TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES Report Made by Consul Williams of the Island’s Exportations. Value of Two Pro: ets e for Ten Years Amounts to Nearly $100,000,000. United States Consul Williams at Manila has made a report to,the State Depart- ment, under date of February 28, in regard to the Philippine Islands, which is of spe- cial interest at this time. “Local and European authorities,” he says, “estimate the area of the Philippine Islands at 150,000 square miles and their population at 8,000,000 to 10,000,000. The Island of Luzon, on which the city of Ma- nila is situated, is larger than New York and Massachusetts, and has a population of 5,000,000, and the Island of Mindanao is nearly, if not quite, as large. There are scores of other islands, large and very pop- ulous. An idea of the extent of the Philip- pines may be formed when it is stated that the six New England states, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, have 10 per cent less area. In addition to the Philippine Islands, the Caroline, Ladrone and Seoloo groups are considered under the jurisdiction of this consulate (Manila). I have received a petition requesting that a consular agency be established at Yap in the Caroline group. “In all there are about 2,000 islands, in a land and sea area of about 1,200 miles of latitude and 2,400 miles of longitude. Amount of Exportation. “During the quarter ended December 31, 1su7, there were exported from these is- lands to the United States and Great Bri- tain 216,898 bales of hemp (280 pounds per balc), of which 138,792 bales went to the United States and only 78,106 bales to Great Britain. During the year 1897 there Was ar increase in the export of hemp from the Philippines to continental Eu- repe of 19 to Australia, 2 bales; to China, 28 bales; to Japan, bales, and to the United States, bales—a total increase of 158,485 bales, while to Great Britain there was a decrease 48 bales. “Thus, of increased shipments from the Philippines, those to the United States were S44 per cent greater than to all other -countries combined. “Of the total exports of hemp from the Philippines for the ten years ended 1 amounting to 6,528,965 bales (914,055. tons). forty-one per cent went to the United States. During the same years the Philippine Islands exported to the United States and to Europe 1,582,904 tons of sugar, of which 8 tons went to the United States, YL tons to Great Britain, and 41,362 tons to continental Europe; showing that of the total exports more than fifty-iive per cent went to the United States. “At the current values in New York of hemp (4 cents per pound) and of raw sugar (8% cents per pound), the exports of these two *preducts alone from these islands to the United States, during the ten years under review, amounted to $80,- 80, or an average of nearly $8,- 2 per year. Estimated Values. “Data as to cigars, tobacco, copra, woods, hides, shells indigo, coffee, ete, are not now obtainable; but a conservative esti- mate would so raise the above figures as to show United States imports from these islands to average about $1,000,000 per month. Teday, I have authenticated in- voices for export to the United States amounting to $138,066.12. “Later I will write of the Philippine tariff, import and export, being now engaged in translating it into English. The export duties and charges here on the hemp and sugar exported to the United States, during the ten years ended with 1807, amounted to $5,172,904.87. “It is, from the above, very apparent that the trend of trade is toward the United States, and my best endeavors will be ex- erted toward its further extension. “There are here twenty-two consulates representing the several countries, but the volume of the export trade coming under my official supervision equals that of my twenty-one colleagues combined.” ——SS ee ARMY PROMOTIONS. the Army The President sent to the Senate yester- day afternoon a number of staff appoint- ments for tne army. The salaries for these places range from $2,000 to $3,000. Quite a jans received appointments, sons of prominent men.

Various Ways of Swindling the Gov- ernment Exposed—Imposing on Uncle Sam's Bounty. The commissioner of pensions has re- ceived the following reports from different sections of the country showing recent con- viction: David Bernham, Lucy E. Beach, Frank Spoor, Anna M. Kuentner, Mary Winter, L. Winter and Thomas Howard, all plead guilty of violating the pension laws at Chi- cago, Ill. Bernham personated a soldier. Mrs. Spoor, now Beach, remarried and con- tinued to draw her pension, Frank Spoor, her son, acting as a witness to the alleged fact of her non-remarriage. Mrs. Kuent- ner, Mrs. Winter and L. Winter admitted having violated the law in connection with the claim of Mrs. Fry, and James Howard admitted that he had filed a false claim. John P. Pippin pleaded guilty at Nash- ville, Tenn., of using false and fictitious papers in his claim, and was sentenced to a year in jail. William M. Bolan was convicted at Mont- gomery, Ala., of filing a false claim and of committing perjury, he having claimed pension on account of what he stated was a wound of the right hand, caused by a saber in the hands of a rebel cavalryman, while the evidence tends to show that the injury was caused by an ax in the hands of one Mr. Morris at Camp Davis, Miss.. in the fall of 1863. Mr. Morris at the time was attempting to defend his daughter from an outrage. United States District Attorney Harlan Cleveland at Cincinnati, Ohio, has obtained a judgment for $3,061.40 from a nauonal bank at Bellaire and that amount has been covered Into the treasury. This action dis- poses of a case which has been pending for some time. One Caroline Hinkey, the mother of Louis Hinkey, a soldier, had filed a claim for pension and died before its allowance, and a daughter continued the prosecution of tie claim, concealing the fact of her mother's death. and with the aid of other parties obtained $2,115.40. The parties criminally involved in this matter were convicted in December, 1890, and