MORE MINERS RETURN.
Steamer Samoa Reaches Seattle With
Thirty-six Klondikers.

Seattle, Wash, July 1s.-The steam
schooner Samoa arrived tonight from ST.
Michaels, Alaska, with IS Klondikers,
who brought with them from $S0, $40 to
$4,000 in gold dust. The Samoa left st.
Michaels July 6. Among her passengers
was Thomas G. Austin of New What
com. Wash. Mr.. Austin states that the
cleanup on Eldorado, Bonanza and
Hunker creeks. in the Klondike district,
this season, will not exceed SIC. 900, 600.
This, together with about s5000.OO0 of last
seasons output, will all be shipped out
this year. he confirms previous reports
that no important new discoveries have
been made.
Several passengers were from Minook
creek, where they worked all winter with
but little success. Ex-Governor McGraw
of Seattle and Z. N. Case have the best
claim in the district. Their claim yielded
about 81, 900.
When the Samoa left st. Michael there
were many people there who had decided
not to go on to Dawson and were wait

the Yukon from Dawson to st. Michael,

She was towed into st. Michael by the

passengers and a large amount of gold.

the way from S5.000.000 to Sl6.0o0, coo.
One misfortune after another seems to
have befalien the craft which have start

time of departure of the Samoa not one
of the numerous river craft had arrived
except those taken by the steamer New

NOTIFYING THE sPANIARDs.
Outlying Garrisons Do Not Know
That They Have Surrendered.

Guantanamo Bay, July 1.-THE prob
lem of notifying the Spanish troops of
the Fourth army corps, outside of those
which composed the garrison of San
tiago de Cuba, of the surrender of
General Torals forces is likely to cause
some trouble. The Spaniards at Guam
tanamo are evidently still ignorant of
the surrender, and the Cubans, under
General Perez, have daily skirmishes
with Spaniards Who are trying to
break through the lines and join the
forces at Santiago de Cuba.
: General Miles, who arrived here on
the Yale this afternoon, says that Cen
eral Toral will send officers to the diff
ferent forts in the province, notifying
them of the surrender. The Spaniards
in Guantanamo can be easily reached,
and they Will be ordered to come down
the bay and surrender. Those inland,
however, will be more difficult to COM
municate with, and it will probably be
some time before all the Spanish
troops are notified.

BASIS OF NEGOTIATIONS.
Independence of Cuba, and Not Ruth
less Conquest.

London, July 1S.-The Madrid CORE
lie here is in a painful state of uncer-
tainty regarding Santiago. The Amer
lean dispatches are contradictory and
there is almost no information from
Spanish sources. 1t is suggested that
the delay is due to the fact that the
cabinet communicates with General
Toral only through Captain General
Blanco, who has largely discretionary
powers, but this explanation is unsat-
isfactory.
One thing is certain, and augurs i'll
for the speedy conclusion of peace. The
cabinet at Washington seems more ex-
acting about conditions than General
Shafter, and this is regarded as indi-
eating anything but a conciliatory dis
position on the part of the president of
the United States at this present mo-
ment, when a little generosity might
turn the scale in favor of a. peaceful So
luton, and when the local negotiations
between the two generals at Santiago
might develop into larger negotiations
between the two governments.
1t is impossible, owing to their re-
serve. to say what the ministers here
regard as reasonable conditions, but
observe among their private friends an
idea worth mentioning. In any peace
negotiations. say these, the point of de-
parture ought to be the publicly
avowed object of the war on the part of
the United States, namely. the emanci-
patton of Cuba from Spanish rule. If
President Mckinley restricts himself
to that object, there will be no serious
difficulty to coming to an agreement,
because Spanish public opinion, official
and unofficial, has come to recognize
that Spanish rule in Cuba cannot be
re-esta blished. If, ON the other hand, a.
war undertaken for the specific purpose
Of liberating Cuba develops into war
of ruthless conquest and annexation.

sANTIAGo,s REVENUES.
Present Spanish Schedule to Be En-
forced Bv Americans.

forced By Americans.
Washington, July 1S.-The president
has signed the war tariff for Santiago
and it takes effect tomorrow. 1t adopts
in general the privileged rates now
given Spain there. and makes that tariff
uniform for all countries, including the
United States.
The tariff was signed by President
Mckinley after a brief conference this
afternoon with Secretaries Gage and
Aiger. The instructions were imme-
diately cabled to the authorities in
charge of Santiago by Secretary Alger,
so that the tariff can be put in force
tomorrow morning. The new tariff
abolisheS the discriminative tariff now
in operation there, the rates for differ
ent countries at Cuban ports varying.
The country took as its basis the rates
accorded products of Spain, and applies
them to all countries, not even except
ing the United States. The most i'm
portant change effected is a reduction
of tonnage on ships carrying 1000 tons
or more. which go in and out of the
port for the present rate of 81 a ton, to
a rate of 20 cents per ton.
This Dr0hibiciye tonnage tax under
the Spanish customs has been made ad-
ditional TO the customs duties. In
contrast to the 20-cent rate declared for
santiago IS our own tonnage GL . cents,
and most OF the other countries of three
or four times that much. The heavy
export duty on tobacco and certain
other Cuban products and the 5 cents
export tax on iron ore are retained for
a while ct least.
Secretary Gage and Assistant Secre-
tary Howell We're engaged all the morn
ing in studying the Cupan tariff, and
were surprised to see that there were
only slight differences in their principal
features between the Cuban rates, as
applied to Spain, and our own rates
under the present law, but an increase
OF 80 per cent in Cuban rates as ap-
piled TO countries other than Spain.

DUTY ON LEAD ORE.
Rebate Allowed When Manufactured
Articles Are Exported.

Washington, July B-In the case Of
the Selby Smelling &c Lead company of
San Francisco, the attorney general has
decided that drawback of the duties paid
on imported lead, refined in a bonded es-
Establishment and subsequently Withdrawn
on payment OF duties, for domestic con-
sumption. as provided by the act of July
p, 1897. should be allowed upon the ex-
portation of the articles manufactured
wholly from such lead, under section 50
of the same act. The ore Imported by
this company was fluxing ore, composed
largely of lead. and was smelted. as the
process requires, along with a domestic
refractory ore. containing incidentally Il
small percentage OF lead. But under sec
ton 20, it is held that as the law author
ICES the withdrawal of 80 per cent OF the
refined product for domestic consumption
only on the payment of the duties. this
sufficiently Identifies the 90 per cent as
foreign ore and as such !; entitled to
drawback on transportation. This opinion
modifies that of Dec. 2S. 1894 which held
in similar case that no drawback could
be allowed, because the quantity of meas
ure of the domestic lead could not be as
certained by chemical analysis or other
means.

WAR TO THE DEATH.
Spain VIII Not Submit to the Ameri-

Madrid, July 1S.-The necessity of
making peace is now universally ad-
mitted, but the necessity of making it
quickly is less generally realized and
partly owing to Senior Sagasta's indie
cision. Apparently nothing definite is
being done by the government, which
seems in no hurry to make proposals.
The newspapers here assert that the
United States intends to demand an
enormous indemnity lin order to have
the pretext to seize the Philippines as
guarantee"
The supposed American peace terms
are greatly exciting the public, and the
opinion is expressed among the people
that war to the death would be prefer
able to the ruin of Spain.
