TRADE WITH EGYPT.
Special Agent Pepper Reports Upon
 Pr0apecta.

Washington, Sept. 16.-special Agent Charles M. Pepper, who was sent to Egypt to report upon the prospects for increased trade with that country, in a report to the bureau of manufactures says the imports from Egypt have reached nearly $0,0OO,000, and the av- craze for seven years was $F,75S,657 while in return direct shipments of goods from the United States rarely ex- oeeded $1, 1,000, ,O00 and in some years have fallen below $5000O0. The total foreign commerce of Egypt in 1895 was little more than $100O0000O. Nr. Pep per says that it will in less than five years amount to $250,000 900. one-half of which will be imported goods
 A wide demand exists In that country, the report says, for machinery. Dealers in Alexandria and Cairo assert that manufacturers in the United States offer no encouragement for the intro daction and sale of their goods. The demand for automobiles is an inereas- Ing one. The majority of articles from all countries pay uniform duty of per cent. ad valorem, and this unifnom treatment to all countries, the report says should make it comparat lively increase it's sales in Egypt One thing necessary, 1t adds, Is the establishment of a direct steamship line.

PARIS TEMPS THINKS
 GOVERNMENT RESERVED
VIEWS OF THE FRENCH CAPITAL ON TREND OF AFFAIRS IN
 CUBAN SITUATION.

Responsible Paris Circles Recognize
 American Right of InterventtOn---lnl-
 uutes No Desire for AnnexatiOn-Be-
 lief Expressed That Present Settle
 ment will Not be Definite and That
 Ultimate Annexation Will be Neces-
 sary-ReIapses Like the Present Not
 Isolated.
 Paris, Sept. Actively interest is manifested here over President Roose- velt's decision to send Secretary of War Taft and Acting Secretary of State Bacon to Cuba and many of the news papers jump to the conclusion that this will sound the knell of Cuban indepen- dence.
 In responsible circles, however, the right of the United States, under the treaty with Cuba, to restore order IS recognized. but there is no disposition to impute to the Washington govern ment a desire to seize the occasion to annex the island Nevertheless, it is thought by some persons that even if the wise counsel of President Roosevelt is followed and the rival factions tenn porarily bury the hatchet there will be an early recurrence of the insurrecti0n which will compel ultimate annexation.
 The Temps, which frequently reflects the views of the foreign office, says that while American commercial inter- ests, in the belief that they are injured by the commercial treaties Cuba has negotiated with other powers, undoubt- ed hope the present imbroglio will re- suit in annexation the position of the government is very reserved "Presi- dent Roosevelt is a man of honor who will keep his word" the Temps says. "He gave liberty to Cuba and will not take the first opportunity to withdraw it. Besides, he is man of experience and knows what possession of the Philippines cost and continues to cost the United States Cubans as citizens or subjects are not easy to govern. Un- to affirm, therefore, that America does not contemplate laying violent hands on the island, but only intends to safe guard American interests, and demon strate to the Cubans that it will be a matter of hours if 1t desires to impose it's will. It probably will require the appearance Of American warships tc induce the Cubans to accept President Roosevelts excellent advice. But, un. fortunately, a settlement of the pres. ent difficulties will not be definite anG the Cubans, who during four years have surprised Europe by their pros. porous tranquility, will return to their old vice, Such relapses are rarely iso. lated. This is grave feature of the situation and one we deplore in peo- pie who always have received French sympathy and friendship"
