OUR SUGAR PRODUCTION.
Hawaii Will Not Be a Serious Com
petitor to Beet Sugar Raisers.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Replying to a
resolution of inquiry, Secretary Wilson
sent today to the senate a statement
concerning the production of sugar in
this country and his opinion of the eff
feet of the Importation of Hawaiian
sugar on the production of beet sugar
in the United States. He gave the aver
age importation of sugar to this coun-
try for the past seven years as $101,-
575.293 worth of which the Hawaiian
importation was $9973,924. He con-
cludes that Hawaii will not seriously
compete with sugar producers in the
United States, and says that when the
people of those islands come to con-
slider the possibilities of coffee produc-
ton, it viii be found that they have a
monopoly with which no state in the
Union can interfere
Mr.. Wilson also expresses the opinion
that Hawaii would be very profitable
acquisition, because OF its fruits.

RepIy-Senor Rios interviewed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-A special meet
ing of the Cabinet was held at 10 o'clock
tonight All the members were with the
President except Secretary Long, who is out
of the city. The meeting was called by the
President in order that his advisers might
consider with him advices received this
evening from the American peace commits
sioners at Paris. 1t is understood that the
advices related T. counter proposals infor-
mally made to II q American commissioners
by the representatives on the commission
of the Madrid government.
At the conclusion of the meeting, which
lasted only forty minutes. and was held in
the parlors of the White House, Secretary
of State Hay said to representative of the
Associated Press that the President had re-
ceived some advices from Paris that he de-
sired to lay before the Cabinet. and that he
had called the members together to consider
them The nature of the advices Mr.. Hay
declined to discuss. as he said that was
matter which could not be gone into for
ANSt+~e%eAcAA
ever. that, after considering the contents of
the dispatches, the President had cabled
the American commissioners reiterating his
former instructions
1t is understood that one point new in
the negotiations thus far was raised in the
dispatches received by the President 1t re-
lated TO modification of the terms of the
proposition submitted to the Spanish COM
missioners few days ago by the American
commissioners, but in just what particular
the proposed modification was to be made
could not be ascertained. That the PROPOSE
tion was not accepted was made clear by
the President in cabling to the American
commissioners reiteration of his former
instructions. The American commissioners
viii insist that the demands of the United
States as presented to Spain a few days
ago be considered without further modiflca-
tion That they will be acceded to by the
Spanish commissioners is the earnest belief
Of the members of the Cabinet and the
President.

Admiral ManteroIn,s Fleet.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: 'The greatest
activity prevails at the Havana arsenal.
Eight light-draft gunboats used during the
insurrection for patrolling the shores and
the rivers are birg dry docked, preparatory
to sending them home or selling them. The
Alfonso XIII, the NeuYa Eapana and the
Diego Valasquez, now at different ports of
Cuba, will come to Havana harbor to await
here the coming of the auxiliary cruisers
Meteor and Rapidito, which will arrive Dec.
10. Columbuss ashes will be placed aboard
the Rapidito and about Dec. Is the fleet will
proceed to Spain. Besides the ships men
toned, the feet which will cross the Allan
tic at that time will comprise the Conde de
Venadito, the Infanta Isabel, the Marques
de la Ensendada, and the torpedo boats
Marques de Molins, Martin Yanez Pinzon,
Alonzo Yanez Pinzon and Fflipinos. The
first stop will be made at Martinique. where
the ships will be coaled and where honor will
be paid by the French to Columbus's MEM
ory. The same thing will be done at the
Cape Verde islands, and the fleet will then
proceed to Cadiz as usual"

conner" asked the correspondent OF the As
scciated Press.
"Ah, but we are approaching a. confiden-
tial matter" said Senior Rios. innocently.
Everything connected with both commits
sions Is a secret"
The Spaniards apparently doubt the fixed
ness of the amount the Americans offered
for the Philippines, and to-day they sent
communication to the American commits
sioners asking If the latter would accept
counter proposal by Spain to cede the Phil
ippines for $1000OOOoO. Spain imagines the
Americans might be willing to lop off the
great island of Mindanao from the Philip
pines and pay Spain 100000 for what
would remain, instead of s2O,OOO 900 now Of
fered for the entire archipelago. Spain will
learn, in response to such inquiries, that
Americans employ the word ultimatum to
signify ultimate conditions However stren-
uously Spain may seek to increase her
money advantage for the cession of the
Philippines, she will finally be compelled to
know that the United States offer means
$50, 900 COO no more and no less, and that
the whole archipelago must pass to the
United States for that sum. Spain, before
giving up or turning away, will also pro-
pose some alternative bargain of the Caro-
lines or Canary islands, to be held IN the
possession of the United States in addition
to the Philippines, on the condition that
Spain be permitted to retain her sovereignty
in the Philippines. IN other words. Spain
would cede certain territory in the Caro-
lines and Canaries and the control of the
Philippines by the United States under a
nominal Spanish sovereignty, and, as fur
ther inducement, propose that the United
States shall pay Spain no money on account
of the Philippine islands.

CATTLE KING DEPOSED
FAILURE OF GRANT c. GILLETT FOR
A MILLION OR MORE.
Hundreds of Thousands OF Dollars of
His Paper AflOat-His Career of
the Sky-ROcket Order.

ABILENE, Kan. Nov. 25.-A failure in
volving cattle interests throughout the
Southwest was precipitated here to-day
when an attachment suit for $4,000 was
filed against Grant c. Gillett Of Woodbine,
by the Gillespie Commission Company, Of
Kansas City. Gillett controls thousands of
cattle on the Southwestern ranges, and his
liabilities are believed to be over a million
dollars 1t is now known that on Monday
Of the present week Gillett made an as
signment and deed of trust of all his hold
ings to d. w. Naill. Mr.. Naill, however
refused to accept the trust and the papers
were not filed. This condition of affairs be-
coming noised about, Gillett's creditors
came down upon him in droves. Men rep
resenting twenty-five commission firms in
Kansas City arrived at Woodbine to-day on
a special train and Immediately began
searching for Gilletts cattle, which are
ranging over central and western Kansas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas.
How many there are none OF the creditors
seems to know, but it is stated that there
are about 5000 head on Gilletts Woodbine
ranch Some idea of the extent of Gillett's
liabilities was gained at the county regis
ters Office here, where fully $1OOO,OO0 of his
paper is recorded. About one-third of it is
blanket and unreleased mortgages while
the remainder covers cattle now being fed.
Most of Gillett's paper is thought to have
been held by Kansas City banks and COM
mission firms, but the firms who are repre-
sented here on the ground claim to be am
ply protected.
The career of Grant c. Gillett has been
of the skyrocket order. He is but thirty
enc years of age, and his operations have
startled the more conservative stockmen.
Four years ago he lived on a mortgaged
quarter section of land near Woodbine,
where he began his cattle trade by feeding
steers for others. In this he was successful,
and on the little ranch he laid the ground
work of business which has enabled him
to handle over 100000 cattle within the last
three years. His methods were as novel as
they were daring. Soon he seemed to have
unlimited credit. He bought great droves
of cattle in Texas and brought them north
for sale and feeding. Soon he organized his
celebrated cowboy band, composed of
plainsmen in his employ, and when he rode
about the country in his special car he took
his band of musicians with him. He even
took them into Eastern cities, where they
attracted much attention. Mr.. GiIlett is
said to have recently taken out $237, ,9G0 of
life insurance and S2O0, 900 of accident insur-
ance.
