deposit Of gold in this nation.
A private letter from Washing

that the discoverer offered to
disclose the place of the rich
deposit for a certain sum of
money. to be paid in cash be-
fore the place was located. 1t
is doubtful if a gold mine exists
in this territory, and it is still
more doubtful If any one could
be- found who would buy a gold
or any other mine in this coun-
try, for the reason that no title
could be obtained.

OUR TERMS OF PEACE.

Washington, July Spain
is beginning her prospective
negotiations for peace. Two
weeks ago her friends cast out
hints of the desirability of ces-
sation of hostilities. Two hints
were repeated to-day with slight
" more emphasis. Prompt reply
was made that the United States,
provided Spain made her over
lures at once, would accept
peace on these conditions:
/. The prompt evacuation of
Cuba by the Spanish army, so
that the Cubans may have the
opportunity of establishing a
stable government.
2. The permanent possession
of Porto Rico by the United
States.
3. A coaling station in the
Canary Islands.
4. The indefinite retention of
the Philippines to insure the
payment of the indemnity the
United States will decide upon.

which the queen regent is pre-

1t is said that upon the deci-

ambassadors and Senior Del
Rio held a conference this
morning and it is believed a
plan of mediation is on foot.
There has been no rioting
and no disturbance either in
the city or country, but the de-
termination to continue the war
is so prevalent that it will not
be safe for any cabinet to make
any other proposition.

consideration Of the war revenue bill had
been almost completed. although there
were some puzzling problems still un-
solved, one of which was the manner Of
dealing with proprietary medicinal arti-
cles. There will be probably uniform tax
on all of them. The committee had de-
cfded to place q license upon banks at the
rate of 800 a year, and upon brokers at the
rate of $50. but has not yet determined
whether the professions shall be licensed
or not. On life insurance companies the
rate has been increased five-fold, being
made 10 cents on every 500. and 1t Is esti-
mated that this increase will add about
81 900, 900 in revenue.
The provisions for an Inheritance tax
and for a tax on bills of lading were both
adopted, as were the provisions taxing all
dealings In futures, including bucket shop
operators. The bill. as it will be reported.
will contain a provision requiring that
be made Of all dealings of
