PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Commission May Dispose of Cuban
Question Next Week.

Paris, Oct 21.-The United States
and Spanish peace commissions held
separate sessions this morning, and
when the joint session opened this af-
ternoon it was believed the Cuban
question would not be decided today,
but would be taken up again at the
joint session of Monday next.
The joint session today lasted from 2
p. m. to 4:2G p. m. During this time
the commissioners discussed the sec
ond series of written arguments put
forward by the Spaniards for the pur-
pose of prevailing upon the American
commissioners to assume the Cuban
debt. No definite conclusion was
reached and the commissioners ad-
iourned until Monday, when the Cuban
question will again be discussed. 1t is
probable that this feature Of the nego-
tiations will be disposed of next week.
Thus far there have been seven joint
sessions, four of which have been de-
voted to the discussion Of the first ar
ticle of the protocol In this manner
two weeks have passed and no result
has been reached. The American COM
unissioners have listened 10 all the ar
guments of the Spaniards, but they
have not changed the position which
they first took.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The director of
the mint, in his report upon the pro-
duction of the precious metals during
the calendar year 1897, just submitted
TO the secretary Of the treasury, deals
not only with the production of gold
and silver in the United States. but in
foreign countries as well, and draws
a comparison between the production
of leading producing countries of the
world. The means from which infOr
nation has been derived is the most
authentic and reliable, and the figures
are as nearly accurate as it is possible
to obtain
The value of gold produced in the
United States during the calendar year
republic holds first place, producing
gold to the value OF S57. $50, Sol. Aus
tralia, $55,6S4, Isl, and Russia, $23, 245,-
763.
There was a notable increase in the
production of gold in the world dur
ing 1897 over 1896. The United States
increased S4.275, 900; the South African
republic made the remarkable gain of
S13. S54, 1872; Australasia increased $10,-
5O2. 249. and Russia. 81, l09, $50. The
United States produced during the year
So $50 600 fine ounces of silver, and
Mexico SO 500, $50 fine ounces. a decrease
for the United States Of 4.974,S0O
fine ounces, and an increase for Mexico
of S,256,l56 fine ounces.
The following tables show the produc-
ton of the United States by producing
states and territories and the production
of the leading producing countries OF the
world for the calendar year 1887:
