AAe AdiSeHoOu OI tHlS assumption
it has not the dignity of an argument
has been pointed out hundreds of
times, but they keep repeating it in the
hope that maybe it can be made to
stick. If gold could be made a "stan-
dard Of value and anchored securely
SO that 1t were impossible for it to
vary, there would be no difficulty in
adjusting silver to it, and two sub
stances fixed and stable, they would
stand as firmly as two stone walls.
For thousands Of years before 1873
silver money had been a recorder of
price the same as gold. 1t was then
demonetized by the great powers of the
world. In every country for thousands
of years the silver coin bearing the
same face or mint value that gold coin
bore, would purchase the same uuan-
tity of goods, and pay the same amount
of debt. And the silver coins today
are doing the same work. It is worse
than folly. it is an insult to common
sense, to claim that gold "is the most
stable Of all standards of value, SUBJ
ject to the least fluctuations from wear
to year and from century to century"
But what falsehood is too brazen for
one of these old hoary senate lawyers
to tell with a solemn face-if he is
paid to do it?
When Senator Edmunds or anybody
else succeeds in making a single stan
dard of value out of gold, or any other
metal or any other substance, there
will be no difhculty whatever in max.

Late this afternoon, a Madrid bulletin
was received stating that the Pope was
seeking to exercise pacific influences by
inducing both Spain and the insurgents
to accept an armistce in Cuba. If this
be true the Pope has not given any in
Structions or information along this line
to Mgr. Martineli, the Papal delegate

ported that one of the archbshops Of the

plsSENslONS AMONG
 SPANISH OFFICERS,
Santiago Would Surrender If It Was Not For the Strong Stand Taken
 by Military Officers. .as9

New York, July 12.-A dispatch to The Tribune from Siboney via Port An tonic says:
 The light artillery that arrived on Saturday will be sent forward and placed i'll position for enfilading the trenches where the Spanish forces are strongly intrenched.
 The progress i'll pushing forward the heavy siege guns is disappointing. They may be needed to reduce the main forti- fications of Santiago.
 Engineer and artillery officers are positive that they have located accurate ly the Spanish batteries, which were so destructive ill the earlier fighting
 The troops which came Saturday will be used as a reserve, and not sent ahead too rapidly.
 The additional supplies brought by the transports will be very serviceable, as the refugees from Santiago are becoming 8 serious military problem. There is q large settlement of them at Clancy, but that was not sufficient, and hundreds have spread beyond Siboney. Rations are served to them.
 The most intelligent of the refugees say that only small number of Spanish soldiers have recently entered Santiago not more than 1000. Discussions con tinue between General Toral, the mih- tary governor and General Linares Ca- prites, the civil governor, wants the city to surrender without further bloodshed, but the military faction is stubborn.
 The report of the bad health of the American troops i'll the field are exag. gerated The chief suffering has been from malaria and ordinary camp ail- ments, which yield to treatment. Some of the regiments have also suffered from physical exhaustion, because too much labor was put upon them in digging trenches and rifle pits.

 General Shafter held conference with the American generals at the front today concerning the offer made the Spanish commander Toral in which he would surrender Santiago, if the Span ish garrison was allowed to march out with side arms and 20 miles start with out molestation. Toral agreed If this was accepted not 10 destroy the ships in the harbor, the ammunition i'll the forts or the buildings Of the city.

TIE CRUISER CHICAGO
 ALMOST CONVERTED.
Her Keinoacslng Has Transformed Her Into warship That Greatly Adds
 to Her Qualities.

New York, July f9.-The cruiser Chicago. reconstructed and with in. creased speed, early next month will leave the New York navy yard, after having been in the hands ot workmen for several years. Few will recognize in the new Chicago the vessel that flew Rear Admiral Erben's flag ami was commanded by Captain Dlahan, now a member of the board of strategy in Washington, for she ia practically $ new ship, the only remaining original part of her being the iron hull.
 When the Chicago went out of com. mission she was bark-rigged, with three sail masts, but when she slips out Of the dry dock she will have two masts, neith- or of which will carry sails. They will be military masts, like those on the others of Uncle Sam s fighting ships and will give to the rejuvenated cruiser | more warlike appearance. Then, too, like her sisters of the navy, the Chicago will have her warpafnt on in place of the snowy coat she wore in the palmv, if experimental. days of the "white squadron.
 The Chicago was completed ill 1883, but many changes were found to be necessary i'll her machinery and arma. ment, and It was April, 1889 before she went into commission. Her dimensions are Length, S25 feet; beam IS feet 2 inches, and draftof l9 feet. She was built with 5000.horsepower engines ca pablo of speed of , knots.
 The Chicago was assigned to Euro pean waters from 1893 to 1895, when it was shown that her speed was entirely too slow for her mission. Being un- armored, although protected, it was de- cided that she should have greater speed, in order that were sine to encounter a first class tattleship her speed would en- able her to show her heels to the enemy, and she was ordered home
 The two new triple expansion engines which have been installed II the new Chicago will have an indicated horse power of 9000 instead of the 5000 of the old engines and will augment greatly her speed Through the genius of mod ern construction the new engines are tons less than the old ones. Another feature is the powerful electric plant for the searchlights, signals, steering appa- ratus, etc.
 Her armament has undergone many changes. Her main battery, formerly consisting of four S-inch, eight 6.ineh and two 5-inch breechloading rifles, are augmented by fourteen 5-ineh rapidfre guns, in addition to her secondary bat tery, which will consist of all the latest models of small rapidfire rifles.

 Copyrighted 1898, by the Associated Press
 Madrid, July 10, via Hendaye, France, July 11.-In spite of the fact that public opinions are divided, inclining rapidly in favor of peace, the people are becom- ing convinced every day of the impossi- bility of Spain standing against the power of the United States. The war party urges the continuance of the strug- gle, ito convince America of the diff culty to obtain prompt triumph of her arms and thus secure for Spain better terms. J
 There is q split in the cabinet, which will probably result i'll it's resignation and the formation of m intermediary government, because Senor Silvela, for the Conservatives, is unwilling to incur the responsibility ot peace negotiations for the best obtainabe terms, is certain to be trying to Spanish pride, which de- mands the scapegoat.
