THE MINING CONGRESS-.
Successful Meeting Full of Interest 20
Mining Men.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 1.-THE
international Mining Congress, which
drew to close Saturday, was a most
successful meeting. The attendance
reached several hundred delegates
coming from thirty-four states, Aus
tralia, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and
Peru
The sessions continued three days
and the papers embraced many topics
Of interest 20 mining men in all
branches of the industry. The most
important resolution adopted was one
introduced by ex-Congressman c. e.
Allen of Utah, asking congress to pass
law doing away with extra lateral
rights. This was a compromise mea-
sure, the committee on laws having
recommended the abrogation of extra
lateral rights, the apex vein and the
enlargement of claim from twenty to
/ forty acres as a compensatory measure.
The report had the support of such
representative men as Prof. Keyes of
California, j. A. Murray of Montana
and II. c. Chambers of Utah, but OPP
position was so strong that a compro-
mise measure was introduced to secure
greater harmony.
A resolution was adopted asking
congress to create department Of
commerce and industry.
A secretary of mining was also
wanted, but there was difference Of
opinion as to whether to ask for cab
met officer or merely a department
chief under the secretary of the inter-
Tor, as being the most promising Of re-
suits.
Colonel Montgomery of Colorado,
was elected president and Milwaukee
selected as the next meeting place.
Headquarters win be established and
maintained in Salt Lake until moved
70 Milwaukee in time to prepare for
the opening of next years session.

B0MBARDMENT BEGUN
SHAFTER AND SAMPSON SHELL
ING SANTIAGO.
bpaniards Begin the Battle Which win
Undoubtedly TeTmlna in Their I'M
conditional Surrender.

Washington, July 1.-THE bonbard-
ment Of Santiago began yesterday
afternoon ut 4 o'clock and continued
until dark 1t was resumed this morn
ing. The firing was begun by the
Spaniards, whose guns were silenced
by Skaters batteries in short time.
1t is an artillery duel with the advant-
age with Shafter, as his siege guns are
not only more numerous, but the most
powerful ever trained on a besicged
city.
After days of deliberation, during
which time he was plead with by for
eign consuls, General Torral declined
to surrender. He offered to evacuate
the city If his army would be permitted
to escape capture, but Shafter would
not adhere to this. Preparations have
been made to prevent the escape of the
Spaniards and their capitulation is but
a matter of time In addition to the
land batteries, which have been placed
in protected positions, Sampson will
train his ~ and 13-inch guns on the
city, which have a range long enough
to allow them to clear Moro and de-
scend upon the city
The intrenchments of the Americans
have been materially strengthened un-
Til Shafter is certain that his lines can
not be broken at any point, Reinforce
ments and supplies have also arrived.
General Henry and his command came
on the st. Paul yesterday, and the First
| District Of Columbia guards on the
Catinia.
General Hawkins, commanding the
First brigade of General Kent's divis-
ion, who was wounded in the foot dur
ing the attack made on our lines Sat-
urday night by the Spaniards, has

SPANISH OUT OF POWDER.
Shot From SIMPSONS Fleet Destroy et
Their Powder Magazine.

Santiago, July PA flag of truce is
again waving over Santiago. At 9:30
a. IN. the cruiser Newark, after getting
the range, began to throw shells to-
ward the city. The New York, Brook
lyn and Indiana participated in the
engagement. The greater part of the
shells, however, fell short. The land
batteries at the same time began their
attack on the enemys works. One of
the shots struck large building in
the center of the city and tremendous
explosion followed The building was
undoubtedly stored with powder
Shortly afterward flag of truce
came from the Spanish lines and firing
ceased. The object of the truce is not
known, unless it is to arrange terms of
eapitulation. 1t is surmised that the
enemy's powder supply was destroyed,
and fighting was impossible.

SANTIAGO SURROUNDED.
Skaters Men Occupy all the Land Touch
Ing the CItx.

Siboney, July 13-A concerted move
ment has been made by the United
States army and navy on Santiago dur
ing the past twenty -four hours, which
the American officers here believe will
result In the almost immediate fall of
the city.
The fleet lying off Aguadores, three
miles east of Moro castle, have again
began the bombardment of Santiago.
Notwithstanding the fact that our
ships had to fire at an extreme eleva-
tion, and although the range was near
ly five miles, the aim was so accurate
that many of the shells fell in the city
and set fire to it in four places. One
shell struck st. Michael's church, in
which quantity of powder and am
munition was stored, and blew it into
pieces
During the bombardment from the
sea the army extended its line and
drew In closer to the city, so that at
the present time every road and trail
leading out of the city is guarded, and
the escape of the Spanish soldiers
seems impossible. The only way they
can get out of the city is to ferry
across the bay to the western side of
the harbor, and even then they could
not get into the interior without en-
countering American troops.
General Miles has complimented
Shafter on his achievements.

Typhoid Fever.

A statement is published at Pitts
burg showing that typhoid fever in
that city is confined almost entirely to
the summer months, while in towns in
the lower Ohio valley it gets it's hold
chiefly in the fall and winter. The ex-
planation is offered that the Davis
Island dam is in certain sense re-
sponsible. 1t is argued that the germs
of the disease collect in the stagnant
water above the dam and when the
wickets are opened they are berated
and carried down stream. The old
warning, boil your drinking water,
cannot be too often repeated.
