dents OF the city caused the report TO
be spread this morning that Balmaceda
was in hiding aboard the flagship San

hard feeling against the Americans
here. The report was, OF course, With

to waste any time in moving against
Santiago. Almost Immediately after
the victory Yesterday force OF men
was put TO work repairing the railroad
where it had been torn up, AID orders
were given for the concentration oil roll

men wete sent to Vind del Mar TO be IN
readiness to embark on the cars and
start for Santiago ut the earliest possi-
bic moment. They were under the
command Of General Baquedano.
Now that fuller details Of the fighting
Of yesterday are at hand, it appears that
the jealousy and pickering OF Balma-
Ceda's generals was largely responsible
for the overwhelming defeat. They
had no concerto d plan Of action and the
battle was fought on their side with ab-
solutely no regard for tactical adv9n-
tages. Their men were brave enough,
but they were, it is now pretty certain,
simply sacrificed. The total number OF
killed on the Government side is now
given as 700 men, and OF the opposition
200. 1t Is impossible to learn the num-
ber of wounded.

JOHN SHERMAN SPEAKS.
An Interesting Letter on the Free Coin.
age Of Silver From Ohio's Senator.

An Interesting Letter on the Free Coin
age of Silver From Ohio's Senator.
Special Dispatch, July9.
In letter on the free coinage of silver received
here, Senator John Sherman SAYS: / can appre-
ciate the earnest demand of the producers OF
silver bullion that the United States should pay
sl.29 an ounce for silver bullion, which in the
markets of the world has been Tor series of
years worth only about 81 an ounce, sometimes
little more, sometimes a little less. But can
not appreciate why any farmer or other producer
should desire that the government should pay
for any article more than its market value.
The distinction sought to be made in favor of
silver is without just foundation. The gov
eminent now buys in the open market more
than the entire domestic production OF silver
bullion because it needs IL for coinage and as
the basis of tr easury notes. gladly contributed
my full share to this measure and would do
anything in my power to advance the market
value of silver to its legal ratio to gold but this
can only be done in concert with other CONNER
cal nations. The attempt to do il by the
United States alone would only demonstrate our
weakness To the extent that the enormous de-
mand made by the existing law advances the
price of silver the producer receives the benefit,
and today the production of silver is probably
the most profitable industry in the United
States. To ask more seems to me unreasonable,
and if yielded will bring all our money to the
single silver standard alone. demonetize gold
and detaeh the United States from the standard
OF the great commercial nations of the world.
The unreasonable demand for the free
coinage of silver has nothing to do with
the reasonable demand Tor the increase
of the volume of money required by the
increase of business and population of the
United States. We have provided Dy existing
law for the increase of money to an amount
greater than the increase OF business and popu-
lation, but even if more money is required there
are many ways OF providing it without cheaper
ing the purchasing power OF our money or max
ing a wide difference between the kinds of
money in circulation based on silver and gold.
Our money and our credit are now equal TO, or
better, than those of the most civilized nations
of the world. Our productions of every kind
are increasing, and it seems to me almost a wild
lunacy for US to disturb this happy condition by
changing the standard of all contracts, inducing
special contracts payable in gold, and again pay
ing gold to the capitalists, and silver at an ex-
aggerated price, to the farmer, laborer and pen
soner, and would not be true to my conviction
OF what is best for the good of my constituents
If l did not frankly and firmly stand by my
opinions, whatever may be the effect upon me
personally.

with all perennials, the stalk dies down to the

Slaughter News.

SLAUGHTER, July Especial THE most i'm
portant work to be done in the valley is the con-
stIuction of the electric motor line from Seattle
to Stuck Junction. Of course that will not be
its terminal point. but in all probability will
form connection with line intended to be built
from Tacoma northward. When this road is
built it will be used as cheap route to either
Tacoma or Seattle, and will logically have the
effect of reducing the rates the Northern
Pacific.
The new brick hotel near the depot has been
leased to Tacoma man, who will open it out
the first of next month in first-class style This
will be good to the better class of our trav-
cling community, who have clamored inces-
sanity for good hotel in Slaughter.

How to Make Potash From Wood Ashes.

As reply TO communication from Carl r.
Kellgren, of shelton, published in the PosT-
INTELLIGENcER of July Z, inquiring for method
OF making potash from wood ashes, the follow
ing has been sent to the PosT-INTELLIGENCER by
6 subscriber:
Potash is made as follows: Place wood ashes
In barrels, with holes bored in the bottom. Place
the barrels on platform and at such an angle
that the alkaline salt or I've will drain off into
receptacle of some convenient design. Water is
poured over the ashes, and liquid ak ali is run
of. This I've must be boiled till the water is
evaporated, and a black salt is the result. This
salt is then heated to a high degree, becomes
fused, and, when cool, assumes the character of
potash.
