Siberian Minerals.

The mineral resources of Siberia in
clude gold, silver, copper, iron, mer-
curry, tin, coal, Ignite, graphite, sui
phur, naptha, common salt, glauber
salts and a great variety of precious
stones. Gold is distributed and work
ed over very large territory, princi-
pally in the basin of the Obi, Yenissei,
Lena and Amoor rivers. Over $4,000
miners are employed in the gold mines
and occupation is also given to a con-
siderable population in transporting
goods to the mines. The absence of
railroads and of mechanical works for
making and repairing machinery has
prevented the development of these
fields, but the great Siberian railway
will soon open up vast territory. Iron
and coal are also widely distributed,
but have not been developed for the
same lack of transportation facilities.

Manila, April 1.-The main part OF
General MacArthur's army still rests III
Maloos. Our scouts today penetrated as
far north as Calumpit, and then off to the
eastward without finding a trace of Agui-
naldo's army. We shall probably advance
to Calumpit tomorrow.
Hundreds of native men and women
who fled before the advance OF our troops
are returning TO their homes. Every
thing shows that Aguinaldo's forces are
scattered in confusion. Our scouts and
skirmishers are searching in vain for the
staggering TagalOs. The rebels can not
retreat much further nOrthward up the
valley without abandoning the Tagalon
country and getting among unfriendly and
hostile tribes in the provinces of Tarlac
and Pangasinan. The only safe line OF
retreat now left to Aguinado and his fol-
lowers is eastward into the mountains OF
the province of Neuva Ecija. The Filipino
government is at San Fernando, at the
northern end OF the railway line Malolos.
where our troops now are, is about half
way between Manila ana San Fernando.
AguinaIdo's Army MEETS Away.
Chinese residents report that Aguinado
has but l400 men left with HIM there.
Aguinaldo and his staff were the first to
leave Malolos, taking a special train on
the railway to carry them to place OF
safety. Prisoners say that the insurgents
refused to obey the orders of their gen
erals and make stand at Malolos, so Il
retreat was of necessity decided upon.
Natives CInmor for Peace.
"A vast multitude of natives who have
been driven northward are anxious to re-
turn home, but are held back by armed
Agalos This homeless population has
sent committee to plead with the insur-
gent government to make peace. Our
prisoners declare that before the people
will consent to be driven into the noun
tains by AguinaldO, they will force him
to surrender or break through the insur-
gent lines. After grinding down the peO-
pie, reducing them to absolute slavery and
telling them stories of victories over the
Americans Aguinaldo is said to be now
claiming that the Americans will offer
terms of peace and compromise.
Four Americans Vanished.
Entering the prison of Malolos today /
found the names OF four American pris-
Oners written in charcoal on the walls.
They were IL. Huber, William Bruce, Al
bert Sonrichsen and E Honnyman. The
natives say four prisoners We're several
times marched through the streets to be

Sanitarium For Las Cruces.

The sanitarium that has been talke
of for several days for Las Cruces will
in q few months be of a more substan-
tial nature that at present. It is just
now a promised improvement to our
town by responsible parties of sound
business judgment and far sightedness.
From q medical standpoint this climate
is the best in the world for an institu-
ton of that kind. COnsumptives can
defy the ravages> of the dreaded dis
ease here longer than anywhere, with
chances of recovering entirely from it's
wasting effects.
The sauitarium in question will be
located on the vacant property directly
opposite the court house, and will be
constructed on Gothic principles with
porticos ioclosed with heavy glass.
where the full benefit of the sun may
be had on windy days.
Surrounding this magnificent struo-
ture will be court drives, little hooks
among shady bowers, sparkling foun-
tains and basins of golden fish. All
the comforts that money can provide,
and assistance the Santa F'e rail-
road company can render will be
offered to the health seeker at rea-
sonable compensation, compared to SER
vices and comforts of the resort. There
is no reason for not believing that new
blood will soon enrich the sluggish
fluids of Las Cruces veins. Let us
hope that all new enterprises will be
welcomed with open arms and graceful
Democrat.

FOUND in THE ACEQUIA.
Remains OF An Unknown Man Dis
covered Near Las Cruces.

A gentleman came in SUNDAY in
quest OF justice of the peace with the
news that he had made horrible and
disgusting discovery in the aceuuia a
short distance above town. The re-
mains were almost entirely beyond re-
cOgnition, the flesh so badly decompos-
ed and the clothing in such a condition
that it is at this writing it is hard to
discover its nationality.
1t has been suggested that perhaps it
Is the person of John Green of Rincon,
who gave bail on charge some time
ago and left town on grape vine
track and fell off the EN- bankment into
the yellow slime of the ditch and
drowned. AS soon as the proper
officials make their report
1t Is surmised they will sub
stantiate the rumor that the mans
head has been mashed in and that
some papers found will lead to the
mans Identification. But at this time
nothing definite can be printed, and
the meager news may be only enough
to relegate the discovery to the list of
mysterious tragedies of the west
Papers found upon the body are so
cemented together that it is impossi-
BILE now to examine them. A Utah
address upon them, however, may lead
to further developments, as the sheriff
will communicate with the party, and
forward q lock of the hair.-Independ-
