Washington. Nov. lex Minister
Scruggs, who is acting as counsel for
the Venezuelan government called al
the White House today. but owing to
the cabinet meeting did not see the pres

Mr. Scruggs says the effect OF the

in Nenezula. and also the entire Orinoco

lands at the mouth. The British have
coaling station and rendezvous on one
Of these islands. but Mr.. Scrugss says
the British occupancy began in 1885 and
cannot possibly come within the fffty-year
term OF the settlement. In his opinion,
the evidence will narrow the British
ffty-ysar occupancy 10 the small strip
Of land, triangular in form. between the
Cupuni and Pomeron rivers. This IS
far 10 the east and south OF the valuable
Orineeo. which constitutes the great is

of this hin. and from the first TO the
last the distance as the crow flee is
not more than half . mile. The Reish
mine, which is the only ore worked
on a large scale or with yigor, produces
the greater part of the turquoises at
present sent to market 1t is near the
top of one of the highest ridges, at
an altitude of about 5000 feet above
sea le7el. The entrance il followed
out cave, about - yards across, with
a vertical shaft some five yards in di-
ameter. Two men We're reclining at
the mouth OF this shaft with their
backs against the wall of the cave, and
turning with their bare feet n rickety
wooden wheel, which brought up the
debris from below in a small sheepskin
bag holding no more than peek, per-
haps. This was received by third
nan, who unlocked, emptied and re-
attached il. The other two men re-
moved their feet, and the bag went
down with a run some 40 feet where
three ether men were similarly en-
gagged on a ledge in the shaft The
mlEe itself is so or 90 feet from the
surface. The miners first descend by
means of a narrow diagonal tunnel,
and then scramble down the rough
sides OF the shaft.
At the mouth of the cave, which is
on the PERCEPTIONS hillside, half dozen
men were seated close together on a
ledge, breaking with small hammers
the fragments of rock as they were
brought up from below. When a tur-
quoise was discovered II was placed on
one side in its rough state, encased in
rock, and sent to Meshed. Unfortu-
nately, though the mine is very pro-
ductive, and the turquoises of good
shape, their color soon goes. Since the
Abdur Rezai mine fell in it may be
said that the stones of perfect shape
and eelor are very rarely found. But,
though really good turquOises are rare,
there is abundance of imperfect and
bad stones, which are eagerly bought.
for all orientals prize them, and the
very poorest like to possess even green
AMI spotted one set in tin ring. 1t
is more than likely, however. that the
Hill contains an abundance of good
stones. Some of these now found look
excellent at first, but the color in most
eases soon fades, or a green tiHge is
developed. or spots appear on them.
Some of these white spots can only
be detected at first with q glass, and
then as mere speck, but in time they
may expand and spread right across
the stone. The color Of most faded
turquoises can be temporarily revived
by damPness. In Meshed no one would
dream OF buying q turquoise OF good
color without possessing it fnt FOR
some days, for IL is the most treaeher-
Gus of all precious stohes- The tar-
quoises, as soon as they are ept IN
Mcshed, are nearly all sold at once
for export, and their price in The town
rises at least 1000 per cent Some
years ago one could obtain in Meshed
good turquoises Of perfect shape, fine
color, fair size, and without flaw for
a few shillings each Turqucises arc at
present far cheaper at Tifiis and Con-
stsntinople than IT Meshed, and at those
towns ono might perhaps find some Of
good color which have been IN stock for
years.-London Times

WHERE MACEo is POSTED
Member of His staff Describes His Inacces-
sible Position.

New Orleans. Lo., Nov. 17.-Captain
Armando Andre, one Of the youngest ana
hrayest OF General Maceo's staff, arrived
here Saturday from Cuba. In an inter
view. in answer to questions, Captain
Andre said:
General Maceo counts, in the province
of Pinar del Rio, some 10000 men or al
arms. which are divided into groups or
300 and over, or less, as the case may
be, and which operate each IN one dls-
trict, but IN constant communication
with the general headquarters OF the
main army AIaceo, with his staff and
perhaps 1000 men, has his headquarters
IN inc hills between Sam Cristobal and
Cayabos. They are adj well clothed and
fed. having plenty of ammunition, and
will give an account Of themselves The
CordiIlera, or Mills in which General Ma
Geo is established, is 200 miles in length
by sixteen 10 twenty-four in Width, ana
every hill is stronghold.
The sides of these hills, which rise Of
ten to ]. 900 feet above the sea level, are
covered with a very thick underbrush, or
'rnanigua' often in stretches by thick for
ests, and here and there in pieces Of open
land. The only way to get 10 the top OF
the mountains is by mule paths, and on
these no more than two or four men can

bans are also protected by mines and
traps, which are unknown TO any but
, the guides of the Cuban army. Should
the Spanirds succeed in getting to the
top of any hill, they would have to pass
Dver countless dynamite mines. which are
ready TO be set off by the pressing of a
button. The SpaniaTds have only on two
occasions managed to get half way UP
TIE hills. Once was when General Sur
eaz Inclan attempted it at Taco Taco,
and another time when General Gonzales
Munoz attacked CarcaraJacara, both al
temps ending in signal defeats for the
Spanards-
In this range of hills there are spots

morning by Rothschild, Baum g. Stern,
one OF the largest clothing manufactur-
ing firms OF this city. The liabilities
