SANTIAGO HAS A NEW GOVERNOR
That Part of Cuba Not to Give Any
 Further Trouble.

Santiago de Cuba, July 17.-General McKibben has been appointed tempo rary military governor.
 All the enemy's troops in the east district of Santiago province will be marched to Santiago, many detach- ments from outlying points already being en route and the entire force of 22, 800 men, it is expected, will be ready to embark within a fortnight.
 What will be done with General Shafter's forces is not yet fully de- cided. Physicians declare that the army, owing to hardships and fever, will not be fit for active duty for some time to come, and General Miles is be- lieved to be seriously considering the proposition to leave only immune regi- ments to hold the conquered province and return the body of the corps to the United States, and sending other immunes from there to reinforce the Santiago detachment if necessary.
 Many of the troops are eager to par ticipate in the Porto Rico campaign, which, it is rumored about headquar- ters, will immediately follow, but this is strongly opposed by the surgeons.
 New cases of yellow fever continue to appear daily, and fully 600 are now under treatment, but the disease is of very mild form and the physicians say it is now well in hand
 Only five deaths have occurred uI to tonight.

Madrid. July 17.-A member of the cabinet in an interview today, assert ed that the government was seeking an honorable peace with the United States.
 An official dispatch from Porto Rico says that 150 cases of ammunition ex- ploded there, killing fourteen persons and wounding many others.
 Fl Imparcial says that a member of the ministry declares that negotiations for peace with the United States are only possible SO far as the question Of Cuba is concerned. To demand more would be to say that Spain must con- init suicide.
 The report that Senor Moret, min ister of the colonies, in the last pre- vious cabinet of Senor Sagasta, will be the representative of Spain in ne gotiations with the Unied Staes. is without foundation.

RICH STEAMER ARRIVED.
Bringing Millions in Dust, Nuggets
 and Drafts From Klondyke.

San Francisco, July 17.-After being eagerly watched for hour by hour dur ing the past ten days, the steamer St. Paul arrived tonight from St. Mich ael's bringing men and treasure from K1ondyke. There were 176 passengers earnings, in gold dust, nuggets and bank drafts is estimated by the ships officers at s3.oOO.0OO.
 The largest amount brought out by a single prospector Is in possession of N. I. Pickett, who has $50 900, princi- pally in gold dust and nuggets. Pete Wybird admits ownership of $5O,OO0 P. J. Nash has $30,0O0, and Fred Berry of Fresno, Cal, who had previously another with him now, but declines to disclose the amount.
 J. Dumas, who has been prospecting on Eldorado creek, has $40.000 to show for his labors in the frozen north and w. B. Burn, who suffered the misfortune of having his feet frozen and losing both by amputation, feels compensated by tEe possession of $100,000 in cash, the proceeds of the sale of five of his mining claims. J. Davis spent only one month ID Klondyke, but during that period realized $20,0O0 from his claim, and just before his departure sold the claim for $25, ,O00.
 J. Lebick, who has valuable claims on Bonanza, Dominion and Miranda creeks, says that most of the men like himself, have come south for the

AT FORT WHIPPLE.
A Rivalry Existing That Will Rssu.t in
 Much Good.

Whipple Barracks, Ariz., July 16.- Special Correspondence of The Re- publican. .)-The boys are having setting-up exercises every day, and drilling hard, as a great rivalry has sprung up between the different com panies. So far the Phoenix company is in the lead, bus will have to drill hard to retain it's place, as the Albu- querque boys are in the race to stay, while Tucson is a close third. Take it all through, Governor McCord will have regiment that he can we'll be proud of. Two companiss will be in from Oklahoma tonight, leaving but three more companies 10 complete the regiment.
 The boys are becoming anxious to move to the front, as they all realize that promotion comes quicker in the field than in barracks.
 Musician c. F. Cobbins, known as Shorty" among his comrades, has been appointed regimental trumpeber. To say Shorty" is proud of his justly canned position is putting it mildly, as was attested by his appearance in a brand new uniform, fit for a general, the next morning at dress parade.
 The flag which the ladies of Phoe- nix presented to B company, with the understanding that it gees to the front. is awaiting the coloneI's arrival in First company's office
 All the boys here wish to extend their thanks through your paper to the Crystal ice factory of Prescott. owned by w. J. Mulvenon, for the more than liberal offer he has made the regiment of giving them all the ice they can use if they come and get it. It is needless to say that his kind offer has been taken advantage Of.

LARGE HOLDINGS OF GOLD.
Nearly ss0o. .ooO. .00O Worth Now in New
 York.

