FILIPINoS LIKE NEW MONEY.
Currency Formerly in Circulation in
the Islands Gives Place to
American Cash.

Following the recent legislation OF
congress providing for currency sys-
tenn for the Philippine islands, the Phil
lppines commission passed an act to dis
courage the further use of the currency
formerly in circulation on the islands
and designed to give the gold standard
full force and effect, states the New York
Sun. The following cable message from
the civil governor of the Philippines to
the secretary of war will show the eff
feet of this legislation:
The approach of October 1, when the
first currency taxing provisions became
effective. caused a large export of Mex
lean pesos commercially, and large in
flow OF Spanish-Filipino coin in the
treasury.
In September 1.197, 500 Mexican pesos
were exported and 53O,622 Spanish-Fil-
1pino pesos came into the treasury and
were withdrawn from circulation. Dur.
ing September tile actual circulation of
the new currency Increased 1881 600
pesos. In October to date 1 ,682, 1895 pesos
Mexican currency have been exported
commercially and $4,000 Spanish-Fil-
ipino by the insular government for re-
coinage. Have on hand nearly 100000
Spanish-Filipino pesos for recoin-
age. The increase of the actual cir
culation of the new coins for October
was approximately 100000 pesos
Every bank in Manila published no.
tices refusing the old currency on de-
post after September 80. Railroads re-
ceived no old currency at any price.
Nearly all the accounts of banks
throughout the islands have been re-
opened in the new currency. Banking
business has called in it's old notes and
issued new ones based upon the new
currency All new contracts are being
made with the new currency.
Business throughout the archipelago
is conducted now mainly on the new
basis. Banks and large dealers are CO.
operating with the government. Little
old currency is left, and existing taxing
provisions will eliminate that by jan
uary 1 next. The gold standard is an es-
tablished fact and now meets the ap-
prevail of the entire public. Business con-
ditions have much improved.

Possessions of Holland
Islands Which the Dutch Nation May Offer For Sale
Before Long,

of the Sunda group, just east of Java,
was the first island to come into pos
session of the Dutch. The expedition
sent out in 1885 landed on the island
two years later and won the friendship
of the people. An amusing story is
told in this connection. A globe and
a map of the world were shown to the
king, and the positions of the differ
ent countries were explained to him.
In order to impress him with the size
of Holland, the Dutchmen took the lib
erty of annexing Germany, Austria,
Norway and slice of Muscovy," which
had the desired effect of making him
feel that his own little island was not
very important possession. On q
subsequent visit in 1901 the Dutch
ENJOYS by way of flattery told the Bal

! Lombok, an island adjoining Bali,
came into the possession of Holland a

been called Little Java. 1t was this
island which was the scene of a des-
perate struggle in 1894, when the Dutch

Holland is in the throes of such a

several hundred years. The Dutch East

them becoming more and more a finan-
