PUBLIC FUNDS.
An Official Statement from the
President.
The Administration Proposes to Maintaip
the Public Credit on a Gold Basis
The Inroads on the Permanent
Reserve Made Good.
Statement from the President.

Statement from the President.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-President
Cleveland says: The inclination on
the part of the public to accept news
paper reports concerning the intentions
of those charged with the management
of our national finances seems to justify
my emphatic contradiction of the
statement that the redemption of
any kind of treasury notes, eX-
cept in gold, has at any time been
determined upon or contemplated by
the secretary of the treasury or any
other member of the present admins
tration. The president and his cabinet
are absolutely harmonious in the de-
termination to exercise every power
conferred upon them to maintain the
public credit. to keep the public faith
and to preserve the parity between
gold and silver and between all finan-
cial obligations of the government.
while the law of 1890 for forcing
the purchase of fixed amount of silver
every month provides that the secretary
in his discretion may redeem in either
gold or silver the treasury notes given
in payment of silver purchases, yet the
declaration of the policy Of the govern
ment to maintain the parity between
the two metals seems so clearly to reg
ulate this discretion as to dictate their
redemption in gold,
"Of course perplexity and difficulties
have grown out of the unfortunate fnan-
cial policy which was found in vogue
and embarrassments have arisen from
ill-advised financial legislation con-
fronting us at every turn; but with
cheerful confidence among the people
and a patriotic disposition to cooper
ate, threatened dangers will be averted
pending legislative return to better
and sounder financial plan.
THE strong credit of the country is
still unimpaired, and the good sense of
our people, which has never failed in
time of need, is at hand to save us from
disaster

SALIVA, Kan, April 22.-Maddened
by the recent outrage upon Mrs. J. VI.

scenes attendant upon the repeated at

1Wenty-One Men Perish in the Water.
works Crib at Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, April 21.-The house
over the waterworks crib was swept
away yesterday and twenty-five
men at work there were rendered help
less. Five or six men could be seen
clinging to the machinery and timbers
with fierce waves sweeping over them
Five of the life-saving crew refused to
obey orders to go out in the lifeboat
and the tug Starke left the harbor
about $3.50 o'clock. but was forced to
return as the sea broke in her pilot
house windows.
Later the tug Welcome ventured out
with the life-savers and succeeded in
reaching the crib. They found one
man, whom they rescued. He will
probably die from exposure and ex-
haustion. He was so exhausted when
taken on board the tug that he was I'M
unable to speak, but recovered suffi-
GENTLY before being taken to the
hospital to be able to tell those
about him that his companions were all
in the air chamber below the crib. 1t
is believed they are all suffocated.
At $50 o'clock in the morning huge
waves began dashing to the top of the
crib house and soon they swept away
the frail building and its contents. The
men at the crib had all gone into the
air chamber and none were swept away.
All morning the waves were fifteen
feet high and dashed over the crib, and
all that could be seen of it was two
posts and the pumps, two large boilers,
the engine, the air compressor plant
and 10000 brick having been washed
off. Shortly after o'clock a man was
seen clinging to the fragment of the
pump. Then the work of rescue was
begun. That man was the only one
saved.
All this time the huge waves beat
over the huge government breakwater
ceaseleSsly and destroyed about fifty
feet of the superstructure of the north
ern arm. The shore line from Wiscon-
sin street north to the flushing tunnel
pumping works was strewn with this
breakwater wreckage, causing an inn
preston that some lumber carrying
craft had been lost outside with all
hands.

They Attack a Band OF Alleged Navajo
Thieves and Get Beaten.
GREEN RIVER, U. T., April 24.-Re-
ports have come in from Dandy cross
ing, on the Colorado river, of a serious
scrimmage between Bluff City cowmen
and band of thirty Navajos. These
renegades from time to time raided the
Elk Mesa COW outfits TO obtain supplies
of beef
One of these parties came across the
San Juan last Monday and commenced
the usual depredations. Word reached
Knowles & Co.'S outfit and several of
their cowboys started north to round
up the Navajos.
The job proved too big for them and
two of their number were shot. Kid
johnson, the cowboy leader, was shot
through the body, and may die. The
Indians got off apparently unhurt and
retreated across the San Juan river,
taking with them a herd of cattle
This is only one of number of depre-
dations committed by the Indians, and
more trouble is expected.
About one week previous a shooting
scrape occurred between a freighter
named Cornell and some Indians on
Dirty Devil creek, in which two of the
Indians were killed and Cornell badly
wounded. The trouble arose over a
trade of some kind. There is consider.
able bad feeling between the Indians
and the whites who are going into the
country.

RECIPROCITY ENDANGERED.
Complaints That Spain and Brazil Fail to
Observe the Requirements.

Observe the Requirements.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The investi-
cation into the working of the several
reciprocity trade arrangements entered
into by the United States with Central
and South America countries and with
Spain for Cuba and Porto Rico, under
the Mckinley act, which Secretary
Gresham instituted Immediately upon
assuming the duties of his Office,
it is reported. has led to a de-
termination by President Cleve-
land to terminate the arrange
ments with Brazil and with Spain and
Cuba and Porto Rico. Inquiry at the
state department develops the fact that
the arrangements have not yet been
terminated. 1t cannot be ascertained
if this action is part of a policy of the
administration to abandon reciprocity.
On the contrary, the result of inquiries
goes to prove that if any such action
has been, or will be taken with regard
to Brazil and Spain. it will be due to
special local causes.
Complaints are said to have been re-
ceived from persons doing business with
Cuba and Poto Rico that the local Off
Gals in those islands do not observe the
requirements of the reciprocal arrange
ment, insisting upon the collection of
a practically prohibitions duty upon
articles entitled to admission free
of duty under the terms of the
convention. Some complaint is also
made of Brazil in this direction, but
not nearly to so great an extent as with
regard to the islands. The treaty with
Brazil is susceptible to termination on
three months notice by either party;
that with Spain is to remain in force sc
long as it shall not be modified by the
mutual agreement of the executive
power of the two countries.
