MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Members of the American League
Seem to BE Agreed That 1t Is

DETROIT, MICH. Aug. 4.-The League
of American Municipalities this afternoon
adopted the report of it's special auditing
committee. censuring its secretary. B. E.
Gilkinson. of New York. for irregularities
in handling of the leagues funds The
league, however, reelected the secretary in
consideration of his services in perfecting
the organization and on the theory that
his failure to turn over the funds to the
treasurer and to furnish the vouchers re-
quired by the auditing committee were
technical errors and ought not to be con-
strued as a reflection upon his character
or ability. Mayor Black, of Columbus. was

the proposition. the question of how to eff

A FREE COINAGE RUMOR.
1t Is Said That the Indian Mints Are
to BE Reopened-New Ratio
Sug.eafed.

DENVER, Aug. A special to the
Times from Washington d. c.. says: In
formation has been received here from
London through private channels to the
effect that the Indian mints are to be re-
opered TO free coinage. and the assertion is
made that this will occur at an unexpect-
edly early date. The report of the Indian
commission is to be published before Sep
tenber l and this is expected to throw
some light upon the details of the matter
The announcement tnat the important
step of reopening the mints will take place
comes from a source which is usually re-
liable. There is a strong effort to have
the ratio changed from is to l 10 90 to l.
and IL is asserted that willingness to
assent TO this change has been evinced hy
both the United States and France. The
establishment of a ratio of % to l would
have the effect of increasing the present
price of silver. but would. on the other
hard. probably prevent forever the restor-
atior of the ratio of is to J.
There is some disposition TO doubt the
accuracy of the information. but this
doubt appears to arise largely from the
TACT that ii is unexpected.

the president yesterday. He realized that
conditions would be useless. so far as it
touched the vital points of the demand.
He undoubtedly had reached that convic
tion at the second interview when the pres
ident, in going over with him the terms he
proposed a basis for-peace had impressed
strongly upon him the determination OF
our government not to indulge In haggiing
for advantage: not TO be equipped with two
sets of terms, maximum and minimum con-
ditions. but TO lay down at once the propo-
sitions that the United States deemed TO be
fair and just as basis for peace. and,
having done so. TO adhere to them firmly,
so far as all matters of principle were con-
cerned. But the ambassador felt that it
was his duty. regardless of his personal
convictions. 10 lay the plea OF the Spanish
government before the president, and that
Is what yesterdays meeting amounted TO.
Now, with the Spanish government as
sured that no further notifications can be
expected. there is nothing remaining but
an acceptance of the terms outright or
rejection without further DEBATE, WHICH Is
not expected.
Something has been said about an effort
on the part of the Spanish government to-
secure some guarantee from the United
States that the lives and property of SpaE-
ish citizens in conquered territory shall be
cared for. The idea OF the administration
is that no such pledge or guarantee is nee
essary. Assuming sovereignty over con-
quered territory and exercising it either
through civil administration, as will be the
case with Porto Rico in the end. or through
military sovernorship, s-will be the case
in Cuba for an indefinite time, the United
States assumes strict obligation to protect
the lives. interests and property of all citi-
zens of all neutral nations, and 1t must be
remembered that, when treaty of peace is
signed, the citizens of Spain, now enemies,
will fall in that category.

Gates that a hurricane of unusual severity
swept the Gulf coast of Florida yesterday.

and took refuge upon a beacon, where he
remained for forty hours without food or

reached as high as eighty miles. Four tugs
and many small craft were sunk. Houses

WILL REPLY NEXT WEEK.
1t Is Said in Madrid That There Will
BE No Speedy Acceptance of
Peace Terms.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
1.-The government has not yet answered
the American note, nor received President
McKinley's reply to the explanations asked
for by Senior Sagasta. The premier said
to-day that the government would reply to
the American demands early next week.
'In consulting the party leaders, Sagasta
is following the precedent of CASTELAR,.
when the Virginigs affair threatened war
with the United States. 1t is not probable
that he will resign as result of the con-
ferences.
1.-The premier is inclined to rush the
treaty through without convoking the
cortes, trusting to get bill of indemnity
next month; but the party leaders are not
likely to consent to this course
MADRID. Aug. 4.-The Spanish cabinet
met this afternoon, the queen regent presid-
ing. and the peace proposals were dis
cussed. Apparently no definite decision was
arrived at. The premier. Senior Sagasta,
conferred this evening with the presidents
of both chambers of the cortes, and is row
comforting with Marshal Martinez Campos
and the Duke of Tetran, minister of for
eign affairs in the last cabinet of the late
Senior Canovas.
Until the official account of the peace ne
gotiations is published, the utmost secrecy
viii be observed.
The consultation between the premier.
the presidents of the chambers and other
prominent persons is described as being of
a really national character. with a view to
ascertaining the views of all parties. The
government has not yet entered into any
agreement regarding terms for concluding
the war with the United States.
The cabinet will follow the advice of the
party leaders and will leave to the crown
the liberty of choosing new advisers.
All the leaders consulted thus far have
observed the strictest reserve, with the
exception of Senor Romero Robledo. the
leader of the Weylerite party, who declares
himself in favor of continuing the war.
The queen regent has summoned several
g.Eerals for consultation.
La Correspondence de Espana says the
government has no present intention of
convoking the cortes.
FL Correo. the ministerial organ, says
that. in addition to the monarchist chiefs,
the queen regent will consult Professor
Salmeron. the Republican leader. and an
influential carlist chief.
