Report of Hard Fighting Before
Telegraph Was Cut.
PEACE COMMISSIONERS
Gen, Otis Not Disposed to Treat
With Them Again.
GILMORE'S PARTY SAFE

MANILA. May 2. 6:O5 p.m-Major Gen
: al Lawton was engaged IN hard fighting
carly this morning. Telegraphic communi-
cation was cut at o'clock, and there have
been no reports from General Lawton since
that time.
Peace Commissioners Return.
Major Manuel Arguelles and Lieut.. Jose
Bernal OF the staff of Gen. Antonio Luna
returned here today TO renew and press the
request Of General Luna for cessation of
hostilities. They have found the field of
labor a most uncongenial one.
The two officers were received In confer
ence by Major General E. s. Otis. The
proposals which they had to submit diff
fered but slightly from those which they
brought from the Filipino commander in
the first place. They desired a little time
IN which to summon congress, and ex-
pressed themselves as being confident that
the congress will decree peace, because the
people desire 1t. They represent that
Aguinaldo is without power to surrender
the army. and that the congress must de-
eide that question.
Incidentally. the FYlipinos asserted that
AguinaIdo had not yet made a fair test of
bis strength against the American forces,
because only one-third of his army had
been assembled together.
They presented a letter from Senior Ma
bini, president and minister of foreign af-
fairs in the cabinet of AguinaIdo, and who
Is the backbone of the Filipino organization
The communication is personal and I'M
official. and seconds Major ArgueIIes' argu-
ments.
Will See Otis Again.
The ervoys viii see Gen. Otis again to-
morrow. They will sleep tonight in Ma
Mia They lunched with Gen Macarthur
at his headquarters on a car of the ar
mOred train at Calumpit before coming to
Manila. Whether or not Gen. Luna is sin
cere in his overtures. the negotiations are
giving the insurgents a much needed on
portunity to rehabAitate their demoralized
forces
The truth is that diSSensiOn among the
leaders of the rebels is helping on the dis
organization Of the Filipino army almost as
much as the American campaign.
In the course Of the conference with the
Filipino ENJOYS Gen. Otis agreed with the
statement Of Maj. ArgueIles that the people
Of the Philippine Islands wanted peace,
and ne added that requests for peace are
pouring in upon him from all parts of the
country.

The QUAY CASE.
1t Went to the Jury This Afternoon With
out Testimony for the Defense.

Philadelphia. April 2o-The defense
announced this morning that it would
submit the Quay case on the testimony
for the prosecution, but would argue
the case.
The district attorney said that there
might be no direct evidence but there
should be no doubt of a conspiracy. He
laid great stress upon the fact that the
"red book" came into existence in 1891
co-incident with a paragraph of the law
creating state bank examiners from
whom, he argued, Hopkins would wish
to keep his Illicit transactions secret.
Shields followed for the defense. He
argued that political conspiracy
against Quay was begun when Judge
Gordon got from the receiver of the
broken bank the books and letters found
in the dead cashiers private desk.
Letter from Quay to Hopkins, he said,
represented ordinary business transac-
tionS. He directed the most whitening
sarcasm against the smallness of the
minds of men who would use the ''plum
tree" telegram against public man, in
view of the fact that Quay had more
than S6O,0OO of his own money on de-
posit and $4,000 of this was used as a
margin in the transaction. The case
went to the jury at 3;05 p. N.

ALLEGED SHEEP THIEVES.
Five Valencia County Men Decoyed to
Santa Fe and Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Huber this afternoon
arrested five Valencia county residents
accused Of sheep stealing. The men ar
rested are Epifanio Chaves. Miguel
Aguerro, Narciso Gomez, Anastacio Ro-
nero and Juan Serna. The deputy has
been trying for months to find these men
and has been in Valencia county several
times for that purpose. Upon one oc
casion month ago he arrested four
men in Valencia county and recovered
500 sheep he states, but the men whom
he arrested in the plaza, he was unable
to find until today.
The deputy states that he worked
ruse in order to get the men to come to
Santa Fe. He served civil papers upon
their families, and as all the men have
little property they came today to
answer the summons. Huber then
automatically corralled them on the
plaza and called Hank Fisher to give
them free ride in coach, and put
them into the county jail.
The warrant for the arrest of the men
was made out by Judge McFie on the
information of Mauricio Gomez, of Va
lencia county, who claims that $50 of
his sheep valued at $400 were stolen.

