Only Way of ObViating the Present
Shortage of Currency.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-''The
amount of gold which the government
now holds is higher N average than for
any previous month"; said an official Of
the treasury department today THE to-
tai on hand yesterday was $246, $685. 1897. We
are receiving more gold in the ordinary
treasury receipts and paying out more in
the disbursements of the government
than ever before. More than 70 per cent
Of the payments in the last fiscal year
were in gold, against less than per cent
III the previous year. Nearly % per cent
of the receipts last year We're in gold, as
against per cent the previous year.
The country must use more gold coin
In the ordinary transactions of business.
This is the only solution to the problem
confronting some of the banks caused by
the stringency of the currency in the
East The treasury has done all in it's
power to provide against a currency fam
Inc. 1t was realized months ago that the
increasing demands of business would
call for more money. The treasury took
precautions to have all denominations of
notes ready for exchanges, and stands
prepared at all times to issue small de-
nominations of currency in exchange for
larger.
Banks are complaining against the
treasury for the famine in currency. We
are not to blame We are not boarding
dollar of currency today. We have put
into circulation the full amount authoriz-
ed by law, and retaining in the vaults
only the barest margin necessary for the
redemption Of mutilated notes"

TALK OF GOMEZ.

Said the Cuban Leader Has Asptra-
lions In San Domingo.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-By the as
sass1Eat1on of President Heureaux, of
San Domingo, Cuba may lose one of it's
central figures, as it is well known Gen.
Maxine Gomez asp1res to the presidency
of the black republic
Some time ago Gen. Gomez issued a.
manifesto to the Cuban army in which he
bade his soldiers good-by and signifed
his intention to return to San Domingo,
his native land. AS Gomez's love for ad-
venture and fighting for what ne calls lib
erty are we'll known, 1t is believed he will
start for San Domingo at once, organize
an army and endeavor to fight his way
to the presidency. Gomez is a good or
ganizer, and those who came in contact
with him in Cuba say he is one of the best
soldiers in Cuba and he has the tenacity
to stick to a cause until it triumphs The
old general knows he will not be chosen
president OF Cuba, If that island ever had
president, as it is believed the constitu-
ton of Cuba will closely follow that of
the United States and provide that only
native Cubans can be elected to the high
est office.
This bar will not confront Gen. Gomez
in San Domingo, as he was born on that
island and his family still reside there.
Although Gomez has been absent from
San Domingo for number of years, he
still claims it as his home, and this claim
will undoubtedly hold good. AS 1t Is
natural for troops to flock to a successful
soldier it would not be surprising if Gen.
Gomez should organize a large army and,
within short time, find himself within
the presidential chair.

DISPUTE AT REST.
Boundary Question Quieted for
Some Months by Negotiations.

Boundary Question Quieted for
Some Months by Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-The
state department admits that 1t and the
foreign office in London are working on
two lines Of negotiations regarding the
Alaskan boundary, and that one of these
is the proposed free port privileges to be
granted to the Canadians at some point
on the Lynn canal 1t is denied, how
ever that the proposition goes so far as
to ALLEVIATE any territory of the United
States in the sense that 1t would require
an act of congress to confirm it. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian premier,
in an interview says he knows nothing
about such a proposition. 1t is there
fore assumed here that the Brit
isr foreign office is not consulting
the Canadians regarding the proposition,
and that there is little hope of any COM
promise that does not include Canadian
agreement. When this offer of free port
privileges was made in the joint high
commission the Canadians rejected 1t.
What other proposition is to go with
this one for free port privileges to make
its granting by the Canadian govern
ment more than a sop to the Canadians
to keep them quiet, the state department
is not ready to say, but it is conceded
that Great Britain must agree to the
correctness of the American contention
that no part of the Lynn canal falls
within the line of Canadian Jurisdiction.
To grant free port privileges on the ca
nal without some such acknowledgment
from the other side would be no advance
toward a settlement, but simply a sur
render to Canada of the most valuable
privilege in the whole contention, an out,
let for the Klondike. This is the only
real point of value in the Canadian claim
and to give her an outlet to the ocean
through free port, even though only
leased for a term of years, might quiet
her for time, but it would not be any
advance toward settlement of the Alas
kan boundary dispute. The Willingness
of the British foreign Office to consider
this proposition for free port for the
Canadians is not regarded as significant.

