LOWER CALIFORNIA FEVER
Old Mines Are Desert. for inc
 New PIaCerS.

San Francisco, May 29.-A report from Guaymas and way ports, states that when the passengers left Enssna- da, the place was in a ferment over new gold discoveries in Lower Califor- mia. It was impossible to get teams for hauling the Ensenada people. and the Yborra sold mine was compelled to close down in consequence of all miners having deserted and emigrated to the new diggings.
 F. Andonaegui. passenger on the Curacao, says: ''The most authentic reports which have come from. the placers, say the yield averages from half an ounce to two ounces a day. The stuff is said to be about 900 fine. The day we left Ensenada the steamer Carlos Pacheco sailed with sixty men for the new Giggings.
 The placers are three miles long by a mile in width. The only water at hand is a small hole called Coyote springs. There is good water and plenty of it eight miles away"

The Hague, May 29.-A brief official record Of the doings of the peace con ference during the last week says: Provisional proposals for mediation and arbitration have been submitted by the reports of Russia, Great Brit ain, Italy and the United States
 The correspondent here of the Asso- ciated Press learns that the statement that the Americans have submitted an arbitration proposal is incorrect. Pro posals fer a permanent tribunal are not ready, as the French translation is necessary. It will prob1bly be suo- mitted Wednesday.
 The drafting committee or of the arbitration committee met today and dis cussed the Russian scheme, adopt ing, with slight notifications, the first six articles.
 Count Nigra, chief of the Italian delegation, submitted a proposal of mediation and arbitration consisting of six articles, in the form of an amendment to the Russian project.
 The Americans also submitted an amendment, demanding that, in the event of dispute between two nations they should choose another nation to act as arbitrator to settle differences without bloodshed This must not be confounded with the proposal for arbitration tribunal, which the Americans will introduce during the week. The Italian proposal in cludes a clause providing that media tion and arbitration shall not step or preparations for war Neither the American nor Italian has yet been discussed.

EMpHATIC ON pOLYGAMY
Apostle Lyman'S Discussion of the
 Utah Subject.

Kancsh Utah., May 29.-The denial Of Pres: dent Lorenzo Snow on the su3- ject of plural marriage was repeated and emphasized by Apostle Francis M Lyman at Beaver where overflow meetings were necessary to acconno- date the throng of special conference visitors last night.
 The meetings lasted until after 10 o'clock. After urging obedience to the tithing law and appealing to the saints for their earnest support in the plan of liquidaing church indebted ness, Apostle Lyman said: q want to declare unto this people that plural marriage is not live ordinance in he church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day- Saints today. The law has been taken from us, and the practice is suspended by the manifesto of President W:lford Woodruff. Even before that was is sued we find that cnly per cent of the people accepted of the doctrine, al- though our leaders were bounded and persecuted year after year.
 "Again 1 say it has been suspended, and,' continued the apostle in great earnestness, ''I challenge any man to say it has been encouraged by the leaders or officers of this church since the manifesto came forth. I, as an apostle in this church, have been con suited hundreds of times by faithful believers as to the law of plural mar 1,a age, and my answer to them has in- varfably been that it could not be done; that plural marriage had ceased in the church of God at his own com mand. My associates will testify to the same experience, but the time is coming when God will have t other wise"

THE DREYFUS CASE
The Civil Section Argues for
 Revision.

Paris, May 29.-The court of cassa-
 tion met today to hear the debate on l the application for revision of the Dreyfus case. The doors of the palace
 of justice were opened at Il o'clock Persons connected with the case newspaper men and others began to arrive a half hour previously. There
 was much animation in the Hobbies, but the crowds in the vicinity were not large. Extensive precautions were taken to preserve order.
 Proceedings were commenced a. noon. Amid profound silence the president of the civil section Jf the court read his report on the case and after recalling the contentious under which the prosecution of Dreyfus was instituted in 1894, he dealt with the contradictory evidence of the experts in handwriting, and mentioned the protest of his innocence by Dreyfus.
 M. Ballot Beaupre, in reviewing the judicial history of the case, said It now rested with the court to pro- nounce judgment. He upheld the statement that there was sufficient presumption that doubts and errors existed and that they justified a re- vision of the case. He examined the different cases in which the court could arnul a sentence without re- trial, and said in his opinion, the court ought not to consider the idea of an- nulling the sentence. but should only consider a revision of it. The hearing of arguments was adjourned without any incident worth noting, at six o'clock.
 While the Dreyfus case was pro- ceeding in one part Of the palace of justice the assize court on the other side of the building was occupied with the trial of M. Deroulede and Marcel Habert, who are charged with melting soldiers to insubordination on the day of the elscticn of President Loubet. The audience in the court cheered NJ. DerouIede and M. Habert, and cried: Here is jury of acquittal' when the jurymen entered Murmurs were heard when the charges against the prisoners were read

and it's abandonment will cut all the revenue off the two tribes of Indians. who are not on friendly terps. It is thought by the residents There that the removal of the troops will witness an open outbreak between the two tribes.
 Another ground for fear is that the treaty with the Indians has about ex- pired and with no treaty it is ba- lieved that they will prey upon the stock of the settlers, which will bring on conflict with them and the In dians. The people say that the gov ernment does not half feed the Indians and having but little knowledge of ag- ricuiture they will be great source of annoyance in a great many ways with out the restraint of a troop of soldiers stationed among them.

tnes, however suffered, especially those having close relations with the colonial trade The imports of raw
 cotton fell from S5,7O5, ,O52 pesetas in
 1897 to 73,SO7, ,9S9 in 1898, the decrease being due to a crisis in the Spanish
 cotton factories which had supplied
 so large share of their production to
 the colonies. The export of cotton
 goods from Spain fell more than 23,-
 100000 pesetas. The loss in this
