concerning them. The letter forwarded
to him reads. in part:
''Negros and Cebu are about the center
of the Philippine group. forming part cf
what is called the Yisayas Islands. Ne
gros comprises about 5000 square miles.
and Cebu about half as many. They
are long, in a north-south direction, and
narrow, and separated by the Straits of
Tanen. A volcanic mountain ridge
stretches the whole length OF each ISL
and rising to a height of about 5000 feet
in the north of Negros. The fianks of
the ridges and the low lands near the
coasts are covered with luXuriant tropi-
cal vegetation.
Millions of Mineral Wealth.
THE principal coal deposits thus far
developed occur in these two islands and
in Masbate and Batan, further north.
The coal, while inferior in quality, makes
good steaming coai when mixed with
anthracite or Cardiff coal, and doubtless,
when the mines are developed. will prove
very valuable for naval and commercial
uses.
The geological formation of the group
seems to be like Borneo TO ,he
southwark and Formosa to the north
ward, the cardon,ferous beds being brok-
en- through by volcanic peaks, their eX-
posed edges upturned along the fianks
OF these peaks and partly covered by
lava, etc, thence dipping under the lime
| stone and coral beds near the sea.
There seems to be no reason to doubt
| that the collaborating beds may be found
upon any and all of the islands of the
Philippine group. connecting the already
developed mines of Borneo with those OF
| Formosa.
"All the islands give strong indica-
tions of mineral wealth, such as gold
copper, iron, lead, and precious stones
| Their development hitherto has been
| very haphaZard and unscientific, but the
results achieved are very promising

big expedition for Cuba Wednesday

100 men of the 1st infantry and ten Gu

The Gussie was met off the Cuban

insurgents. Then under the fire of the
gunboats, the Spanish force was com