sen- tenced to imprisonment for from two to five years, and through the suit which has just been decided at Cincinnati the gov- ernment recovered the entire amount of pension money which was fraudulently paid, with interest thereon. George W. Fitch of Omaha, Neb., has been sentenced to twelve months’ imprison- ment for embezzling the pension money paid him as the guardian of an insane sol- dier. - J. A. Pritchard, a long-haired and plausi- ble imposter, who gces under the name of Cherokee Kit, was sentenced to eighteen months’ imprisonment at Waco, Tex., for pretending to be a special examiner of the pension bureau, and under cover of his pre- terded official character getting various sums of money from applicants for pen- sion. Cherokce Kit is a smooth and oily telker and has ren a patent medicine bus- iness in connection with pension opera- tions. Special Examiner Stibbs, at Chicago, re- ports that on the 2d instant a jury in the United States district court at Chicago, Ili, rendered a verdict in favor of the United States for $3,413.47 against Gezina Bos of Princeton, Ill., the same represent- ing the amount fraudulently obtained by the woman in her claim for pension as the widow of John R. Bos, Company K, 8th Hlinois Cavalry, certificate No. 202,086. Tt appears that the woman was the legal widow of the soldier up to March 20, 1867, when she was married to one Hezekiah Epperson, who secured a divorce from her on statutory grounds in December, 1875. In 1879 the widow filed an application, falsely alleging that she had not remar- ried since the soldier's death in the serv- ice, July 10, 1864, and by reason of this fa'se claim obtained the amount for which the verdict was rendered. Special Examiner John T. Clements, at New York, reports that he swore out a warrant against William Lane O'Neill of New York, N. Y., for retaining the pension certificate of Deliah Lynch, No. 3} 382,394, Lyrch was brought before United States Commissioz.er Shields, and turned over the pension papers to the district attorney, who thereupon decided not to prosecute, and instructed the examiner to turn over the papers to the pensioner, which he did on the 2d instant. John Palmer, pension attorney of the N tional Home for D. V. S., Elizabeth C! county, Va., was convicted at Norfolk, Va., yesterday of having altered a certified copy of a record of marriage by erasing the fig- ure 1 and inserting in lieu thereof a cipher, sc as to make {t appear that one of his clients was married in 1800, and thus give ber a pensionable status under the pro- visions of the act of June 27, 1890, when, as a matter of fact, she was not married to the safior until May, 1891.

From a recent speech by Jobn Wanamaker in ennsyl¥ania. The great oleomargarine interests of Swift and Armour, backed with millions of capital, with agents and branches in almost every city and town of any siz> in the coun- try, stand as a menace to the pure butter indystries of this and other states. Friendly legislation has allowed them to place their spurious product on an equal fucting with butter, and it is sold In great quantitizs by unscrupulous dealers. The cost of manufacturing this bogus article is about one-third that of making good but- ter. The great oleomargarine companies are said to be liberal contributors to politi- cal machines. Poiiticians see in their friend- ship vast sums Of money for the future. So great are the pure butter interests of Penn- sylvania, and so important is the farmer's vote, that, Senator Quay, as usual, desired to make a covert attack upon them and not to strike them openly, but secretly stab them in the back. Representativs Marshall, Quay’s chairman of the appropriation com- mittee, after a long interview at Washing- ton with his boss on the subject of reve- rues, gave out an interview as reflecting Senator Quay’s wishes. It declared that oleomargarine sold in Pennsylvania should pay a tax of two cents per pound. It was Stated that the estimated revenu2 from this source would amount to $1,000,000 every year. This meant the sale of 50,000,000 pounds of oleo to take the place of so much of the farmer's butter annually. It is an open secret that the machine in Pennsylvania has long been in favor of the free sale of oleo, and has only been await- ing an opportunity when by legislation it could Isgalize its sale. Here, then, was the looked-for chance, for under the necessity of raising revenue for schools and charity they could make its sale lawful. The tax- ing of oleo would legalize its sale. The le- galized sale of o! in Pennsylvania would completely destroy the butter-making inter- esis of the state. The millions of dollars now invested in the dairy industry would be lost. The same tactics were employ2d to pass this bill that were used to cut the school appropriatign. Every machine man got his orders, and every man w2nt to work against the pure butter interests. It was confidently believed that the sentiment of the legislature was favorable to an ol30 tax. But again those two country boys you sent to the legislature uninstructed came to your rescue. Representatives Young and Smith of Tioga county quietly called to- g2ther fifteen members whom they could trust and formed an organization to protect pure butter. This organization grew so strong that within one week's time Mr. Quay’s oleo scheme was abandoned. ——eee. Cubans Exchange Greetings. Several of the Cuban rongh riders con- nected with Buffalo Bill's wild west show, including Cols. Americh and Guerro, and Sergts. Valdez and Hernandez, called on Senors Quesada and Albertini and Gen. Tomas Estrada Paima of the Cuban re- public at the Hotel ‘Raleigh this morning. They were accompanied by Mr. Gonzales, the laterpreter. The Cubans chatted together for some little time, passing mutual compliments. After this they visited the treasury and a number of other dspartments. Last week some of the Cubans with the show went to Tamy- to join.an expedition to Cuba, and others will follo MAYER B35: 937-939 F Street. “ “A ‘full line of , American Flags and i} Ripbons at prices + yop'll like.
