after its representative had received
from Lieut.. HoDGsoN himself his con-

lieve that HODGsoN has been guilty OF
the denial which tho Posts letter would
convict him OF. There must be some
bubble or trick in the case as it has

An Opportunity for Selling Oil and Wine to
Cuba and Porto Rico.


The exports OF oil and wine from Spain to
former Spanish dependencies were for many
years an important item Of Spanish commerce.
In the fiscal year Of 1890. when the trade be-
tween Spain and her dependencies was about
normal. the expectation from Spanish ports to
Cuba alone amounted to 4.0O0,OOO pesetas'
worth Of oil and 100000 pesetas' worth OF
wine. total equivalent to S3.oOO.O0O. In 1892
the oil exports to Cuba from Spain were worth

Zapote Bridge.

The tirclcss energy Of Gen. LAwToS has
once more driven back the enemy south
Of Manila. The purpose Of the campaign
has been to break up the insurgent force
that threatened the capital, and the scene
OF operations has been the neck OF land be-
tween Manila Bay on the west and Laguna
de Bay Oh the east. In moving south along
the shore Of Manila Bay from San Pedro
Macnti, LAwroS several days ago drove
tie Insurgents oct of tho coast towns OF
Paiunaque and Las Pinas. A little beyond
Las PiEas, just VIII ere the shore bends west
ward, the Xapote River enters Manila Bay
and on its further bank the enemy con-
structed strong field works About two
miles further on Is the town OF Bacoor, OPP
posite Cavite.
In recommending TO the Zapote River. to
fix the position OF an insurgent battery
which had opened fire on our lines. LAW
TON encountered stubborn resistance, which
developed into one of the hottest oombats
vi the war. The swamps and OVERLOOKED
fats forced him to direct his troops toward
the bridge, tho flooring Of which in the CEN
tire had been destroyed but the river was
crossed by our men and the enemy driven
from his trenches. The insurgents were
able To fight on their own lines, and in
very strong position, but nothing could
resist the ardor OF our men, who were
aided by the fire Of Capt. BANKERS feet,
including the big monitor guns. and by a
small landing party that joined the troops
on the beach.
As In all other battles IN the Philippines,
the insurgents were routed with severe
loss, leaving us masters Of the line OF tho
Zapote, which they had considered as one
OF their very strOngest positions.

Il am satisfied there are rich quartz
mines in the country" said he, and
that there will be some very rich
mines developed. The discoveries thus
far are along the Peace river and trib-
utary to it. There is placer mining all
through the country, but it is for
dredging and hydraulic mining and not
for the poor man.. On Mansen creek

Forty Nine company is operating

If dredged. AS to quartz finds. the
Bradford Mining company has had ex-
perts examining it's claims during the
past year and is so well satisfied that
the company is preparing to go in this
coming year and operate on a large
scale, and I will say that we made
some very good discoveries
Mr.. Peters stated that when he re-
turns to the country he will go in by
way of Ashcroft, which is much cas-
Ter route than the Edmonton trail
Mr.. Peters says the people of the
country are as isolated from the world
as they could possibly be-. They get
but three mails a year, and that does
not include newspapers. The Hudson
Bay company sends out a dog train in
March and November to take out and
bring in mail, and there is another
mail when the companys boats go up
the Peace river in the spring. There
is no other communication with the
outside world. Mr.. Peters gives an
interesting account of the manner in
which the Hudson Bay company sup
plies its various trading posts along
the Peace river. Scows are loaded with
six or seven tons of freight and are
towed up the river by men. There are
eight men to team. who pull in har-
ness and make the trip 210 miles, in
10 days. Mr.. Peters predicts that the
country WILL in the near future, be
the scene of some extensive quartz
mining operations
