MINES AND HOT SPRINGS.
An Austrian Commission to Inves-
tigate Their Relation.

Austria just now Is in the midst of a great
commotion over the relation between
mining enterprises and hot springs. Both
of these natural industries have been
source of great wealth and pride to the
country for many generations past but 1t
has been found of late, after several hun
dred years Of simultaneous production. that
they interfere with each other seriously
For instance, the bottom suddenly dropped
out of the great hot springs of Teplitz some
years ago and flooded lot of coal mines
drowning some of the miners. The springs
were serious loss to Teplitz and no gain
to the coal mines, as the coal company did
not want 10 turn its mines into a health
resort So the Austrian government has
Just appointed a commission of experts to
inquire into the relation of springs and
mining. and their report Is awaited with
great eagerness.
It is notable that wherever mineral
springs exist or bathing resorts have been
established in Austria they are surrounded
by hills, in the valleys of which these
bathing places are situated. Teplitz, where
there are hot mineral springs lies in the
center of the Bohemian coal mining trade
and close to Carlsbad are the famous
kaolin or clay mines, from which 1900 rail-
way wagon loads Of clay are digged an
nually, and from these mines the necessary
material for the supply for the Austrian
and German factories is obtained. One of
tIle most serious QueSJOnS confronting those
interested in the mineral springs OF Austria
for many years past is, first, In what way
does mining endanger the flow of these
springs, and, second, in what way can the
best protection for the sources of these
waters be obtained?
The mineral springs in Austria, which are
mostly the property OF corporations or of
private individuals are highly valued by
the Austro-Hungarian imperial government.
while, on the other hand. the coal and clay
give work Ia thOnS9 nd Of ma md
in consequence of the abundant and cheap
supply of coal Furnishing manufacturing
towns have grown up along the lines of
these mining districts, from which the en-
pire derives a considerable income Up to
the year 1879 the inhabitants of Austria
never seriously investigated the question of
how far mining and mineral springs infiu-
ence each other, but in that year II was dis
covered that the hot springs of the town Of
Teplitz, which had been known to exist
since the year go. or LIZ years continu-
ously. had suddenly disappeared, and two
hours later reports reached the town that
water had broken into three coal mines
about fifteen miles distant from TeplitZ and
tWenty-one miners were drowned. When
In addition Ii was discovered that the
waters in the mines were 40' warm ii was
clear that II must have been the same
water that disappeared from the springs at
Tephtz.
During the past twenty years the
municipalities and proprietors of mineral
springs have been pettionlng the Austrian
government and parliament to establish
laws for the protection of mineral springs
against the effects of mining.

WAS GREATLY LOVED
REGALADo ESTEEMED BY THE
MASSES OF SALVADOR.

A prominent diplomat from Central Amer
lea today gave sketch of the life OF ex-
President Regaiado of Salvador, a country
which is not represented by a legation at
Washington.
The death of Gen. Tomas Regalado at
the engagement of Ell >Jicara. very near the
capital city of the republic OF Guatemala,
will be deplored as a loss to the whole of
Central America" declared the diplomat.
he was known widely and favorably
throughout the republics as brave soldier,
fair-minded loyal and generous man. No
one ever called on him for aid in adversely
without getting response. He was self
made man. He sprang from the common
people. and, without enjoying any very ex-
tended education, succeeded in mounting to
the top by a resolute energy alike in peace
and in war. He became a millionaire planter
at Santana largely through the same i'm
petuous action which distinguished him In
war. 1t Is said that he was born in Guate-
mala from parents in moderate circum-
stances, but he made fortune in Salvador,
where he has been identified prominently
In military affairs since 1892, when he won
success in war against Guatemala. He be-
came popular hero, with the reputation
of always springing headlong to the front
in battle charges. Such an action may nave
costshfm his life at Ell Jicara.
He was not identified prominently with
politics in San Salvador until 1891 when he
was elected president. A few months ago
he became minister of war of Salvador.
There Is no charge against him of conniv-
ing with revolutionists plotting to over
throw the governments of other republics
in Central America. He was, on the con-
trary, partisan of good understanding
among those republics. It must have been
in an official capacity, as commander-ln-
chief of the Salvadorean army, that he ad-
vanced into Guatemala territory
1t is said that after his retirement from
the presidency Regalado made an unusual
visit on mule back over the mountains TO
the president of Guatemala to attest ms
respects and friendly feeling for the Guate-
malans Other incidents from his life IN
Dictated that he was bent on 1mpetuousiy
executing anv protects which came to his
hand without much ado about conventions.
For these traits he was greatly loved py
the masses of Salvador.
