New Yobk, Oct 22. A diepatch to the
Tribune from London savs :
The reply of the British government
to the monetary proposals by the United
States and France has been prepared by
the chancellor of the exchequer and will
probably be published in the London
press before the end of the week. It may
be summarized as a courteous refusal to
entertain the proposition eubmitted by
the two governments and an equally po
lite invitation to continue the negotia
tions. The refusal is equivocal in all
points and the invitation to go on with
the monetary diplomacy ia a transpar
ent compromise to save the feelings of
the strong minority of bimetahsts in the
cabinet.
The ministry, acting upon the invita
tion of the financial experts of the In
dian government, declines to open the
mints to silver. This was the chief con
cession that was aeked by the two gov
ertiments, and it has been refused under
various pleas of expediency and neces
sity based upon the existing conditions
of Indian finance.
The chancellor of the exchequer also
discusees the other concessions which
were considered in the various confer
ences with the' American and French
embassadors and the three envoys, and
virtually refuses to act favorably on any
of the proposals. At th6 same time he
expresses the willingness of the govern
ment to prolong the conferences and
consider any other proposals that may
be presented. He suggests no alterna
tive plan of his own, but leaves the two
governments free to act upon their own
responsibility, if they choose to open
their mints to silver or take any other
measures in the interest of bimetalism.
Those behind the scenes say that the
ministers expected very different ad
vices from the Indian experts than what
they have received.
They were prepared last summer to
order the resumption of the coinage of
silver if the Franco-American program
was adopted, and they confidently ex
pected that the experts of the Indian
government would be united on the ex
pediency of this course. When the re
ply came from the experts, Mr. Balfour,
Mr. Chapman and other convinced bi
metalists in trie cabinet were disconcert
ed, and even monometalists like Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach and Mr. Goscben
- were greatly surprised. The necessity
of acting upon the advice was apparent
to neutrals like Mr. Chamberlain aDd
the Duke of Devonshire, who , had an
open mind on the question, and Sir Mi
chael ' Hicks-Beach was' instructed to
..prepare a categorical reply .to the pro
posals which had been submitted, de
clining to accept them but leaving the
door wide open for the ' continuance of
the negotiations. This last bit of po
liteness was done to conciliate the dis
appointed bimetaiists in the cabinet.
A conference has been arranged which
will be attended by the three envoys
and representatives of the two embassies.
A reply having been received, the only
question remaining for consideration is
Absolutely Pure
Celebrated for Its great leavening strength and
bealthfulness. Assures tbe food against alum
and all forms of adulteration common to the
cheap brands.

the proper course to be followed by the
American envoys.
They will naturally go to Paris and
and diecuss matters with the Meline
government. The question will arise
whether the two governments can un
dertake to go on with their monetary
program without the reopening of the
mints and tbe moral support of the Brit
ish government.
The French ministry may . not care to
persevere in the bimetallic policy under
these conditions, and tbe administration
may consider it prudent to break off ne
gotiations temporarily. Certainly the
United States, with the prospect of heavy
gold imports, an increasing income and
a revival of prosperity, is in the better
position for awaiting the events of tbe
near future than England with its ha
rassing problem ofIndian finance, in
dustrial conditions in Lancashire and
disordered condition of Eastern ex
change. '
Further on they came across another,
but it failed to explode. The soldiers
became terrified and refused to proceed
farther.
In -Havana province one hundred
rebels of Raoul ArangoVcouiinand en
tered and raided a town. They carried
away a quantity of clothing and pro
visions without a shot. being fired by the
garrison. Near Artemisa Havana prov
ince a band of insurgents under Acoa at
tacked and macheted the Spanish gue
rillos force stationed on the Neptuno
estate.
In a railroad colision near Artemisa
and Mangas several soldiers were killed.
Inhabitants of. a 'suburb of Havana
report having heard firing just outside
the city last night. The firing contin
ued for several hours, and this morning
some wounded troops were brought in.
No details of the fight have da yet been

patch from Havana Bays :
A local newspaper ' publishes and
vouchsafes for the following: At Chas
capeka, in tbe district of San Julian,
belonging to the municipality of Melana
del Sur, there were ' concentrated 2500
people. These reconcentrados were the
only inhabitants of the place. There
are only five survivors, the rest having
died of hunger and fever. In Havana it
is no unusual eight to see ten or a dozen
dead on the plaza early, in tbe morning.
The employes employ regular rounds
men to remove dead bodies from tbe
parks.
There is no abatement in tbe activity
of the rebels in the western provinces.
