CASTILLO FOR PEACE.
Ine Spanish Premier VIII Hearken
TO h United States.

TO the United States.
London, May 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Standard says:
Senior Canovas del Castillo has pub
licly stated that America has not pro-
tested against SPANS right to punish
filibusters. but only against their sum-
mary trial. American citizens are en-
titled to be tried in the civil courts under
the treaties of 1895 and 1877. The Span
ish government is willing to consider
the demand and has cabled Captain
General Weyler to delay the executions
pending the result of negotiations
which are actively proceeding between
Washington and Madrid to define the
Interpretation of the aforesaid treaties.
The lCpoca government organ), in
guarded language. recommends pru-
dence and deprecates demonstrations
1t clearly intimates that the govern
ment will make another effort to con-
clliate President Cleveland by ordering
General Weyler to send all the apers
bearing upon the case here for the SUI
preme u to pronounce upon. The
execution of the sentences would thus
be virtually shelved.
The rest of The Madrid press are
unanimous in the opinion that Ameri-
ca has taken an ungenerous and unjus-
tihable advantage of Spain's difficulties.

New York is the worst city in the

LECTURE goes best in towns of from

t:oing people do not attend lectures, and
vice versa, so that the method of adver-
Using for theatrical attractions does not
work in the case of lectures. New Eng

Twenty-Five Hundred Miners Flock

San Francisco, May 11.-United States
Marshal l.. K. Williams of Sitka, Alas
ka. is in the city. In speaking about the
Alaska mining excitement he said: II
think it no exaggeration to say that
fully $500 miners have nocked into Alas
IA this season. This influx of people
has materially increased the white pop
ulation. l believe the latter has dou-
bled during the past two years. Favor
able reports are being made about the
gold country around Cooks inlet and
some large finds of the precious metal
are rumored. The Yukon country main
tains its high reputation for yields Of
gold in the placer mines. Last season
fully 81. 200, 900 in gold dust and nuggets
was taken out. There is every prospect
of much larger returns for this season.
AS many as 500 miners wintered in the
Yukon district during the past winter.
They tunneled under the frozen surface
Of the ground n brought out tons OF
rich gravel. They are now engaged in
