most valuable of metals, because it is
the most precious of metals that are
produced in sufficient quantity to be in

ounce avoirdupois. Traces of it occur
in some zinc-ores, tons of which must
be worked over in order to obtain a
trifling quantity. Gallium is very re-

worth s112.50 an ounce; Ruthenium, 800

Cuba complete local government with
universal suffrage to elect municipal

entire control of taxation and tariff. The
responsible government will be COM

Senator'S and deputies for Cuba will
continue to sit in the Spanish cortes.
and the imperial government will still
control the army, navy, police tribunals
and foreign affairs of the colony. exactly
as the program of the autonomists de-
mandcd. The government has received
promises of the support of both the au-
Economists In Cuba and of those residing
in France and the United States and
expects no opposition from the other
colonial parties.
The same minister says that the gov
eminent does not believe the Spanish
note will cause friction with the United
