President Diaz Hopes Mexico Will En-
joy the Blessings of Peace.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 26.--President Diaz
and Foreign Minister Marical had a long
conference to-day over the Guatemalan mat
tiers. The reply of Guatemala to the de-
mand of Mexico. received yesterday at the
National Palace, was read and considered
in many of its bearings. Another confer
ence will probably be held next Monday
at which the entire cabinet will doubt
less be asked to be present When inter-
viewed neither President Diaz nor the
minister would give any information. As
to the various reports published by the
press on the Presidents recent speech to
students, President Diaz dictated the fol-
lowing to reporter:
The government appreciates this manly
manifestation, 1T being one of the results
of the vehement and exact phases in which

not yet on the verge of war because honor
good faith and logic constitute the pro-
gramme of the government, and because it

UNITED STATES LEADS.
More Gold Mined I'm This Country Last
Year Than in Any Other.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The Engineering
and Mining Journal says: We have col
lected the statistics Of output for the year
in sufficient detail to be able to say that
the United States still holds the first rank
among the gold producers, with an output
OF nearly s4l 100000. as compared with $685.
960, 900 in 1893, an advance of about $5,O00,
coo, orr14 per cent The chief gain has been
in Colorado where the Cripple Creek dis
trict has doubled its output and Leadville
has also added an important contribution.
California also shows increase in
amount though less in proportion than Col
orado. To this statement we have added
below some notes of the gold output of
other countries from ADVANCE reports re-
ceived The gold output of the Will
watersrand district in Transvaal for De-
cember is reported as exceeding by 5,s97
previously the highest on record. This
makes the total production of the Will
watersrand mines for 3. the year "a, 2,oA 15s
478.373 ounces for 1893, 1896 ounces for
1892, 29,225 ounces for 1891 and 494S69 ounces
for $780, At the usual value of Wilwaters-
rand gold, 800 fine. this would make the
output equivalent to 1,618,330 fine ounces of
gold and its value So, III SOL For the other
districts Of the Transvaal December
turns have not been received but esti-
mating the amounts for December at the
ber,. their product for the, year would be
1890 ounces, equivalent to 1920 fine ounces
of gold. This would make the total pro-
ductions of the Transvaal for 1894 1851, $50
fine ounces, with value of $33, III, $40.
While showing a large increase over 1898,
this is not sufficient to put South Africa in
the first rank as a gold producer. some
of it's ardent friends predicted Its output
for 1894 is about s8,0O0,O00 below that Of the
United States, and also below that of Aus
tralia, 50 that it will still hold the third
rank. The total value of the gold exported
from western Australia in 1894 is reported
by telegraph al f7S7 100 ($3 395, 000); the guam
tity is not given. In 1893 the gold exported
was 1881 ounces valued at f421, 183, SO that

BATTLE OF HAI-CHENG.
Twenty Thousand Chinese Repulsed
by General Modulus Army.


by General Nodxu's Army.
YOKOHAMA, Jan. ga dispatch re-
ceived here from General Nodzu gives de-
tails of the fighting which occurred be-
tween Japanese and Chinese troops at Hal
Cheng. He says that the Japanese waited
until the Chinese were within six hundred
yards of their position, and then large
portion of the Fifth brigade, with bat
talon of the Nineteenth Infantry, support
ed by three batteries of artillery, charged
the Chinese left flank. The enemy, taken by
surprise, fed in confusion toward the north
east and New Chwang. The Chinese pris-
oners who were captured state that the
Chinese attack was conducted by Generals
Chang Sung and Iku Tang. The Chinese
numbered 5000 men.
ceived here from Yung Cheng Ken, state
that second batch of Japanese transports
completed the landing Of the troops by
noon on Jan e. The enemy made but liz
tie resistance. These dispatches add that
during the afternoon of Jan. q heavy firing
and the Japanese outposts reported that
the flashing of electric lights could be seen
in the same direction.
A dispatch received at the japanese
headquarters in Hiroshima, from Admiral
Ito announces that the Chinese war ships
are still lying in the harbor of Wei-Hai-
Wei and he adds that the Chinese forts and
torpedo boats opened fire on the Japanese
fleet on Monday last, Jan. q, but without
effect. The firing mentioned in the dis
patch from Yung Cheng Ken was undoubt-
eddy the ineffective cannonade announced
by Admiral Ito, and the electric lights
which the japanese outposts saw in the di-
rection of Wei-Hai-Wei must have been
those of the Chinese ships and forts
which were turned upon the Japanese fleet.
General Nodzu reports that 5000 Chinese
troops, commanded by Generals Sung and
Chang, are in the vicinity of Wing Kow.
The General adds that General Hsu has oc-
ccupied New Chwang. He also reports that
the Chinese yesterday renewed the attack
upon Hai-Cheng, and were repulsed after a
short engagement.
