ARBITRATION
"A New Treaty With England Already
Drafted

WASHINGTON, June 19--President
Mckinley has determined to revive the
general treaty of arbitration between
the United States and Great Britain.
He has already turned his attention 10
the subject, and under the direction of
Secretary Sherman the matter has pro-
gressed TO the extent that new treaty
has already been drafted to serve as the
basis of negotiations. In the draft
which is to be used as the basis of ne
gotiations there are said to be none of
the Objectionable points which caused
the failure of the Olney treaty. 1t isnot
in contemplation that the treaty will be
submitted to the senate before next De-
cember and there is reason to believe
that the attitude of the senate towards
q new treaty will be fully canvasseG and
understood before the treaty is signed.
1t is understood that the initiative in
the present case will be taken by the
government as the failure of the former
treaty by the inaction of the senate left
the subject in such condition that the
British government did not feel disposed
by the United States
Sir Julian Pauncefote leaves WASH
ington next Tuesday for Great Britain.
1t was understood at first that the am
bassador would take a copy of the new
treaty with him, but this will not be
done. 1t is expected, however, that q
draft will be in London at no distant
day, in which case Sir Julian will he n,

NO MOTIVE is FOUND
FOR THE MURDER OF MER-
CHANT HOFFMAN
Bookkeeper Figal Will Be Asked to
Make a Statement Before the
Coroner's Jury

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19-The evil
dence so far introduced at the Hoffman
inquest has apparently established be-
yond reasonable question that fact that
Isaac Hoffman was murdered, but by
whom or from what motive there is
show. When the inquest was resumed
this morning Chief of Police Lees read
another of the four statements made by
Bookkeeper Figel on the day after the
tragedy. 1t was to the effect that Figel
returned to the office on the evening o.
June 1st at 6:15 o'clock, for the purpose
Of getting a sample bottle of a certain
kind Of ink. He met Hoffman at the
front door of the office. and after enter
ing together and talking for few min
utes left without the ink and hurried to
the boat. When asked whether or not
Figel made any further statements Chief
Lees replied that he had, but positively
refused to read or produce them until
Figel had told his own story on the
stand. The witness was temporarily
excused.
Several unimportant witnesses were
examined upon various points touching
the relations existing between Hoffman
and his mother-in-la and that lady,
Mrs. Alexander, was called. She stated
that she had not seen her son-in-law for
the past fifteen months, nor had they
spoken during that time. This was due
to disagreement as to the firms funds
She had withdrawn her money against
Hoffmans wishes. but the matter had
been satisfactorily settled.
Isaac Gellert, assistant bookkeeper
for the firm of Hoffman, Rothschild &
Co., testified that on May 1st Figel turn
ed the cash over to him, -at which time
he believed the accounts straight. Figel
owed him $1,000 borrowed money, but
that was personal matter. The witness
explained the system of bookkeeping
used in the office, and stated that when
Figel told him that he had given Hoff-
man sums amounting to $4,000, had de-
manded receipt which Figel subse-
quently produced When the inquest
adjourned Coroner Hawkins announced
his intention of calling Figel as the first
witness Monday morning.

EDITORS COMMENT
HAVANA, June 19.-La Lucha, in a
leading editorial, strongly condemns the
attacks Of the organ of the Spanish ad-
miralty on Consul l-General Lee, which,
is says, are indiscreet, adding that such
attacks made at a time when the gov
ernment at Washington contemplates
removing the consul-general may In
duce the American government to retain
him in his position. The authorities at
Washington might remove General Lee
of their own accord. but would not do so
because of pressure brought to bear by
the Spanish press.
La Lucha further says the American
government has already placed their
full value upon Gen. Lees services,
which fact is shown by the expression
of opinion by persons of high positions
at Washington in favor of the consul
generals removal, and that President
Mckinley will name, as did President
Cleveland, a person for the post who is
in his confidence.
SPANISH COURAGE
NEW YORK, June 20.-A dispatch
from Madrid TO the Herald says: Pre-
mier Canovas declared yesterday that
in the event of conflict between the
United States and Spain, the latter
country was capable of rising to the
emergency.
NH' 'oouioio eAPecteu arrival
awakens considerable speculation since
it is known here that from the date of
his confirmation he is allowed thirty
days to receive instructions and thirty
days for the journey to Madrid
Her majesty makes it an inyariable
rule that foreign ministers shall neither
take leave ror be presented at San
Sebastian, since facilities are wanting
for the requisite ceremonial and the
royal family wishes complete retire
ment. &c. normally Mr. Woodford can
not present his credentials until October
1st, when the court returns to Madrid
If the usual course is followed of hasten
ing Woodford here, or of pressing for
reception ahead of time, Spain will re-
gard it as an effort to precipitate events.

LATIN COUNTRIES
Plan to Establish a Uniform Currency
System

NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says: One of
the plans Of the Greater Republic of
Central America, now made complete
by the entrance of Custa Rica and Guat-
emala, Is for a general currency for use
in all Of the five countries of the re-
public. The republic. as has been
stated, was formed for offensive and
defensive purposes and will treat with
foreign countries on that basis. The
diet will be the highest legislative body
and will be composed of two delegates
from each Of the republics. The Presi-
dents of the republics will preside over
the diet. alternating each year. The
President of Costa Rica will be the first
President Of the diet, taking office on
September 25th. Guatemala has al
ready approved the general confedera-
ton, but there will probably be a pro-
test from Salvador owing to an ill-feel-
ing against Guatemala. Great enthus-
iasm reigns.
