PORTO RICANS IN COUNCIL.
Considering Recommendations for the
Use of Special Commissioners to
Visit Washington.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct. 3D.
The principal theater of the city was
taxed to its utmost capacity yesterday
afternoon on the occasion of a public
meeting of delegates from the chief
towns of the island to consider and
draft recommendations regarding the
necessities of the island for the use of
selected later to represent Porto Rico
at Washington when the time comes
for settling the administration sys-
tenn.
The assembly was fairly representa-.
tive, and although the proceedings
gave undue prominence to unimpor-
tant details, there was abundant evil
dence of intelligent reflection on the
part of the delegates and of a determi-
nation not to tolerate partisan politics
at this crisis in the islands affairs.
Carefully prepared reports were sub
mitted by the political, social and Geo.
nomical committees.
The meeting received with enthusi-
asm the resolutions demanding terri
tCrial rights, the cessation of the pres
ent military rule and the installation
of regular civil government.
Other resolutions were adopted ask
ing an eight-hour day for the laboring
man, and severely denouncing the
present corrupt system of registering
deeds of lands.

ofnclal Report of the Mineral Deposits Of
the Philippine Municipality
of the Coal.

Washington, Nov.2.-Admiral Dewey
has forwarded to the navy department
a memorandum of the mineral re-
sources of the Philippines, prepared,
at the admiral's request, by Prof.
George F. Becker, of the United States
geological survey. Prof. Becker made
considerable researches and consult
ed all available authorities. Only
about a score of the several hundred
islands, he says, are known to contain
deposits of valuable minerals. He in
cludes a table showing the mineral
bearing islands and their resources
This table follows:
LuzOn-Coal. gold, copper. lead
iron. sulphur. marble and kaolin.
Cataanduanes. Sibuyan, BonOl anC
Panaoan-Gold only.
Marimduque-Lead and silver.
MindorO-Coal, gold and copper.
Carraraybatan. Rapu Iiapu. Semara
ri and Negros-Coal only.
Masbete-Coal and copper.
Roblon-Marble.
Samar-CoaI and gold.
Panay-Coal oil, gas, gold, copper
iron and perhaps mercury.
Biliram-Sulphur only.
Leyte-COal, oil and perhaps mer-
curry.
Cebu-CoaI oil gas, gold, lead, sill
yer and iron.
Mindanao-Coal, gold, copper II
platinum.
Sulu neutrality-suspicious..
Of the coal, Mr.. Becker says that il
is analogous to the Japanese coal and
that of Washington. but not to that OF
the Welsh or Pennsylvania Goals. 1t
might better be characterized as Il
highly carbonized Ignite, likely to con
tain much hulphur as ironpyrites, ren'
dering them apt to spontaneous COM
bustion and injurious to boiler plates.
Nevertheless, he says, when pyrites
seams are avoided, and the Ignite is
properly handled, it forms a valuable
fuel, especially for local consumption.

YELLOW JACKS VICTIM
Death of Col. George E. Waring, IT,,
at His Home in New York, of
Yellow Fever.
he ARRIVED ON SUNDAY FROM HAVANA.
The Fatal MaIady was Contracted While
Acting rs Special Commissioner to In.
vestigate the Sanitary Condition of Hs-
vana-The Body ,HermeticalIy Scaled
Up and at Swinburne Island

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Nicholas r.
Waring, Jr., died of yellow fever at his
home in this city, where he had been
since he arrived from Havana, on the
Yucatan, on Tuesday last. He was e.
years of age.
DR.. Blauvelt, who had been attend
ing Col. Waring during his illness,
was summoned to the house at l a.
m. He found that Col. Waring had
been attacked with black vomit. This
symptom continued all morning with
out cessation. Everything possible
was done for the dying man, but he
only lived until 7:45.
The Body Theoretically Sealed Up.
President Murphy of the board of
health was informed of the death of
Col. Waring within five minutes after
it occurred. DR.. Rgers, the sanitary
superintendent, was ordered to have
the body placed in n Theoretically
sealed casket Immediately. Mr.. Muir
ply also gave orders that every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease.
Fever Contracted While on OficisI Duty.
Col. Warning had been sent to the
city of Havana as a special commits
sioner of this government to ascertain
the exact sanitary conditions of that
city, and to form ideas for the best
methods of putting the place in first
class sanitary shape. He was to re-
port to the president, and on the day
he returned he said he expected to go
to Washington the next day.
The Disease Didn't Develop Until His Re-
turn Home.
Col. Warning was apparently well
when he left Havana, and he felt only
eighty i'll during the latter part of
the voyage, but when he reached his
home he was obliged to take to his
bed. 1t was then discovered that he
was suffering from yellow fever.
Col. Waring was Immediately iso-
lated in his apartments on the ninth
floor of the Rutherford, the apartment
house in which he lived. There are
nine families in the house.
Precautions Immediately Taken.
Precautions were Immediately taken
to prevent the spread of the disease.
No one but the physicians and Mrs.
Waring, who has had the disease, and
is therefore immune, were allowed to
see Col. Waring. Everything that was
taken in OF out of the apartment was
disinfected. Inspectors of the board of
health were stationed at and in the
house to prevent people from getting
cal to the sick man.
The Doctors were at Fault.
The doctors at first did not think
that the case was 4 malignant one.
When Col. Warnings temperature rose
to 1851, however, the physicians be-
came alarmed, and the case was con-
sidered in its most serious form, and
Col. Warning was treated accordingly.
The Body Cremated.
President Murphy of the board of
health states that the body of Col.
Warning will be taken to Swinburne is
land, where it will be cremated imme-
diately.
The father, mother, brother and
three sisters of Mrs. Waring died Of
yellow fever in New Orlenas some
years ago.

Bad Year for Fisherman.

Boston. Nov. "A special to the
Globe from Gloucester, Mass, says:
The past season has been very severe
on the fishing fleet. The reckoning
for the year is IA vessels a total loss,
80 men drowned, % wives widowed
and So children made orphans. The
losses will approximate $4,000.
The terrible gales which ragged on
the Banks during October, 1897, are
undoubtedly responsible for the loss
of three vessels and their entire crews,
while the series of gales which pre-
vailed during the winter also brought
the fate of many a fisherman.
