Frightful Desoiation Wrought by the Cu-

Havana. March 6.-The condition OF
affairs in the province Of Pinar del Rio
is little less than appalling. The rich
Vuelto Abajo tobacco district seems to
have been put to the torch, and is re-

towns have been obliterated and their

brought great wealth TO the people OF

When the first column of the Spanish
troops arrived on the site Of the town
they found only debris and smoking
ashes and all around a seeming limit
less sea of fire. A hundred desolate
families had taken refuge in poor hnts
outside of what was once the town, and
were waiting helplessly for any assist
ance that would save them from starva-
ton. They were without clothes and
without food.
The adjoining town of San Luis had
a narrow escape. The inhabitants had
already fled outside. seeking a refuge
from the flames which the torch was
ready to apply. when Gen. Carell at the
head of a detachment of troops, made
his appearance. and the insurgents
evacuated the town.

THE AyrBRACIrE coAL SUPPLY,

III 10 ANTI KdClTE COAL oCTTLI.
This is the kind of weather in which
the approaching exhaustion of the coal
supply can perhaps be looked on with
as much calrnness as at any time. The
anthracite coal of this country will
give out sooner than most people
think Practical men who have been
recently studying the question and TAX
ing stock Of the anthracite tonnage
supply of the future find that we are
quite in sight of the limit of it's ex-
haustion. Mr. William Griffith of Scran-
ton, who has been writing for the Bond
Record an elaborate series of papers
on anthracite coal, places the still unS
used supply at 5o73, 7S6,75o tons. The
figures are intentionally conservative,
and relate to the amount available for
shipment only, local consumption be-
ing excluded. A previous estimate
made in 1892, in which is reckoned the
total anthracite disable as fuel, includ-
ing that in culm piles and pillars,
places the amount at $500, 900 tons.
The most liberal estimate yet made is
that of the Pennsylvania coal waste
commission which is as high as
6,S98 200, 900 tons. These are very large
figures, but on the basis of the ship
ments of 1896 the life of the anthracite
industry is limited to 100 years. More
over, as the average rate Of increase
of the last twenty-five years is 1900,
600 tons per annum, the shipments OF
1895 can hardly be accepted as a final
ity. 1t is the opinion of Mr.. Joseph
S. Harris, president of the Philadel-
phia & Reading Railroad company
that the limit of annual shipment will
never exceed 6o,oOO,0oO tons-a point
which will be reached early next cen
tury--and that, therefore, the supply
will last about "a years.
What will happen when there is nc
more anthracite coal cannot now be
told, but it is probable that some eff.
fective substitute for it will be found
