NEW YORK, March THE "Interna-

whose object is to DO various kinds of
business in Cuba and Pan American coun-
tries, filed its papers in New Jersey yes
terday. Its incorporators are Gen f. C.
O'Brien. David B. Simpson, and Henry 7.
Dumbell. The capital stock is $500. Geo. As
its name implies, the primary plan of the
company is to conduct a newspaper or
newspapers. These papers are to be p. int

Spanish and Cuban people principally.

Mr.. Simpson said yesterday: zone Of the
principal objects Of this company is to
publish a newspaper in the Spanish Ameri-

COAL MINES In INDIA.
Pats That Can BE Worked without
Freeing Firednmp.


Coal is widely distributed throughout In
dia. except in Bombay and Sind. the north
west provinces, and Oudh. Rajputana. and
MysOre, where the mineral is either
scantily distributed or entirely absent. The
seams in Bengal and Assam are frequent
" from fifty feet and eighty feet to as
much as $50 feet in thickness. The pits
are often Of considerable depth. At pres
ent the deepest appears to be about 700
feet. In may cases the working Of the
seams leads to the escape Of little or no
fire-damp so that the miners are able TO
work with naked lights. At the present
time Bengal produces more than three
fourths of-the coal mined in India. Indian
coal varies much in composition and quail
~. Most OF it is quite suitable for Ordi-
nary purposes while some Of the samples.
for example certain of these from Bengal
and Central India, are Of excellent quality.
equal to that OF some of the best British
Goals.
The fixed carbon of the Bengal coal
ranges between 50 and so per cent and the
calorific value exceeds 0GO cal0ries-equal
to about ten British thermal units-while
the ash often does not much exceed and in
some instances falls below 10 per cent. and
the sulphur frequently present in but very
small proportion.
