CANARY ISLANDS
HARD hit BY war.
Exports Have Fallen Off at an
Alarming R;ts.


New York.-That the European war
has proved a severe blow industrially
to the Canary islands was the state
ment made by Homer Brett, United
States consul at Tenerife. Mr.. Brett,
who has been transferred to La Guaira,
Venezuela, was visitor at the branch
Office Of the bureau Of foreign and do
nestle commerce in the custom house.
1.-THE war;" said the consul, has
forced great interest in the Canaries
in everything American. Previous to
the outbreak of hostilities the island
ers bought practically all Of their dour
from England, most Of the commodity
being shipped from Liverpool. Now
they have turned to the United States
for this breadstuff, and increasing
quantities are being received there.
At present only American automo-
biles are being imported, and the ma
tives speak highly Of the makes al
ready introduced.
"Up to the beginning Of the war the
Canary islands had an annual export
trade of 100000 crates Of bananas,
100000 boxes Of tomatoes. 100000
boxes Of potatoes and 100000 crates Of
onions. A large part of this trade
went to southwestern Europe, but the
war has placed a blight on oil this
business. Before the war the islanders
depended upon the Scandinavian coun-
tries for all Of the crate material used
in packing the fruit and vegetable
products. This wood Is no longer
available to any extent, and inquiries
are now being made in the United
States for shocks. The packers must
have this material and are looking to
this country to come to their aid.
Another serious handicap in the IS
lands is the shortage Of fertilizers. Up
to the start of the war the bulk Of fer
tilizer was imported from Antwerp.
and lesser quantity from London.
This was principally Chilean nitrate.
This trade has. Of course, been greatly
upset. and when l left Tenerife they
were negotiating with American firms
for needed supplies. There is also a
serious shortage in coal and cement.
The Canaries are an annual market
for 100000 tons of coal, practically
all of which before the war was sup
piled from Newcastle"

New York, Aug. 31.-Fifteen
cases of a suspicious disease,
believed to he Asiatic cholera,
were discovered today on
board the steamship President
Lincoln, of the Hamburg Amer
lean Line. which has been
moored to dock in Hoboken
since just after the beginning
of the war. The vessel has been
used by the German authorities
for housing German refugees
and the cases Of illness affect
half the population Of the ship,
The government has made
an investigation and strict
quarantine was placed on the
vessel, and no one will be al
lowed to visit the vessel or
leave it until the health author
tiles have made up their minds
definitely.
Commissioner Joseph f.
Stack, of Hoboken, said tonight
that the disease has all the APP
pearances of Asiatic cholera
and that he believes it is. The
only theory of its presence on
the vessel, he said, concerns the
housing on the boat two months
ago Of some German refugees,
who came here from China. IT
is believed that these men
might have brought the disease
with them.
