Production of Coal In 18o7.
From a preliniiiiarystateiiient com
piled by E. W. f'arktu-, Statistician of
the I'niteil States Geological Survey,
it is shown that the total output of
coal in the United States amounted.
approximately, to 193,100,000 a frae
tion less than $1.00 per ton. Com
pared with 1800, this shows an in
crease in tonnage of 0,270,000 tons, or
about 3.3 per cent. The increase in
the value of tho product was only 1,
700.000. a little less than .0 of ono per
cent.
The amount of coal produced in
18117 was the largest on record. The
average value per ton was the lowest
over known, continuing the declining
tendency which has been shown
without any reaction for the past six
years. The increase in production
and the decline in value was conllned
to the output of bituminous coal.
The anthracite production in Penn
sylvania decreased nearly two and a
quarter million tons, from 18.."i23,2S7
long tons in 1800 to 10,537,80 1 long
tons in 1807, while the average price
received at the mines was $l.Sr per
long ton in both years. This is not
an increase, hut it is much bettor
than a loss, one cent, per ton niean
inga total of more than half a million
of dollars.
The faqttliUv-TJi'e bituminous pro
,drction should havo shown an Sn
creaso of 8,3(10,(100 tons in spite of the
prolonged strike in the competitive
Holds of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Indiana and Illinois (four
of them being the largest coal-producing
states.aggregating nearly 100,
000,000 tons or more than two-thirds
of the entire output) may bo taken
as an evidence of the wonderful capa
city of our developed bituminous
mines.
Of the 20 bituminous coal-produc-ing
states there were only six in
which the production in 1807 was less
than in the preceding year. These
six were Georgia, Indian Territory,
Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio and Oregon.
In fifteen of them fie output was the
largest ever obtained. Of tho live
competitive states previously men
tioned, only ono (Ohio) had a de
creased production in 18117. In 20 out
of the 29 states producing bituminous
coal the average prico per ton in 1807
was less than it was in 18U0, the
general average for the United
States being 83 cents in 1800, and 81. (1
cents in 1897. The decline of 1.1 cents
on a total product in 1897 of 110,000,
000 tons represents a decrease of
something over 2,000,000 from what
would have been the value if the
price had been the same as it was in
1800.
Considering tho industry by btates,
Pennsylvania holds her usual posi
tion. The combined product of an
thracite and bituminous coals from
the Koystone state amounted to 100,-
000,000 short tons, nearly 54 per cent.
of the total output. Pennsylvania's
percentage of the total bituminous
output was .'17, hor output of soft
coal being 51,000,000 tons.
Illinois remains in second place
with a total of a little over 20,000,000
short tons. Wes.t Virginia comes
third, having increased her output
nearly 700,000 tons over 1800, and
loading Ohio, which comes fourth, by
nearly 1,250,00(1 tons. Alabama
reached her maximum output of
0,81)3,770 tons and standH llfth. Iowa
sixth, lacked only 85,000 tons of
reaching 5,000,000 tons. Maryland
produced 1,142,000 tons, and Indiana
a little over 4,000,000 tons. Eleven
other states produced from one mil
lion to three million tons each, while
ten others report an output of less
than a million tons each.
Tho foregoing statement is based
upon actual returns from minus rep
resenting 95 per cent, of the total
nroduct. Iu cases where returns
have not been received, careful esti

shots were exchanged with tho hat-
terlos on Corregldor Island, hut the
Ilect did not slow down, and soon took
up n position near Cavlte, nwnltlng
dawn In order to commence hostili
ties. Tho early hours of the morning re
vealed tho opposing ships to each
other, and the Spanish flagship opened
lire. Her action was followed by some
ot the larger Spanish warships, and
then the Cnvlto forts opened up and
tho smaller Spanish vessels brought
their guns into play.
Tho American squadron, which had
))cen eil lnto tho uny mut through the
channel uy tno lingsnip uiympia, did
not reply, though the shells of tho
Spaniards began to strlko tho water
around them, but moved majestically
onward. When Hearing linker bay a
Biulden upheaval of water a short dis
tance ahead of tho Olympla showed
that tho Spaniards had exploded a
mlno or a torpedo. This was followed
by a second and similar explosion.
They were both utterly unsuccessful.
Tho American licet was then drawing
nearer and nearer to tho Spaniards,
whoso gunnery was very poor, the
shots from the Cavlte batteries and
from the Spanish ships being equally
badly aimed, either falling short or go
ing wido of tho mark.
When tho American licet entered the
bay, coming through the southern
channel between Caballo and Frlle Isl
ets, the following was their order:
Tho flagship Olympla, tho Baltimore,
tho Raleigh, Concord, Boston, Petrel
nnd McCulloch, with two storeshlps,
tho Nanshan and Zaflro, bringing uc
tho rear. And In that order they fr.J'ept
grandly before the city and faced tho
oncmy in column line;
Dewey lie-erved His Klro.
Though tho Spaniards had opened
flro at 0,000 yards, tho Americans re
served their fire until within 4,000
yards of tho enemy, when tho real
battlo began.
Tho Ilelna Christina, Cnstilla, Don
Antonio Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, Isla de
Luzon and tho Mindanao wero In lino
of bnttlo outsldo of Cavlte at that time,
with four gunboats nnd tho torpedo
boats insldo tho hnrbor.
Tho American ships then passed back
wards and forwards six times across
the front of tho Spaniards, pouring In
upon tho latter a perfect hull of Bhot
and shell. Every American shot seem
ed to tell, while almost every Spanish
shot missed tho mark
After having thus scattered death
nnd demoralization among the Spanish
fleet and the Spanish batteries, tho
American fleet retired for breakfast,
and incidentally a council of war was
held on board the Olympla
By this time tho Spanish ships wero
In a desperato condition. The flagship
Helna Christina was riddled with shot
and shell, ono of her steam pipes had