NEW MEXICO MINES
LINCOLN COUNTY


The Helen Ray, at Nogal and the ia :
nous Parsons on the Bonito, have al
ready been stricken from the long list
of purchasable properties, and will
both be operating at wonderful profit
as soon as the railroad now being built
is near enough to begin shipping their
ore to the smelters.
Old Abe is the most remarkable mine
near White Oaks 1t was located in
1888, and has been worked by it's pres
ent owners since 1890. The new COM
partment shaft is 1850 feet deep. From
$50 to 900 feet all the work was in ore,
and at 1850 feet the pay streak was
found with very short drift. All lev
els run north about 200 feet, and show
very regular vein from inches to 13
inches wide, with an average value of
$175 per ton. A number of seams from
the vein have been followed, and large
pockets of free milling ore have been
found Near the surface beautiful spec
linens of wire gold in gypsum were
found The present management is in
the hands of one of the principal own
ers, j. Y. Hewitt. Development is kept
well in advance of the stopping neces-
sary to supply the 20-stamp mill, which
gets about 20 per cent Of the value on
the plates. The tailings will go to 80
ton cyanide plant, just completed.
There are estimated to be 10000 tons of
tailings on hand, estimated to yield
about SO per ton. The mine is said to
have produced $650,000.
A mining company is preparing to
run tunnel from the Bonito to Nogal
canon, a distance of three miles. This
tunnel will interest a great number OF
rich mineral bearing veins, which crop
out on the surface.
The Parsons NINE on the Bonito, is
very rich in gold The ore is free mill
ing, and the ridge on which it is To-
Gated is one large placer field. The dirt
at grass roots pans gold in paying
quantities.
GRANT COUNTY.
At the Santa Rita copper mine $50
men are at work, and all through Grant
county new mines are being opened and
old ones worked.
A pocket of high-grade ore was
struck in the Emma mine in the Cop
per Flat district.
The concentrating plant Of Crawford
& Derbyshire, at Santa Rita, has COM
menced operations. The machinery is
Of the latest and most improved kind.
The plant has a capacity Of Is to 100
tons day, and gives employment to
Is men.
In the Santa Rita district 100 shafts
have been sunk by the present work

A NEW COPPER CAMP.
A Santa Fe Party Locates Claims and Will
Develope.

Ex-Governor Prince, Hon. Amado
Chaves and Stephen Easton have re-
turned to Santa Fe from five days
trip through Rio Arriba county. They
were accompanied on their journey by
Francisco Chavez. of Abiquiu. They
visited the newly found copper camp
situated few miles southwest of Coy
ote, in Rio Arriba county and found
excellent indications, but not much de-
velopment. The party located num-
ber Of very promising claims and their
visit will probably result in considerable
work Being done during this season.
Timber and water are plentiful in the
vicinity of the camp. There is much
snow in the mountains. This has COM
menced to melt and the Chama river is
very high.
The party also visited the placer min
ing location on the Chama river and
were much interested in the operation
of the floating steam dredge which is
working there with such success.

QUAY'S CHANCE.
The Pennsylvania Legislature May Hav'
An Extra Session.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 20.-The gen
eral assembly of 1899 adjourned finally
at noon to-dav, after having been in
session three and half months. I'm
less Governor Stone calls an extra ses-
sion, at which there should be an cleo
tion of senator, Pennsylvania will have
States senate for the next two years.
On account Of failure of the legislature
to pass such legislation as would wipe
out deficiency of $S5,0OO,00O in the
state treasury and cover the estimated
ordinary expenses Of the state govern
ment for the next two years, it is not
improbable that an extra session will
be called.
