Spanish PRECIOUS METALS ee FOUND The Secretary of the Interior has just made public an important report on the mineral resources of the Philippine Islands by George F. Becker of the geological sur- vey. This memorandum probatly covers all the main discoveries in the geology cf the Philippines which are of econuinic in- terest. It is drawn up from data recorded in the Spanish mining bureau, but not pnb- lished—manuscript mine reporis by the iate William Ashburner, verbal information ob- tained in Manila and various technical pub- lications of Semper, Santos, Roth, Drasche, Abella and others. Only about a score of the islands are known to contain deposits of valuable min- erals. These are arranged below in the or- der of their latitude, to give an idea of their seoxraphical distribution and to facilitate finding the islands on the map. The lati- tude of the northern end of each is taken as that of the island. The character of the valuable minerals stated in the table will afford a general notion of their resources.

It is analagous to the Japan al and to that of Wash- ington, but act to the Welsh or Pennsylva- of era, asa known, the c is nia coals. Such lignites usually contain considerable combined water (S to 18 per cent) and bear transportation ill. They are also apt to contain much sulphur, as tron pyrite, rendering them subject to sponta- neous combustion and injurious to boiler Plates.

Copper ores are reported from great number of locali in the Philippine: They are said to occur in the following islands: Luzon (provine of Lepanto, Ben- | guet and Camarines), Mindoro, Capul, Mas bete, Panay (province of Antique) and Min- nao (province of Surigao). Many of these arren probably unimportant.

It is generally believed that this process must have been introduced from China or Japan. It is practiced only ene peculiar tribe of natives, the [gorrotes, who are remarkable in many ways. Vague reports and the routes by which copper smelted by natives comes to market indicate that there are copper mines in various portions of the Cordillera Central, but the only deposits which have been ex- in alter amined with any care are those at Mancay- an (about five miles west of Mount Data) and two or three other localities within a few miles of Mancayan. The deposits of Mancayan are described as veins of rich ore, reaching seven meters in width and ar- ranged in groups. Mean assays are said to show 16 per cent of copper, mainly as tetrahedrite and allied ores. The gangue is quartz. The country rock is described as a large quartzite lens embedded in a gTeat mess of trachyte. An attempt has been made by white men to work these de- posits, but with no considerable success. The failure does not seem to have been due to the quality or quantity of ore found. Lead and Silver. A lead mine has been partially devel- oped near the town of Cebu, on the island of the same name. ‘The most important deposit of argentifer- ous galena is said to be at Torrijos, on the small island of Marinduque (latitude 13 de- grees 34 mimutes). A metric ton, or 1,000 Kilograms, is said to contain 96 grams of silver, 6 grams of gold and 565.5 kilograms of lead. In Camarines, a province of Luzon, lead ores occur, but are worked only for the gold they contain. Iron. There is iron ore in abundance in Luzon, Carabello, Zebu, Panay, and. doubtless in other islands. In Luzon it is found in the provinces of Laguna, Pampanga and Ca- marines Nort>, but principally in Bulacan. The finest deposits are in the last-named province, near a small settlement named Camachin, which lies in latitude 15 degrees 7 minutes and longitude 124 d2grees 47 minutes east of Madrid. A small industry exists here, wrought iron being produced in a sort of bloomery and manufactured into plowshares. The process has not been de- scribed in detail so far as I know. It would appear that charcoal pig iron might b> pro- duced to some advantage in this region. The lignites of the archipelago are probably unsuitable for tron-blast furnaces, Quicksilver. Rumors of the occurrence of this m>tal in Panay and Leyte have failed of verifica- tien. Accidental losses of this metal for prespectors or surveyors sometimes lead to reports of the discovery of deposits, and others are not seldom mistaken for im- pure cinnabar. Nonmetallic Substances. Sulphur deposits abound about active and extinct volcanoes in the Philippines. In Luzon the principal sulphur deposits are in Daclan, in the province of Benguet, and at Colasi, in Camarines. The finest deposit in the archipelago 1s sald to b2 on the little island of Billram, which Hes to the north- west of Leyte. Marble of fine quality occurs on the small island of Romblon (latitude 12 degrees 37 minutes). It is much employed in churches in Manila for baptismal fonts and other purposes. Marbles are also quarried at Montalban in the province of Manila, and at Binangonan in the province of Marorg. There are concessions for mining kaolin at Losbanos in Laguna province. Pearl fisheries exist in the Sulu Archi- pelago, and are said to form an important source of wealth. +04 YELLOW FEVER IN HAVANA Increasing Number of Cases Alarms the American Colony. Two Clerks in Quartermaster’s Office Down With the Disease— Lack of Attention. The New York Herald's special correspon- dent at Havana, Cuba, wires, under date of Sunday: The yellow fever situation here is causing great anxiety among the Amer- ican officials. The increasing number of « . a majority of which are of a serious nature, has alarmed th? entire American colon; and the announcement today of two new victims cavsed the alarm to de- velop almost the ch: eter of a panic. The disease is apparently spreading rapidly, and is not confined to the Vidado district,whe Capts.

