London, April s-The Anglo-E Egyptian

Gen. Kitchener attacked the intrench-
ed position Of the dervishes at Nakeila,
on the Atbara River, this morning with
three brIgades and rushed the Zariba in

Maxim gun fire was TOO heavy for them.

strength was 1900 men, and that their
losses were 200 Mahmoud was captur-
ed. The Anglo-Egyptian loss is estimated
at 500, including two British officers kill

The authorities regard the action as
one OF the most brilliant that has ever
taken place in the Soudan. The result

New York April Sums weekly re-
view of trade tomorrow Will say:
When everybody is asking whether 1t
is to be war or peace, tie state of busi-
ness is not easy to Judge. Thus far
scarcely any stoppage whatever of man
ufacturing concerns appears, any indi-
cations that the producing force is likely
to be diminished, nor is any such symp-
tom to be seen in business reports
So far banking conservatism has not
caused failures which continue smaller
than for many years in March. nor has it
caused stoDpage of any manufacturing
concerns, nor lessened the volume OF
business reported by railroads in ton
mage or clearings at principal ports. In
five weeks Chicago eastboGnd tonnage
has been I's,2I1 tons, more than double
last years, and Il per cent larger than
in 1892 Rates are lower and tonnage Is
more largely of low class freights. but
the quantities of products moved are
enormous. Payments through principal
clearing houses are 21.S per cent larger
for the week and z per cent larger than
last year and 3.S per cent larger than in
1892, Notwithstanding a great fall in
prices of commodities in six years
Railroad earnings have been reduced
beyond all reason by rate-cutting and
yet have been for March 16.3 per cent
over last year and 66 per cent over 1892
all classes showing gains over both years
Even spectators who are crazy about
foreign affairs have found enough good
sense to raise the average price of rail-
way stocks about soc per share for the
week. and of trust stocks SOC per share

proves nothing.

CUBAN SOLDIERS TO GET sroo
Investigations Begun Concerning
Their Exact Number

Washington, Dec. 3O.-In an
ticipation that the government will
favorably act on the plan of
paying off the Cuban soldiers by
giving them 500 each, the Cuban
authorities here have taken steps
tosecure exact detailed information
as to the number of troops who
bore arms and are now in posi-
ton to rightly receive the bounty.
To this end one of the mem bers of
the Cuban commission, who came
here with General Garcia, has re-
turned to Cuba to get the Cuban
military and civil authorities to
furnish the papers showing the ex-
tent and number of the Cuban
army, its several divisions, present
condition, etc.

Postoffice Convenience

Washington, Dec. 3O.-The
following suggestion for general
adoption at the postffioce in all
large cities was given out at the
postoffice department today. at
is now the practice at the larger
postoffices to close the money order
business about five o'clock in the
evening. The department realizes
that many persons, particularly
those whose time is fully occupied
during the day are thus prevented
from obtaining money orders and
it has sought for some time past
to remedy this Inconvenience. A
plan recently adopted at st Louis
has proven so successful that it
will be generally introduced by
Assistant Postmaster General
Heath who has suggested that in
asmuch as clerk is on duty in
the stamp windows during all or
part of every night he may issue
money orders when application is
made therefor. At present no ar
rangement is provided for pay
ment of orders but if the measure
meets with approval of the public,
doubtless a complete system of
issue and payment will be provid-
ed for in the near future.

A Grave Charge

On complaint of the district at

perintendent of the Florence

charged with having forged a
school warrant on Nov. SO, 1887,
for $500.
Mr.. Kellar's examination will be
held in Judge Johnson's court to-
morrow morning at IL o'clock.
A representative of The Tribune
called on the professor this after
noon. He says the arrest was n
complete surprise to him, and
that he is confident he can show
in his examination that he is in
nocent of the charge.
Prof. Kellar stands high in this
community, and his many friends
hope that he may be able to show
that there has been an error made
and not a crime committed.

NEW REVENUE RULING
Release of Mortgages and Deeds

Taxation

County Clerk Liggett has re-

Revenue Howbert concerning
notifications of the revenue laws:
Denver, Dec. 81, 1898.
W. T. Liggett, County Clerk:
Dear Sir: This office is just in
receipt of the following ruling
made by the commissioner of in
ternal revenue, reversing the for
mer rulings in relation to the tax
imposed on the releases of trust
deeds and mortgages:
This Office has given careful
consideration to the question of
taxation imposed upon releases
of deeds of trust and mortgages,
in which these instruments have
been held to be subject of taxa
ton as conveyances of land re-
vesting title, and has decided to
modify the rulings heretofore
made on these documents. You
are hereby advised that releases of
mortgages and deeds of trust, con-
sidered as mortgages, are now held
to be exempt from taxation by this
Office No mattar in ubnf forp,
they are executed, whether with
the solemnity of deed, certif-
cate of satisfaction, or simply as
entry of satisfaction on the mar
gin of the record book in which
the released mortgage or deed of
trust is recorded"
Respectfully yours,
f. W. HowBERT,
Collector.
