WASHINGTON, August 14.-When Uuclo Sam begins to count up what he has gained as a result of the war with Spain he will lind that thc money value of his new possessions far over balance the money cost of thc war. This will be true should he retain nothing beyond what is assured to him by thc protocol signed to-day, for |thcrc is no doubt that tho value of Porto Rico and thc island ip thc La drones-which aro thc only posses sions positively assured to thc United States by the protocol-is far in excess of thc actual expense of conducting thc war. Should the President act in accordance with the wishes of a ma jority of the American people and hold thc Philippines, and should Cuba revert to the possession of the United States iu the end, thc cash outlay on account of the war will seem small when compared with the sources of national wealth added to the United States. NAVAL AND MILITARY VALUE. In thc first place, their naval and military value will be considered. Aside from the possession of Porto Rico and the certainty that whether wc actually possess Cuba or not, the mere expulsion of Spain from her strongholds at the entrance to thc Carribbean Sea and the gulf of Mex ico is of itself a matter of the greatest military value to thc United States; it is impossible to estimate in dollars aad cents what might be the \v.?uc of Porto Rico, strongly fortified and gar risoned, as an eastern and southern outpost on the highway to the Carib bean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Inter-Oceanic Sea. The strategic value of Cuba will be even greater than that of Porto Rico. The actual cash value of thc new possessions of the country-what they would bring if put up and sold at auction, with all their real estate and improvements-no one in Washington will attempt to estimate. An idea can be formed in several ways, how ever, as to what they are worth to the United States. In thc Pacific, on the highway to the Orient and Australasia, the value of military and naval bases in the Ladrones and the Philippines will be very great. They will be points of call and of safe refuge for American commerce, which is destined to assume vast proportions in the Pacific, and will be beacon lights of Anglo-Saxon civilization to the hundreds of millions in the awakening Orient. VALUE OP COMMERCE. Such figures as can be given relative to the commercial value of the. new colonial possessions which the war has placed at the disposal of the United States are based, of course, upon the conditions which prevailed under Spanish rule. Porto Rico, in proportion to its area, was probably tho most valuable of all of Spain's colonial possessions. With an area of 3,050 square miles, the island supports a population of 807,000. Of these inhabitants more than 500,000 are white, au unusual propOfti?? for a tropioai American country. This island paid to the Spanish treasury in taxes 4,000,000 pesos annually, which is equivalent to about ?800,000. The total value of imports into the island in normal years amounted to about $18,000,000, and the exports about $16,000,000. Thc exports from the United States to Porto Rico averaged about $2,250,000 per year, and tho importa into this country about the same amount. With thc islands in the possession of the United States and the differ ential duty in favor of Spanish trade abolished its geographical position will cause most of its commerce to flow to and from thc ports of tho United States. It will furnish a market for large quantities of food products, textile fabrics, iron and steel, and coal, and from it tho United States will receive principally coffee, tobacco and sugar. It is in the line of coffee cultivation that tho greatest development of Porto Rico is expected in tho near future. A HEALTHY I8LAMD. The island is also the healthiest of all the West Indies, and when enlight ened systems of sanitation are applied to the cities and towns it will not be an unpleasant place of residence, es pecially in the winter months, and when San Juan Bay becomes the head quarters of the North Atlantic naval station from November until April it' will. become a rival of the Florida winter resorts for fashionable tour ists. The island of Cuba has an area of 41,663 square miles, and before the beginning of the insurrection had a population of about 1,600,000, but this has been considerably redueed, and some estimates place the present pop ulation as low as 1,200,000. The revenues of Cuba have Seen an impor tant item in the Spanish fiscal system, amounting in normal years to about 20,000,000 pesos, or about $5,000,000. According to the Statesmen's Year Book only about 10 per cent of the area of Cuba has been brought under cultivation. The total annual imports into Cuba io normal years before the insurrection amounted to from $65, 000,000 to $70,000,000 per year, and the exports to about $95,000,000. That by far the greater amount