terrible losses of the British in South Africa.

horror manifested over the loss Of life is highly

He Recommend. More Cables to Co.
lonial Prosecutions.
The extent to which the Government is
constructing and operating cable and tele-
graph lines as a result Of recent territorial
acquisitions and controls is brought out
In the report Of General Greedy. Chief
Signal Onicer. This shows that the tele-
graph system of Cuba. formerly owned and
operated by Spain, has been taken over and
developed By the Signal Corps. and that at
the close Of the f-cal year $500 miles OF
line were IN operation. of which 500 miles
were absolutely news lines and the remain
der largely reconstructed.
= General Greely discusses the question OF
Cuban cable and telephone concessions,
showing the legal and diplomatic Difficult
ties surrounding them, as well as the prac-
tical difficulties aundst which the military
cable lines are kept. in operation. He
recommends thedaying Of deep sea ca
BILE between Porto Rico and Cuba, which
would cost about $500, 900. By this means
all communications, ,sbetween Porto Rico
and the United States would pass over
strictly American lines.
In the Philippines General Greedy shows
that the effort d theI United States to lay
cables for military operations was antago-
nized by the private companies owning
lines there. General Greedy says there
are certain provisions of the Spanish ca
BILE concessions which plainly cannot be
acceded to by the United States. especially
the absolute cable rights for an indefinite
period. not only in the Philippines but in
all Spanish possessions in the Pacific. He
says 1t il only a matter Of time when Luz
zon will be connected with Formosa by an
international cable, thus giving an outlet
to Japan and China. AS to Pacific capie,
the report says, in part:
In order to Join close together the
United States and its Pacific colonies 1t is
essential to span the Pacific by q subma-
rine cable, as recommended by the Presi-
dent to Congress in his special message of
February 10, 1899. The great value of such
a cable is not alone for military purposes.
but more especially for the fostering of
industrial interests in the new colonies
and in order to facilitate commercial oper-
ations.''
General Greedy suggests that an inter
national cable conference should consider
the whole subject OF the rights OF cable
property In time OF war.
Wireless telegraphy receives considerable
attention. General Greedy says that as a
means OF connecting the islands Of the
West Indies. Hawaii, and the Philippines,
which are In the range OF its action, wire-
less telegraphy should prove OF value. The
Signal Corps experiments have shown that
its officers and men are able to furnish a
practicable system of wireless telegraphy.
The Signal Corps has already operated its
own system successfully between Fire ISL
and and Fire Island lightship. distance
OF about twelve miles. General Greeiy
says there is no reasonable doubt that in
the immediate future wireless telegraphy
will replace, with equal advantage to COM
merce and the army, the military cables
necessary to connect harbor fortiications.

Coaches Derafled and Men Injured

EVANSTON. Wyo., Nov. "a section Of
the train carrying the Forty second Vol
unteer Infantry, consisting Of seven
coaches full of soldiers en- route for the
Philippines, was ditched yesterday at a
point about one and one-half miles east of
Castle Rock. OF the entire train the en-
gine alone remained on the track. The ac-
cident occurred on a dugway, the bank be-
ing on the left side and forming the outer
circuit Of a curve. Against this bank the
entire train was jammed.
The train was running down Wasatch
Hill with doubie-header. The grade be-
ing very heavy at that point, the road en-
gine was applying the air brakes. allowing
the helper engine to run slack. causing the
coupling pin to jump out between them.
Some of the soldiers were seriously in
iured and others badly bruised.

We fail to see any mention Of General
Wheeler in connection with recent military
movements in the Philippines. Has Otis
received orders to bottle up the fighting
cavalry man? As the general is said to
have expressed an intention to take his
seat in Congress next winter. something Of
the kind probably has occurred.

 THE attention of the Arizona press should be directed toward our mining industry. Although capital is seeking investment in our mines, there should be no-relaxation on the part of Arizona newspapers to keep before the public our vast mineral resources. To the press is due in great measure our pres- ent era of mining industry, but it should be borne in mind that the industry is but in it's infancy, and to speak of it as 1t really it and make known the supe- rior advantages awaiting the investor will hasten an expansion in the business and put Arizona at the hea of the col umn as a copper and gold producer. All that is needed to accomplish this is the magic touch of the capitalists wand. Let us give less attention to politics and cooperate in furthering our general in terests. Mining IS the paramount ques. tion; other things will shape themselves in the course of events.-Siiver Belt.
