WARS IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Uruguay Lands Troops in Argentina
and Sinks "A Vessel.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Herald's
Buenos Ayres correspondent says: The gov
eminent of Argentina has been officially in
formed that the gunboat Suarez of the
Uruguayan navy yesterday landed a force
of Uruguayan troops on the Argentine coast.
After the troops had been landed the Suar-
ez sunk a vessel flying the flag of Argen-
tina. Immediately upon receipt of this in
formation an Argentine gunboat was or
dered to proceed to the point where the
troops were landed and capture the Suarez,
if there, and if not. to pursue and take the
vessel at all hazards if she was still in Ar
gentine waters. Argentina has issued emer-
gency orders to her army and navy, and
there is great activity in those departments.
Every preparation is being made for war.
The correspondent in Montevi6eo Uru-
quay. informs me that the rebels are con-
centrating their forces, and a decisive bat
tie with government troops is imminent.
and Argentina arose during the last part
of 1896. 1t the result of hhbustering
expeditions from Argentina bearing arms
ammunition and stores TO the Ofuguayan
rebels. Since the revolution in Uruguay be-
gan there has been much sympathy in Ar
gentina for the rebels, and this sympathy
found a substantial form in the shape of
arms and ammunition for them. The feel
ing gradually grew, until in December
Argentina. and threats were made against
the government of Uruguay. What are
known as the white and red parties took
prominent part in fostering TINS feeling
against Uruguay and finally the matter
became so serious that Uruguay made
protest to Argentina In spite of this how
ever the flibustering continued, and the
result has been strained relations between
the two countries This, it is probable,
finally led to Uruguay taking the decisive
step of landing her troops on Argentine

TO MEET GOLD IMPORTS.
cannr That the Treasury Will Issue
Gold Certificates.

New York, Sept 80 There has
been soma talk in banking circles of
the possibility OF the Treasury de
partment issuing gold certificates,
now that gold is piling up in the
vaults ana currency is decrea sing.
This di-clssion is chiefly due TO a
dispatch received in Walt Street 20
the effect that recently there hean
soma informal discussion amorg the
treasury iii oa's OF the subject of
the desirtbllty of this course. Con
tinuing. the dispatch says that Sec
retary Gage IS confronted by de
cision made bY Secretary Carlisle,
when the treasury gold fell below
100000, 600. that the reserve hav
ing once fallen below the amount
meatioued. gold certificates could
not be issued again, even if the re-
serve wen. above sl00,O00,000 un.
less the issue was specifically auth
orized bg Congress. President
Cannon of the Chase National bank
saw nothing thai made the issue of
gold certificates n eedful. but thought
that the issuance of such certificates
was entirely within the province of
Secretary Gage. Vice President
Hepburn of the National City bank
said:
Il believe that legally the issuance
of gold certificates is entirely within
the option of Secretsry Gage There
is no question that the treasury
needs currency. II the present con

there are sure to be. i, will not be

meeting, all agreed TO join together in the
Philomathic hall, and have a mock trial
of one of the boys. The judge jury, wit

the defendant guilty and sentenced him to
a term in Coalburg. This was somewhat
out of the ordinary for the regular meet

sessions in the Howard chapel, was en-

discussion of the famous Whitsitt ques-
