SAMPSON SHOWS SENSITIVE SIDE
Rear Admiral Does Not Like Remark
Attributed to Schley.
Washington, August 7.—Secretary Long
today requested the publication of the fol
lowing correspondence:
"United States Flagship New York, First
Rate, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July 27,
1898.—My Dear .Mr. Secretary: I am led
to write at the present time on account
of tiie publication of an article which ap
peared in tlhe papers of the 19th instant, In
which Commodore Selhley was led to
state that he had over and over again
stated It was possible to enter the har
bor of Santiago notwithstanding the
mines.
"Commodore Schley called on me yester
day and voluntarily .stated that the pub
lication of the article on the 19th was false
In every particular; that he not only
stated nothing of the kind, but that he had
never thought of It; that he had always
entirely agreed with me on the question,
and that he did not know a single otlicer
whose opinion differed from mine. As 1
have reason to believe that Commodore
Schley has been misrepresented, 1 have
taken the liberty to address to you a tele
gram upon this subject Uhls morning, and
as I am about to sail for the east, I trust
it Will receive your attention at an early
date. Very respectfully,
"W. T. SAMPSON,
"Rear Admilra) United States Navy, Com
mander-ln-Chlef United States Naval
Force, North Atlantic Station.”
"To the Secretary of the Navy Depart
ment. Washington."
Wants Authority for Statement.
Tiie telegram referred to Is as follows:
"Playa de! Este, via Hayti, July 27, IS9S,
1:32 a. nt.—Secretary Navy, Washington:
I cull department’s attention to an As
sociated Press dispatch In The New York

to Commodore Schley certain opinions re
garding mines. I‘request that the mana
ger of the Associated Press be called upon
to name tlhe source ami authorltj’ for this
statement. SAMPSON."
On receipt of this telegram the depart
ment wrote the following letter to the
Associated Press;
"Navy Department, Washington. July
28. 1898.—Sir; The New York Times and
The New York Herald, of the 19th instant,
published an Assoeiaed Press dispatch
which contained opinions regarding mines,
attributed to Commodore Schley. This
dispatch is written In such manner as to
convey tlhe impression that it was re
ceived from your representative with the
squadron off Santiago, and consequently
had been censored by proper naval author
ity. I therefore have to request that you
inform this department at your earliest
convenience the source and authority for
the dispatch to which reference is made.
Very respectfully
"John D. LONG, Secretary.
"Mr. C. A. Boynton, General Southern
Manager the Associated Press, Post
Building. Washington."
Boynton Exonerates Schley.
The reply of the Associated Press is as
follows:
“Washington, August 1. JS"v Hon John
D. Ixmg, Secretary of the Navy. Sir; Your
favor of the 28th is at hand, concerning ar
ticles published In The. New York Times
and New York Herald, of the 19th in
stant, in which certain opinions in regard
to mim-s are attributed to Commodore
Schley.
“This letter was not written by either of
our representatives with the squadron oft
Santiago, but by another gentleman who
was temporarily on one of our dispatch
boats. Tiie dispatch was not subject to
censorship.
“Our Mr. Graham, who has been con
stantly with Commodore Schley since his
squadron assembled at Hampton Roads,
and is probably more familiar with his
views than any newspaper man at San
tiago, takes issue with tiie gentleman who
wrote the letter referred to, and :-'iys t'ii.it
Commodore Schley was always in com
plete accord with Admiral Sampson as to
the question of entering the harbor. He
quotes Commodore Sehley as saying:
" 'Admiral Sampson and I had always
agreed that it would be foolish to enter
the harbor with the mines iin place, and
the condition of the mines proved tiiat
Admiral Sampson was correct.' Very re
spectfully yours.

