The Mines of Snaln.

More than one-third of the quick
silver produced in the world last year
came from the mines of Spain. Those
mines were worked centuries before
Christ, and they seem good for GEN.
turtles more. Other quicksilver sup
plies are discovered, exploited for a
time, and exhausted. but no bottom
has been found 20 the veins of Spanish
cinnabar.
Many high authorities hold that other
mineral resources of Spain are quite
as splendid in proportion as her SUI
premacy in the production of mercury.
Spanish iron ore is sometimes shipped
to the United States, yet the mines are
said to be worked In very clumsy,
ineffective fashion. 1t is even claimed
that the coal supplies of the peninsu-
Id are superior to those of any other
part of the continent, but these. again,
are managed in careless, indolent.

TEUTONS TAKE TAsREsM0W
DUKLA PASS is ALSO CAPTURED,
VIENNA CLAIMS.
German Offensive Is Maintained From
the Baltic to Roumania and In
France and Belgium.

London, May S.-The Germans, In
consort with their Austrian allies, aIe
putting forth an effort the extent of
which has never been approached in
the history of war
Throughout virtually the whole
length of the eastern front they are
engaged with the Russians, while in
the West, in addition to their attacks
around Ypres, they are on the offensive
at many points. At other points they
are being attacked by the French.
British and Belgians.
Far up in the Russian Baltic prov
inces, heretofore untouched by the
war, the Germans are attempting to
advance toward Libau and Riga; on
the East Prussian frontier they are
engaged in a series of battles, and
with big gun are bombarding at long
range, as they did at Dunkirk, the
Russian fortress of Grodno; in Gen.
trail Poland they have had to defend
themselves against Russian attack;
in western Galicia they are attempting
with all their strength to smash the
Russian flank and compel the Rus
SLAMS to abandon the Carpathian
passes, which they gained at such
cost during the winter.
In this western Galicia battle the
Germans claim to have made still
greater advance and to have crossed
the Wisloka river, which is well to the
east of the Dunajec river, which I'M
til few days ago formed part of the
Russian front, and to have put their
hands firmly on Dukla pass. The Aus
TRANS announce the. capture of Tar
now.
In conjunction with this attack from
the west the Austrians are attempting
to drive the Russians from Lupkow
pass, farther to che east, and with sue
cess, according to the German account.
In ALL the Germans claim TO have TAX
en- 10000 Russian prisoners since the
offensive was undertaken last Satur-
number at more than $4,000 and ex-
press the belief that the whole Rus
sian Third army will be de-
stroyed
These reports show that the Austro-
German blow is meeting with the
greatest success on the northern
slopes of the western Carpathians, for
toward the Upper Vistula the Russians
appear to be in their old posi-
tons
Despite the claims of the Austrians
and Germans, the Russian representa-
tives in the European capitals reiter-
ate that the victory has been greatly
exaggerated, and the public is waiting
to hear what Grand Duke Nicholas,
commander in chief of the Russian
forces, has to say about it.

CARBOLIC ACID FAMINE NEAR
United States Soon to Be Destitute of
AEliseptic as Result of
the War.

Chicago, May 1.-THE United
States faces a famine in carbolic acid.
The simplest and most popular anti
septic in use in hospitals throughout
the world will be an unknown guam
tity in America If the European war
continues six months longer.
Already the value of the drug has
increased tenfold and only few hos
pitfalls in the country have sufficient
on hand with which to continue for
a year or longer. Many hospitals are
out of the antiseptic entirely and they
are unable to get it at any price. This
is true particularly of the Presbyterian
hospital in Chicago, which a few days
ago discontinued the use Of carbolic
acid as an antiseptic.
