One-half of the chorus had been drilled

Spanish Cabinet Has Authorized the Gov
ernor to Make Reforms There

Madrid, Sept. 9OThe cabinet has de-
cided to authorize Gen. Rios to grant
reforms In the Visayas islands on the
lines demanded by the inhabitants and
to concentrate his forces at Mindanao,
as there are only 450 men garrisoning
the Visayas. The Spanish ministers
also decided to protest to the govern
ment at Washington against the re-
fusal of the Americans to permit Span
ish troops to be- sent to the VisayaS,
while, 1t is claimed the insurgents are
constantly receiving arms and cannon
with which to attack other islands
which the Americans permit, without
even pretending to intervene"
The Spanish cabinet will acquaint its
Paris commissioners with these conten-
tons in order that they may be used in
the peace negotiations. Finally the
government here has informed the
Washington officials that it has decided
to send reinforcements to the Visayas.
and it has ordered seven batteries of
artillery in Andaulausia to get ready
to start for the Philippine islands In "a
hours. The cabinet will repeat its pro-
tests against the insurgents continuing
to hold Spanish prisoners in the Phi
lppine islands.
The government has estimated that
there are 100000 people in Porto Rico
who desire to return to their homes.

The ALASKA SURVEY.


Washington, March 9.--Two papers
containing Important ontributionsas 70
gold bearing regions of Alaska, papers
the publication OF which has been
awaited with great interest for nearly a
year. have just issued from the govern
ment printing Office. The papers give
the results of reconnaissance by survey
experts, made, respectively, in the sum
mers OF 1895 and 1896, or shortly before
the outbreak of the KlondilSe gold ex-
element.
The principal developments of the
coast region of Alaska have been made
among the islands of the Alexander
archipelago and on the adjoining shore
of the Panhandle strip of southeastern
Alaska. In this region are the famous
Alaska-Treadwel and the Alaska Mex
lean mines, on Douglas island, and n
series of important deposits on the
mainland opposite and not far from
Juneau. and the Funter's Bay mines, on
Admiralty island; to the northwest are
the Berner's Bay mines. A second more
westerly belt is shown in the mines
near Sitlxa on Baranof island. which
presents similar geological features.
Prospecting in this region is rendered
most difficult by the dense covering OF
fallen timber and moss, which every
where covers the rock surface. On
Unge island is the Apollo mine, the larg-
est in the territory next to the Tread
well. which is eruptive rock.
