The first Spanish battle flag captured in Cuba by the American forces reached the War Department today and was consigned jutant General Corbin. It was spread out over the back of a large chair in the office and was an object of generai interest to the many callers. It is a small flag, measuring two feet by four feet, poorly constructed of inferior material. It has three broad stripes, the two outer ones be- ing of red and the center one of yellow, broken in the center with the Spanish coat- of-arms on a white ground. The flag was captured at Juraguacita, Cuba, Bune 23, by the following named men of Cempany B, 22d United States In- fantry, attached to the ist Brigade, 2d Di- vision, Sth Army Corps: Corporal New- man, Corporal Boyle, Private Keyser, Pri- vate Cooley and Private Houghtaling.

If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer, Record of the Most Remarkable Year of Our Existenos. Balance of Trade in Our Favor More ‘Than Double That of Any Previous Year. The record completed by the brreau of statistics of the commerce of the United States during the last fiscal year becomes especially interesting when compared with that of preceding years. Not only does the year’s record surpass that of any previous year in the total exports, but for the first time in the history of the country the ex- ports are twice as great as the imports and the exports of manufactures exceed the imports of manufactures. The value of the exportations of the fiscal year 1898 is more than seven times that of 1865, four times as much as in 1869, twice as much as in 1877, 60 per cent more than in JSST, 20 per cent in excess of the great commercial year of 1892 and $180,000,000 more than the greatest year of our export trade—Isv7. The balance of trade in our favor is more | than double that of any previous year and nearly equal to that of the past five years combined. The net importations of gold exceed those of any preceding year in the history of the country, the total gold imports in excess of exports being for the full year $104,985,279, including coin, bullion and ore, whiie no preceding year ever reached the $100,000,000 line in net imports of gold. When to this is added the fact that the imports of merchandise of the year are less than in any year since 1885, and with this single exception less than in any year since 187%, it becomes apparent that the record of the fiscal year 189§ is an altogether unusual one. The balance of trade in our favor in the year under consideration is $61 against $286,203,144 in 1897, $264,661, a 1879, $259,712,718 in 1881, $257,814,234 in 1878, 145,950 in 1804 and $202,87: while no other year, except these men- tioned, ever reached the $200,000,000 line in its balance of trade, or “excess of ex- ports over imports,” as it is termed by the official reports of the bureau of statistics. Indeed, it is only since 1873 that the bal- ance of trade has been, as a rule, in our favor. From 1791 to 1876 there were but sixteen occasions in which the exports of the year excceded the imports. Since that time, however, the baiance of trade has been almost constantly in our favor, only three years—1888, 1889 and 1893—showing an excess of imports of merchandise over our exports. The excess of imports over exports in the eighty-five years prior to 1876 was $2,215,404,610, while the excess of exports over imports since that time has been $3,191,268,300. Mostly Agricaltural Expor Agricultural productions, of course, form @ large proportion of the exportations of this greatest year in the history of our commerce, yet they do not form as large a proportion as in many preceding years. Only 71 per cent of the exportations of the 1898 are products of agriculture, while 4 they were over 72 per cent of our total exports; in 189%, over 74 per cent; in 1892, over 78 per cent: in 1881, more than 2 per cent, and in 1880, more than 83 per cent of the total exports. In spite of the fact that the manufactureres of the coun- try had an unusual demaud upon tnem from the home markets during the past ually small im- have not year by reason of the v portations of manufactur . they only supplied the home market, creased their exports over those preceding year, so that the total ¢ tons of manufactured goods in the year t ended reaches nearly $200,0:0,000, while t prior to the centennial did® they S MuUCh as $10,000,000, A comparison of the exports of 1808 with these of 1888 shows an increase 0” practi- cally 100 per cent in that period, ‘1¢ total for 1888 being $695,954,507 against $1,231,- 311,868 in 18¥8. The extension of our ex- been in all parts of the ially with the distant and with those countries and conti- nents which but a decade ago purchased but little of our prodifctions. To Africa, which in 188$ bought but a little over $3,000,000 worth of our produc- tions, we have during the past year sold $17,000,000; to Japan, which took but little over $4,000,000 in 1888, our sales in the year just ended were valued at $21,000,000; to China, which took but $4,500,000 in IS88. we Sold in ISIS $10,000,000. eee RENOVATING THE CAPITOL. Painters and Cleaners Now at Werk on the Building. The work of renovating the Capitol is now progressing rapidiy. Painters and cleaners are rapidly gi the furnishings of the building an appearance of newness they have not had for many months. The western side of the central portion of the building is receiving a cout of white paint, the eastern front having been painted last Every four or five yeurs it is found ‘y to repaint the old sandstone fac ing of the antiquated part of the Capitol. The work was begun last year, but it was stopped upon the meeting of Congress and is now being completed. H There Ww op the force of watchmen | at the Capitol eighteen special officers, in | addi‘i _n to the regular force of forty-nine mez. The crowds in the city during the past spring and winter have been so great 1 of the wateh force, un- der Capt. Garden, have been worked dowb- ble time continuously. The needs of the Capitol at present are such that if only the regular force were employed there would be no opportunity for any of the men to get the leaves of absence which the government is supposed to provide. The additional temporary force of eightcen men provided for by Congress just before djournment and now on duty will allow every one of the regular force to receive their usual leave. ———_—_+-e.______ FRENCH SHIP AT SANTIAGO. It is Probable She Will Remove Some of the Residents. A Frerch warship will be the first foreign ship to salute the American flag flymg on Cuban soll. Word has been received here that the Frerch cruiser Rigault de Gen- cuilly has been ordered to Santiago. This was some days ago, the cruiser D’Estainge being ordered to Havana at the same time. The D’Estainge has arrived at Havana, and word now reaches here that the Rigault de Genouilly arrived at Guantanamo. By this time she is at Santiago, for her orders are to go there. The first formality on ar- riving at that port is for the foreign war- ship to salute the flag of the government of the port. Had the Rigault de Genouilly ar- rived before yesterday noon, her formal salute would have been to the Spanish flag then waving over Santiago, but as her ar- rival will be after the raising of the Ameri- can colors the salute will be to the Ameri- can flag. The French consul at Santiago, with S00 French citizens, residents of Santiago, have returned there after about two weeks at El Canzy, where they took refuge when the battle was on. The consul’s reports to the officials here make no reference to suffering, and it is concluded that the French colony fared reasonably well in the matter of rations while refugees from the city. They received daily supplies, under- stood to come from the Red Cross. It is frobable that a number of the French resi- dents will be taken off by the Rigual de Genouilly. . ————_-e-____ Death of Geo. A. Pillsbury.