COMPARISON WITH FORMER YEARS
Nearly All the Ports Show Increased
Business—Those of the Pacific
Leading.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, August 7.—(Special.)-R'P
resentatlves of the great ports of the
I'nited States will be Interested In some
figures which the bureau ot statls.h s
the treasury department has just “’ ni,>l {
regarding the import ami export 1
the vurlo'us ports of the country am
paring the year's business with t t.t o
ceding years. The rivalry between ‘
coast cities for the honor amiP^ l l l
handling a satisfactory proportion ’ 1
foreign commerce has been unusually slt.i
in the past year or two. The rapid gr
of the carrying trade along the chin
great lakes and thence by canal or rail
to the coast, the sharp competition ami
reduced rates by rail from the great gra n
Helds of the west to the south Atliint>•-
ports and the increased t all und water . -
cilities of transportation between t »’*
ta r Mississippi valley and the gulf
together with improved harbor facilities
at various points, have produced mater t
changes in tic- drift of the great bulk ot
the grain and provision product of the
country which goes to Europe, while our
increased commerce witlt Asia nnd • <t.u>
lea. has materially and advantageously af
fected the business of the ports on the Pa
cific coast. These facts, together with the
claims that certain ports enjoy spc. tal ad
vantages in railway rates and terminal fa
cilities. have made the interest in th.- com
parative business of the various ports un
usually great.
A comparison of the figures covering the
exports and imports of the various ports
during tin- fiscal year with those of pre
ceding years presents some Interesting and
suggestive facts bearing on this subject.
They show that the Atlantic ports consid
ered as an entire group retained, when
compared with the preceding year, their
normal jiro[»ort!on of the exports of the
year, but l ist slightly in imports, the total
increase in exportation In these ports being
17.fil per cent. While tiie total increase in
exportation from the entire country was
17.3 per cent; tiie total importation of the
Atlantic ports, however, fell 11.1 per cent,
while the, total importation Into the coun
try decreased but 19.3 per cent. The gulf
ports did not, as a whole, maintain the
rate of increase which the country at lifge
made in exports, their percentage of gain
being but 8.6 per cent, against an average
of 17.3 tier cent for the total; while their
loss In imports was still greater, being
29.9 per cent, against an average of 19.3 per
cent for the entire country. The J’.acific
ports made the most satisfactory record
of any group, their gain in exports being
25.7 per cent, while they actually gained in
Imports 16.3 per cent, the total imports f it
tl . country were being decreased 19.3 per
cent. Tiie northern border ports made the
largest percentage of gain in exportations,
their total for the year being 27.3 per cent
greater than that of the preceding year,
while in importations they lost 21.1 per
cent.
Considered by Ports.
Taking up the ports indivi ‘hi.i Ily, how
ever. and considering their percentage of
Hi.' total commerce during a longer term
ot years, the contrasts and comparisons
Increase in inter, -t.
Bcginnipp with port of New York, it
Is found th.it sh • h indk-d only 15.9 per . ent
of the for gn commerce of the country,
..gainst 52.5 per e. t.t _n 1890; 52.2 per cent
in 1-.93, 51.1 per cent in isiij on,] ,|,s per
cent In I>l’7. The loss Is altogether in ex
portations, having I..en in 1898 but 36.1 per
cent of tin- total exportations of the < oun
try, against 37.2 per cent in J 897; -JO.l per
cent in 1896 and 41.3 per < < nt in fs'.U; w'hile
her importations in Isps w.-ie 65.3 per cent
of the total imports of the country,
against 6-1.1 p (: r cent in 1896 and 63.4 per
cent In 1.'.'1.
Boston did not make a satisfactory re
cord e.ther In her imports or exports dur
ing the year just ended. Her importations
were only 8.3 per cent of th" total imports
<>l the country, against 11. x p>r ..nt in
1-97. 10.1 per eent in 1896, 9.1 per cent in 1895,
9.1 per cent in isp3 and 8.1 per eent in 1891.
H.-r exportations were in 1898 only per
cent of the total, against 10.8 per cent in
18116. 10.5 in 1895 and 10.8 per eent in 1893.
Taking the total imports ami exports of
the country, Boston had in 1898 but 9.1 per
cent of the total, against 10.5 per cent in
1896 ami 1897, 9.9 per cent in ISH3 ami 9.6
in 1893.
