IRON ORE.
The Worlds Production for 1894 Esti-
mated at 52.6OO.OOO Long Tons.

The Worlds Production for 1894 Est1-
mated at %, 800, 200 Long Tons.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-John Berken-
bine, the iron-ore expert of Philadelphia.
has prepared for the Division OF Mineral
Resources of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey an exhaustive report of the
iron-ore resources of the world. in which
the production of iron ore in 1884 is esti-
mated at 81, 500, 900 long tons.
The portion of this report relating to
the United States shows the total produc-
tion of iron ore in this country In lS94
was II, ,S79.679 long tons OF 2,240 pounds,
as compared with IL ,5S7 ,629 long tons In
1893. This is an increase of about y per
cent. This production is only IS per
cent. of the maximum production of the
United States, namely, 1896 600 long
tons, which was the output IN 1o92. but Is
slightly greater than that OF 1895, the
proportion in that year being Il per-
cent. OF 1892, showing a remarkable fall
ing OIL. The falling off is further shown
by the statement that the average pro-
ductlon for the years from 1889 to 1892,
inclusive, was l5, ,26O, 4S2 long tons. while
Tor the last two years it has been but
IL, f33, bo4 long tons, difference of 3.626. SIS
tons.
OF the classes of iron oar mined, the red
hematIte continues to be the leading
variety, being l9 per cent of the total pro-
ductlon, brown hematite, magnetic and
carbonite following in the order named,
the last being only about three-fourths OF
l per cent of the total product.
The number of blast furnaces in opera.
ton also show an increase over 1893. The
number in blast at the close of 1893 was
l37, and at the close Of 1891 there were lS5.
Twenty-four States produced iron ore
in 1894, ranging in amount from 4.4l9.O74
tons in Michigan to 1915 tons in Mary
land. Most of the increase noted above
in production was in the Lake Superior
region, Minnesota showing the greatest
increase from .977 tons from I,IS9
to 1850, 463 tons in 1894, ranking sec
ond among the iron producing States,
while in 1898 she was third. Michigan
continues to be the largest producer,
holding this rank for six years. Alabama
is third, Virginia fourth and Pennsylva-
mia fifth.

of an engagement on the 18th near JovI-

bans attacked the city. The Cubans are
said to have opened general ire from
three forts on the Spaniards, who re-
treated, sending eighty men to another
station for reinforcements. When these
arrived the Gu bans withdrew.
The Cuban loss is placed at 700. The
Spanish lost twelve soldiers, one priest.

serve this coronation by army laws one
must fight against triple his forces, sus-
tain the battle for number Of hours. and

must necessarily be great.

Reported Lynchfng of Three Negro

JACKSONVILLE (Fla.). May 19.-Noth-
ing can be learned to-day confirming or
denying the story of the alleged lynching
in Lafayette County, in this State. of
three negroes-Samuel Echols, Sim
Crowley and John Brooks-for the sup
posed outrage and murder of Miss Arm
strong several days ago. Diligent inquiry
in Jacksonville, Madison and Ellaville
fail to get any further light beyond the
mere rumOr of yesterday. On this rumor
many wild stories were sent out over the
country last night, ahd wilder stories
without shred OF fact in theIn are being
sent out tonight.
One Of the stories is to the effect that
Miss Armstrong left her home several
days ago to spend the night with neigh
Dor who lived about two miles distant.
On the next day Miss Armstrong; father
went to the house of the neighbor to
bring his daughter home. and was sur
prised and alarmed to hear that nothing
had been seen of her.
Mr.. Armstrong alarmed the neighbors.
and posse was Immediately organized
to search for the missing girl. The corpse
was finally found in a clump OF bushes.
The body was in horrible condition,
the head crushed and her throat cut.
After caring for the dead the whites be-
gan search tor the perpetrators of the
deed. Every negro cabin in the vicinity
was visited and each negro examined to
see If he bore any marks of struggle.
AS they approached the home Of Sam
Echols he ran out and made for the
woods, but was stopped by bullet,
which wounded him slightly. The
man was examined and his face found
to be scratched. Threatened with in
stans death, he confessed thas he, with
Sim Crowley and John Brooks, had
killed Miss Armstrong. Echols said that
they had kept the girl for twenty-four
hours before killing her and for the
greater part of that time she was uncon-
scious.
Having secured the men implicated by
Echols, the white men proceeded with
them to the swamp on thu Shawnee
River, where they were tortured. Just
what manner of death was meted out to
them is not positively known, but it is
reported they were fiayed alive and then
burned.
