DEPARTMENT OF MINING WANTED.
International Mining Congress Passed Many
Resolutions.

Salt Lake, July 9.--At the session of
the international Mining congress to-
day p w. Gates, of Chicago, introduced
a resolution providing for the establish
ment of department of the national
government, to be known as department
of commerce and industry, under which
the mining interest should have a bu-
rean. The western states maintained
that mining is equally as important as
the agricultural interests and simple
bureau would be of no practical bene-
fit. The committee on resolutions pre-
Sented substitutes for the Gates resolu-
tion, in which it recommended an inde-
pendent department of mines. The
resolution by Mr.. Frankenberg, of Colo
rado, was adopted recommending that
the existing mining law be so changed
as to prevent the locator of claim
amending his survey before the claim is
patented. Tom Smith, of New Mexico,
introduced resolution in the nature of
petition to the United States congress
to restore to the public domain for en-
try the mineral portions of confirmed
land grants.

Harper's Weekly: Some idea OF the
losses suffered by the Spanish regular
troops during the present Instruction
in Cuba may be formed from the fol-
lowing figures:
Between March l, 1895, and March 1,
1897, Spain sent to Cuba ten generals.
615 field and 6.22o subaptern officers, and
1So,435 soldiers. To these must be added
the 1900 officers and men forming the
regular Cuban establishment at the out
break Of the instruction, making q
total Of nearly 200. 900. OF these, one
general, seven field and fifty-three sub
altern officers, and 1874 men were killed
In battle, one general. six field and fifty
five slrbaltern officers and 70i men died
of wounds, while 1853 officers and S.1G4
men We're wounded and presumably re-
covered. The losses caused by the en-
envy are small, being but. little more
than five, per cent OF. the total present
for duty. The case is altered. however,
in the matter Of disease; 31S officers
and 1900 men died Of yellow fever,
while 127 officers and about 1000 men
succumbed to other maladies
A. writer in the Revue Scientiique of
October l6, 1897, gives the following
rates ofloss per 1000:
Killed or died OF wounds. ........ 1O.7
Died OF yellow fever. ego
Died Of other diseases............ 20l.3

AS all the sick and wounded, however,
have not been e back to Spain. the
number Of those left behind must be
taken into account in estimating the
total losses of the Spaniards. While
this number cannot be accurately de-
termined, yet there Is reason for belIev-
Ing that It cannot fall far short of 10000.
Accepting this estimate. we have a