of this commerce will hereafter be with the United States when there are no dis* cri mimi nation s in favor of Spain is assured. The commercial importance of the Ladrones is inconsiderable. There are in ?ll the islands of the group only about ten thousand inhabitants, and the shipments of the United States to the island that is to be retained in this group will probably be limited to suoh supplies as maybe needed for the military and naval station that will be maintained there. The pro ducts of tho islands arc those that are common to all tropical countries, and they are capable of being made of much greater importance commercially thau they have ever been under Span ish rule. The commercial importance of thc Philippines cannot be measured by the scanty data obtainable. Spanish civilization has never prevailed far beyond the fortified coast cities held by thc Spanish garrisons, and even in Luzon many of the inhabitants arc practically savages. Tho area of all the islands in the group is about 114,320 square miles, and tho population is variously esti mated at from seven to ten millions. The annual revenues under Spanish rule amounted to about $10,000,000. The animal exports from the islands amount to about $20,000,000 aud thc imports to about $10,000,000. Thc principal article o? export from the islaud is hemp which grows to greater perfection there than in any other place in the world. Tile other leading products are coffee, copra and to bacco. That gold exists in thc Philippines has long been known. Puder the stimulus of Anglo-Saxon enterprise the deposits of precious metals would be developed, and thc Philippines would become an important contribu tor to tho gold supply of thc world. jYcir Yuri: Herat il. Hard Luck of a Spanish Spy. ATLANTA, GA.. Aug. 20.-Joseph Castellanos, alias (Jeorgo Kduard Vanderbilt, arrested in Tampa, Pla., three months ago, as a Spanish spy, and since that time imprisoned at Port McPherson, was given his liberty to gether with three other suspects to day. The men quickly separated, and "Vanderbilt," clad in the Cuban uni form which he wore when arrested, came to town. His reception here was so demonstrative that he was soon placed in the central police station for safety, where his numerous wounds were dressed. He took his departure under cover of darkness. On reaohing Atlanta Vanderbilt was recognized by a crowd of half-drunken soldiers. They stopped him, but he refused to be interviewed. The sol diers decided to take him by force, and Vanderbilt took to his heels. This urged the soldiers on, and they were joined by a lot of citizens, who pummelled the fleeing man freely and let fly many stones and sticks. Van derbilt ran into a candy factory at thc corner of Alabama and Pryor streets. A large crowd collected about the store, and when the little man appear ed ot the door with two officers, who had been sont for, the cry of "Span ish spy!" was set up and it did not take the mob long to add the cries of "Kill him!" "Shoot him!" "Hang him!" The noise served to bring others into the procession, which swelled to large proportions, and by the time the police station was reached two thousand people were at thc heels of the officers. When the station was reached the officers rushed the little fellow into thc guard house, and the great iron gates were quickly closed to keep the mob back. Officers ran to the front doors and stood guard at them. "They turned me out this morning," said Vauderbilt, excitedly, "and I am not a Spanish spy, but an Ameri can citizen and a Cuban generul. See, I have thc stars on my coat sleeves to show ray rank in the Cuban army." Vanderbilt was bleeding from three or lour wounds on bis face and throat. One soldier had cut at him with a knife and left a bloody matk on his forehead. Another had grabbed him by thc throat and left prints of fingers. He claims to bc a relative of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and says his mother is at present in New York. - --mt mm A Letter of Consolation. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Presi dent has sent the following letter to Major Gen: Breckinridge commanding at Chiokamauga, in response to e urgent invitation from the latter that the President visit the oommand while it is still intaot : Executive Mansion, Washington, August ll, 1898.-Major Gen- Breck inridge, Chiokamauga Park, Ga.: Re plying to your invitation, I beg to say that it would give me great pleasure to show by a personal visit to Chick amanga Park my regard for the 40,000 troops of your command, who so patri otically responded to the call for volunteers, and who have been for upwards of two months making ready for any s erv ic o ari sacrifice the coun try might require. My duties, how ever, will not admit of absence from Washington at this time. The highest tribute that eau be paid i" ecldisr := tc ?zj th;: hs par formed his full duty.