This serious outbreak in the quarterma: ter's department has temporarily disorga ths work of the office, which has charge of the erection of camps and mak- ing preparations for the reception of troops. AS matters now stand it cely seems possible to get them ready by De- cember 15, the latest approximate date yet named.

A private doctor was called in, but he had no attendance save that provided by friends in the sam» office. He has lain until today Without proper attention, when Dr. Brun- her, the physician attending him, proposed a subscription among the Americans to previde a nurse and to obtain necessaries, Before this plan was carried into effse Clerk Curri2 of the quartermaster’s office Went out this morning to the Troteha and saw Gen.

Williams to say that he gave instructions that Stuart should have everything necessary, but his own and Chief Clerk Caldwell’s fllness dis organiz-d the office work. The other clerks they did not know how serious was Stuart's condition and that they did all for him they could personally do. What in- attention, however, he hes suffered was due to the lack of a proper system to meet this rapidly ding outbreak, Immune nurs?s are especially required, as well 2s a properly equipped isolation hospi- tal. Dr. Laine, whom I saw ioday, regards the situation as grave. He strongly recom- merded the proposal to bring properly tra‘ned immune nurses. The assistance ob- tained locally is very inefficient.

Claim a Solid Con- gressional Delegation. REPUBLICANS CONCEDE THEM NINE Interest of Virginians in the North Carolina Contest. SHIPMENTS OF ARMS Special frow a-Staff Correspondent. RICHMOND, Va., ‘Novetnber 7.—The democrats claim that they will elect a solid delegation to the national House of Repre- sentatives at the election tomorrow. The republicans concede to their opponents nine out of the ten, and admit that the other one is in doubt. Mr. J. Taylor Ellyson, chairman of the democratic state central committee, said to The Star correspondent: “The democratic outlook in Virginia is very encouraging. There is a splendid chance to carry all the districts. The most interesting contests are those in the fourth, fifth, ninth and tenth districts. believe, however, that Mr. Sydney P. Epes, who was unseated by the republi- cans In the House a few months ago, will be elected by @ good majority from the fourth district, and that Mr. Claude A. Swanson will be returned from the fifth by a better majority than in 1896, Judge W. F. Rhea, who. is contesting with Gen- eral James A. Walker for the right to rep- resent the ninth district, has made a most active and aggressive campaign. Our party is well organized, and our party leaders in the district are confident of the election of Judge Rhea. “The tenth has been for a number of years a closely contested district, but Judge James A. Quarles, our candidate, has made a very active canvass, and I believe he will be elected.” ; In the ninth district, where the opposing candidates are General James A. Walker, formerly commander of the old Stonewall Brigade, and Judge Rhea, the former has been able to win heretofore by reason of tis war record. It is said, however, that he has lost his “grip” to a large extent on thi lement, as they believe the day is past when he should expect to receive 1 ward for what he did nearly forty yea ago, especially as they have sent him to the national House of Representatives a number of terms. Jadge Rhea’s Appeal. Judge Rhea has issued an appeal to the voters of the ninth district to rally to his support at the polls, and in part says: “If I am not elected I will have the con- solation of believing that I have tried to do my duty as the standard bearer of my party. I have done all that was possible for me to do in evéry way. I wish I could have done more. The issue is now sub- mitted and the result is in the hands of my friends and‘ Supporters. The fight is won, if we will press it vigorously and ag- vely to the, end. have the enemy demoralized and on the run. Now is the time to press our advantage. I would caution you against over-contidence, and, on the other hand, if all of our friends will do their duty we can und will make the defeat crushing and overwhelming. “I appeal to alftg give as much time as possible to thes ng days of the cam- paign. The néws from every county and precinct in the district shows our friends to be active and determined. If this is kept up until sundospti gm election day defcat is impossible: ~~ “T especially requ@st and urge, a of the utmost importaneeg-the™ getting of every yotr tortie) Done. his can be easily done if systematically pusued. 