international Copper Trust Formed.

Contracts were signed in London Friday
which formally transferred to single or
ganization practically all of the larger pro-
ducing copper mines in the United States.
According to estimates the actual value of
the mining properties taken over will ex-
coed $400, 200, 900. In effect the new or
ganzatiou is an international trust in cop
per. The organization will protect the
price both in Europe and America and give
to the company the power to distribute the
output intelligently and economically to
the markets where it is most in demand
The Rothschilds furnished the funds and
made the stipulations for the European in
terests involved, while the Standard Oil
company is credited with having acted in
the same capacity for the American side.

NATIVE TROOPS
TO BE UTILIZED

Chicago, Jan. 31.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Dr..
OReillys suggestion that native troops
be utilized to the greatest extent possible
is favored by the medical officers in
Washington and unless the situation de-
mands that the present force be kept in
Cuba it is likely that large part of it
will be withdrawn within the next few
months.
Col. c.. r. Greenleaf of the medical de-
partment, who was on Miles staff during
the war and acted as chief surgeon of the
army in the field has been ordered to
Cuba at once and will leave on the medi-
cal ship Bay State from Savannah about
Thursday. He has just returned from an
extensive trip through the west and an
inspection tour of the transports and hos
pitfalls in San Francisco.
Surgeon General Sternberg desires to
have the medical officers of the army
take immediate charge Of the hospital
service abandoned by the Spanish in Cuba
and with this end in view. Col. Green
leaf will examine all the buildings along
the coast and in the interior, making re-
ports as he goes, and direct their rehabili-
tation, especially as to cleanliness and
supplies. The institutions are reported to
be in a des perate state from neglect and
it will require some energetic work to get
them into the sanitary condition required
