to the Herald from Havana says :
The Havana press demands that
Madrid shall sustain Capt. Gen.
Weyler's decree suspending the
foreclosure of mortgages and liens
upon property to avert widespread
failures In business circles.
A story was current in Havana
that the captain general had re-
signed, and was to be succeeded as
governor general by Primero Wv
era and as commander IN chief by
Pelivioja. This was fatty denied
at the palace by Marquis de Pal
merola, secretary general of the
government, who denounced. the
report at canard maliciously set
afioat by personal or political en-
emies of the captain general.
"Gen. Weyler," the marqu is said (,

ceived kilograms from the govern

FAMOUS GUAINOPA MINES.
Mexicans Wild Over Their Rediscovery-
Are of Fabulous Richness.

Mexicans wild over Their hedlscovery-
Are of Fabulous Richness.
A special from Ell Paso, Tex, says that
Addison Munzenburger, q prominent
business man of that city, who owns
mining property in Mexico, has just
returned from the Corrallitos mining
district in Mexico, and says the peopls
there are wild over the rediscovery of
the famous Guainopa mines In the 81
ezra Madres, ON the Rio del Arras.
Frank Woodson, of California, an old
miner, brought in samples OF ore to
Corralitos last Sunday, stating that he
and an Indian boy had found the old
Guainopa mines ard that the ore was
from them. The ore assayed 81 900 in
silver and ten dollars in gold to the ton.
The discoveries also found a quantity
of bullion in the mine, which is stu
ated on the side of an almost perpen-
dicular wall Of mountain. Steps have
been chiseled in the stone leading to the
mouth of the shaft.
From records found in the possession
of an old priest at Zacatecas IL was
learned years ago that mines of fabu-
lous wealth located in the Sierra Madres,
on the Rio del Arras, were worked by
q colony of Spaniards, led by Senior
Guainopa, in .764, that the same year
the entire colony was exterminated by
the Indians, who held possession Of that
territory for 30 years. Numerous par
ties have searched for the mines dur
ing the past Is years.

CEMENTATION.
New Method Now Being Used for
Burying the Dead.
Those Who object to Cremation and
Dislike the Ordinary Method of
Burial May Give 1t Their
Approval

Cremation has made it's way steadily,
Notwithstanding the opposition it re-
ceived at first. There are, however,
many who still oppose this method, and
TO meet their objections. a process
known as concentration has been adopt
ed. The most conspicuous apostle OF
cementation is Judge Theodore G. Hu-
lett of Niagara Falls, N. Y. Through
his efforts it has been the prevailing
mode of burial at lakewood cemetery,
near Niagara Falls. The first body
cemented there was his daughter; the
next body another of his daughters.
Since that time about 60 bodies have
been buried in cement.
There are two processes of cementa-
tion-one by imbedding the coffin in
cement, the other by pouring the
cement around the nude body. When
the first method is used it is necessary
to prepare the body with antiseptics,
in order to preserve it thoroughly. This
method is the one commonly used ct
the cemetery. The other method is the
one which Judge Hulett has prescribed
by will and shall be used in his own
case. 1t preserves a perfect cast Of the
body.
The cementing of grave as prac-
ticed at lakewood cemetery is described
by Judge Hulett as follows: The grave
is made of the usual depth, and III
inches larger than the rough box that is
to contain the coffin. A concrete NOR
tar is then prepared of fresh water,
lime, cement, sand and fine, broken
stone, the proportions of which are
one part cement to three of sand and
broken stone.
This mixture is put in the bottom OF
the excavation to the thickness of about
eight inches; the rough box is laid upon
this cement so as to leave a space of
about eight inches on all sides between
the earth and the box. The concrete Is
poured into the space around the box.
It is well stirred with wooden point,
SO as to make it of an even consistency.
This part of the work may be done the
day before the burial.
After the coffin has been lowered into
the box lid is screwed on to the hat
ter, and then coat of cement eight
inches thick is laid on the lid. Care
must be taken that this cement unitHs
perfectly with that surrounding the
sides of the box. ..
When the top coat of cement is
hardened the name of the deceased and
any other words may be carved on it.
These will last almost forever.
In the other method of cementation,
which Judge Hulet considers prefer.
able, the body is laid nude in a rough
box. 1t is supported by number oil
unburned bricks. Cement Is then
poured in until it completely surrounds
the body and fills the box. When it i:
hardened the inscription is made on the
top and the lid is screwed on. All this
work may be done by the undertaken
who will have the body completely ce.
mented for the funeral ceremony.

AN EXPENSIVE HONOR.
The Experience of Popular California
Politician.

Fond and ambitious parents have a
way of naming their youngsters after
some popular public man, or some great
statesman, So in this imaginary hale,
the youth viii grow up to fame and for
tune. Great men are said to be pleased
with this species of adulation, but their
recognition of the honor is not always
very substantial. A Washington CORES
pondent tells of a well-known statesman,
however, who has found this great
American custom very expensive. He
refers to Senator Perkins. of California.
Fifteen or sixteen year ago he was elect
ed governor of California, and very
popular sort of governor he proved to
be; so popular, in fact, that a crize for
naming boy babies after him soon ran
through the state. Bouncing baby boys
were named for him in nearly every
county, from Siskiyou, in the far north,
to San Diego, down on the Mexican
boundary. Governor Perkins heard of
every one of these incidents. The fond
parents imagined the rich young gov
ernor was generously giving up hund.
reds of dollar bills in recognition of al
these compliments. But instead of set
Ting on the spot Mr.. Perkins, with a
politicians fatal weakness for procras-
tination, wrote nice letters to
every pair of proud parents, in which he
said all manner of nice things, and end
ed with flourish of promises, as fol-
lows: when George Perkins Smith is
gr)wn let me know, and 1 will send him
to college," The governor thought he
was getting out of tie sorape very easi~
ly. He never imagined he was going to
be senator from California fifteen or
sixteen years later But here he is, and
those letters are coming home to roost.
Already four young men named George
Perkins Smith, Jones, or something or
other, have put in their claims for a col~
lege education at the expense of the
former governor. II expect there are
twenty or thirty more of them, -" says the
sen Tor, "and I'll have to honor their
drafts, even if it bankIupts me-

Over Seven Thousand Letters Received

Over Seven Thousand Letters Received
Since His Speech.
A special to the Savannah Morning
Ne vs. from Washington says
"SeDator Ben Tillman is just now en-
ying the distinction Of having a
Ia ger list of correspondents than
any other member of the senate.
To-day his desk in the senate
chamber resembled the work
bench of railway postal clerk, or the
distributing clerk in the city postofi Sc,
"The letters were piled on his desk to
resemble a miniature fortifcation, be-
hind which sat the junior senator with a
smile of salts action playing over his
rugged face. In his hand he held a letter
opener fashioned after his much talked
of "pitch-fork," the gift of an ingenius
supporter of his. His senatorial asso-
cates stopped at his desk In passing to
make a faoetious comment and TO ex
press profound sympathy for his private
secretary, who is expected to make an
swer to each correspondent.
Senator Tillman appears to be de-
lighted at the attention he is creating,
and had ready reply for each senat II
who visited him. Since delivering his
remarkable speech in the senate he has
received more than 1000 letters com.
mending his utterances and urging him
to keep up the good work" Many of
his correspondents request copies of his
speech, and to crafty the. demand he
pr poses to have several million OF
copies scattered throughout the coun>
