Spain Has Withdrawn Her Request For
-. Lees Recall. II -,
Z WASHINGTON, March 8.-Spain has
Withdrawn her request for the recall of
Consul General Lee, and it is now be-
ieved that the incident is practically
closed. The withdrawal came in the
shape of an official communication
f. m Minister rWoodford. 1t is now
stated that the request was never put
in the shape Of a demand, but that it
was merely q suggestion on the part Of
Spain, and when she found that it
would not, be pleasantly received by
this country, she promptly receded.
It is learned that the Spanish objec-
tion to Consul General Lee is based
largely upon his sympathy for the Gu
bans, and some Of his ntterances which
found their way into. print. It is under
stood that the Spaniards also take ex-
ceptions to the friendly relations and
.companionship existing between Gen.
5eral Lee and correspond dents Of papers,
which have been de dedly unfriendly
to Spain.

VALUABLE FIND IN TEXAS.

Discovery of a Mine of Platinum
Which Is Worth More Than Gold.
Messrs. Deselle and Nickel, expert
miners of California, recently bought
300 acres of land in Jack county, near
Jacksboro, Tex. They have sunk a
110-foot shaft and found numerous sam
pies of platinum at a depth of so feet
from the surface, which continues in
layers to the bottom of the shaft. Small
quantities of both gold and silver were
also found. Nuggets of platinum as
large as pea were found and as the
metal is three times as valuable as gold,
on account of its. indispensability to
certain electricalsdppliahces and other
scientific uses, the great value Of the
find may be seen. The men propose to
push the development of the mine and
will at once put in machinery and
crushers to facilitate the work. They
are guarding their property and no one
rs permitted to 60 into the mine.

AMMUNITION NEEDED.
Ten Million Dollars Will Be Assigned for
That Purpose.

Ten Million Dollars Will Be Assigned for
That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-While no
exact estimate has been made of the
share of the $4,000, 900 appropriation
to be allotted to ammunition. it is esti-
mated that at least $4,000, 900 would
be so assigned, owing to the enormous
cost of retilling the ammunition chests
of the warships now in service. At
present there is not enough ammuni.
tion on hand for. one reflling beyond
that now on board. A single reflling
costs S., 100000. Each first class bat:
tleship carries 400 tons of ammunition.
With the amounts on hand and the re-
fills which are being calculated on, the
navy would have an ample supply OF
ammunition, even if the ships were
called into frequent action.

Peculiar Malady from Which 4 Gin.
tfz cinnati Woman Suffers.
l One Of the most interesting cases
brought under the observation of the
physicians Of the city hospital at Gin
-cinnati, o., is that of Fannie Minks,
whose home is on May street and who
was admitted to the institution on Jan
uary 3, and has since then received the
undivided attention of one of the lead
ling local specialists. Although, pa
thologically, her disease is thoroughly
! understood, science has failed to find
the remedy either to check it's progress
or cure it. Nothing can, therefore, be
done for her, except, with careful nurs-
!; ing and the application of soothing
; ointments and lotions, to alleviate her
distress.
Fannie is prepossessing young girl
OF 20 and is afflicted with what in medi-
, cal parlance is known as ichtyosis, q
term derived from the Greek, meaning
fish scale diesase. The name is not a.
misnomer, especially in the case of this
; particular patient, as her arms and
limbs are covered with scales their en-
| tire length. These scales arc similar to
those of fish and could not be dis
tinguished from those of a number of
the fnny tribe.
The disease is extremely rare, only
one other case being recalled in the
history of the institution. The pres
entcase is exciting considerable interest
In medical circles from the fact that
1t is well developed and it's symptoms
SO we'll pronounced. AS before stated,
very little can be done for the patient,
except to keep the affected parts as
soft as possible with frequent hot baths
and the application of unctuous oint-
! ments, for once the scales become dry
they break off at the joints and leave
ugly and painful sores.
The disease, as far as investigation
has gone, seems to be due to imperfect
capillary circulation and the failure of
shedding particles of dead skin, which
in the normally constituted being goes
on unconsciously. Miss Minks is re-
ceiving every attention that the hos
pital with it's facilities can afford and
the best nursing, although cure can
not be effected.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Mr. Bou.

ment: 5:s &. 3=@ ==z3 .;z &
''At an interview with Secretary
Long on Sunday, at which the subject
Of authorizing the president to provide
for emergencies was discussed, I sug-
gested the desirability Of a conference
of the executive officers, with rep-e.
sentative members of the house and

held at the White House, at which the
president, Secretaries Long and Alger,
Senators Allison and Hale, chairmen of
the senate committees on appropria.
tions and naval affairs, and Chairmen
Ca nnon and Boutelle of those commit.
tees in the house, Chairman Dingley
of the ways and means, Congressman

this conference it was deemed advisable
to give the public the assurance that

which should be as broad as the posi-.
bilities Of events, and, therefore, instead
of passing various bills authorizing spe.
cific action under the several depart
ments, general credit Of $4,000, 600
should be reported by the appropria.
tion committees of the two houses
and placed at the disposal of the presi.
dent to meet any exigency that may
arise.
"Speaker Reed was in personal con-
ference with the president during the
day and will prepare for prompt action
upon the bill in the house. This legis.
lation should not be interpreted as in.
dicating that war is expected, but as a
precautionary provision and an assur-
ance to the world that tie government
at Washington, in all it's branches and
without distinction of parties or per.

everything that pertains to supporting

AN ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
improvements That VIII Rev0lu-
tfOAixe Travel by Rail.

Improvements That Will HeVOl0o
tionize Travel by Rail-.
One hour to Philadelphia on an elec-
trio railroad from Jersey City is the
latest project. The Central railroad Of
New Jersey is behind the scheme. The
controlling stockholders of the Jersey
Central will furnish the bulk of the cap
ital for the new venture, and the Jer-
sey Central tracks will be used for the
greater portion of the way.
The third rail Watkins alternating
system will be used, Whereby speed
OF more than so miles an hour can be
attained. The principal difficulty with
the electric third rail system along sur
face roads lies in the danger to life from
the highly charged electric rail. This
difficulty has been overcome by late
improvement which leaves the rail
charged with electricity only when the
car is passing over it. This invention
also permits the power to be utilized for
300 miles instead of Is miles, as here
tofore.
The ostensible promoters of the
scheme are Charles N. King, secretary
of the New Jersey corporation agency;
Postmaster Robert Jordan and Garret
Van Horn. There have been rumors in
Wall street that the Jersey Central is
to become an integral part of trunk
line to Buffalo and Chicago, in which
the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh
and the Wheeling & Lake Erie will be
links. 1t was impossible to ascertain,
however, whether the new electric line
to Philadelphia, under the auspices of
the Jersey Central, was only part of
the greater trunk line scheme.
