A CHANCE FOR SILVER.
All of the Builion In the Treasury May
he Coined.

Washington. June 1.-THE republican
members of the conference committee on
the war revenue bill were in caucus for
about four hours to-day and 1t is stated
by members of the caucus that they prac-
tically reached an agreement on the most
important items of difference between the
two houses. They relate to the coinage OF
the silver bullion. the form of the bond
provision and the amount Of the bonds.
the Inheritance tax. the duty on tea. etc.
These questions have not yet been raised
I'm the full conference and the republicans
decline to state any points of their agree
ment. The general impression among sem
ators is that there will be some provision
for coinage of the seigniorage and possi-
bly, all the silver bullion in the treasury.
but il is not believed that the terms OF
the senate provision will be accepted with
out material modification.
The result of the Oregon election
strengthened those opposed 10 making
any concessions to silver. hut IL also had
the effect of causing the Western repub-
lican senators to be all the more clamor-
Gus for recognition. They express conf
dence that their representations will not
go unheeded. and they profess to speak
upon assurances from republican members
of the conference.
Two sessions Of the full committee were
held. but in these only matters of minor
Importance were passed upon, and as "A
rule the senate amendments on tnese mat
ters were accepted. Among the changes
was one I'm the beer tax provision. making
IL definite that the stock on hand exempt
ed should be the stock in the hands of
dealers. and not of brewers.
The house conferees are making a de-
termined contest to relieve insurance
agents from the license of sl2 year and
they have indicated tendency to allow
the tax on bankers, brokers. theaters. etc.
to stand if the insurance agents are not
taxed. They are also making an onslaught
on Senator Chilton's amendment extend
ing the provisions I'm regard to proprietary
medicines to other articles. but the sem
ate's representatives indicate a disposition
TO yield on this point. Allison expressed
the opinion when adjournment was taken
for the night that he thought that the
committee could conclude it's work to-
morrow. but that 1t would not be able to
report before Thursday.

IT HAS CLEARED THE WAY.
Santiago's Land Dsfenses Will Yield to q
Vigorous Attack.

London. June s.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Cape Haytien says:
THE American victory at Santiago de
Cuba has cleared the way for the en-
trance of Admiral Sampson and the de-
etruction of the Spanish fleet. AS San
tiagos land .defenses are reported weak.
it is likely that the city will yield TO a
vigorous attack.
1T is reported that the commander
Of the Reina Mercedes. second in COM
mand OF the Spanish fleet under Ger
vera, was killed during the engage
ment. The combined American and in
surgent forces are entrenched near Dali
quiri with guns mounted in preparation
for a forward movement. From Spanish
sources comes a report that a party of
Americans landed at Aguadores, but
whether it is true or not is not known
here"
