IVES KEPT FAITH
President OF he Northern Pacific
Admits Allegations in Fore
closure Complaint.
Now No Opposition to the Reor-
ganization Except From
Stockholders.
Stated That Ives Made Excellent
Terms With the ReOrgani-
ZatiOn Committee.

MILWAUKEE. april 2l.-Whatever
intention Of Brayton Ives to keep faith
with the reorgani zation committees of
the Northern Pacific were dispelled
when answer was fled to the suit of
the Farmers Loan and Trust company,
the foreclosure proceeding in the United
States court, by Ives, admitting all Of
the allegations of the complaint.
The answer that was filed has the
distinction of being the briefest docu-
ment that has been recorded i'll the pro-
ceedings.
The filing of the answer and its
nature, however, does not protray a
defeat of Ives, but means a victory, the
terms of which no one will tell. it
develops that the committees We're
obliged to make terms with Ives and
that the magnate took every precaution
to see that they were carried out. To
this end two answers were drawn,
each of an entirely different nature,
and both were ready for filing in the
court at moments notice, and neither
to be filed until permission was given.
From the nature of the answer filed,
there is no doubt that the terms were
complied with. The second answer, it
is understood contained a refutation of
all of the allegations which are now
admitted, supplemented with some
charges that might make racy rea ling,
and exceedingly sensational
stOckhol 'ers Likely to he Heard.
All of the parties that have come
into court are now on record as agree
ing to the reorganizat on by accepting
the decree of oreclosure asked for.
There is apparently now no opposition
to the reorganization plan, but it is
learned that the etfcrt cen,ered in Phil
adelphia in the interests of the stock.
holders, has assumed such proportions
as to make further concessions and
moderations i'll the plan. If this can
not be accomplished, it is stated, the
movement IS likely to be heard in the
court. 1t is asserted that unless the
notifications are made. a suit will
be instituted to protect the preferred
stockholders trust bonds, which are
held by the Farmers Loan and Trust

RETURNING TO FREE TRADE.

Income and Land Tax to BE Substituted
For Tariff In New South Wales.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-New South
Wales is now returning to a free trade
basis, as the result Of at least two en-
phatic and unmistakable demands by
the people in the past l3 months.
United States Vice Commercial
Agent keightley at Newcastle, makes
reference to the subject in report to
the state department on the state of the
province. He says the new government
headed by Mr.. George H. Reid, which
went into Office on that issue, is re-
deeming the election pledges, and is
vigorously carrying out free trade
policy. The protective duties have al
ready partially. and will soon be en-
tirely abolished.
Income and Land Tax.
To make up the revenue thus lost
there have been levied an income tax,
with exemption below $973 90, and q
land tax with an exemption below ST..
1853, and these have been received with
disfavor by persons affected, but the
bulk of the population demanded them
at the polls and the friction is expected
to soon disappear. Meanwhile. the
agent says, the government holds out
the consolation that even i'll the case Of
a person in receipt of large income or
possessing extensive land estates, the
amount levied for income or land will
be almost if not quite returned by the
removal of the taxation through the
custom houses upon necessaries of life
and goods If every day consumption.

Acknowledged That If He Does
Weyler Must Admit His
Failure.
Execution of Prisoners by Span

on Hand.

New YORK, April 2l-A dispatch
to The World from Havana says: If
General Maceo succeeds in crossing the
IS mile barrier i'll spite Of the $4,000
Spanish regulars pressing him on all
sides, General Weyler must confess, as
General Campos did, that the cam.
paign is failure and that Spain can
not end this war by her own unaided
forces. The rebel general has sent
word to his friends in Havana, that he
will break through the trocha when he
is ready and that at the first showers of
rainfall the captain general plans will
turn to dust. 1t is certain that Gen.
eral Maceo has some sure means of
suddenly assembling his rowing bands
on this side of the trocha; some say by
means of colored paper balloons, and
others by messages.
Would Then Welcome Mediation.
There is growing belief here that
If General Weyler is out -maneuvred
now, Spain will presently welcome the
friendly mediation of the United
States Even the Spaniards share this
feeling
Prisoners of war are condemned to
death as incendiaries without proof of
actual guilt. Evidence that rebel
soldier belonged to column Of the
enemy which burned property is suffi-
cient to insure his death. A prisoners s
conviction depends Oh whether he
joined the offending band before or
after the iDcendiarism occurred.
1t is said that nearly 100 prisoners
will be shot as incendiaries within a
few days.
