How He Crossed the Bridge.

The unaffected modesty which marks
the best type of courage is one of the
most winning traits a man can have,
be he soldier or civilian. During re-
cent battle in the Philippines, Kansas
regiment was brought to halt at a
wrecked bridge. The trying situation
is thus described by hero Of the war,
Lieut.. Col Little:
"As the colonel was across and my
battalion at the head Of the column,
my bugler, Berry Of Company f, and
l were the first to reach the bridge,
and, Of course, the first to cross.
"I've read of men crossing bridges
under fire at the head Of columns, and.
supposed the sensation was peculiar.
1t was not. A man simply tries to pad
die along as fast as he can, and get
across. ! beat Berry over, but we
haven't decided yet whether I was the
braver or the worse scared"

THE COPPER PRODUCT.
Capitalists Active in the Search for
Good Mines


Good Mines.
The report just prepared by the
United States geological survey of the
copper production for 1898 shows that
there is a rush on the part of capital
lists to invest their money in this in
dustry equal to that in specializing in
gold securities. Intense activity has
developed in the search for new cop

The results upon the copper marke-
of the formation of this trust is being
anxiously watched by the outside con-
Germs engaged in the same indus Try.
The official figures for the production
of copper in 1898 do not indicate the
real activity in this business which
marked last year. The actual scarcity
CT the metal, with its accompanying
upward rush in price and its enormous
expansion of stock speculation, did noe
in reality develop until the end of 1898,
and consequently it did not tell upon
the returns for that year As was ex-
pected, however, the increase IN the
production of copper was largest in
Arizona, while the lake districts also
recorded an advance. Montana. much
to the surprise of operators, fell off
considerably. The total output for the
year was 234,9S9 tons, the largest in
the history of the country, and gain
OF about $1,000 tons over the preceding
year. 1t is probable that the record OF
the production of no other metal
shows such u steady and constant ad-
vance in volume as copper From the
first production of 100 tons in 1916 the
industry has grown slowly and surely,
going ahead every year. In 1880 the
output was $1,000 TONS in 1890 it was
$4,000 tons, in 1895 it was 1859 OOG
tons, and in 1897 it was 222 900 tons.

SURPRISING a CUBAN PAPER

Washington, Aug. s. - Col. Carlos
Garcia, the sen of the late Gen. Garcia.
criticized, in an interview today, the
action of Brig-Gen. Ludlow. governor
of Havana, in suppressing the Havana
reconcentrado newspaper. Col. Garcia
said this was a Spanish custom, which
had been rightly denounced - the
United States. 1t was an act ne said
that would be construed by manv Cu-
bans to mean that the civil authorities
in Cuba are mere igureheads He. ad-
ded:
THE civil laws in Cuba are ample
to punish people who commit libel, and
1 cannot understand why Gen. Ludlow
should have acted in such an arbitrary
manner OF course, l do not know all
the facts, but l do know that to be con-
sistent the General will have to con
tinue to suppress other Cuban news
papers that have the temerity to criti
cize the officials appointed to office by
Gen. Brook. know Gen Ludlow and
admire him. He is a capable gentle
man, and 1 take it that he has been
deceived and imposed upon.
There can be no independence or
personal liberty without free speech
and free press. What would the PEG
pie of the United States say if the au-
thorities should suppress a newspaper
for abusing, justly or unjustly, the ad-
ministration? I imagine there would
