SPANISH

Havana, March "a strong effort is
being made for united action by the
Spanish merchants and importers of
the entire island looking to a complete
severance of commercial relations with
the United States. Cienfuegos dis
patches announce anti-American DEM
onstrations to be held there tonight.
The Ceinfuegos chamber of commerce
resolved. as a protest against the ac-
ton of the United States. to cancel all
orders outstanding for American goods
and to boycott United States goods of
all kinds in future.
Commercial organizations in Ha-
vana, Matanazas. Cardenas and other
cities have been notified of the Glen
fuegos merchants action and asked
to cooperate. The Havana chamber
OF commerce Immediately held a meet
ing and passed resolutions congratu-
lating the Cienfuegos chamber of COM
merce on its patriotic attitude and
promising to lay its action before Ha-
vana's several commercial organiza-
tions for action.
The Havana Produce exchange also
held a meeting to consider the Glen
fuegos proposition. After much patrl-
otto talk, the conservative element pre-
vailed. The meeting contented itself
with sending a dispatch to the Glen
fuegos merchants applauding their
patriotic motives, but emitting to
pledge cooperation in the proposed
boycott.
The Diario de la Marina says edi-
torially: we are pleased to know of
the efforts being made to sever our
commercial relations with the United
States as a protest against the action
Of the American senate and house.
According to our information, the Ha.
vana, as well as the Cienfuegos bust
ness community, will agree to suspend
all pending orders that are now placed
in the United States. We applaud this
patriotic resolve"

TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION.

Havana, March 6.-The reopening Of
telegraphic communication with the
region of Pinar del Rio brings the first
detailed information of affairs in that
province for several weeks.
The condition of affairs disclosed is
little less than appalling. The rich
Vuelta Abajo district seems to have
been put to the torch, and is apparent
ly reduced to a bowling and desolate
wilderness. While towns have been
obliterated and reduced to a heap of
ashes their inhabitants are wandering
helpless yer the face of the country
without a place to lay their heads, or
wherewithal to be clothed, and many
of them starving.

NEW THINGS IN GOLD MINING.
A Striking Decrease In the Cost of Get
ting the Metal.

A quarter OF a century has wrought
a complete revolution in gold mining.
Not only has placer mining largely
given away to lode mining, but in the
latte the methods in vogue bear little
resemblance to those of no farther
back than, say, 1870.
Two signal items in the line of pro-
gTess have been the Introduction of
high explosives and improved drills.
In 1870 dynamite was unknown. So
was the compressed air drill. At hat
time it cost something like S14 Or SIS,
in this country at least, to drift a foot
in culinary rock and ore. Today 1t
costs less than s..
Twenty-Five years & the average
expense of stopping that is, OF get
ting out the ore after it had been reach
ed by a tunnel or shaft, was about $3.50
II foot Today it is in the neighbor-
hood of 65 cents.
The management of a gold mine in
this day is little short OF an exact
science. applied with rigid economy.
With the old wasteful and expensive
methods, it is safe to say that half the
mines 10Y in operation would not be
in existence.
Along with improved methods has
come a steady fall in the price OF every
thing that enters into the working of a
mine. There are very lew great pro-
ducers at the present time which do not
have ready access to the railroads.
with cheap transportation charges and
cheap supplies.
In good old days leaning was wont
to bring SIG a day: now it will not
bring over 81. Candles, which used to
cost 500 a box, now cost less than S..
Giant powder, which used to sell at 81
n pound, now brings only IL or IA
cents. Tie prices of fuses per- thou
sand feet has dropped from $50 to s..
iron from 90 cents a pound to 8 cents.
steel from 40 cents to 9 cents. shovels
and picks from $3.50 and $3.75 to 81
each.
And smelling charges have been re-
duced from $50 and sos to from SO to
$l4. In Colorado oil is now largely
used for this purpose. and where it
once cost So a gallon it nov brings only
Is or 20 cents.
The opening of the coal fields OF
Colorado, Wyoming and other western
states has Cheapened the price OF coal
in almost equal degree.
Averaging this striking fall in prices,
a western mining authority computes
that s27 will buy the same mining sup,
plies which cost 800 in 1870. Mean
while, an ounce of gold is worth in
coin s20.67, just as it was 25 years ago,
and, for that matter. just as it was
more than half a century ago.
Cyanide, chlorination, bromination
and other similar processes have taken
the place Of the old and extravagantly
wastcful devices. and ores thai yielded
S. to 80 a ton by amalgamation now

Omaha, Neb., March ct was de-

General Henderson returned from

every day that neither Mr.. Reed nor
Mr.. Mckinley can be nominated by the
