On a Marrow Gauge Railway


I iourneyed from Uyuni to Oruro on the
railroad distance of 200 miles The gauge
is feet inches Baldwin locomotives are
used. and the little bob passenger coaches
were made in Springfield. Mass. The train
service was very slovenly. Many Indian
villages are along the route, and about
fifty miles from Oruro the evidence OF the
mining industry began to appear Oruro
itself has some profitable silver and TN
mines controlled by Chillans, but Ameri-
cans. English, French and Germans are
also interested and English speech Is COM
mon.
From Oruro to La Paz is 100 miles, partly
across pampas or mountain plains and part
ly over ravines and broken country. The
diligencia or stage, sometimes by means OF
special relays of mules, covers it on sched-
ule time, which is two days. The rains had
made the roads heavy, and on this trip
twice that time was required. Once the
stage was stuck in the mud and the pas
sengers compelled to pass the night with no
other shelter, and another night was spent
in the same manner, except that the mules

Tombs Four Centuries Old.
tombs OF the Indians. They are said to be
four centuries old, though it hardly seems
credible that the mixture of mud and straw
of which they are composed should show so
few signs of the wear of time. They APP
pear to be almost as fresh as the cabins of
the present day jewellers. They are square
or rectangular in shape, from eight to
twelve feet high. and hollow Some are
open at the top and some closed. They
have an opening in one side and sometimes
in both sides. All face toward sunrise.
Though they are now put to baser and pro-
faner uses the natives are said still to hold
them in generation. All the signs of rever-
ence which / saw were several Indians
summing themselves and snoOZing at the
tombs of their ancestors.
The village of Sicasica is notable for an

Business Enterprises Controlled.

Some of the largest vineyards and winer-
les in the country are owned by the relig-
ious communities; they are proprictors of
mills, and all kinds of factories, and the
nuns come into competition with dressmak-

needlework. The entire wedding trousseau

household linen and underwear were con-
cerned, was made by the nuns and is said

keenly the competition. and many of them

Mr.. Sagasta was never very radical in his

author of several measures removing the

legislative act was to secure the passage
OF a law subjecting the religious associa-

Sofia. Bulgaria. Aug. 1S.-The for
eign diplomats here are anxiously
watching the effect Of the memoran-
dunn which the Bulgarian government
has presented to the powers on the
subject Of the condition of affairs in
Macedonia. They fear that 1t may ex.
cite popular opinion In Bulgaria and
point out that such emphatic, out
spoken criticism is usually reserved
for manifestos issued on the eve OF
war. although it is regarded as being
quite improbable that the memoran-
dunn was a prelude in the present case
to anything more serious than IN
creased tension.
Most of the diplomatic representa-.
tives at Sofia visited the foreign office
here during the day and received as
surances from the foreign minister
that Bulgaria had not the slightest de-
sire to antagonize Turkey or any other
power, but merely wished to show un'
mistakenly where the responsibility
for the Macedonian revolution be
lOnged.
