In yesterdays Herald mention was
made of the fact that the members of
I the Salt Lake Mining exchange,
through its governing board, had sent
telegram to Utah's congressman at
Washington asking for a modification
of the revenue tax bill as far as it re-
lated to the tax on the sale and trans
fer of mining stocks possessing only
nominal value, and it seems that our
representatives at the national capital
have been prompt in their attention to
the request, as an answer was received
yesterday from Senator Cannon, which
reads as follows:
Washington, June 90, 1898.
e. H. Airs, President, D. H. Peery, jr.,
and other Members of the Governing
Board of the. Salt Lake Mining Ex-
change:
After consultation among western
senators, Senator Jones, of Nevada,
will press the finance today. We will
urge prompt passage through the SEN
ate of amendment providing that all
stock of companies engaged exclusively
in mining gold, silver and lead, shall
pay on transfer, cent per 500 of
selling values. FRANK J. CANNON.
Representative King was also heard
from, his recommendation being that the
taking of mining stock transfers and
sales be abolished altogether, but as
this would come under the ban of "class
legislation it could hardly be consid-
cred, however desirable such action
might be.
Among the stock dealers of this city,
as far as interviewed, the proposition
of Senator Cannon is highly acceptable,
and although the tax would run up into
good money in the dealings in high
priced stocks, still, it would enable the
little 2 and scent stocks to survive,
as they could be dealt in without seri-
Gus hindrance on this basis of taxa
ton.
1t is understood that Senator Stewart
will possibly and quite probably meet
with success in the introduction of this
amendment, in which event, the ex-
pected blow to the mining stock inter-
ests of this intermountain region will
be happily averted

ANOTHER WAR SPECTACLE.
Hobson Sinking the Me1rimac.

At great expense the management
of the Lagoon have secured another
great spectacular production. Owing
to the fact that thousands We're IN
able to see the great war spectacle,
Blowing up of the Maine" which was
enacted with so much success and real
ism at Lagoon on last Sunday even
ing, the management will, on July 2,
reproduce this famous catastrophe,
and on the evening of July will be
portrayed the latest, newest and most
sublime spectacle, .Hobson sinking the
Merrimac" These two great war
scenes will, in point of magnificence
and realistic effects, far surpass any
other heretofore produced, and they are
positively the last it is in the power of
the Lagoon management to offer to its
patrons this season.
Saturday, July 2,
Blowing up the Maine"
Sunday, July 3,
Sinking of the Merrimac. An
American hero's sacrifice for his coun-
try. Magnificent fireworks accompany
each production.

HOBSON'S EXCHANGE.
Spanish Authorities Willing, But the
Press Objected.

New York, June pa dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The
Spanish government and Captain Gen
eral Blanco are equally disposed to
exchange the Merrimac prisoners, in
fact an authorization to exchange them
was telegraphed to Genera Blanco but
the Havana and Madrid newspapers
made row over it, affecting to be-
lieve that it would be very dangerous
to liberate men who have been close
enough TO the defenses of Santiago to
be in position to carry back impor-
tant information. Accordingly, after
much hesitation, the government in
sisted upon General Blanco, General
Linares and Admiral Cervera refusing
to exchange, although all three were
in favor of an exchange.
According to Spanish advices Lieu
tenant Hobson and the other prisoners
were confined only a short time in
MORO fort, and were then transferred
to a vessel in the bay. They are be-
lieved to be safe as long as Linares
and Cervera can control the situation.
The Spanish regulars are sure to re-
spect the rights of the prisoners The
only danger is from the volunteers.
Members of the old Spanish party are
exasperated by the downfall of the old
regime.

ADVENTURES IN PHILIPPINES.
How An American Escaped Death
From Various Sources.

Port Townsend, June 29.-The steam
er Columbia brings a, japanese paper
containing an account of the adven-
lures with rebels and Spaniards of Mr..
Vincent, an American experimenting
a petroleum well on the island of Cebu.
Mr. Vincent was taken captive by the
rebels and taken to their headquarters
on the outskirts of Cuba, where he WAS
condemned to death. While awaiting
execution Spanish war vessel
steamed into. the harbor and COM
menced to lombard the place The in
sursents speedily decamped. leaving
their prisoner in the room. Shell after
shell came crashing through the walls,
carrying away most of the building.
When the bombardment ceased a large
number of rebels returned. having the
bloodstained upper half of a priests
head in a basket The head was placed
on a table and Vincent was given to
understand that he would soon fare a
similar fate. He was surrounded by
rebels with drawn knives. Before the
command of execution was given he
succeeded in making them understand
that he was an American and not a
Spaniard. The chief ordered his life
spared.
In the meantime the Spanish soldiers
attacked the place from the rear and
the rebels attempted to escape. The
Spanish troops rounded together some
200 natives many of whom were young
boys. and We're indulging in an indis-
crininate slaughter. Ignorant at the
time OF what was transpiring within a
few score yards of him, Mr.. Vincent
could hear the cries and prayers of the
helpless natives amidst the roar of
After a while the fire
slackened and all was quiet, except
few occasional shots, which sounded
the death knell of those among the ma
tives who had escaped the volley poured
into their midst. About o'clock the
next morning Mr.. Vincent crept out
Of the ruined building and succeeded
in getting aboard of the British steam
ship Gulf of Martabar, which had a
number of Philippine refugees bound
for Singapore.

