$12.SS7.4T to $16, 7S5, Ill. Comparing present conditions with those of 1s9s. it appears that our imports from Spain have in- creased from s. sos, ,3OS in 1898, to the above mentioned figure, s1,O40756; and our ex- ports to Spain from sS,050 4.5 in 1S9S to $16- 1S5.Il1 as already stated
 This growth in the commerce With Spain is especially interesting at the pres ent moment. in view of the fact that our exports to many of the other European countries show a decline. In the calen- dar year 1901 our exports to Austria Hungary. France, Germany, Greece, It. ally. Portugal, Russia Sweden and Nor way, Switzerland and the United King dom show a decrease as compared with 1900. while to Spain they show an in- crease from o.200. 9l1 to $l5 1So.l1. On the import side. our imports from Austria Hungary. Germany. Russia. Sweden and Norway and Switzerla nu show a decrease, while those from Spain have increased from s5,3S2.662 in 1900 to a,Hu.I5d in 1901.
 The exports from the United States to Spain are chiefly articles for use in man ufacturing-cotton lumber. crude miner als. oil and tobacco being the principal articles in the list, by far the largest in the list being cotton. Our imports from Spain are chiefly fruits and nuts. wines. chemicals. corks and cork bark. and iron ore of special grade not readily produced in the CntSi States. Lemons and oranges form much smaller pro- portion of the imports now than few NeF"s ago. due to the fact that citrus fruits are now largely produced in the United States. The importation of rasns has also greatly reduced in value. hy req son of the increased production of rai- sins in the Tinted States. Imports of preserved and other fruits from Spain have. on the other hand. increased. as have also those of almonds and other nuts.

DECISIVE BATTLE SOON
PRESIDENT CASTRO RIsKING ALL ON
COMING ENGAGEMENT.
Result Probably VIII Decide whether
Venezuela VIII BE Controlled by
the RevoIutionists.
Correspondence of tne Assoelated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao. May
6-After the severe defeat which the
troops of General Castro, Of Venezuela,
suffered at the hands of the revolutionists
at Guana-Guana April %, when they lost
1000 men, twelve pieces of cannon and
forty-seven officers. including colonies and
generals, one would have thought the revo-
luton was in a fair way to succeed and
that the revolutionists would have i'm
proved their notable success of that day
by making for the center of the country
which, up to the present time. has not
stirred, although il is heart and soul with
the revolution. But such was not the case.
The revolutionary forces. under COM
mand of Generals Rolando and Penaloza.
occupied Cumana April 26, and. after a
murderous battle. which lasted six hours
in the streets of Carupano. took posses
sion of that town on the evening of April
20 May l. therefore, the revolutionists
were in possession of the ports of Cumana
Carupano and Tacatas and had entirely
ceased to be a negligible quantity. Hav-
ing learned, however that the govern
ment had sent reinforcements to BARGE
Iona, under command of Gen. Vicente Co
meZ, second vice president OF the republic,
the revolutionists evacuated Cumana May
/. without firing a shot. The next day
Carupano was evacuated by the rebels and
occupied by President Castros forces.
In leaving these towns and ports In their
possession the revolutionists seem TO have
been acting pursuant TO a programmed
plan, for on May they modified into one
army, to the number of 1000 foot and LOCO
horse, under the command of Generals
Monagas. Penalosa, Rolando and Du-
charme, in the environs of Maturim, and
there they still are. This district is quite
inaccessible to any one not perfectly ac-
quainted with the nature of the country.
In the meanwhile President Castro, who
is showing great energy, called up his IA
nous Andinos and has sent to Cumana
with astonishing rapidity nearly five thou
sand well-selected and well-armed troops.
There they are waiting TO engage the revo-
Iutionists, and the result of this en-
gagement much depends. This is the only
army on which President Cairo can now
rely, and to equip and maintain il he has
spent the last of the national money avail
able
The coming struggle will be resolute on
both sides, with the President of the repub-
lie for Castro or for Matos. the revolu-
tionary leader at stake. Both armies are
we'll armed and amply supplied with am
munition and the leaders are veterans and
DESTROYS OF glory. The revolutionists have
an advantage in their intimate knowledge
of the country In which the coming en-
gagement will take place, but otherwise the
contending forces are fairly well matched.

Coy was twice saved by the bell in a six
round bout with kid" Carter at Industrial
Hall tonight. He was knocked down five
times, and was much the weaker at the
finish, although Carter was badly pun
ished. During the first round Mccoy had
all the advantage, but in the second he
was floored by a blow on the jaw. and
would have been stopped but for the bell.
In the third round he was knocked down
three times, but again escaped a knock
out. He recovered in the fourth, and. al
though Carter again succeeded in putting
him to the floor, Mccoy, in turn, had his
opponent almost out. In the fifth and sixth
rounds Mccoy kept away from Carter S
vicious swings, but he was 'groggy' at
the finish, and Carter though showing
more evidence of rough usuage had con-
siderably the better of the bout.

