Special Washington Letter.
. Spain tried for 300 years to subju
cate me unipmus auu uiieny iauea to
do so. With astounding idiocy we paid
Spain $15,000,000 for a quitclaim to
her unending war. Sydney Smith, once
said, "Doubtless God could make a bet
ter berry than the strawberry, ' but
doubtless God never made a better
due." It may possibly be that some
time in the 6,000 years that humanity
has been perambulating the earth some
people somewhere did a more foolish
thing than we did when we took the
job off the hands of Spain, but history
gives no record , of it The St Louis
Globe-Democrat is one of the most
rautankerous of all jingoes and always
. makes as good a showing as possible
as to our operations in the Philippines!
Tuat being tne case, a sensible man can
guess reasonably well at the new con
dition of affairs In the Philippines
when The Globe-Democrat is willing
to publish such a lugubrious dispatch
cs the following: ' - . . . .
Manila, Aug. 25. In the city of Manila there
are now less than one thousand effective soldiers,
and it has been decided to increase this nupnber
by four companies of infantry. - The official 'reason
- for the increase is that the guard duty is too
heavy for the present force. . ..;.;
As a matter of fact, however, there is a feeling
that, although' there is no apparent prospect of
trouble,1 nevertheless in the event of an uprising
in tbe future, such as is always possible among
the Malays, it would be better to have a sufficient
body of troops available. v

Taylor to the collector of customs at Boston. '
A manufacturing company in -Massachusetts de
sired to Becure the drawback on an exportation of
men s shoes,' in which the outer soles, the coun
ters, the heels and the top lifts were made from
sole leather produced from Imported hides. -: Mr.
Taylor's instructions were that the entry under.
which the merchandise Is to be inspected and
laden must show, separately, the'marks and pum
bers of . the shipping cases and the contents of
: each case as described, in the export invoice.
Attached to the entry and forming a part there
of there must be a tabulated statement showing
the number and style of each kind of shoe con
tained in the shipping cases and the number and
description : of the parts on which drawback is
claimed. t.
The entry must further show that the exported
merchandise ' was manufactured of the material
and in the manner set forth in the manufacturers'
sworn statement, a copy of which will be already
in tbe collector's hands. As a part of the' draw
back entry and a prerequisite to liquidation the
manufacturers roust file a ' certified copy of the
tannery record covering . the sole leather used in
the shoes included in the drawback entry ; and
the certificate of the manufacture of such leather
for purposes' of identification. ?, . vi,-,

will either trade. England out of them
