Plan for Smuggling Cinnamon.

Hong Kong, Sept. 4.-Reliable in.
formation is at hand that some 4Oo
Chinese are to be shipped from hele
via San Francisco. purporting to be
acrobats, jugglers, etc., for the Phila.
delphia exhibition, and that certain
men here have received certain sums of
money TO cause them to be landed in
America, and the Chinese believe that
they will be allowed to remain there.
The first batch of 100 have gone for
ward in the Nippon Maru. There is
no doubt that these Cinnamon are
simply being smuggled irto America

Packing Plant Burned.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 4.-Fire
broke out at O'Clock this morning in
the big plant of the Jacob Dold Pack
ing Company, which covers several
acres of ground on the west river bot
toms between Ninth street and the
Missouri river. The fire started in the
fertilizing department, burned through
the engine room and was burning fierce
~ before any fire apparatus arrived.
The water pressure in the vicinity OF
the fire was very low, and the firemen
were handicapped in their work. The
fertilizing department, the engine
room, the ice plant, the sausage de-
partment and the lard room were de.
stroyed, with much costly machinery,
and other parts of the plant were more
or less damaged.

Food Supply Is Low.

Manila, Sept. 5.-Many Spanish
prisoners are escaping from the Fill
pinos and bringing into the American
lines stories OF hard treatment. They
agree that the Filpinos are exceedingly
short OF rations, and that large sec
tion of their troops is reduced to the
use of homemade black powder. The
natives are trying every scheme to get
food and munitions from Manila.
Daily arrests are made for attempts to
smuggle contraband of war through the
American lines. In one case a cascoe
with cargo of bamboo poles was over
hauled and the poles were found full
of rice.
The insurgents have wholesome
respect for the British on account OF
several threats of British walships to
hom bard their towns unless the rights
of British subjects are respected.

CUBA'S NEEDS

Lee Recommends Independence With a
| Protcctorate.
Chicago. Sept. "A special tr the
Times H erald from Washington says:
General Fitzhugh Lee has made an
elaborate report on prevailing condi-
tions in the territory in Cuba under
his jurisdiction, and takes strong
ground for an independent Cuban gov
ernment under an American protector
ate. The war department in March
directed the commanders Of depart
ments in Cuba to make report on the
conditions in their several sections,
and to accompany it with recommen-
dations as to the treatment of the ma
tives. General Lee is the only COM
mander who has SO far responded.
General Lee begins his report by
stating conditions III Havana and Pinar
del Rio provinces are making rapid
progress toward state Of peace, good
order and prosperity. He goes into
this in great detail, taking up the SUBJ
ject town by town, and showing gen.
eral Improvement throughout the west
ern end of the island. His report in
this respect is very gratifying, indicat-
ing as it does that there is not so much
suffering from want of food as is often
asserted in unofficial reports.
Turning to recommendations, Gen.
eral Lee urges the taking Of self-gov-
eminent General Lee thinks that the
next steps should be the careful con-
sideration of the question of suffrages
for the Cubans. He takes it for grant
ed that there will be elections by the
natives, and he points out the import
ance of wise action in determining the
qualifications of voters
He recommends an Independent re-
publican government, with president,
yice-p1esident and congress. He would
have this established soon, and ad-
vises the holding of general election
for the selection of those officers. He
says nothing about constitution, leav-
ing it to be inferred that he either over
looked that steL or would have it left
to the Cuban congress to provide after
its installation in Office.
General Lee evidently foresees that
while the United States might provide
Cuba with model system of govern
ment, the natives would be likely to
spoil it in the administration, and he
has submitted suggestions for keeping
the government machinery running
along lines that commend themselves
to the American mind.
Even after relieving the Cubans in
part OF American protection, he would
have United States troops maintained
in the island to protect Americans and
other aliens in the enjoyment of their
personal and property rights.

superintendent George Warwick Of
the Sunshine mine in Camp Floyd dis
trict, who is in the city, brought in
with him some fine samples of ore from
this property, which were submitted 10
fire tests in the afternoon.
The Herald is informed that in the
development of this prospective bonan-
"a, the workings on the 300-foot level
at a point 800 feet north of the working
incline shaft have encountered what Is
believed to be an extension of the over
land vein, the mineral being high
grade for q teaching gold product,
while it is highly oXidized ore, which
can be treated most successfully by
the cyanide process of reduction.
The showing in other portions of the
property is also encouraging, and it IS
stated that on the 300 level, at dis
lance of about 300 feet south of the
shaft, the drift or level has penetrated
body of sulphide gold-bearinS ore,
which carries values ranging from $l2
TO SIG to the ton
The Sunshine, as is we'll known, is
equipped with one of the finest reduc-
tion plants in the district, the works
having been closed down for a year or
more because Of the fact that the proc
ess employed was not making a SUI
ficiently high gold recovery to justify
the continuance of operations, although
there was no lack of good ore in the
mine. But now, however, if the Over
land ledge has been found, as reported,
some good news from the property may
be looked for at an early day
Mr. Warwick is employing two shifts
at the mine at the present time, it be-
ing more than likely that this force
will soon be increased.

c. H. Wilbur, superintendent of the
Golden Eagle in Humboldt county. Ne
vada, whose return from the mine was
chronicled in yesterdays Herald, talks
most encOuragingly regarding this
property, in which many Salt Lakers
are interested.
According to Mr.. Wilbur, the mine
never looked better and he is of the
opinion that it will yet astonish its
warmest friends.
In speaking Of delayed trains, Mr..
Wilbur stated that the snow and rain
fall III that locality this winter had
been heavier than Tor years past, al
most blockading the roads, but that on
Monday last teams had been loaded
with ore for the Salt Lake market, the
intention being to maintain shipments
as regularly as possible hereafter. AS
for the mine, the new shaft shows ore
all the way down, while other portions
of the mine are looking well, while,
during the past sixty days, over 800
tons of good milling ore has been add
ed to the large amount Of This class of
mineral now awaiting the erection of
a mill.
In referrin gto the OGld Hill mine,
adjoining the Golden Eagle, Mr. Will
bur informed The Herald that il is
proving up well with development work
and likely to join the list of shippers
within sixty days, as the ledge has
been opened up in several places, a two
foot vein showing at one point, which
assays $40 in gold to the ton.

ment of this property as rapidly as pos

sweater and, putting his legs through the

road were thrown into commissions and

first day of 1899, and as active work
has been pushed in its development ever

announcement that already encourag-