Send for Hst of tes timonials I Traue With Porto IMco. A delegation of Charleston business tuen will leave this city about thc hit ter part of this \v?ek i'or New York. and ou August 27 will sail on a steamer leaving that port i'or Porto Rico. Thc party will consist of four, or perhaps 've men. chosen from tho various in torests of the city, and one of tho number, Mr. NV. A. Merchant, will represent thc city at largo. The other members of the commission will bo Mr. Walter Pringle, of Pringle Rros., representing the dry goods and notion interests. Mr. ll. b\ Bremer, of tho Charleston Importing and Exporting Company, representing thc coffee and grocery business, and Mr. l?. V. Mc Leod of the l)rade-lnnes-( ! reen Shoe Company, who will look after the chances of the Charleston shoe busi ness itt thc New American island. Thc aims and objects of this trip to Porto Rico have been set forth before, but the announcement of the actual making up of the party to go is just made public. The gentlemen named will visit thc principal ports of thc island of Porto Rico, and carefully ob serve the conditions and needs of the places. They will lind out what goods are saleable on the island, how the in habitants have been accustomed to make payments, and what would bc the best port for the landing of steam ers, should the report of the commis sion be so favorable as to cause thc es tablishment of a line from Charleston to the island of Porto Rico. The men who are interested in the journey of the commission have both iniluence and capital, and seriously consider thc opening of direct trade with the island. If a line is established, it will be done on a good scale, and the ships that will sale from Charleston will bc able to accotnodate passengers, as well us freight. Thc promoters of thc schemo have thc assurances of tho South Car olina and Georgia Railroad that the most ample support will be given, and that these transportation lines will do all in their power to bring Western goods to Charleston for export to Porto Rico. Thc commission will make a thorough canvass of the situation on the island- of Porto Rico, return as soon as possible, and make a full aud comprehensive repor . Mr. Merchant, while a member of the party is the g?n?ral representative of the city of Charleston, will also act as interpreter, and as he is thoroughly f amiliar with the language of thc island, his services will be very valuable.-New*and ('ou rirr. One Result of the War. The talk that $2,000.000 worth of ammunition was wasted in thc naval bombardment of the Santiago forts and batteries is all bosh. Even if no material damage was done-and such does not appear to have been the naso -the moral effect of that bombard ment was worth a high price. In ad dition to this wc have learned that strong coast defences are everything that thc name indicates, and this is something that is most important for the United States, with its extensive coast line, to know. European threats to lay waste our coast cities will here after be laughed to scorn as u result of Sampson's bombardment of Sau tiago.- Troy Times. - The number of sheep in the world is estimated at jttO.OOO.OOO. - Artificial legs and arms were in use in Eftypt as early as R.

The court martiai should be made to extend the oontraotors who supply the army. There has been a grievous fault somewhere that needs a remedy. - A Kentucky veteran says that the biggest bullies at home do not al ways make the best soldiers. "When quite a youth I knew a young man of the neighborhood who had the name of being the greatest fighter ia all that part of the State, and yet he was a complete failure as a soldier. Upon the other hand, in the same communi ty, was a wild-mannered, quiet boy, who oouldn't be induced to fight under any circumstances and was under the ban of 'coward' among all his acquaint ances. That so-called coward made one of the bravest and bent soldiers in thu ft th Vifennim ;??;2?rJ', irCji-CSt that was composed of as true material as ever went to battle." - Claude Murdock, a twelve-year old Bellevillle (Mich.) lad, who fought with the 34th Michigan volunteers in Cabs, and was struok in the forehead by a piece of an eiploding Spanish abell, wrote home to his mother of the Santiago battle, and calmly remarked that he killed a Spanish sharpshooter during the struggle, says the Detroit Tribuns. Gen. onsfter, in his report to Gen. Miles, spoke of the boy as a ? little hero, and rewarded him with a complete new uniform. - The Bamberg knitting mill is again on its feet. A French gentle man, Mr. Jrhn Mier, formerly the manager of the Manning knitting mills, is in charge. He has been unablo to supply the demand for the hosiery he mane at Manning.
