The Philippines Trade. Washington, March 21.-The develop
ment of the Philippines, commercially and industrially, for the first ning months of 1903 is the subject of a special bulletin by the Bureau of Insular Affairs. It is shown that both in imports and exports there was an increase compared with a corresponding period in the preceeding year. Heavy exports of hemp and copra, offsetting heavy imports of rice, explain the increase during the period named. The imports were $26,601,610, against 824,338,322 for 1902. The exports amounted to $23,563,128,' an - increase of over $4,000,000.
The rice imports were the only ones that increased, and there was a falling off in general trade, the United States losing 10 per cent and the United Kingdom 16 per cent, while Spain has only two-thirds of the amount of her trade in 1902.
United States exports to the islands in- creased from 87,232,411 to 89,368,066, and the trade with Spain was practically the But a small part of this was carried 635 under the American flag, and all but 6 per cent of the general trade of the island is done in foreign bottoms,

The Thibet Mission, Chambi, March 19.-The second com- pany of Mounted Infantry, commanded by Captain Peterson, arrived at Linginathẳngị to-day and completes the fighting force, The corps is raised from the 5th and 24th Punjab Infantry and the Guides. The re- cent negotiations with the Bhutanese have resultöd in the concession of a road through either the Ammo Chu or Dichu valleys to the plains of Indis. The Ammo Chu is the natural outlet from Chumbi, an
and new road will shorten the journey to Chumbi by several days and considerably increase trade facilities between Thibet and India.
