CHANCE ron SEATTLE MERCHANTS
BY . Little Effort the Trade of Re-

Special C'orrespondence.

REPUBLIC. Wash. July Ie.-Seattle Is
our natural point at which TO buy goods,
and we think by a proper effort on the
part OF Seattle merchants at least three
fourths Of our trade could be secured for
that city.
While it IS fact that the camp is rather
quiet at this time. certainly nothing else
could be expected when the recent exodus
TO the south half Is considered.
Many OF our mining and business men
have been advised for number OF years
of the wonderfully rich mineral resources
OF the south half, and hence it was per-
fectly natural that they should avail them
selves of the earliest opportunity TO secure
interests in that new district. All those
who have secured a representation down
there have returned within a few days. aud
are again engaged in pushing development
work on their claims in this camp. The
Republic is one OF the greatest mines that
was ever discovered in the West, and to
a certain extent casts a shadow over lesser
lights, vet we have a great number OF good
propositions which are hardly ever heard
OF outside OF the camp. Among the many
properties on which work is being actively
advanced Is the Golden Harvest, which has
a large and strong body of ore III sight

MADRID. July 1.-THE government has
definitely decided to open peace negotia-
tons without delay. proposing as basis
the remuneration OF ali rights over the ISL
and Of Cuba.
Informal negotiations for peace are con-
tinued.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Man says:

The queen regent has had three inter-
views with Lieut.. Gen. Correa. minister OF
war; and has persuaded him to cease his
opposition to peace. Pressing dispatches in
the same sense have been sent to Capt.
Gen. Bianco.
One Of the chief reasons which has driven
the government towards peace is a fear
that the Americans may get foothold in
Porto Rico, thus establishing a claim to
include that island In their demands for
territory.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says:
THE issuance of the royal decree sus-
pending the constitutional guarantee and
virtually proclaiming a state OF siege is
evidently intended to check Carlism.''
The pacific tendency is Increasing. and
the general public takes favorable view
OF the suggestion that the powers should
attempt the establishment Of peace. but

The minister of war. Gen. Correa, is quoted
as saying in an interview that he thought
peace might be arranged on the following
terms:
The United States and Spain to agree
to let the Cubans decide by plebiscte
whether they desire Independence or
autonomy under the suzerainty of Spain.
The governments to agree to abide by the
result Of the plebiscite; In event of Gu
