The Republic is Rich in Its silver
RcsOMrres.


New York, November H.--In a paper OH
The Mexico of Today which will appear
in the forthcoming issue Of the Independent
Wee President Marisca of Mexico. makes
statement and relates anocdote touching
MeNico's silver resources He says: For
500 years she has produced one third of
all the silver that was mined. The production
at present is more than $50 0oO 600. When LII
Hung Chang was In Washington, he asked
Senior Romero how much silver Mexico was
mining and how long she could keep ii up.
Senior Romero. trying to be conservative re-
piled that Mexico was turning out $40. 900 900
per year and could keep 1t up for 200 years.
III lung Chang would not hear of such a
thing, He insisted that our minister had
been so long away from his country that he
had forgotten details and that he must BIO
mistaken about the abundance OF silver Mex
leo expects 10 supply the world with $780,
000,000 of silver soon
The writer further says: american labor
ers are much superior in skill to those of
Mexico. but you can hire from eight to
twelve MoXicans for the 81 American money
which you pay American miners. ordinarily
American labor can not 20 into Mexico and
compete with Mexican labor. the Mexican
laborer can live so much cheaper. There Is
n field for skilled laborers but they should
have employment secured before going TO
Mexico. For Americans with a little capital
say $1,000 or more Mexico offers a great
number oil advantages. But they must have
patience 70 study and adapt themselves TO
new conditions"

SPANISH REMINDER.
Treaty Contained "a Clause Giving
spain Certain Advantages.

Madrid, November Il In tho Spanish
senate today Senior Montefo Rios, replying
to Count Almenas, who recently declared
that owing to the ignorance Of the Span
ish-American treaty commissioners three
islands of the Philippines. the two Bat
tanos and Calayan island, both north of
Lnzon, were not included in the scope OF
the treaty, said the islands referred to
were ceded because they belonged to ia
pan and were not claimed by the Amer.-
cans.
Senior Rios urged the premier senoi
silvela to demand a fulhllment by the
Americans OF their engagements under the
treaty providing for commercial advln-
tages to Spain in the Philippines, Senior
Sil,tla replied that difficulties had arisen
in the explanation of these stipulauons
in the treaty, doubtless because the INNER
leans had not yet fully established their
sway in the Philippines.
