The President Receives Cable De-
spatch Opposing n Civil Governor.
The President has received a despatch
from Cuba protesting against the appoint
ment OF a Civil Governor for the island.
The protest was received by cable yester-
day and viii probably be discussed at the
Cabinet meeting today. The message was
signed by a number of prominent Cubans,
whose names will not be given out for
publication.
Il is said that the message condemned the
proposed appointment of a Civil Governor
for The island as unfair TO the Cubans, and
stated that if the time was ripe for civil
government the persons who should control
the government should be Cubans and not
citizens CT this country. The sendeTs also
protested against the withdrawal Of troops
from Cuba in case a Civil Governor was
appointed. as they say disturbances OF a
very serious nature are sure to arise and
life and property viii be endangered
1t is said that the President has already
decided to refer the question of civil gov
/ ernment for Cuba to Congress and the pro-
/ test just received, with any others that may
! be sent. will be forwarded to Congress.
! The President, ii is stated, viii not send

with Secretary Root with view OF having

FOUND IN GOOD CONDITION..
Timber in DOWN. wa Mines Not Badly
Swollen.

The condition of the workings in the
mines of the drowned district of Lead
vile is much better than was antici-
pated.
The timbers are not swollen nearly
as much as was expected and unless
there is much greater swelling of the
porphyry than there is any reason to
look for ii is thought that within thirty
days after bottom is reached all of the
principal producers of the district will
be in active operation.
Some of the operators express the
fear that when the territory is relieved
of the vast pressure of this immense
body of water. which has served L.
keep the workings in shape, there will
be more or less trouble from outside
pressure. Skilled engineers, however,
do not look for any danger from this
source and point to the fact that in the
upper levels of the unwatered mines,
which have now been free of water for
several months, there has been no
trouble from the pressure of the super.
incumbent rock and dirt.
Most of the companies interested in
this territory are now commencing to
make arrangements to work. The
Home Mining Company, which has had
charge of the unwatering operations.
will work the Penrose and Bon Air
shafts. and their lease of seventy-five
acres on the Starr placer. The Bohn
shaft will resume operations at once.
the Weldon is ready to go to work on
its repairs and ore bodies as soon as II
can do SO. and all the other mines af
fected are laying their plans. 1t is be-
lieved that by the first of April not
fewer than 300 men will be at work in
the downtown mines. and this number
will be steadily increased as fast as men
can be put to work until about 600 will
receive constant employment.

SHELTERS IN TROUBLE.
Scarcity of Lead Ores and Fuel Becoming
Serious.

Scarcity of Lead Ores and Fuel Becoming
Serious
Every smelter in the state is more or
less seriously affected by the terrible
storms which have been raging in the
mountains, blockading the railroads
and shutting off the supplies of ore
and fuel. The shortage of fuel, says
the Rocky Mountain News, has al
ready compelled the Omaha and Grant
to close down some of its furnaces,
and other smelters are in difficulties
either for fuel or ore. Smelter men do
not see any immediate prospect for
relief, as they point out that March is
n very bad month for snowslides and
blockades. but every device will be
resOrted to for the purpose of contin
uing the stacks in blast
The Globe smelter is not safe on the
fuel question, but has a troublesome
proposition to contend against in the
shape of scarcity of ore. The fuel
supply comes from the southern fields,
hence the supply is not interfered with
in the least, but the curtailing of the
ore supply causes great trouble in the
preparation of satisfactory furnace
charges. All of Summit and Park
county lead ores are shut OFF. includ-
ing the product of the famous Hill Top
mine, the biggest lead mine in Park
county. Little if any ore is coming
from Aspen. and only n small percent
age of the regular supply from Clear
Greek and Boulder. The freezing of
the big mills in the Occur dAlene dis
trict in Idaho has shut off consider
able quantity of lead from that sc
ton. The result is that the furnaces
are compelled to fall back largely on
Cripple Creek ores and Leadville iron,
and only about 65 per cent of the nor
NAL tonnage is being put through. The
principal trouble encountered in the
handling of such large percentage of
Cripple Creek ores is the production
in the furnace of a sticky. gummy
mass, caused by the presence of sill
cate of alumni, or ordinary clay. This
interferes with the deposition of the
precious metals, and the Stag has to be
very closely watched to prevent the
loss of gold and silver.
The ArgO plant is not n consumer of
coke. and treats copper ores largely, so
that as yet there have been no serious
difficulties there. Its coal supply is
drawn almost altogether from the
southern fields.
The Philadelphia smelter at Pueblo
usually keeps very large stock of ore
and fuel constantly on hand, but the
shortage of ore so long continued has
resulted in the blowing out of one fur
mace. The Philadelphia obtains $50
tons per day from Aspen, but for sew
eral weeks this has been shut off, as
well as some iron ore from the Lead
Vile district
. The Arkansas Valley plant at Lead
willie has been affected, not only by the
ell, <,,,ta ,f IN,,A 81,

largest mines of the Leadville district.
the 1beX, the Resurrection and the Dol
lie b. These are three gold belt prop
critics, the ores from which are treated
in Leadville, as the Valley smelter
cannot handle them at profit. so that
, their closing down has compelled the
Arkansas Valley plant to blow out sew
eral furnaces.

FEVER IN LEES DIVISION.
Failure to Carry Out Drainage Plans May

Havana, Feb. 26.-There are thirty

the fever may become epidemic.
When the camp was laid out the
plan provided for underground sewers,
the intention being to make the drain
age as good as exists in any American
city, with water to carry away all
refuse. This design was not carried
out, and the camp has sinks, not ma

in the United States. Some develop
ment of typhoid had been expected.
Typhoid also exists in the Tenth regu-

of Havana. Five cases from one com
pany are now in the hospital ship Mis-
souri,. The regiment, except the relief
station detail, will be moved out of the
city, though whether because of sani-