1 have“tried to impress everywhere: during the campaign that it is work thatywins in political con- tests, and I wopld now try to impress this stronger, if possibile: Let the watchword be, ‘Work! Work! Work!’ Get every voter to the polls, and my election is as certain as any future event can be.” It is claimed by the democrats that Judge Rhea has been making such an industrious, aggressive and intelligent canvass against General Walker that he has won back many who voted against the party in 1s, and has infused life and vigor into many other democrats who were listless or indifferent a few months ago. It is asserted that he has proved “a worthy champion of the nocratic cause in a district where able ship and personal magnetism are es- sential to success; that he has been hard at work from the word ‘go; nor will bis efforts to win cease until the last vote has been polled in his district.” Repu an Concession. bove intimated, the republi- cans concede the election of Judge Quarle democrat, in the tenth district, and it is be- lieved he will have about 700 majority. He is very popular, especially in his home county, Augusta, which, it is claimed, will give enough majority to overcome by se eral hundreds the majority which Co T. Hubard of Buckingham, his opponent, is expected to receiv publican counties, most of which are cast the Blue Ridg number of ne; and in which there are a r ters. The democrats claim that the repubii state central committee has not tre them fairly in regard to the holding of meetings in Augusta county. A member of the committee said: “Col. R. T. Hubard, Col. James Lyons, Col J. Hampton Hoge and Cc Brown Allen have made what they call a still hunt through Aug county in the interest of the republican party. They hope to run the democratic "coon up the tree with dogs that do not bark, and hardly let the ‘coon know they are after him till the tree is ready to fall. They took the pains to make all their appointments so as to fall just after the democrats had spoken in t neighborhood, and thus get the Ja: word and ep away the effect of the democratic also left the slime of their of a corruption fund, it is sald, and this being so in keeping with re- publican practices, it is certainly reason- able to believe it’ on general _ principles. This ‘still hunt’ ts the device of Allen. Tt is the evolution of his upward tendency in polities, growing and improving in force and elegance by reason of his long experi- ence and greater profundity of knowledge. It has a flavor of stealthiness about it which is not apt to set well upon the people of Augusta. “Taese people are high-minded. They conduct their business in a manly way, and as to their religion and their politics, or their other beliefs, they have nothing to conceal about them.;. These are an open book, and when tpowicome sneaking in or wish to do thing¥’behind the door, or, in a cat-like or stealthy Jpanner, undértaro to enlist them in a,gause, they become doubt: ful about the egyse ind are slow to tak old of it. ace Tt Tactigs Denounced. “These tactics might suit in some sec- tions. It may sit tien after the manner of these men, some; of whose principles have undoubtedly, ehanged for the sake of official advancentént, but it will be hard to cram such politits down the throats of the people of Augustg, ordeceive them by such questionable methods, “Knowing as We\dd that these methods have been practiced, and that their cam- paign was one of queStionable methods, in- stead of being bofd, open, fearless and their principles high and of a character to en- tice honorable men, we do not believe the democrats will ever be drawn from their party psth or principles. Certatniy re- publicanism in North Carolina has been such that our people do not want it. Nor have they forgotten the past. when we were threatened by some of these same leaders with such dangers to our peace and good government as makes us tremble when we see the narrowness of our escape. It is hoped and believed that the democrats will show their repudiation of ‘still hunting* and ‘still hunters’ by going to the polls on Tuesday and forever placing their stamp of disapproval on such methods.” The republicans take much comfort in the fact that Representative Yost has can- vassed the district in favor of Col. Hubard.
