has been nominated to initiate proceedings
against them. The chief Carlists in BARGE
Iona disappeared three days ago, their des-
tination being unknown. Those remaining
lead an irregular existence rarely sleeping
at home. The few leading Carlists who are
still in Madrid say that they do not recog-
nize as Carlists the armed bands which
have appeared in the country, Don Carlos
having given the most stringent orders
against rising until peace with America
is concluded.
Baron Sangarrol said to friend of mine:
Those bands are paid either by stock ex-
change jobbers or by the government, which
is anxious to justify its drastic measures. I
doubt very much that they are composed of
fanatical Carlists who have become impa-
tient. Believe me our rising will occur only
after peace has been made. 1t will be pre-
ceded by declaration of war, solemnly for
mulated by our deputies in Congress, in or
der that the country may know we'll the rea-
sons for our rising. We expect much adj
vantage for the effect this declaration will
have upon the country and the government
cannot complain of being taken unawares.' !"
The Hong-Kong correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: "Senor Navarro, the
Spanish consul, has engaged steamer to
take him to Manila Immediately upon the
conclusion of peace in the hope of saving
the city from bombardment."

ONLY $5,OOO,OOO in GOLD.
Output of the KIOndike Much Exag-
gerated, According to MIR. Leach.

SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 11.-F. A. Leach,
superintendent of the United States mint
in this city, estimates that the gold output
of the Klondike this year has been only
about S5,O00,0OO. The receipts at the mint
here have amounted to about $1,7500O0
since the first arrival of Yukon gold few
weeks ago. The receipts of the Seattle as
say office have been about the same. The
largest single deposit at the mint here was
$12g.0o0 Mr.. Leach estimates that about
$25c.0oO in dust and nuggets has gone East,
and that there is about $1,0O0O00 more of
this seasons output yet to reach this coun-
try. 1t is stated that the dust brought out
by the North American Trading and Trans
portation Company was sent East, and was
not included in Mr.. Leachs figures. This
amount might possibly reach $5O0O00. From
this showing it would appear that Sc. 900 900
would be a safe and conservative estimate
of the entire Yukon output. including the
American side as well as the Klondike.

MADRID, Aug. II, Midnight

MADRID, Aug. II, Midnight
According to the most reliable in
formation here tonight the war
is ended, so far as Spain is con-
cerned. It is stated that M. Cam
bon, the French ambassador at
Washington, has been instructed
through the government of Paris
to sign the protocol forwarded
from the United States last night.
1t is said in some quarters that the
wording of the protocol made it
in the nature of an ultimatum, but
this report cannot be confirmed
here. 1t is certain, however, that
extraordinary haste was shown by
the Spanish government in agree
ing to the demands of the United
States. Two Cabinet councils
were held to-day and there was
also a conference with the Queen
Regent. The text of the protocol
was not received by the ministers
Until late this evening, but its
points had been telegraphed from
Paris early in the day. The last
meeting of the Cabinet closed at
9:04 p. M, when it was announced
the government had approved the
protocol and woull at once cable
M. Cambon authorizing him to
sign the preliminaries of peace.
The press now considers peace a
foregone conclusion and echoes
the general impatience to see a
termination of hostilities and to
know the programme for the peace
commission, at which it is believed
either Senor Moret or Duke Almo-
dovar de Rio will preside. 1t is be-
lieved the negotiations will extend
into the second half of September.

Two Cabinet Councils and Various
Diplomatic Conferences.

Two Cabinet Councils and Various
Diplomatic Conferences.
MADRID, Aug. 1.-THE day has been,
automatically. one of the busiest since the
outbreak of the war. There have been
two important Cabinet councils, in ad-
dition to various diplomatic conferences.
Though the text of the protocol was not
received until the evening was well ad-
vanced. the government had been made
fully acquainted with its contents through
Paris. The matter was practically settled
at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon, and
the receipt of the actual document, there
fore, only required meeting of the Cabinet
for formal acceptance. Ministers adhere
to the statement that the protocol contains
10 modification of the original terms, but
only new suggestions. They expect it will
be signed at Washington tomorrow (Frl-
day.. and that a suspension Of hostilities

respondent of the Associated Press that the

President Mckinley replied to Span's note
with suspicious rapidity." 1t adds: 1--WE ac-

distinctions in language in order to reach
conclusion which is inevitable and al
ready known while our blood continues to
flow in Porto Rico and Manila. During the
last three years we have sacrificed too
much blood. 1t is time to end it and this
is the only aspect Of the question that at