MERRITT SAILS FOR MANILA
HIS VESSEL WILL MAKE ALL
POSSIBLE SPEED.
Will Not Wait For the Other Trans
ports-Fourth Expedition Expect
ed to leave By July 10th.

San Francisco, June 29.-The speedy
steamer Newport, bearing Major Cen
eral Wesley Merritt, military governor
Of the Philippines, and his staff, besides
the Aston light battery and companies
| FL ard K of the Third United States
artillery and detachments from the
hospital and signal corps, is now on its
way to Manila. AS the vessel gradu-
ally drew away from her dock, the
blowing of many whistles told Yhe peo-
pie on shore that General Merritt had
taken his departure from American
shores, and was on his way to assume
charge of the military affairs of the
Philippines.
Great crowds had gathered to wit
ness the departure of the trim vessel,
and many fashionable equipages on the
dock told of the presence of representa-
tives of the four hundred, who had
come to bid farewell to friends among
members of the Astor battery. Many
tug boats and yachts chartered for the
occasion accompanied the Newport
down the bay and out through the
Golden Gate to the Pacific, where the
last fareWellS were waved to the de-
parting military men gathered on the
deck Of the steamer.
The Newport win make every effort
to overtake the third fleet of transports,
reaches Honolulu, where the vessels
will coal, and take on fresh supplies
before proceeding to Manila. General
Merritt is very anxious to avoid an
encounter with any vessel from the
Spanish navy, and will issue orders to
the fleet at Honolulu to make all Dos
sibIe speed to the islands. 1t is prob
able that the Newport will not wait for
the other vessels of the fleet at Homo
lulu, but viii proceed with as little de-
lay as possible TO Manila,
FOURTH EXPEDITION.
General E. S. Otis and his force are
doing everything they can to get the
fourth expedition under way as soon
as possible, and to keep up the record
which has been made so far of sending
an expedition every two weeks. Every
thing depends on the transports.
Twelve or fifteen more are needed. As
many ships as can be gotten together
without delaying the next expedition
will be sent out. without regard to a
brigade organization, or any specified
number of troops. The Pueblo AID
Peru have already been secured, and
a third transport has been practically
decided upon, although the army au-
thorities are not yet willing to give out |
her name officially.
An attempt will be made to get the |
expedition away by the 10th of July, |!
but if the vessels go in fleet, this can |
not be done. The City of Pueblo is |
ready, and it is reported that the de- |
partment is considering the plan of |
sending the ships out as fast as they !
are fitted up. Steamship men say that |
this is the proper way to do, for if |
Camara's fleet passes through the Suez
canal a fleet of transports could not be
sent from here with safety after July
l5.

SEND THEIR MONEY HOME.
Camp Merritt Troops Generously Di-
vide With Relations

San Francisco, June 29.-Within the
last three weeks an average of $500 a
day, or a total of $11, 900, has been sent
away by the soldiers in money orders,
nearly all to relatives at home. There
las also been forwarded about $4,000
by express. The day after the Kansas
regiment was paid off the express office
alone took $4,000, practically all of
which went home to the mothers of
Kansas volunteers. Some of these Kan
sas soldiers sent as much as $25 out of
the $50 received for their first two
months service, and many gave the
folks at home more han half their
earnings.
Over 10000 letters and eight sacks Of
papers are sent away daily by the
Camp Merritt postoffice. From six
thousand to eight thousand letters, and
about u sacks of papers have been

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. IL
the liver is inactive, you have a bilious
lock; if your stomach is disordered, you
have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
are affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will surely
have good looks. Electric Bitters" is
good Alternative and Tonic. Acts di-
rectly on the stomach, liver and kid

has been no substantial movement of a
large character
There is every reason to believe how
ever, that American capital Will be high
ly successful in China. The Chinese
government has all the time been
friendly to this country and American
enterprises are not apt to run against
the veXatious embarrassments which
rival diplomacy has endeavored to throw
in the way of the enterprises OF the dif-
ferent European syndicates that nave
endeavored to operate in that territory.
There is no limit to the possibilities
of American commerce with emma. 1t
is a vast territory with vast popula-
ton, and in a sense, is the one section
of the world where there are really great
n0ssihilities of commercial development.
Naturally, this territory belongs more
properly to the United States than to
any other nation. for the great highway
of the Pacific brings us in closer touch
with the field than anybody else is. 1t
is. in short ours for the cultivation. we
need it. AS our commerce prospers in
the markets Of the world, so Will the
country at large prosper.
There is every reason to believe that
with proper encouragement the greater
part of this vast commerce can be Sc
cured for this country, and that the
beginning in the development of emma
to be made by this railroad syndicate
will be followed by many similar enter
prises. which will benefit not only those
directly connected with them, but in
directly all the people of the country. 1t
is for this reason that the operations OF
the China Development Company Will
be watched with deepest interest by all
Of those who have an eye tn the mateTl-
al success of the United States OF the
future.
