished AZ per cent of the imports. and
took rs per cent of the exports. Prac-
tically all the sugar went to the United
States. The balance of trade was de-
cidedly in favor of Cuba, though not so
great as in former years, and it is re-
marked that the trade of the United
States has not kept pace in any of the
Latin-American countries with its Won
derful strides in other parts of the
