Curious Copper Mining.

The United States consul at Santiago
de Cuba reports that about nine miles
from that town there are copper mines,
having shafts from 800 10 1900 feet
deep. which were regularly worked I'M
til 1861. since which time they have
been abandoned and have become filled
with water. all but 800 feet of their
depth being below sea-leyel. But in
later years copper was obtained from
tie drowned mines in an interesting
manner. The water with which they
are filled holds a considerable quantity
Of copper in solution, and this water
was pumped out into tanks. Scraps Of
iron were then thrown into il, and the
dissolved copper became deposited on
the iron. When the deposit grew sufii-
GENTLY thick it was broken or. and the
ircn was thrown back into the water to
gather a fresh incrustation Of the red

Boston, March LOAN appeal to the
people of the United States urging "a!l
lovers OF freedom" TO cooperate with
them in an attempt to induce the govern
ment to suspend hostihties in the Philip
pines and confer with the Philippine lead
ers with q view to preventing further
bloodshed by recognizing their independ-
ence under the guarantee of the protection
to property by the natives, has been is
sued over the signature of more than a
score of prominent men.
The preamble, on the attitude of this
government and President Mckinley be-
fore and since the war, asserts that there
rs no reason for change of opinion on
the part of anti-imperialists and, ON the
contrary, every reason for continuance
of the protest against the spirit of mill
tarism and force and they therefore urge
cooperation to the following ends
"First-That our government shall take
immediate steps toward a suspension Of
hostilities in the Philippines and con-
ference with the Philippine leaders with a
view to preventing further bloodsh upon
the basis of recognition of their free
dom and independence as soon as proper
guarantees can be had of order and pro
lection to property.
"Second-That the government of the
United States shall tender an official as
surance to the inhabitants of the Philip
pine islands that they will encourage and
assist in the organization and upon its or
ganization in a stable manner the United
States, in accordance with the traditions
in such cases, will recognize the independ
ence of the Philippines and its equality
among nations and gradually withdraw
all naval and military forces"

can read, write and figure. He knows
the rudiments of religion and morality,
and shows a happy disposition to ac-
quire that general tint of superficial cul-
ture which is all that the great mass of
iaboring people can aspire to anywhere
iii the world. On this point statistics fur
nish us eloquent and irrefutable data.
The number who cannot write is very
small, including the women, and the
number is much less of those who have
not learned to read, while those who
lack at least the most fundamental and
necessary religious and moral instruction
are very rare indeed. The correctness
of this observation may be proved if the
first native one meets, even in the most
remote sections, should be questioned, or
what would be still easier, by examining
recruits in the army, who are drawn us
