SPAIN WILL
NEVER AGREE
Will Not Accept tiB Peace Treaty in
' MM Form.
ABARZUZA'S
OPINION OF IT
If the Treaty Should be Altered to Make
the Islands a Republic It Would
be Repudiated by Spain.
New York, Jan. 30. A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says : Senor Abar
zuza, a prominent member of the Span
ish peace commission, now here on a
visit, was asked :
"Would Spain accept the peace treaty
if it should be amended by the United
States senate so as to pat the Philippines
in the same position as Cuba?"
"No," answered Senor Abarznza, "in
my opinion Spain would not, nor would
any civilized nation accept a treaty if
modified so as to create an independent
Filipino government.
"You might as well give autonomy to
the monkeys in the Jardin Acclimation
here as to give it to the Filipinos.
"No country could possibly agree to
risk its commercial interests by dealing
with the so-called Filipino government,
Would America herself like hercommer
cial interests to have only the single
guarantee of a such a government? Ic
would be no guarantee at all.
"If the treaty should be amended as
you suggest it would cease to be the
treaty signed by Spain, and a serious
position would arise, since if the treaty
should become null matters would go
back to the position in which they were
at the time of the protocol." '
, A dispatch to the World from Brus
sels says: Senor Vallauritla, the Span
ish minister here, who was a member of
the Spanish peace commission, when
asked if in his opinion Spain would ob
ject to a modification of the peace treaty
in such a way as to -put the Filipinos in
tho same position as tbe Cubans, an
swered: "We members ot the peace commission
definitely agreed upon a certain condi
tion in behalf of respective governments.
It seems to me that any alteration must
be referred to a new cominUeion, because
one srde cannot change the conditions
without tbe consent of the other.- Our
duty in the matter ended with the Paris
session."
Being asked what he thought of the
situation, be said :
"They have yet to learn that Aguin
aldo is a man of determination. Tbe
Americans have turned their own weap
ons on themselves, and possibly will
find their new Eastern possessions a
dear bargain." ,
RICHEST THE
WORLD HAS SEEN
Gold, Strike at Isabella Ground, Colo.,
Far Exceedes the Wildest Ex
pectations.
.Denver, Jan. 30. A special to the
News from Cripple Creek, Colo., says of
the recent strike in Isabella Ground;
Your correspondent saw chunks of syl
vanite that were three inches thick, and
solid metal, and chunks of oxidized ore
of same width that he whittled with a
pocket knife. No assays have been made
on the rock; it is not necessary, but
pieces of free-gold ore, if ore it can be
called at all, run over $500,000 per ton

The Mollie Gibson never produced, any
ore that carried more ounces m silver
per ton than the Isabella does in gold.
With every' hour's work the streak is
lengthening and widening. Joining the
metallic body there are six feet of quartz
that will run from $1000 to $2000 pec Ion.
Manager Kilburn said : "I don't like
to say anything that will excite 'people
any more than they are at present'. The
metallic ore body has doubled in size
both ways since . yesterday morning.
Some of the pieces "of ore are 80 per
cent gold. ' I never saw such mineral,
and I. do not believe its like was ever
mined ' in this or any other camp in the
world. JWe have had no assays taken on
the rock, but a ton of it could be. picked
out that would run anywhere from
$50,TJOO to $200,000. The strike was
made in a new ore body at a depth of
850 feet. The chute has been cut at the
seventh level 200 feet above, and also at
tbe fifth. At the latter place the assay
was obtained in tbe breast of the drift
yesterday, On two feet of ore that went
better than $1000 per ton. - There' is at
least blocked out in one level, between
the ninth and seventh levels $5,000,000
worth of ore."
Ills Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightlul death.
In telling of it he says "I was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia." My lungs became hardened. I
was so weak I couldn't even Bit up in
bed. Nothing helped me. I expected
to soon die of consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I can't say too much, in its
praise.". This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in tbe world
for all throat and lungtrouble. Regular j
size 50 cents and $1.00. Trial battle
tree at Blakeley & Houghton's drug
store; every bottle guaranteed. 2
AN AGREEMENT IS
' NOW IN SIGHT
Negotiations for an American-Canadian
Trade Treaty Have Taken a Favorable-Turn.
New York, Jan. A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says : Pros
pects for an agreement between the
British and American joint high com
mission on questions affecting Canada
and tbe United States have greatly im
proved within the last week, and it is
expected now that acomplete agreement
on all points will be reached early in
Februarv. ,
Reciprocity has been the stumbling
block in tbe way of tbe commission.
The principal point of friction was in re
gard to the duty on lumber imposed
under the Dingley law. Candians de
manded concessions on this that the
American commissioners were not at
first willing to make. "
. This question has not been settled,
but It is understood that both sides are
more conciliatory, each being anxious
that the entire negotiations should not
fail on account of one point of agree
ment. -
I.a Orlppe Successfully Treated.
, "I have just recovered from the sec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Kenn
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten .days for the former at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this emedy as 1
bad to go to bed in about six hours after
BAC$nrj&
being 'struck' with it,- while in. the first
case I was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down. "

NAVAL PERSONNEL
; MEASURE
Its Friends Confident of Favorable Ac
tion in the Senate' During the
Coming Week. 1 ' '
New Yore, Jan. SO. A dispatch to
the herald from Washington says :
It is the understanding of the senate
naval committee that the naval' person
nel bill will come up for. consideration
in the senate during the. eoming weefc.
Friends of the measure are confident of
favorable action, but fear it will be
loaded down with injurious amend
ments. ' The department is anxious that -the
measure become a law as it passed the
house, and without the provisions in
serted by the senate committee, author
izing tbe appointment into, the 'service
of volunteer officers under 25 years who
served during tbe war. It has been
found, however, that if the president
cheoses, h'e can make, the provision
practically useless. He is required to
make such appointments within two
years from the date or tbe passage of
the act. Few .of these officers are not
over 24 years, and it would not be abso
lutely necessary for the president to
make more than thirty . appointments,
and these in the lower grades.
Orders have been issued by the navy
department detaching all retired officers
except those on duty as prize commis
sioners, from active service and ordering
them to proceed to their homes. Eighty
per cent of the volunteer officers have
been discharged. - ,
