Speculation is rife in regard to the
result of the disagreement between Bout
we'll and Pleasonton. While it is gen.

has been favorably mentioned in that con-
neotion, and that the President will soon

The Southern Claims Commission has

tant points.

loan has been withdrawn from the marke

is about being consummated looking to tn

Fathomer came direct from Baltimore,
and is under orders TO report at Plata,

at WASHINGTON, when he started on inns
