CUBAN TRADE REVIEWED.
British Merchants Must Hustle to Set Busl-
ness AdvIces Combinations.

London. Sept. b.-The report of the Brit
ish minister at Havana. Mr.. Garden on
the trade OF Cuba for 1902 was issued to-
day. He says:
'"rhe prospect Of the reciprocity con-
vention between Cuba and the United
States being eventually sanctioned by
congress has not failed TO affect British
trade, by lettering Cuban merchants
from accepting proposals to open up
business relations with British manufac-
turers.
There can be no doubt that with or
without the reciprocity convention British
merchants will have TO bestir themselves
II they wish to retain their present shar re
OF Cuban trade. Combination alone Is
likely 10 prove effective In maintaining
our commercial position IN this part of
the continent"
Reviewing Cuban trade as q whole Mr..
Garden says
"The results for 1909. though not SO
good as might have been expected In view
OF the large production OF sugar. were by
no means bad. 1t is encouraging TO note
the steady increase In vegetables for ex-
port and the development OF Cuba's re-
sources, other than tobacco and sugar"

SYSTEM
Consular Service Appointments
VIII Be Made on This
Basis Hereafter.

Oyster Bay, NJ Y, Sept. 5.--An Inn
portant change OF policy with respect to
the making OF appointments in the con-
President Roosevelt. He discussed the
change yesterday with Assistant secrs-
tary or state Francis b. Loomis.
For many years 1t has been practically
the uniform method OF presidents TO APP
point men TO position in the consular SER
vice substantially without reference to
whatever previously experience they,
may have had.
President Roosevelt, after consultation
with Secretary Hay, Assistant Secretary
Loomis and members OF his cabinet not
Immediately identified with the state de-
partment, has determined TO appoint
hereafter to important places In the con-
sular service men who already are In the
service and have had that experience and
training in minor positions which will
render them the more capable OF filing
places OF higher grade and greater im-
pCrtance.
The change In policy does not extend
the civil service 10 the consular service
and IL does not extend. necessarily
consul's tenure OF office at any particular
place. but. IL is pointed out, II does give
reasonable assurance TO the manufactur-
ing and commercial interests OF the
United States. which particularly are in
terested in the extension OF the country's
foreign trade. that In a comparatively
brief time all important consular situa-
tions will be filled not only by men OF
character and ability. but by men who by
training and experience are specially
qualified to advance the trade interests OF
the United states.
Secretary Loomis discussed with the
president several appointments In the SER
vice that are to be made soon. II is un-
derstood that all OF the appointees will be
men who now are filling places OF lesser
Importance In the service. They are to be
promoted. and, in turn their places will
be filled by men who have not had the ex-
perience they have had
Mr.. Loomis will leave today for north
ern Maine. where, 70 miles from a railroad
he expects TO spend three weeks In hunt
ing and fishing. The last week In Septem-
ber he will pass a few days with the
German Ambassador. Baron Won Stern
berg at The Weirs. n. H. Just before he
returns to Washington he will deliver a