THE FATHER OF MEXICO.
Porfrio Diaz, Who Found Chaos and
Made Great Nation.
New York Press.


Mexico, before Porfrio Diaz became her
President, belonged 70 a semi-barbaric
past, and his request 10 the Congress of
that republic for indefinite leave of alb
sence for the restoration of his health, with
permission 10 travel abroad. means moth
ing less than that one OF the most re-
markable tasks of remarkable men is we'll
done and the newer Mexico firmly estab-
lished as a civilized nation. Don Jose
Limantour. who is what we would call
the secretary OF the treasury, and who
will probably be the chief executive in
Diazs absence. fairly represents the eco
nomic prosperity that has resulted from
the latter's powerful influence since his
first accession 10 the presidency in 1876
After firmly restoring order and preserv-
ing peace both at home and abroad. Diaz
has developed a high degree Of prosperity
such as was unknown in the old days dur
ing which the liberal constitution of 1857
was twice suspended.
Diaz is entitled 10 be called the father
of his country I'm something like the Wash
ington sense, for. II he found republic in
stead Of founding one. he nevertheless had
different and in some respects a more
difficult task than Washington. He did
not have a civilized Anglo-Saxon people 10
deal with, but a turbulent mixture Of
Spanish and Indian elements. with fewer
Jeffersons. Hamiltons Madtsons and Nor
rises in sight 10 help him. Probably he
came as near being the ideal man for the
time and place as any man ever came to
supplying a nations demand for maker.
Like the truly great artist on the dramatic
stage, he was not AFRAID to call 10 his sup
porting company the best men he could
md. He has been no more jealous
of good men than of good ideas which
he could borrow from the United States
or from European history. He has real
lied Emersons definition of the greatest
genius-the most indebted man. He has
acted on the principle that nothing was
too good for Mexico 10 borrow as soon as
she was ripe for IT, The world will not
withhold its approval of such selective and
constructive talent as that OF Porfirio Diaz.

work In Africa his method must be ex-
planned. He believed that missions should
be seif-supporting. In a measure he acted
of the church and with such
success as 10 arouse considerable jealousy
among certain other missionary leaders.
While he was bishop Of Africa he estab-
lished more than thirty stations. and the
funds which he obtained for the work were
raised entirely through his personal solic-
itation. These stations he later turned
over 10 the church. He was not satisfied
TO give up the work, and ais friends said
he would rather have died In harness. But
his work in Africa is the most stable
known in the worlds mission fields The
converts at each station are asked to pay
small sums in support Of their church. If
they are handled automatically they will
do this with pride. The result is that they
do not consider the Christian Church mere
" as a charity institution, but something
in which they have personal interest.
Unlike the converts which many mission
stations have made by dealing out rations
OF soup. these do not backslide. The black
children of from three TO five years of age
are brought TO the station and trained in
Christian manners as far as possible The
biggest event that could take place in one
of these mission stations was in the COM
ing Of the white-oearded bishop, who
looked like a sage and a prophet.
Parts of his last journey were made in
the South African version of a Western
prairie schooner drawn by four pairs of
oxen. When this arrived at a station or
a substation or at a village in the wilder
ness a platform was arranged in the rear
from which the bishop spoke through
black interpreter. who grinned with pride
and self-contentment.
After the meeting was over the populace
followed the wagon for miles Often when
the black people who remembered the
bishop from former visits were told that
he would never come again they wept and
wrung their hands as If they had lost a
near or dear relative. Much of the bishop
African work was in British territory.

The features of the game were the home
runs of kihm and Hogriever. both Of whom
drove the ball over the left-field fence
when there was a man on base, thus max
ing half of the visitors runs Kellum, who
was put in the box for Mr.. Watkins's
team, was retired at the end of the first
inning after Milwaukee had secured four
hits and four runs off his delivery, and
Williams, who replaced him, only allowed
the locals five hits during the remainder
of the game. Elliott went in TO pitch for
Milwaukee, but he was replaced in the
fourth after permitting the visitors TO get
four hits and three runs off him in the
previous inning. Thomas was sent in to
stem the tide, but he was in trance and
''lobbed" the ball over during the one
inning while Altrock was warming up be-
hind the bleachers to take his place at
the beginning of the next. During the re-
mainder of the game Altrock was effective,

test The supporters Of each club are con-
