FROCLAMATIUH aY GEN. MILES
The Purpose of the Invasion of Porto
.Rico Explained. ‘
following proclamation:
“In the prosecution of the war
against the kingdom of Spain by the
people of the United States. in the
cause of liberty, justiCe and humanity,
its military forces have come to occu-
py the island of Porto Rico. They
come bearing the banners of freedom,
inspired by a noble purpose, t‘b seek
the enemies of our government and of
yours, and to destroyer capture all in
armed resistance.
“They bring you the fostering arms
of a. free people, whose greatest power
within their fold. Hence they release
you from your former political rela-
tions and, it is hoped, the cheerful ac—
ceptance of the government of the Uni-
ted States.
“The chief object of the American
military forces will be to overthrow
the armed authority of Spain and give
the people of your beautiful island the
largest measure of liberty consistent
with this military occupation. They
have not come to make War on the peo-
ple of the country, who for centuries
have been oppressed, but on the con-
trary, they bring protection not only
to yourselves, but to your property,
promote your prosperity and bestow
rthe immunities and blessings of our en-
lightened and liberal institutions and
government.
“It is not their purpose to interfere
with the existing laws and customs
which are wholesome and beneficial to
the people, so long as they conform to
the rules of the military administra-
tion, order and justice.
“This is not a war of devastation and
dissolution, but one to give all within
the control of the military and naval
forces the advantages and blessings of
enlightened civilization.”
PHILIPPINE NATIVES PROTEST
the Islands to
Opposed.
London, July 30.—Natives of the Phi-
lippine islands and native subjects who
have interests there are alarmed by the
reports that the peace terms include
the return of tthe islands 7to Spain. As
a result they have held a meeting here
and, after consultation with the Phil-
ippine natives in France and Belgium,
have cawa to President McKinley and
to Senator Davis, chairman of ‘the'for-
eign relations committee. The message
to President McKinley is as follows:
“The Philippinas resident in Eurcpe
pray you not to abandon the Philippine
islands for the sake of peace with
Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor of America entitle us to your con-
sideration and support. To hand over
our country again to Spain is contrary
to 'the humanitarian proceedings. of
your noble nation and the wish of all
classes. Civilization, trade and order
all will be lost if Spanish authorityis
re-establislred in any form." '
The message to Senator Davis says:
*‘A cast iron agreement binding Spain
to a form of government satisfactory. to
the inhabitants is preposterous To re-
tain her sovereignty means ‘deception,
oppression and bigotism. ~VVe place our
rights in your hands and pray you to
induce the president and senate not to
abandon in the hour of peace a. people
who, trusting in American honor, fight
for their common interests.”
Return of ' Spain
Spain Favorable to knee.
Madrid, July 30.—Beferring to the
prospects of peace, the Corresponden—
cia, an independent, semi-official pa-
per, says:
”While the government has asked for
peace without stipulating a. prelimina-
ry suspension of "hostilities, it is sup-
posed that an armistice will be declar-
ed as soon as the basis is agreed upon,
and pending a definite settlement. None
of these bases has yet been submitted,
but among the conditions mentioned is
one relative to an international con-
ference in London to arrange the fut-
ure of the Philippine islands.
"We do not believe the Americans
will propose such a conference, be-
cause they have no interest in doing so
and could not derive any benefit there-
from. Neither is the Spanish govern-
ment favorable to such a conference,
considering that the negotiations which
it has opened directly with the United
States, are better calculated to secure
a good understanding between the two
countries.
It is understood that the Spanish
transport Isla de Panay and Isla de Lu-
zon will sail from Cadiz to-day for
Santiago de Cuba, in order to embark
the Spanish prisoners of war.

More Business Is Being Dune This Jul!
Than Any Other Year on Reord. ‘ ‘ -
' New York, July 30.-—Big business in
January is expected. but big business
' in July means more; It is the month
of all others when'trade is naturally
light. New engagements are ordinarily
deferred, and men wait for the out-
come and [movement of crops. But more
business is being done this year than
in any previous July of which there
.are records. The payments through
clearing houses have been 5.8 per cent.
larger than in 1892, the year of great-
est prosperity heretofore, and for the
month thus far 6.5 per cent. larger
than last year and 8.4 percent. larger
than in 1892. But these records and
others have to be judged in the light
of a heavy decline in prices since 1802,
so that the volume of business trans-
acted is about 20 per cent. larger than
the volume of payments indicates.
There is no pressure in the money
market nor fear of any, the tendency
being all the time toward greater de-
pendence of other countries upon the
United States. Although foreign ‘crop
advices are encouraging, harvests are
yet to come in many countries, and
~meanwhile the buying of breadstuffs
continues larger than usual at this sea—
son.
To the people of this country the
crops mean more than anybody can
calculate. In spite of Some actual and
much speculative injury, the fact re-
mains that the Yield of wheat is cer-
tainly the much largest ever known,
, and the prospect is gOOd for a heavy
yield of cotton, with about as large a
yield of corn as last year, while an
enormously valuable hay crop has been
saved. Considering that the purchases
of nearly half the people depend on the
success of agriculture, and that the
prosperity of the entire transporting
interest is materially affected by the
size of the crops to be moved, it may
be said with reason that the promise
of general prosperity this year is un-
usually bright. Wheat receipts for the
month thus far have, been 7,309,333
bushels, against 10,652,074 last year,
but prices have declined 11 1-2 cents,
and farmers are holding back their
wheat in the hope of higher prices. The
exports for the week have been 1,307,-
815 bushels, from Atlantic ports, flour
included, against 1,718,738 last year; and
. from Pacific ports 126,117 bushels,
against 429,291 last year, making for
the month 8,833,192 bushels, against 7,-
342,467 last year. Corn has a little ad-
vt'nce in 'prices,,owing to reports of in-
, jury to the crop, and also because ex-
ports for the month thus far have been
. singularly'well maintained, amounting
l to 6,767,963 bushels, against 8,009,616 last
‘ year. Wheat, on the contrary, has
._.._.
dropped about 9 1-2 cents, with pros—
pect of further decline.
The official report of iron production
for the first half of 1898 shows an in-
crease of over half a million tons com-
pared with any previous half year, and
what is far more important, the con-
sumption in manufactures appears for
the half year to have exceeded the out-
put. .
Boots and shoes go out from Boston
in greater quantity than in any pre-
vious July, 361,239 cases, this month
against 351,359 cases in 1895, and 318,,-
074 in 1892. Reports of stop _ es do not
seem to be warranted by! ‘ese heavy
shipments, and the makers are run-
ning in spite of the reported contro-
versy about prices.
Exports from New York during four
,weeks of July have been $5,200,000, or
29 per cent. larger than last year, while
imports have been $5,900,000, or 23 per
cent. smaller than last year. Stocks
have remained little changed in price,
the average rising from $59.04 to $59.87
for the week. Failures for three weeks
of July have been $7,400,318 in amount
against $4,463.251 last year, $12,069,481 in
1896, $8,392,727 in 1895, and $9,016,778 in
1894. Manufacturing have been $3,095,062
against $1,954,945 last year, and $5.553,-
211 in 1896, and trading have been 82,-
444,684 against $2,459,730 last year, and
$5,258,450 in 1896. Failures for the week
{have been 225 in the United States,
against 236 last year, and 26 in Canada
against 28 last year. -