DULUTH TO THE SEA.
Proposed Canal to Connect Lake
Ports With Those of Europe.


NEW YORK, July 2S.-When Gov.
Roosevelt meets the legislature next jan
uary he will be able to lay before that
body, with or without recommendations,
two suggestions involving the very high
est kind of practical craftsmanship af-
fecting a great deal Of the commerce to
and from the West. In fact, in these sug-
gestions may be found all that Is worth
while in the way of answer to questions
the governor himself recently put, these
being, first, whether 1t is worth while
for the state of New York any longer to
maintain her historic canal, or whether
it should be enlarged so as to make
barge canal, or, again, whether all lesser
considerations should be swept aside and
canal built which would match in size
and greatly overmatch in length the Suez
canal, comparable only with the proposed
Nicaragua canal in extent from terminal
to terminal.
1t so happens that one of the most prac-
teal of all the statesmen this state has
known, Abram S. Hewitt, has made a
suggestion that was made public on the
very day when an engineer of great abil-
ity made his report at Albany of sur
Vey for genuine ship canal, which, If
constructed, will make it possible for
ocean steamships to go directly from
Chicago CT Duluth to Liverpool, or any
other port in the world.
Although Mr.. Wewitt seems to be of
the opinion that the Erie canal has had
it's day, vet that opinion is not incon-
sistent with the recommendations made
by the state engineer, especially instruct
ed to make a survey OF a feasible route
for a true ship canal from Lake Erie to
the Atlantic ocean. In a general way
the report made by this engineer George
W. Ratfer, does not differ from tentative
suggestions made by David B. Hill when
he was governor of this state. Mr.. Hill
was Of the opinion that early in the TWEEN
tieth cetnury New York state would be
compelled to decide whether the Erie
canal was to be so enlarged as to make
1t possible for a steamship capable of
crossing the ocean to pass through it, or
whether the locks should be shut down,
water drained out and the canal aban-
doned, perhaps to some private corpora
ton, which would make a smooth, level
road crossing the state from Albany to

SAVANNAH CUP RACE.
American Challenges Constance
Was the Winner.


DORVAL, Que, July 2S.-The first race
for the Seawanhaka cup today resulted
In a victory for the American challenger.
Constance, over the Canadian defender,
Glencairn H., by two minutes fifteen
seconds. The result was a surprise to
the large crowd of Montrealers who were
present at the course to see the race.
After considerable n1aneuvering about
the starting point the preparatory gun
was fired at las, and ten minutes later
the whistle blew for the start. The Con-
stance crossed the line first, followed
by Glencairn Just a second later.
A noticeable feature of the race was in
going around the buoys the Glencairn
got her Spinnaker out Immediately while
the. Constance was much slower, cover
ing fifteen to twenty yards before doing
1t. There was a straight gain of at least
five seconds for the Canadian yacht in
this single instance. The Glencairn ran
much faster before the wind, her large
spinnaker giving her this advantage, but
the American boat pointed much the
best. The moderate southwest breeze Of
the morning stiffened slightly as the day
progressed, but again moderated some
what.
Today's race showed that the Ameri-
can boat has the advantage in the lighter
wind and in beating TO windward she

MADRID, July 2S.-The trial Of Gems.

war, has signed a deposition to the eff
feet that he gave Gen. Toral permission
to surrender all the district under his
command, with the exception of Man
zan1llo. The defense also relies upon a
telegram from Gen. Linares, Gen. ToraTs
predecessor, which was sent after Gen.
Linares had been wounded, appealing to
the nation to say if the troops at San
tiago had not maintained the honor Of
the army intact and adding:
If it is necessary that a sacrifice be
made, and that some one must assume
responsibility for the events foreseen and
foretold In my dispatches, 1 offer myself.
