HOPKINS IS
AFTER THE
SPEAKERSHIP
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May pa Washington
special to the Herald says: Represen-
tative Hopkins of Illinois is one of the
candidates for Speaker who believes
the contest will be settled long before
next December. He is conducting a
campaign which he confidently believes
will result IL his own favor before
July /.
Mr.. Hopkins is not content with writ
ing letters to colleagues He believes
personal interviews are more effective,
and it is his purpose to follow up com
munications with personal calls upon
members at their homes He has made
visits to Wisconsin and Kansas. after
having made sure of the delegation
from his own State, and is now conf
dent that the delegations of these two
States can be placed to his credit.
Representative Hopkins is in Wash
ington just now to catch any stray
Representatives who may be here. He
had a long interview with the President
to-day and will leave soon for work in
other directions.
One of the main arguments Mr. Hop
kins uses in behalf Of his candidacy is
that Illinois has become the pivotal
State in politics, and upon holding it
may depend the continuance Of the Re-
publican party in power
'At this time" he says, illinois is a
doubtful State. The great city of Chi
cago has a Democratic Mayor, and If
the election occurred at this time no
hodv can safely predict what the result
would be. Under these circumstances
Representatives must feel that they
should take Illinois into consideration
and do whatever they can to
strengthen the party there. The loss of
the State would be very serious thing,
and any uncertainty there should be
guarded against as far as possible.
IF Illinois were given the Speaker
ship State pride would operate to make
the people stand by the party which
had honored the State, and would, l
believe, take Illinois out Of the doubt

SAN DIEGO, May 22.-Allan G. Fra
ser, a Los Angeles mining man, ar

covered placer fields in the Santa Clara
district. 400 miles south of this city
He confirmed the reports of the Won
derful richness of the diggings and said
miners were f1ocking to the camp from
all directions. He saw nuggets taken
out worth $500. and nearly all the Mexi-
cans possessed either dust or nuggets.
The placers are located about twenty
miles inland from San Pablo Bay, and
the ground thus far opened covers an
area of about twenty square miles. The
territory beyond has not been thor
oughly prospected. Mr.. Fraser said:
Il have no desire to connect my name
with a fake story and thereby cause
many people to invest their all possibly
in an effort to reach q mythical field.
l found the placers quite as rich as had
been reported, and 1 can say that the
Santa Clara placers are in my estima-
ton among the richest ever discovered.
There were about 300 Mexicans and In
dians working the placers when L left,
and they were taking out an average of
from SIS to 500 a day
Not far from the diggings I met a
party of MeXicans who exhibited con-
siderable gold They had about $25. 900
worth and declared that there was
plenty more where that came from. The
nearest water is ten miles away, and il
is only by the crudest methods Of dry
washing that the gold is obtained.

Santa Rosa copper mines for the new

camp it was necessary to go to Mulege,
a distance of about 100 miles, to file

THE diggings are located on govern
ment land, and under the Mexican
laws man may file on as many acres
as he wishes by paying $40 on each
pertenencia, which is three acres, and
paying taxes. This may prove a seri-
Gus drawback to the district, as
company could come in and file on the
whole district The gold, however, is
there in enormous quantities, and may
be had without the privation and suf-
ferings that must be contended with in
Alaska.
THE best way to reach the diggings
is from San Pablo Bay. There is a
fairly good trail from there to the
camp, and drinking water may be had

Brooke and Gomez Having
Agreed Cuban Soldiers
Are to Be Paid.
MUST GIVE UP ARMS
4 American Commissioners to Proceed
With the Distribution of Money
to Former Rebels.

Special Dispatch to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1899. by James Cor
don Bennett.
1 AVANA, May 22.-The cloud
of uncertainty that has been
hanging over Cuban affairs was
dissipated to-day as the result of
long conference between Generals
Brooke and Gomez, and there is no
reason why the 100000 fund
should not be distributed and the
arms surrendered unless unexpected
opposition develops among officers
and soldiers.
General Brooke viii issue his order
tomorrow. 1t distinctly states that an
agreement has been reached between
Generals Brooke and Gomez and the
money will be distributed by the Amer
ican Commissioners previously desig-
nated-Rafferty, Randall and Bisbee.
The arms are to be turned over to the
civil Governors Of provinces wherein
the soldiers reside or TO Mayors The
only change from the agreement of a
week ago is a clause stating that at
such future time as may be designated
the arms are to be placed in the Cuban
arsenals at Havana and Santiago.
Undoubtedly an understanding has
been reached between Brooke and
Gomez that Gomez will be responsible
for the arms surrendered.
General Gomez states that everything
is satisfactory. He asked me to deny
the statement made in the American
press that President Mckinley had
written TO him refusing to consider his
proposition for organizing the Cuban
army Of occupation. He has not heard
from President Mckinley on the mat
ter but understands that he is con-
sidering 1t.
1t is generally thought here that the
distribution of money and collection of
arms VIII now go on without a show of
resistance on the part of the soldiers.
The long delay and repeated bitches
have caused much bitterness among
the chiefs, and some will advise the
men to go home without the money and
with their arms, but 1t is thought the
number responding will be small. The
greatest cause of dissatisfaction among
the chiefs is that they receive no extra
money.
The American Commissioners began
the work to-day in instructing Gov
ernors and Mayors in the method of re-
CeiVing and storing arms