fire. Tho Castllla was certainly on
flro, and soon afterward their condition
beenmo worse nnd worse, until they
wero eventually burned to the water's
edge.
Tho Don Antonio de Ulloa made a

bravery. When her commander found

though their vessels were sinking be
neath them, continued working tho
guns on her lower deck until sho sank
beneath tho waters.
Torpedo Jtoat Shot to IMeccs,
During tho engagement a Spanish
torpedo boat crept along tho shoro and
round tho ofllng In an attempt to at
tack tho American Bhlps, hut sho was
promptly discovered, was driven ashore
and wns actually shot to pieces.

SAMPSON'S FLEET
May Battle With a Formidable Spanish
Fleet at Port Au Prince
Tomorrow.
Port nu Prince, Haytl, May 9. The
arrival was rumored late last evening
of 17 Spanish vessels, warships anil
others, at Porto Hlco, and a battle Is
expected tomorrow. It Is also reported
from Cape Haytlen that Bear Admiral
Sampson's, wyjadron has been sighted
to the north.
The United States cruiser Montgom
ery, Commander G. A. Converse, Is
supposed to have been engaged with a
much larger Spanish cruiser Saturday
night northwest ot Cape Haytlen, a
seaport town of Hityti, on its north,
90 miles north nf Port nu Prince.
The French steamer Ollnde Itod
dilgues arrived yesterday morning
from Cape Haytlen. The Montgomery
left Cape Haytlen soon after the Ilod-
drlgues, and a Spanish vessel, which Is
presumed to have been watching hor,
Is said to have pursued the American
cruiser, both of them nutting on full
steam. The Spaniard, according to the
story told bv the crew of the French
steamer, gained on the pursuit.
The two warships, they say, went In
the same direction, with the Spaniard
behind. The latter appeared to be a
formidable vessel, and much larger and
faster than the Montgomery.
By nlchtfull, it Is added, four dls
charges of cannon were heard, which
were believed to be the result of tho
Spaniard firing upon the American
warship. Darkness, It Is further said,
prevented any further observations be
ing made, though tho French officers
say the moon was so bright that the
battle could have been continued.
Strange to say. It appears that all
the passengers of the Ollnde Itod
drlgues were below at supper while
this exciting incident was occurring,
but the officers of the steamer, which
arrived here yesterday, say they are
confident the Montgomery was over
matched, jind that her only means of
escaping was to run close In shore dur
ing the darkness.
The vessel which pursued the Mont
gomery Is supposed to have been tin
Spanish warship Vlzeayn, and It Is
suggested that possibly the Montgom
ery enticed the Spaniard within strlk
lng distance of Admiral Sampson. Tho
crew of the German ship Bolivia, which
arrived yesterday, say they heard can
nonading tp the northward about
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The governor of San Juan de Porto
Itlco recently received orders from
Madrid to provide rations for 40,000
troops? He asked the time of their ar
rival, and got the reply: "Movements
of the Spanish fleet are kept strictly
secret. Your auostlon cannot bo an
Bwered. Be prepared."

Admiral Dewey's plan that caused hltn

ment when the Spaniards were half ',
asleep. i

Although nn acting admiral, there- I
fore, Admiral Dewey will not draw the

will get out of his act for the present, j
at least, will be the rank and title.

duced n resolution of thanks to Com-
modore Dewey, and also a bill creating ,
nn additional rear admiral. The bill