New York, July 17.-More coined gold is packed away for safe keeping in New York this summer than has ever been gathered here before, prob ably more than is at this time stored in any other city on earth, excepting St Petersburg and Paris; certainly as much as the total output of all the mines in the world last year. This may seem an exaggerated statement in view of the fact that the gold out put of 1897 was the largest in history. being equal to at least $2O3, ,O0O, 900, yet it is well within the truth, since the gold coin holdings here now amount to between $20O,000.O00 and $210,0OO,- 900, and are probably nearer the larger than the smaller figure. Moreover and this statement is still more sur prising-the worlds visible supply of gold, estimated by the officials of the New York assay office, though now larger than ever before, amounts only to a little more than $5,00O, ,OOO, 900, both coined and uncoined, so that, ac- cepting $200,0OO,0O0 as the measure of New York's present gold coin storage, it is quite equal to one-twenty-fifth part of all the precious yellow metal in existence.
 Though all that has been said is strictly true, the facts being gathered from the manager of the New York clearing house, the assistant treasurer of the United States, in charge of the sub-treasury here, and the superin- tendent of the assay office, it would be impossible to give exact figures as to the total amount of stored gold coin here for two reasons. First, there is no way of securing accurate reports of bank and private holdings. and. sec ond, the holdings of the United States sub-treasury and the New York clear ing house fluctuate from day to day. The functions of the clearing house include the storage of surplus gold for all the banks belonging to the asso- citation, hence it's vaults contain the bulk of all the gold coin in the city save that owned by the government. A few days ago it's storage footed up to s167 ,O00, ,000, with a few millions more in prospect On that same day the sub-treasury had s6O,0O0,O00. If the amounts of gold locked up in bank vaults and held by private individuals could be determined and the sum add ed to the enormous total, the estimate here made would undoubtedly be found below and not above the actual holdings.
 Tn addition to the. vast sums repre- sented by the figures quoted there was stored in the assay office on this day about 55,O00,00O worth of bal

sake of their health. Scurvy and mountain fever prevail on the Klon- dyke, and focd is scarce and of poor quality. Although prices have been greatly reduced, four is still held at $S per sack, and pickled butter at g per pound.
 It has been learned on reliable au- thority that the Alaska Commercial company received on the St. Paul to- night seventeen boxes of gold, each weighing 150 pounds. At conserva- tive valuation of $15 an ounce, this aggregates s3,423,000. Adding this to the amount brought down by the miners, which is now placed at over three millions, the Klondyke treasure carried by the St. Paul is not less than seven millions.

WHIPPED, BUT NOT BEATEN.
The Uncertain Policies of Spain Exas
 perating the Administration.

Washington, July 17.-Ever since the downfall of Cervera and the sur rounding of Santiago the authorities here have looked for some definite demonstration on the part of Spain in the line of peace. While there is noth- ing upon which to hinge it, really, the supposition has developed that the administration and the heads of the army and navy would welcome an ap- peal for negotiation.
 The war conference held today gives out the decision that this country can not wait longer upon the unsettled policies of Spain's changing cabinets. The equalization of Santiago, it was
Arizona republican., 1898-07-18

believed, would terminate matters, Madrid. On the contrary, Spain's of ficials seem determined to force this country to give them blow from which Spain can never recover.
 An old diplomat, speaking of the sit uation today, first making sure that his identity should not be revealed, said:
 With other repre- of na- tions, I have felt bound to remain at the capital during this hot weather with the object in view of being in immediate readiness to respond to any call Spain might be disposed to make upon my country for it's good offices in an effort to bring about peace. Every foreign nation having 8 repre- sentative in this country would look for instant reply of readiness at any time, day or night, to comply with such request or prayer
 It IS not now, nor has it been from the commencement of this war. the intention of any foreign nation to in- terfere unwarrantedly By that I mean without request first made by one of the belligerents.
 But we might as well have been of to the delightful coast resorts, enjoy ing ourselves in the breezes of the salt seas, for any good we have so far been able to accomplish.
 With full knowledge I state that Spain has been almost implored to adopt the only attitude left, that of sultor for peace. Also with full knowl- edge state that Spain seems to be determined that the United States hav- Ing placed her on her back shall now proceed to choke her to the death. I cannot for the life of me puzzle out any plan for your country other than the one Spain is apparently SO anxious for.
 The conference held ;here this beautiful Sunday morning has result ed, do not doubt, in an acceptance of tha situation. If it is true. as I am told, that General Miles has been or dered to Porto Rico direct from Sanoi- ago, then we may look for a further chastisement of the foolish Spaniard. and the only sympathy other nations will feel like extending will be di- rected to the slain and injured who were unfortwnate in the selection of those above 'them.'
 There is not now the slightest doubt or the intention of those in charge of our war matters. The general plan adopted will be pushed forward with all the skill and rapidity possible to bring about speedy and telling results

THE AFTERMATH OF WAR.

Many had fallen by the way side The town of Santiago presents a dismal sight. Most If the houses have been sacked and the stores have all been footed and nothing to eat can be had for love or money.

ABOUT CARRANZA.

Montreal, July 17.-Many runners are affoat about Carranza. It is stated positively that he did not sail with Senor DuBosc, but was impersona.sd by some unknown person With some apparent authority others state that the Spanish spy certainly sailed on the ship with the senor.
 One thing is sure enough. It is that there is mystery attending. Carr ranza is not to be found. He is not heard of as being in any part of the Dominion Whether he has been kid naped and captured by the United States secret service officials, or still remains in Canada, or has sailed for Spain are open questions, each one furnishing sufficient interest to agitate those most interested, and tn public mind until some new excitement dis pels it of its novelty.

to use Spanish transports for this work, the fear being expressed that the use of American vessels would re- suit in rendering them dangerous for use in moving American troops on ac- count of the exposure of the Spaniards to yellow fever.

Unques1on- ably there is enough more gold in New York at this time to raise the total to sS00,000.000, or one-third more than the worlds output in the year of greatest production Lss
