the most popular orde dy ser

SPANISH HOLD 7 PORTS ,
R pott They Had Been Driven
From Luzon Premature.fiS
Manila, Sept. 24 —The report
that the last Spanish garrison
in the island of Luzon had sur
rendered is premature. The
Spaniards still hold seven sea
ports in Albay province, the
principal hemp district.
The disturbances haye already
resulted in a diminution of the
output cf Albay hemp by 250,-
000 bales, compared with last
year’s figures. Further fighting
seems imminent, and unless
peace is concluded the shortage
will be doubled.
