BEWARE DIAMOND MINES.
Sending Out Not AL
together Unselfish Warnings.

NEW YORK. August 28.-Diamond min
ing schemes Of fraudulent character are
being started, say dealers in precious
stones, who are sending out warnings. The
schemers. 1t is said, are taking advantage
Of the discovery of real diamonds in the
rocks In Pike county. Ark, to say that
similar discoveries have been made else
where. Wholesale dealers are accordingly
notifying the retail dealers Of the danger.
1t Is not the risk Of men losing their
money by buying stock In worthless mining
companies that bothers the wholesaler His
apprehension is lest people get the idea
that diamonds really are becoming plenti-
full Such notion might depress prices and
disturb the trade, Which has been enjoying
prosperous conditions for several years.
There is no real reason" one of the large
importers of diamonds said, "why real
profits of great size should be offered to the
public for small capital. 1t Is only in
cases Of pure speculation or absolute fraud
that companies devote their efforts to SELL
ing diamond mining stocks in small
amounts.
even when an actual diamond mine is
found there Is no assurance that it will be
paying proposition. There are in South
Africa scores of real diamond mines in
which the percentage of diamonds is too
small for profit. A handful Of mines pro-
tell whether or not a diamond mine will be
profitable until 1t has been worked to a
great extent. By that time the promoters
have no need Of soliciting additional capital
as the output can be converted into cash
quickly"

Sailed for Acapulco.

Capt. Usher reported to the Navy Depart
ment by cable from Acapulco. Mexico, that
he had sailed yesterday from that port for
San Diego CAL, en- route to San Francisco
on the cruiser st. Louis. This vessel, In a
way, has been quietly looking into the re-
sources Of the various ports on the eastern
and western coasts of South America as
she voyaged around that continent in an
ticipation of the cruise Of the battleship
feet from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Capt
Usher sailed from the United States about
the middle Of last June, and has been TAX
ing 1t easily on his cruise, saving a good
deal of coal by keeping down the speed of
the st. Louis and making many calls upon
the officials Of the various countries where
he touched. His proposed stop at San
Diego is little out of the ordinary naval
route, and 1t Is probable that he wishes to
look at the possibilities Of the place as q
coaling station. -. :,

TO KEEP OUT YELLOW FEVER.
National Board Of Sanitation to b
Established in Cuba.

A national board of sanitation. which
shall have power to prescribe and enforce
sanitary regulations in all parts Of the
Island of Cuba, is provided for in a decree
which Gov. Magoon at Havana is about to
issue. This step is indirectly the outcome
Of the recent attack of yellow fever in
Cienfuegos and in other places, coupled
with a report from Gov. Magoon which
showed that the Cubans had not maintain
ed regimen sufficiently efficient to pre-
vent the temperance Of the fever in the
island. The governor reported to Seer
tary Taft that the local sanitary officers
were relaxing the regulations or permitting
their violation to pass unnoticed, with the
result that there was again danger that
the yellow fever might spread in the local
tiles more remote from Havana. Secretary
Taft took up the matter with the President
when he visited Oyster Bay recently and it
was then decided that the step proposed
by Gov. Magoon would not only be ex-
pedient, but wholly within the authority
of the governor and within the power Of
the United States to enforce even after the
present occupation shall have ended.
