Governot Mo has received reports stating that during the fltc.il year ending June 30 the importa tions of rico to the Philippines decreas ed 01,072,411 pounds, valued at )3, 084,783 in gold. Commenting on the rtpnrte Governor Ide says: "From these reports it appears that tho number of pounds of rice Imported into the Philippines during the Ureal yenr of 1000 was something less than three-sevenths of the importations of 1901, and the cash sent out from tho islands for rice was less than four-elevenths of the sum sent in 1804.

MAY EXPEL EUROPE Paris Paper Fears South Ameri can Trade Nay Be Lost. CALLS ON FRANCE TO WATCH ROOT The United States Already Dominates North America and May Se cure South America. Paris, Aug. 2. The Llberte of Wed nesday night, under the caption of "Victims of the Monroe Ddctrine," printed a long and vigorous article on Secretary of Btate Root and the Pan American congress. It tauuts the French press for grudgingly printing a paragraph about Mr. Root's toasting South America between a list of con testants in a recent swimming match and the names of meritorious agricul turists. It ironically quotes an editor, who said that foreign politics are not sufficiently Parisian to Interest tho elite public and then twits the leaders of the republic with making tho question of conferring the decoration of the Legion of Honor on Sarah Bernhardt '.ho prin cipal affair of stato and tacitly asking why they should worry ovor South Americans, who Intorest Parisians only in vaudeville All this timo, says tho Liberte, Mr. Root was preparing, if he had not al ready mado effectivo, tho most redoubt able oporatlon In political economics, of which tho French will be dupes and with them all other Latin people, who, imitating them, try to bo Parisians. Tho results of ten years of intrigue In Pan-America are likely to be effective soon. Europo has already been expell ed from North America, and she will be oxpsllod from South America In lees than six years unless there Is energetic resistance immediately. Continuing the paper says that a few facta today are startlingly clear. Among them Is the fact that Europe has no right to defend her financial and commercial interests in South Aroe-lca, the United at Hylcs in " that :;ch nation Ii muter of iti own home with the Unlted'States at borne every where. Against 73,000,000 Latin peo ple stood Secretary Root and to that Yankee Intruder went favors and bene fits because he nlone spoke, flattered and menaced, He alone acted, while Latin Europe abstained. Already dis tant lands have slipped into Yankee hands, while at Constantinople, St. Petersburg, Toklo and Algeciras the same Root Intervened at his conven ience and Europo stupidly respected tho Mouroo doctrlno. Before tho conclu sion of the third Pan-American congress It will havo cost the Latin peoples a continent they peopled and financed. MUTINY SPREADS TO FLEET.