•I “hi lailelpl: a’s percentage of the total
foreign commerce of tlhe year was not al
together satisfactory, when compared witli
that of previous years. Her importations
Were 5.1 per cent of tile total imports into
the country, while in 1897 they wet-- 6.2 per
cent, in 1895 6.6 per cent, in 1.894 8.2 per
cent and iti 18'93 7.6 P'T cent. Tier exporta
tions were 4.5 per cent, against 4.5 per cent
in 18'97, 4.4 per cent in 1.896, 4.3 per cent
18'95. 5.8 per e. nt in I't-i; and 5.6 per cent in
1892. her percentage of tile total imports
.and exports being in 1.898 4.7 per eent, in
1897 5.2 tier cent, in 1895 5.2 per eent, in
1895 5.1 per i i nt, in 1894 6.9 per cent, in 1893
6.71 pet- cent and In 1892 6.3.8 per cent.
Baltimore made material gains in her ex
ports. though in imports there was a slight
loss in her percentage of the total im
portations, into t'iie country. Her per
centage Ilf the total exports of the eu.in ry
was in 1898 9.6 per cent, in 1897 8.1 per
.•.■nt. in 1896 7.5 per cent, in 1895 7.6 per
cent, in 1894 8.7 per cent, .and in 1890 8.7
per cent. Her Importations m 1.898 Were
1.2 per cent of the total imports into the
country, in 1897 1.4 per cent, in 1896 1.7
per cent. 111 1895 1.6 per cent, in 1893 and in
18U1 1.8 p. r cent, ami In ISIH 2.4 per cent,
ll'. r share of the total foreign commerce
of the country was in 1898 b. 9 per cent,
In 1897 5.3 pvf > eiit, in 1895 ami 18'96 4.3 per
cent, in' 18'.A) 5-8 per cent and in 1829 5.2
per cent.
Newport News shows a rapid gam m her
exports, which, in 1898 were 2.1 per cent
~f tile total Os the country, aga.nsi 2.1 per
e.-nl in 18'91, 1.6 per cent in 18'91, 1895 and
18'iti and a. little less than 1 per cent in
isiis’ more than three times those of 1894;
the total, how. ver, forming less than 1
per eeiit’ of the total imports into the
cmintm while in IN'S 1.7 p. r cent, in 1897
i " per cent, while prior to that time they
fonned less than 1 per eent of the total.
'I n,. gulf put ts increased their exporta
tions materially, especially in wheat and
wheat flour, though in corn there was a
heavy decrease. Galvt ston increased her
i xports over those of last year 17.6 per
eent while of those New Orleans increased
II per . ent over those of last year. In im
ports Galveston made a marked Increase,
those of 1898 being 49.7 per cent greater
than these of 1897. while New Orleans lost
materially in her imports, which in 18'98
wen 11.9 per cent less than in 1897. Tne
imports al New Orleans in 1.896 amounted
to 1.57 per cent of the total imports into
the country, against 2.17 per cent in 1897.
2.76 per cent in 1894 and 2.41 per cent, in
1891, while the exports were 9.15 per cent of
the total of the country in 1898, against
9.66 per cent In 1897, 9.18 per cent in 1893,
12.74 per cent in 1892 and 12.69 per cent In
1890. Galveston’s share of the total expor
tations of the country In 1898 was 5.56 per
cent, against 5.54 per cent in 1897, 4.12 per
cent in 1896, 3.93 per cent in 1894, 3.43 per
cent In 1892 and 2,88 per cent In 1890.
Pacific coast ports, as already indicated,
show a gain both in imports and exports.
San Francisco exported in 181'8 3.34 per
cent of the total exports of the country,
against 3.08 per cent In 1895, 2.79 per cent in
1.894. 3.96 per cent in 1892 and 4.24 per cent
in 1890. Her percentage of the Imports was
in 1898 6.98 per cent, tn 1897 4.50 per cent, in
1895 4.95 per cent and in 1890 6.18 per cent.
The Puget sound customs district gained
materially in her sihare of the commerce
of the country, her exports in 1898 being
1.45 per cent of the total, against 1.13 per
cent in 1,897, .78 per eent In 1896, .55 per
cent in 1893 and .39 per cent in 1890, while
the Imports of the year, although slightly
less than those of 1897, were much greater
tihan those of any prior year.
