northwest of Buluwayo and is known
to extend over 400 square miles. The
seams vary from feet to IS feet in
width and as the coal lies within 40
feet of the surface it will be worked
by means of inclines instead of shafts.
In so large an area the quality natural
~ varies but it is claimed that the
coal is better than that now in use in
Cape Colony. Natal. and the Trans
vaal. In Iululand coal prospecting
has been carried on upon the coast to
the south of the tmlalaZi river, but
without satisfactory results. Figures
are given as to amounts of different
South African coal required to do the
same work as one ton Of Welsh coal
Ocean Marthyr). showing that the Ma
tai coal gave the best results, it's esti-
mate being l,1O2 tons. as compared
with 1.562 for Nereeniging. 1854 for

is anticipated that in the near future
Natal coal will be delivered at Port
Elizabeth and Cape Town at price
comparing favorably with that OF
Welsh coal.

SPAIN BETTER OFF.
Actually Gaining in Prosperity Since
She Lost Cuba.

From Tie London Times
The British consul general al BARGE
Iona states. in his last report, that the
expectation of Barcelona manufac-
lures to Cuba Porto Rico and the
Philippines continues to decline. Last
year it amounted only to G120OO,
against G36O,0O0 in 1900 and !c2.SOO00
in 1899. Thus these markets are no
longer of material importance to the
main center of Spanish manufacturing
industry. Nevertheless, this great loss
has not. as might have been anticipat-
ed. produced commercial or financial
depression. or led to a great diminu-
ton of general wealth and we'll being.
The Spanish manufacturers at once
srappled with the situation and care
fully and assiduously turned their at
tention to the requirements of their
own country. which had hitherto been
neglected for the colonial markets. In
many directions, especially in woven
goods of all classes and cotton and
linen cloth. they are able to supply
goods at prices which place them be-
yond competition. This and the good
harvests have led to a larger sale of
Barcelona manufactures than at any
previous period. New factories have
sprung up to meet the demand, and
the wealth and commerce of the city
are larger than they ever We're before
Barcelona has now Il popula atOn of
over 6OO, 900; new roads are being made
and new buildings being constructed
all around. and it is rapidly becoming
one of the handsomest cities in F,u-
rope. as we'll as quite cosmopolitan.
'Forcigners of all nations are Hockng
here on business connected with cleo
trio tramways and every branch of
industry and commerce. and everyone
visiting this city remarks that no one
seeing Barcelona could ever consider
Spain wanting in wealth."

The President proposed reference to
the International Court of Arbitration as
the best and surest method for an early
aud satisfactory settlement of the trouble.
Germany and England did not tarry long
in answering the Presidents proposition
in the form of JOINT request that Presi-

traitor instead of The Hague tribunal
This answer has somewhat disconnected
the administration, for the officials here
see the diplomatic side of it. and tho
reason why the powers desire the Presi-

The Azetecs Not a Dead Race.

To the mind OF the general reader
the term Aztec conveys the idea Of a
more or less misty. extinct greatness;
the idea of great body Of aboriginal
Americans of mysterious origin, who
at the time of the advent of the Span
ish had reached the acme of power and
native civilization, and then unexplain-
eddy very rapidly and completely van
ished.
These problems-namely, the origin
or derivation. the physical type and
physical destiny of the Aztecs, to clear
which history alone proves insufficient
have been and remain prominently
the subjects of anthropological inves-
tigation; and through these investiga-
tions. in which the anthropological de-
partment Of the American Museum Of
Natural History, New York, is taking
an important part, enough has already
been achieved to warrant the hope that
in not a very far future but little con-
corning the Aztecs will be left in OBJ
security. One result of these investiga-
tons is the knowledge that the Aztecs
Of the time Of the conquest are still
represented by numerous pure blood
survivors.
They are scattered, but still clearly
recognizable by student of the people
In the suburbs of the city and in prac-
tically all the smaller towns in the Val
ley OF Mexico. From the valley they
can be traced southwark: they are nu-
merous in the districts of Amecameca,
and they occupy, though probably
largely mixed with the Nahuan branch
OF Tlahuitecs, entire villages near and
III the mountainous country between
Cuautla and Cuernavaca, in the State
| OF Morelos. In this last-named region
| there are i'll particular two large vii
| lagos, Tetelcingo and Cuautepec, Ill
which the Aztec Nahuan descendants
not only speak the pure Aztec language
and know but little Spanish, but they
also preserve their ancient dress ana
ancient way of building their dwell
ings. In both of these villages the ma
| tives are almost free from mixture
| with whites.
! TO estimate the number of pure-blood
| Aztec Nahuan descendants still In ex-
istence is very difficult The Aztec
language is still used by at least mili-
ion. probably more. Of the natives OF
