MAGNEsITE IN GERMANY.
It Is Exported for aInnufacture Int
Artificial Marble


The State Department has received from
Daniel E. Mckinley, United States Consul
at Athens, a communication regarding
magnesite in Greece. He writes as fol-
lows:
"Msgnesite Is found in the northern part
of Euboea, in Limos, near Megara, and as
far west as PerachOra, and in Locris and
Phthvdis At Mondondi It covers a large
area near the surface but they have sunk
galleries there to the depth Of fifty metres
(164 feetl. The veins of magnesite some
times extend 100 metres or more below the
surface of the grouRd. The mineral is
generally sold in crude state, but some
times the Society Of Public Works of Ath-
ems calcines it and manufactures refrac-
tory brick, at a temperature of 1000 de-
grees. r
The largest owners of magnesite depos-
its in Greece are NJ. B. Boudouri, the pres
ent Minister Of Marine; the Society of Gen
eral Enterprises, and the Society of Public
Works, Athens. There are a number OF
smaller owners OF such lands or mines,
among whom are Messrs. FILLER and Chris
toman0s. who have valuable deposits at
Pyli, Euboea.
Greek magnesite is exported to England,
France, Hamburg, Belgium, and the United
States, at the rate of $4,000 to 10000 tons
per annum. 1t has been exported from
Greece since 1870 and is used to make or
line metallurgical furnaces for the process
Of Bessemer steel making, for the fabri-
cation of magnesium soils into artificial
marble, etc.

The commissioners will remain here
until Monday. endeavoring to promote the
interests Of the island by presenting to the
heads of the various executive depart

affairs there. They feel much pleased with
the attitude of the American people and
of the Government toward Cuba, and wish
to express their thanks to both on every
occasion. They do not wish it thought that
Cuba is ungrateful for what has been done

will result in q revival of the agricultural

FAMlNRqHREATfNED IN INDIA.
Prospects of Distress Reported by
Consul Fee. of Bombay.

Prospects of Distress Reported by
Consul Fee, of Bombay.
The prospects of a great famine in India
from special reports received by the Impe-
rial Government are thus described by
Consul Fee, of Bombay. in letter to the
State Departments.
In the northwest provinces. it is calcu-
lated that the autumn harvest viii be
about two-thirds of the average, and on
the whole the provinces are prosperous
and should need little relief as. in spite
of the early cessation of the winter rains,
the sowings are generally satisfactory. In
Bengal and Burman the rice crops are
quite up to the average, and should be able
to supply the distressed areas. In the
central provinces, unless rain falls by the
middle of the present month. severe and
widespread distress is inevitable. and eX
tensiye relief is also likely to be needed
in the Punjab, especially in the Delhi di-
vision and elsewhere. as the crops have
failed badly and satisfactory cold weather
sowing is not probable. In Madras the
prospects are good, and il the northeast
monsoon proves normal relief should be
unnecessary. A good deal of assistance
will, however, be required in the northern
districts of Bombay. Western India seems
to suffer the most. The rains of the mon
soon having largely failed-in some dis
tricts almost entirely, and in others to
the extent OF so per cent or more-a fail
ure in crops and a rise in price Of fodder,
grain, and food supplies have been caused.
Many distressed natives from the up
country famine districts are now hocking
to the cities, hoping to find employment TO
save themselves from want and hunger.
Luckily the recent good rain has much
benefited the Deccan. Roughly estimated,
it is now calculated that a crore or a
crore and a half (about So, 900 000) will be
added in the provinces for relief up to the
end of March, though much still depends
on the rains of October and November.
/ About half a crore (S2 900 ,O00) will be
needed for the Rajputana States, and it
/ is quite possible that the Government of
| India will arrange advance sums to the
! States for famine relief. Several rail-
/ way projects are now being made avail
/ able for famine labor, and practically in
/ RajpUtana. 1t is well to know that both
/ the Imperial and local governments are
/ on the alert, and thai al preparations in

sCHLEY's SAILING ORDERS.
Forbidden to Go to sonth Africa
With His Squadron.

With His Squadron.
The sailing orders issued to Rear Ad
miral Schley on Monday were made public
yesterday and created much comment in
naval circles. The pertinent part Of the
orders was: you will await further or
ders before any vessel of your command
visits any African port
Ever since Admiral Schley was assigned
TO the command of the South Atlantic
Squadron, Secretary Long has been fire.
qusntly asked if Admiral Schley would be
permitted TO 90 to South Africa to watch
the operations of the British fleets. His
replies have always been that South Africa
was within the limits of Admiral Schley's
station, When the sailing orders were is
sued TO Admiral Schley on Monday the
Navy Department gave out written state
ment which was said to contain the gist of
the orders. The statement was that Adj
miral Schley would sail for South African
waters and join the Wilmington and the
Montgomery, which are already there.
Secretary Long was asked Monday II
Admiral Schley would be permitted 70 go
to South Africa, but would only say that
South Africa was within the limits OF Adj
miral Sehley's station and that the written
statement contained all there was in the
sailing orders issued 10 the Admiral. Yes
terday Secretary Long, when asked con-
corning that portion of his order which pro-
hibited Admiral Schley from visiting South
Africa, said the orders were the usual ones
issued to feet commander; that after a
conference with the Secretary Of State, II
had been decided that it was best not to
permit any feet of this Government TO visit
South Africa at present II was thought
that if the American feet went there 1t
would be followed by fleets from the
French. German, and Russian nations. and
Great Britain might be embarrassed by
the assembling Of foreign vessels in the
neighborhood where she was disembarking
her troops.
The Secretary denied that there was any
intention Oh the part Of the Navy Depart
ment TO slight Admiral Schley.
