DEWEY AT COLOMBO cEYLoN.
The American Admiral Received
With Due HOnOr-Presented
With Silver Caskct.

Colombo, Ceylon, June 23.-The
United States cruiser Olympia, with
Admiral Dewey on board, arrived
here at p. M, from Singapore, June
Is, saluted the forts ashore and was
saluted by the latter in return.
An aide-de-camp representing the
governor of Ceylon, Rt. Hon. Sir Jo-
seph West Ridgeway, boarded the Olym-
pia, at seven o'clock, in order to wei
come Admiral Dewey, and Col. Say
age, commanding the troops, called at
ten o'clock. The visits were returned
by Admiral Dewey later. He was re-
ceived at the jetty by a guard of hon
or, and, amidst cheering, drove in the
governors carriage to breakfast with
Col. Savage. The admiral afterwards
booked rooms at the Galloface hotel
and returned on board the Olympia at
one O'Clock. There he received depu-
tation representing the Planters as
ISOLATION and the chamber of COM
merce and was presented with sill
yer casket and an address as a me-
mento of his visit.
The admiral will remain in Ceylon
about a week. He says he had good
voyage from Singapore and that his
health is fairly good.
The presentation of the casket to
Admiral Dewey was made on board
the Olympia, instead of in the council
chamber, because his doctor had for
hidden him to participate in any Of
fetal function. The delegates also
presented 1000 pounds of tea to the
Of OlUnnia
The admiral, replying to the address
OF welcome, said he wished he could
reply in adequate terms, reciprocating
the sentiments expressed. But, he
added. he spoke from his heart when
he said he deeply appreciated the well
come.

ABSURD GOLDITE CLAIMS.
There Would BE No Flood of Euro
pean Silver if Our MINIS
Were Opened.

The opposition threatens us with a
flood of European silver upon our re-
opened minis. We answer, Europe
has no silver but her silver money.
Her silver money values silver at from
three to seven cents on the dollar high
er than ours. Hence the European mer-
chant or banker must sacrifice from
three to seven per cent. of his full legal
tender money in order to recon it at
our mints. Europe's silverware, like
Americas silverware, carries in it the
additional value of labor and the manu-
facturer's profit. They threaten us
with flood of silver from the far east.
We answer that the course of silver is
invariably eastward, and never toward
the west. British India is a perpetual
sink of silver, absorbing it, never to
return, by f, I'M $50, O0O, 900 to SEQ, o0o, 900
sorption of silver will be enlarged by
the steadiness of the price of silver
fixed by our reopened minis. They
threaten US with sudden retirement
of S600,0o0,000 gold, with the accom-
panying panic, causing contraction.
We answer that our total stock of gold,
other than about SO, 900, 900 or SIS, O00,-
600 circulating on the Pacific coast, is
already in retirement. Practically all
our gold is in the United States treas
ury or held by banks. The gold in the
treasury will remain there if the Sec
eretary avails himself of his option to
redeem United States notes in silver.
The gold in the banks constitutes the
quiet and undisturbed portion of their
reserves against liabilities. 1t will con-
tinue to do money duty as such reserves
after free coinage for silver is enacted.
Hence premium on it will not con-
tract the currency. The utmost pos
sible contraction of the currency will
be the few millions circulating on the
Pacific coast. and this would be retired
but slowly, if at all.-Illinois State Req

ARGlEL[E'S PUNISHMENT.
The Filipino Congress Sentenced
Him to Death and Then Com
muted the Sentence.

Col. ArguelIes One of the Most Con-
sentative and Respected Men
Identified With the InSurrectiOn
Gen. Pro Del Pillars Brass Band
Captured.

Manila, June %, 7:3O p. m.-De-
tails of the sentencing of Col Ar
guelles, Filipino commissioner, to IL
years imprisonment, have just been
obtained here. 1t was first reported
that his condemnation by the Filipi
nos was due to the friendship he dis
played towards Americans, but the in
formation just received shows the ac-
cusation against him was not based
on his peace conferences at Manila,
as supposed. They confirm President
Schureman's belief in his sincerity,
and show that his advocacy of auton-
omy among the insurgents was treat
ed as treason.
Charge Against the Colonel.
The charge against the colonel was
that in conversation with Filipino of
fcers he predicted that disorders with
in the insurgent territory would lead
to civil war. and, therefore, he said
he considered autonomy under the
Americans preferable to Independence.
The Filipino congress tried him on the
charge of treason, and heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally, the
colonel was sentenced to death, but
this was committed to II years i'm
prisonment on account of his previous
service to the cause, after an eloquent
plea upon the part of his counsel.
A Conservative Man.
! Col. Arguelles is one of the most
conservative and respected men iden-
tilted with the instruction. The reb-
els have learned that the American
volunteers are returning to the Unit
, ed States, and the Filipino newspa-
rers show that they construe this to
mean that the Americans are aban-
tioning the war, and are encouraged
! thereby.

boldt
Brought Considerable Wealth.
There were about $50 of them, and a
few of them brought considerable dust.
Others were reported to have drafts
for large amounts, while some came
home without riches. No accurate
estimate of the amount CO the gold
dust can be made, for the reason that
the figures given by the different pas
sengers vary widely, ranging all the
way from $25O,0OO to $5O0,oOO. Still
more divergent are the eonjectures as
to the amount, including drafts and
dust. The estimates range from $780,
900 to 100000.
Purser Carroll claims that he had
in his custody $2SO,O00 in dust, and es-
Inmates that there was about $500, 1000
more in the different state rooms not
turned over to him.
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon
$150,OOO worth of dust had been de-
posted in the United States essay

Quiet Times in Dawson.
Times are very quiet in Dawson, and
there are many idle men there. James
S. Clark, of Victoria, estimates that at
least 10000 will come out this sum-

men going in. Michael White, an old
California miner, reports that there

so many of his brethren everywhere, has
had weary time trying to build up prac-

In company with friend, he had occa-

customers, he could not get his business
transacted at once. After considerable de-

complained irritably OF the Inconvenience
to which they were subjected.

FIG CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.
Partially Successful Experiments
Indicate the Early Success
of the Industry.

Washington, June 26.-The agricul.
tural department has issued a bulletin
treating of the probable success of the
department in establishing the Smyr-
ma fig industry in California. 1t APP
pears that the fruiting of the Smyrna
fig is dependent upon the introduce
ton from Europe. and the establish
ment in California of a little insect
which fertilizes the fig. Experimental
introductions of the insect were ther'-
upon begun, and some brought over in
1898, succeeded in fructifying the
closed flowers of the Capri figs grow
ing at Fresno, making the first step
OF the experimental work a success.
The bulletin adds:
''Since the insect has maintained it
self for an entire year, there is reason
to suppose that it will continue TO
breed, and that California. in the near
future, will be able to place fig upon
the market which will possess the
same superior flavor as that which has
given the imported Smyrna figs their
