WORLD SHORT ON COPPER.
Largely Increased Production Fails to

New York, jan. 25.-According to the
official figures of copper production in
the United States last year there was
an output from the Montana, Lake Su-
perior and Arizona mining localities
which exceeded that of 1897 by over 49,
600 tons. The close of the year, how

PROPRIETARY MEDICINES

Washington, Jan. 25.-The commissioner

a former circular on the subject of Habili-

schedule B of the act of June Is, 1895 This
revision is based upon recent opinion OF
the attorney general, which is construed
as follows:
That medicinal articles not otherwise

pharmacists, through whom they are dealt
out to consumers as prepared prescriptions

which they are to be used indicated on
the label, then by the technical medical
name or otherwise stated thereon in the
technical language not in common use
without mourning the inhibition of the
statute against advertising. This view is
accepted by the commissioner, who in ad-
dition holds that in such cases there may
appear on the label the formula (Which
may be followed with the name
of the physician who was the
author thereof, the dose. the words

WASHINGTON AROUSED.
Seriousness of Philippine Situa-
ton is at Last Recognized.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington, says:
1t can no longer be denied that con-
siderable alarm is felt in administra-
ton circles over the situation at Ma
Mia and IloiIo and the latest advices
are not of a reassuring character.
General Otis is of the belief that the
insurgents are about to force an issue
and il this should occur, the result can
not be predicted further than that the
Americans will be victorious in the
end.
There are two serious contingencies
confronting the troops near Iloilo, one
being a conflict with the natives and
the other a fear that smallpox may
break out among the troops.
Besides this, the situation at Manila
is considered much more grave than at
IlOilo and it is feared the insurgents
may commit an overt act which might
bring a conflict
While the war like attitude of
Aguinaldo excites alarm at the war de-
partment, that is not considered the
most serious feature of the situation
Those in a position to know the facts
say the diplomatic situation is even
more grave. Either Germany or Spain
or both may recognize Aguinaldo's little
republic for interested motives, Ger
many to secure a foothold and Spain
20 accomplish the release of it's prison
erS of war.
This action is imminent and the gov
eminent officials say they would not
be surprised If it took place within "a
hours. Prompt ratification of the treaty
would have avoided this ENHANCEMENT,
but it is conceded now that both Spain
and Germany have some grounds for ac-
ton to protect their own interests.
The cables announcing the proclama-
ton of a republic did not create much
disturbance, as Aguinaldo proclaimed
his independence last summer
There is an understanding at the pres
ent moment entirely informal, but none
the less effective, that in case Spain or
Germany or both, recognize Aguinaldo
as the president of an independent re-
public Great Britain will at once recog
niZe the temporary sovereignty of the
United States in the Philippine islands
pending action on the treaty. Knowl-
edge of this fact is said to be all that
causes Germany to hesitate. Ambassa-
dor White has not been directly in
structed to make any representation to
Germany but he may convey ''unoffi-
cially'' an intimation that the United
States, pending the disposition of the
treaty, would consider recognition of
Aguinaldo by Germany as an unfriendly
act and by Spain as a direct violation of
a solemn pledge to give this country six
months in which to consider the treaty.

THOUSANDS OF ORPHANS
In Cuba Who Are in Need of Imme-
diate Care From Somebody.

Washington, Jan. 25.-In his report to
the war department General Green says
that the most important question at
fecting the future of Cuba is the care
and education of the great number of
orphans whose parents persisted in the
recommendation. The estimates of NOR
tally during the three years since
Weyler's recommendation proclamation
was issued vary from 100000 to 100000
persons or from 80 to 40 per cent of the
population of the island. The number
or orphans can not be even approx
mately estimated, but there must be
many thousands of them. IF they are
not cared for they are liable to grow up
as Vagabonds and destitutes- BY rea-
son OF an investigation made of the
western part of Pinar del Rio province,
General Green states that as the climate
is entirely different from that of Ha-
vana, being dry and salubrious at all
seasons of the year the hills three miles
west of the town which rise to an alti-
tude of 1000 feet would be the best
spot for the location of a general con-
valescent hospital for use of all the
troops on the island. The heat is said
not to be excessive even in the summer
months.
