New York, Dec. 2 —A dispatch to the
World from Paris says: The drafts of arti

One article provides that the United

Spain Did Wall to Give

nies
AMERICAN VIEW.

st. Louis, In e. 2 Louis? Esteve, a mem
la r of a piomimnt firm of grain and coi
tmi importer.-- of Barcelona, Spain, was a
visitor :>t the Mt rc hints Exchange in this
■■'.!y. lie dwelt ’r.;erestingly on the sub
bct of the late war as viewed from a
Spanish de ad; ei nt. in the course of his
remarks he said:
"1 was in Parcel;’na. which is one of the
leaning coa-t cities of Spain during the
entire war and had a good opportunity to
study the situation in my country.
"I am hn.ly convinced that the loss of
■her < Monies will in the end prove a bless
ing to Spain, althrough temporarily it will
■prove a hardship to many interests.
“With a good government. Spain will
row be more prosperous than for many
years :s her colonics have been more of a
'burden thin a bles.-ttig for some time and
'the p< ople will be forced to develop the
vast resources at home vhich have been
neglected in the endeavor to make as
.much as possible cut of the colonies.
"The Philippines reall? are not of much
lu iictii to Spain as the commerce of those
island •• was controlled by England and
•Germany, and Spain’s ’business with the
islands was comparatively light, how light
you may judge from the fact that there
was only cnc steamer a month between
Spain an! Manila. These islands were
r all) a burden and I do not envy the
Un.'td States far he acquisition of them.
"Os course we did a large business with
Cuba but of late years there has been so
much trouble with that island that the ex
penses ate up the revenues and 1 think we
are well rid of it also.
"Americans living in Spain were in no
more danger than Spaniards in the United
Stales and I know of two American fam
ilies which resided in Barcelona during
tite entire war and suffered no inconveni
ence. Ono of thtise families, whose name
is Montgomery. I am well acquainted with
and 1 know that they were always treat
ed with respect.
"I am afraid thr.i the United States will
have considerable trouble with the Philip
pines and will rue the clay when they took
•them away from Spain; but I believe that
■die relations between the Spanish people
and \meriei will in a short time be more
friendly."

"The mountain in eruption,” said Dr.
Kinslow, ” Is the second in a range of

Many Wheelmen Leave the
American League.
By Associated Frees.
New York Dee. 2.—Seventy-eight
amateur racing wheelmen will throw off
allegiance to the’ League of American
Wheelmen tomorrow night by competing
in unsanctioned .Madison Square Garden.
For several weeks leading amateurs in the
eastern states have had under considera
tion -the advisability of severing relations
with the League.
• Apparently a majority favored the step,
s..me among their leaders were cautious
and consequently action has been deferr
ed until the latest possible moment. The
piizes offered for .indoor competition by
im American .Cycle Racing Association
P’ovlJ toe tempting, so at the eleventh
hour the amateurs flecked to the standard
cf the "outlaws” and to the number above
s.ated rave entered for the indoor ama- I
teur handicap races to be contested -to- I
morrow night.
Among prominent amateurs entered tor |
these events are’ Charles Ertz, former na- i
tional champion; W. F. Wahrenberge-r,
Waltci Babb, Franklin Fisher, W. H.
Mosher and ether sprinters well-known to
-Vmrepolitan racers. .\n interesting en
try in the amateur contest is that of Felix
Stauscbrtk of Berlin. Germany, a former
amateur champion of that country.
Stesuchrek says he came to this country
to compete in the six-day race, but find
ing that’he would not have sufficient time
to pi epare for that event has decided to
i idt with- the amateurs. He will stare
from the scratch in the 'handicap races.
Harry Elks and Edouard Taylore are to
meet in the garden tomorrow night in a
paced race cf one hour’s duration. The
winner of this race will be matched
against Eddie McDuffie and the next win
ner in turn will challenge Michael for
the world’s championship, The struggle
between Elkes and Taylore is expected
to be exceeedingly keen, both riders being
particularly strong on indoor tracks <ind
both having created world’s records for
the pour, Elkes being the present figure
i-clj-r. 9
Kimble, Gardiner, Cooper, Eaton and
the Butler Bro-thers all have their back
ers fcr the indoor championship, Eaton
perhaps being a slight favoiite over any
one cf the ethers named. The work of
laying the new board track in the garden
was begun at midnight last night and it
is expected that the structure will be
completed bv midnight tonight.
VENEZUELA
Will Impose No Tax on
Gur Goons.
By Associated Press.
New York. Dec. 2 —The Venezuelan gov
ernment has decided not to impose further
duties on supplies sent to American con
sulates located in that country. The gov
ernment imposed these duties several
weeks ago. notwithstanding the fact that,
with one exception, all of the other coun
tries in the world, where United States
ci .iruls are located levy by no duty on im
portations. The United States immediate
ly letaliated and assessed the regular duty
on all articles sent from Venezuela to its
cor tills in this country.
The action had the desired effect ami a
circular has been received by collectors of
ports from Washington stating that the
recent order had been cancelled. The
reason assig tied was that Venzuela had
decided rot to impose duties hereafter in
such cases.

WHAT HAWAII
I MOST NEEDS.
i Men Who Have Some Lit
tle Capital for Business
Most Desired.
________
By Associated Pres*.
New York, Dec. 2. —Robert W. Shingle,
of Honolulu, who was the Hawaiian,
commlsicmer to the Omaha exposition, and
who was also s nt here by his government
to promote travel to the islands, is in
the city. Concerning emigration to Ha
waii Mr. Shingle said in an interview:
“The affairs of the Hawaiian islands
have been so prominently discussed in
this country recently that a certain in
terest has been aroused in these new pos
, sessions. Then ' too. the United States
soldiers on their way to Manila were
royally entertained in Honolulu and many
of them wrote back to their relatives and
friends here about their reception. These
causes have tended to draw many persons
from the United States to Hawaii. Alany of
them had an entirely false view of ths
islands. They thought that it would be
easy to earn a livelihood there directly
upon landing. Some went ashore with al
most no money and soon became a charge
on the Hawaiian?. A few were sent back
to their hemes with money raised by
subscription. Os course this clelss is not
desired.
“What is wanted is men who have some
little capital and experience, who know
what business they want to engage in
and have some aptitude for it. Sugar is
now the chief product of the islands, but
its cultivation requires capital. This is
also true of rice. I believe that coffee is
becoming the staple of the islands and it
can be cultivated by persons who start in
with only a few thousand dollars. Pine- |
apples, bananas and other fruits also re- I
quire only a small capital. The govern-,
ment makes liberal inducements to set
tiers. It exempts them from taxation for >
five years and offers them public lands I
on excellent terms. Five or eight acres I
may be had for nothing; larger areas can '
be bought from $5 to 510 per acre. It is :
possible, to lease large plots for three •
years and then to buy them at the original ,
figure, provided that 25 per cent, has been
developed."