Taking up the leading articles of our ex
ports. such us wheat, corn, flour, etc.. It is
found that the north Atlantic ports have
lost materially in their proportion of the
export trade, while their loss' becomes the
gain of ports fart'her south. New York,
which in 1593 hamdled 33.7 per cent of the
exported, handled but 24.9 per cent
of the wheat exported In 1898; her per
centage of the corn export of 1893 was 26.7
per cent and in 1898 but 20.3 per cent; her
percentage of the Hour export, which in
1593 was 36.2 per eent, fell to 32.3 per cent
In 1898, while her percentage of the expor
tation of oats. W’h.t'a in 1893 was 83,3 per
cent. f>-ll to 58.2 per cent in 1898. Boston
exported in 1898 less than 6 per cent of the
wheat crop, against over 14 per cent in
1.897, and but 6.5 per cent of the corn ex
ports, against over 10 per cent In 1894.
This loss of grain exports by New York
and Boston became the gain of Baltimore,
Newport News, New Orleans, Galveston
und certain of the northern! border ports.
Baltimore handled in 189 S 14.7 J>er cent of
the wheat exportations, against 8.1 P'-r
cent in 1897; Newport News increased from
less than I per cent In 1896 to over 2 per
cent hi 1898; New Orleans Increased from
less than 4 per cent in 1897 to ever 11
per cent In 1898. and Galveston Increased
from 4.5 per cent in 1897 to over 7 per
cent In 1898. In corn exports, however.
New Orleans and Galveston lost, New Or
leans dropping from 17.2 per cent of the
total corn exports <f 1897 to 11.1 per cent in
1898. while Galveston dropped from 3.4 per
cent in 1897 to 2.3 p'-r cent in 1898.

destiny was reserved. In 1851,
by her mother, she paid a long visit i>
Paris, whi t. at th" v trlous entertain
ments given at the Tuileries she was dis
tinguished by tl." dignity ami eb umnee of
lo r demeanor ind by great personal beiutt
of tae aristocratie English, rather than th"
Spanish style. Iler melt' 11 gifts were Uot
hss attractive.
Shortly after tie- opposition of the higher
northern powers had put an end to the
idea of a union between Emp>-ror Napoleon
111 .nd th- liincess Caroli; WHsa. of
Sw. den. he apprised the council of minis
ters of his intended m irriage with tiie
daughter of th" Countess de Montljos. a
nu asiit’" winch excited some disapproval
am -’g them and even !■ d to their tempo- ,
rary withdrawal from office.
During the short time that intervened be
tween tin- public announcement of the ap
proaching event and its realization the
Countess Te! i id lor mother to'k up
their abode in t' ■ palace Os the Elysee. The
marriage was eelebrated with much mag
nificence on January 19. 1853. at Notre
Dame, the empress then being in her
: w enty-seventh y ar.
On March 16. ISjti. she became the mother
of an lo ir to tin- house of Bonaparte, t p
to the outbreak of the war be:.-.i <n France
and Gi-imany her life was comparatively
uneventful, being passed chiefly in the or
dinary routine ol slate etiquette. When the
war was di-cI.H i d and Emp.-ror Napoleon
took the field the empress was appointed
regent (July 27, 1870). Immediately after the
revolution in Baris, on September 4th, she
hastily left the Tuileries and escaped from
France, landing live days later at Ryde, tn
the Isle of Wight, and shortly afterwards
joining the prince imperial at Hastings.
Camden house, at Chiselhurst, was subse
quently selected as a residence by the
imperial exiles. In the following year the
empress went to Spain on a visit to her
mother.
'l’ie Emperor Napoleon 111 died at Chisel
hurst January 9, 1873, and in 1879 the
prince imperial, who bad accompanied the
English army in the Zulu war, was killed.
Ills body was brought to England ami
buried at Chlselhursl and the following
year on the anniversary of her son’s death
the empress went to Zululand to visit tile
fatal spot. In 18.81 she removed from Cam
den house to the Farnborough estate in
Hampshire, close to the borders of the
county of Surrey.
