The joint meeting of the Cham

Association, and citizens was call
ed to order at 2:30 this afternoon,
n hear the report of the commit
tee on the Cyanide litigation.
Chairman Graham read the report,

explained that the amount of mon
CIV now constituting the difference
between the parties in controversy
was given them in confidence, and
hence it was not stated in the re-
port. Following is the full text of
the committees report:
FLORENCE, CoIo., Feb. 10, 80.
To the Business Mems Associa-
ton, Chamber of Commerce and
Citizens of Florence:
Your committee would make the
following report concerning its eff
forts to arrange an amicable settle
ment of the difficulties now pend
ing between the Florence Oil and
Refining company and the Metallic
Extraction company.
After a conference with the rep
resentatives of both sides, your
committee arranged for meeting
to take place between the inter
ested parties; this meeting was
held in Denver on the Sth inst.
AT this joint meeting a definite
proposition was submitted by the
representative of he Florence
Oil and Refining company. This
embodied the sale of sufficient land
and privileges concerning Six Mile
Creek to enable the Metallic Ex
traction company to prosecute
their industry without let or him
drance. A further proposition was
made Offering the sale of the tract
of land now in dispute and certain

Creek. This would also allow of
the successful prosecution by the
Cyanide company of their indus
try.
Both of these tenders were re-
ceived by the representative of the
Metallic Extraction company; but,
owing to the absence of some of
the principals of the Metallic Ex-
traction company, was taken under
advisement.
Both parties are willing to effect
a settlement and are ready to en-
terrain any further suggestions
from this community, should it
see fit to offer such. 1t is now a
question of the amount of money
involved that keeps them apart.
Your committee hopes that both
sides will see it to be to their in
terest to make some compromises,
thus reaching a final agreement.
We desire to express our high
appreciation of the cordial recep-
ton given to us by all parties con-
cerned and to say that the courtesy
and consideration shown by Mr..
Gumaer and Mr.. Argall leads us to
hope that in the near future a
happy settlement will be reached.

hours. Brigadier General Otis
was in command of the troops and
was assisted by the monitor Con

and line of artillery.
The troops charged the intrench-

gallantry. The insurgent loss was
very heavy, while ours was proper
tionately light.
The insurgents had been mass
ing their forces at Calocan since
Monday. The American lines ex-
tended to within short distance
of Calocan, but no attack was
made until this afternoon, General

At $50 the Concord and Monad-

Only one flag staff was found in
the city, it being on the house of
an Englishman. This was quickly
brought into service, and, amidst
the widest cheers, the American
flag was raised over the city.
As the troops entered the town,
they discovered a band of natives
hiding in thicket, probably in
tending to make an attack from the
rear. A few volley however, from
the American guns caused them to
flee from their hiding place.
The loss on the insurgent side
was very heavy. Their casualties
were caused for the most part by
