Reports received at the Treasury Depart

PHOTOGRAPHED THE CAVERN.
Picture of "a Lately Discovered Cave
In Colorado.


in Colorado.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col. july 13.-pho-
tographer Yelton today returned from a
trip to Cow mountain, about six miles east
Of this city, where he had been to obtain
views Of a most remarkable cavern dis
covered by sinking a prospect shaft. The
cave was discovered by parties who were
doing their assessment work on a group OF
claims on Cow mountain. A man was
picking in the bottom of Ten Foot Hole,
when he suddenly struck the point of his
pick through the rock into apparently I'M
limited space He cautiously Investigated
and gradually opened up a pit that led
to the other world to all appearances.
Rocks dropped irto the hole, however,
struck bottom in about two seconds or less,
showing that the cave was not SO deep at
mat pcint. The men got a rope and fasten-
ing 1t securely above descended to explore
the immense cavern, which proved to be d
verit..bie stCrehouse of ice. Stalagnites and
stalactites of pure ice stood like cyprus
trees from the floor and hung like a ghostIy
fringe from the ceiling. Exploration was
not carried very far as a yawning abyss
was encoun tered at a distance of about
fifty feet from the entrance. Chunks of ice
thrown down this abyss could be heard
rafting aid clanking on the sides, but
never a sound of the bottom being touched.
photographs were taken by f1ashlight, and
the pictures reveal the ice in crystal con-
dition forming most fanciful figures. An
effort will be made to open the cave to a
more thorough exploration.
The chamber where these pictures were
taken is 10 feet high and about 10 feet wide.
Beyond this the cave Widens and the inter-
ior seems abysmal.

Why Spain Ha. Failed in cubn.

7. G. Alvord. jr.. in the Forum.
General Weyler should have subdued the
rebellion within ninety days. No unpreju-
diced military authority who has studied
the two forces, and made due allowance
for the advantages possessed by those wht
fight upon their native soil, will dissent
from this proposition. There are Spanish
generals in Cuba who admit its truth.
There are others who have returned, dis
gusted. to Spain because their suggestions
Of plans to end the war were not allowed

airy and ending with April of this year.
much of which time was passed in observ-
ing the forces in the field has resulted in
the conviction. on my part, that 1t has
not been the purpose of General Weyler to
end the rebellion. Conversations with Span
ish officers. from generals to corporals,
showed that the same motives that were
evidently actuating the commander in al
lowing the war to drag along were prompt
ing large proportion of the staff and line
in carrying out the policy of their superior.
The recital of a few experiences, the de-
scription of actual conditions. an expIana-
ton of methods employed, and an account
Of the poor result achieved where success
was possible. will prove this Indictment.
If it be admitted that General Weyier has
the slightest military ability, the situation
in Cuba today will convict him.

COAL FOR THE WORLD.
Remarkable Discovery of Oil md
Coal in Alaska.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 13.-What is said
TO be the greatest discovery ever made
is reported from Alaska. Some gold pros
pectors several months ago ran across
what seemed to he lake of oil. 1t was
fed by innumerable springs and the sur
rounding mountains were full of coal They
brought samples to Seattle, and tests
proved it TO be of high grade as any
ever taken out of Pennsylvania wells. A
local company was formed and experts
sent up They have returned on the
steamer Topeka, and their report has more
than borne out first reports.
1t is SAID there Is; enough oil and coal
in the discovery to supply rhe world. 1t
is close to the ocean. In fact, the ex-
perts say the oil ooZes out into the salt
water. 1t is SAID that the Standard OH
Company has already made an offer for
the property. The owners have filed On
5000 acres and are naturally very much
excited over their prospects for fortune.

Report by States of Attendance Mt the
G. f. Convention.

htepert ny STATES Oh Attendance at the
G. f.. Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO. July bat length 1t
is possible to state with close approach to
exactness how many delegates attended the
Christian EndeavOr convention. The regis
tration committee has made a report by
states and counties of the number of peo-
pie registered. The total number Of people
from ether states territories and foreign
countries in attendance is 11,224. From
California the registration is 1864, making
a total of 2391S.
From these figures 1t will be seen that
the actual attendance upon the convention
is surprisingly close to the advance esti-
mates that were made.
Outside of California the biggest f1alapa-
ton was from Illinois, that state sending
1.0S3. Iowa being next. Pennsylvania third
followed by Ohio, New York. Missouri and
Massachusetts in the order named.
1t Is interesting to note that the women
flom all places outside of the state were
almost twice as numerous as the men, the
figures being: Women. 7,477; men, 3,747.
