FACTS ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
GOLD DEPOSITS
HAVE BEEN OPENED.
Climate Is Healthful, and Yellow
Fever Is Unknown-Two Thou
sand Islands In the Archipelago.

Washington, June 4.-'Notes on the
Philippines" have been issued by the
state department as No. 131 of the
advance sheets of the consular reports.
One expert extensively quoted, Frank
Caruth, says that extensive gold depos-
it's have been opened up quite near the
sea, assuring a large output for many
years to come. 1t has also been proved
that they extend over a wide district.
Alluvial gold is found IN the island of
MindanaO and there are extensive cop
per deposits in LUZon. While no true
coal has been found, there is Ignite of
a very good quality. Roughly washed
alluVial gold has been found to con-
tain rubies and hyacinths. There is no
want of labor at cheap rates, and on
the whole the general conditions for
mining are exceptionally favorable.
Some facts of interest aside from
mining are noted. For instance the
Philippine archipelago contains nearly
2, 900 islands. Two of them are larger
than Ireland, Luzon, with $4,000 and
Mindanao with $4,000 square miles.
EARTHQUAKES are not infreQuent. The
rainfall is not excessive nor is it con-
tinuous.
The climate is very healthful for
tropical region and diseases such as
yellow fever are unknown. The natives
are mostly Malayas, but in the interior
are remnants of race of Papuan orr
gin.

ter which the commission was dis

The Shepperd claim, if presented, was
not recognized.
The Shepperd claimants overlook the
facts:
(A) That buccaneers and other En-
glish pirates virtually controlled the
littoral of the eastern or Caribbean sea-
coast of Nicaragua, and not the Mos
quito Indians.

SICKIES ON THE CAUSE OF WAR
A CLAsHING OF DFsPoTIsM AND
FREEDOM.
We Must Keep the Philippines, Be
cause They Have Been Consecrated
By American Valor

Schenectady, n. Y, June General
Daniel Sickles last night delivered a
lecture before the students of Union
college. His subject was Spain" to
which country he was formerly a
United States minister He sought to
explain, in connection with the topic
of Spain, the origin and causes of the
present war, which, he said, had been
imminent and inevitable for more than
a quarter of a century.
Causes, he said, had, however, ex-
listed much longer, growing out of the
different factors arising in the relative
civilizations and governments produced
from the two syStens-One of indepen-
dent self government, growing out of
the people as the foundation base; the
other. the residuum of a government
resting on the bases of ancient despot-
ism and monarchial system, which
permitted cruelties, exactions and
treatment that Americans were ignor-
ant and abhorrent of.
The cry of Remember the Maine
was not the cause of the war. but,
poured upon the elements that existed,
it crystallized and made powerful the
current Of hostility of principles that
recognized and foresaw, but
the people would realize later, as they
had the difference between slavery and
freedom which caused the war of 81.
General Sickles said that history was
only repeating itself: that there was an
irrecOncilable difference between the
fruits of Spanish colonial .despotism
and American ideas of self government.
self respect and the freedom of man
hood; hence, the inevitable result, soon
er or later-war-and now it has come.
He said we must keep the Philippines.

On the opposite point some plants and

placed at that point.
Sailing along the shore, four miles
off, one would scarcely distinguish

other rocky spurs that project from
the mountain sides all along the east

This is the picture of the Santiago

the Americans will not fall into the

MILLIONS OF ACRES CLAIMED
SHEPHERD HEIRS WANT MOST
OF NICARAGUA.
Interesting Historical Facts Concern
ing the Occupation and Control of
the Caribbean Coast.

| Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press,
Managua, Nicaragua, May 2S.-Re-
Gently claims for lands of an area
more extensive than the whole state
! of Nicaragua have been made by Shep-
perd's heirs, now living at San Juan
del Norte, Nicaragua, against Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, including the
route selected for an inter-oceanic ca
nal across Nicaragua.
The original claimant, Shepherd Cor
Sheppard), now dead. was a negro or
mulatto from Jamaica and a subjectsof
the British crown. He claimed that
about 1888 he paid to chief of the
Mosquito Indians on the east coast of
Nicaragua about $3.50 600 in gold for
several millions of acres of land in Nj
caraSua and Costa Rica; and now the
heirs declare that they have the pa
perS complete and want either the land
or it's money value.
The historic facts about the Carib-
bean coast of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, with the adjacent islands and
their sovereignty, are:
(A) Christopher Columbus discov-
cred and claimed them for Spain in
October, 1902.
(B) Spain retained sovereignty over
them until 1921, conquering all the
excepting the Amerrique people, who
held the central and eastern mountain
Gus districts in Nicaragua, where their
small remnant remains yet undis-
turbed.
Co In 1921 Spain transferred the
sovereignty to the Spanish-American
people in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
other Central American states, and
acknowledged their independence.
Cd In 1S4S Great Britain acknowl-
edged some one of the chiefs of the
Mosquito Indians in Nicaragua as the
king and sovereign of an underlined ter
ritory in, or all OF, Nicaragua, and de-
clared herself protector of that king
and his sovereignty. This was one of
Great Britain's bold preliminary steps
