h'tudish Press Comment.
Ukiiiis. April 21. The Foreign Office
guvs It ha4' information indicating that
the 1'iiitt 1 States' dIHlculty- with Turkey
will lm M'tlHl amicably in a few dayp.
The Foreign Office does not believe it
naval demonstration will become neces

No (Inn Will Interfere,
London, April 21. lnquiriea by the
Associated Press regarding the attitude
otGien' Britain and other powers toward
the Aii.e:icin-Turl:ish difficulty reveals
the fur' that no one bus the slightest
intention of Interfering in any way. The
British government officials do not dis
guise their delight at the Bland taken by
Was liington, and hope the Sultan's obsti
nacy will for once fall to achieve its ends.
Great Britain herself, during the past
years, has had much trouble in extract
ing payment of debts from the "sick
man of the East," and appreciates the
irritation displayed at Washington.
Tiie British Ambassador at Constanti
nople hits informed the Foreign Office of
the conditions existing, but merely veri
fying what lias already been published.
So far, Ljrd Salisbury has sent him no
instructions, but the Associated 1'rees is
oflicitilly informed that Great Britain
nnd ilie other powers who are now mak
ing joint representations regarding the
increase in the Turkish tariffs have no
intention of pooling their issues upon
the Ameiican claims or in any associat
ing the titrill' matter with that dispute.
Tt.u possibility of seriouB results attracts
generul interest nnd much comment in
England. The Spectator soys :
"It is earnestly to be desired that
Pharaoh should harden his hart. But
there is little chance of such an ad
vantage to the world. The Sultan will
doubtless pay the money. If he does not,
Dewey may go afloat again to do work
rather less easy and much more im
portant than the capture of Manila."
The Outlook suggests that the United
States might take the customs of Smyrna
as a guarantee, but inclines to believe
that the Sultan's new friend, Emperor
William, will whisper "pay," and tho
incident will be ended.

GOLD "AND
SILVER OUTPUT
Decrease in California, But Alaska
More Than Doubled.
San Fhancikco, April 21. The Super
intendent of the United States Mint at
San Francisco has forwarded to the Mint
at Washington a report showing tho cold
and silver product ol California for the
calendar year 1890 amounted to $15,
840,043, of which $15,330,031 was gold
and $504,012 silver.
Comparing the totals of gold and sil
ver with tho cot responding figures ob
tained from the. same sources in the year
1808, the gold ield of the state shows a
decrease of $570,447, and the silver yield
an increase of $89,057, making a net de
crease from the previous year of $480,-
400. Thip is attributed to the fact that
owing to the dry season many mines
were shut down. The returns to the
mint show the employment of 18,701
miners in the gold, silver, lead and
copper mines of the state.
Alaska has more than doubled its bul
lion product in the last year, tiie re
ceipts of Alaska gold at mints, assay of
fices, refineries, smelters, etc., for the
calendar year 1800 were $5,002,012, and
the silver $220,313, a total of $5,831,355,
$3,100,844 more than in the year 1898.
Of this increase, it iB estimated that $2,
400,000 came from the now placer camp
at Capo Nome last season, the first year
in its history, and tho rest of the in
crease from the quartz mines of South
eastern Alaska.
The rcciepts at mints, aseay offices,
private refineries und Btnelters for tLe
calendar year 1800 from the Klondike
wore $15,080,025 gold und $207,300 silver,
a total of $10,254,107. This shows a
marked advance in output for the
Klondike field, since the increase over
the previous year.
Win. Orr, Newark, O., says, "We
never feel fafo without One Minute
Cough Cuie in the house. It saved my
little boy's life when he had the pneu
monia. Wo think it is the best medicine
made." It cures coughs and all lung
diseases. Pleasant to toke harmless and
gives immediate results.
THE REBELS
DEFEATED
A Bloody Week on the Island of Luzon
General Pilar's Band Again at
Work, and Gave San - Miguel
Garrison a Three-Hour Fight.
Manila, April 22, 10:20 a. m. Last
week was one of the bloodiest of the
war since the first day's fighting around
Manila, authentic reports, mostly of
ficial, showing a total of 378 Filipinos
killed, twelve officers and 244 men
captured, and many more wounded.
The number wounded is hardly guess
able. Considering that tho Filipinos
entirely lack hospital facilities, a great
mnjirity of the wounded will die. Prob
ably tho week's work finished 1000 in
surgents. The Ameiican loss was nine
killed and sixteen wounded. Two
sergeantB and one private were killed in
ambushes, while escorting provision
trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province of Luzon. Gen
eral Piodel Pilar's band, numbering 300,
which was out of sight for three months,
the leader being reported killed, has re
appeared in its old field about San
Miquel. Pilar is supposed to be again
in command. He gave the, American
garrison at San Miquel, consisting of
three companies of the thirty-fifth in
fantry, with a Gatling, three hours'
fighting, during a night attack. The
loss of the insurgents in this engagement
iB not included in the foregoing total, as
they removed their dead and wounded,
but presumably it was considerable.
Twenty. two Filipinos in tho province
of Santagas attacked Lieutenant Wende,
who, with eight men, was Ecouting near
San Joee. The Lieutenant and five men
were wounded, and one private was
killed.
Sergeant Ledonius, of the thirty-fifth
infantry, was badly wounded in an am
bush near Baliuag. Lieutenant Batch,
of tho thirty seventh infantry, with 70
men, had a five hours' fight with 400 in
surgents in the Nue'va Cacoras 'District.
Twenty of the insurgents were killed.
Colonel Smith, of the seventeenth in-'
fantry, who captured General Montene
gro, and brought him to Manila, is in
the isolation hospital, suffering from
smallpox. Colonel Smith's command
captured 180 officers and men with
Montenegro. Montenegro, who was
formerly one of the most dapper officers
in the Filipino army, looks worn and
haggard. lie says he led a terrible life
for months, and he has offered to return
to the north with Colonel Smith, to
endeavor to pereuade his former com
rades of the uselessiiess of opposing the
Americans.
One hundred escaped Spanish prison
ers from the Province of South Luzon
have unived at Manila. The ineurgents
have 400 more Spanish prisoners in that
district. Recently the Filipinos destroyed
several rods of the railroad lino near
Panique, in an unsuccessful attempt to
wreck a train.
Caught a Dreutlful Vuld.
Marion Kooke, manager for T. M.
Thompson, a largo importer ol fine mil
linery at 1058 Milwaukee Avenue, Chi
cago, says: "During the late severe
weather I caught a dreadful cold which
kept ine awake at night and made me
unfit to attend my work during the day.
One of my milliners was taking Cham,
berlain's Cough Remedy for a severe
cold at that time, which seemed to re

ltenewed Activity.
London, April 22. Dispatches ar
riving from the seat of war, though
meager and unsatisfactory, clearly
indicate renewed activity at all points
where tiie British and Boer forces are in
stiiking distance of each other. Interest
for the moment centers ut Do Wet's
Dorp and Wepener, where fighting evi
dently is in progress. A dispatch re
ceived from Aliwal North, dated April
21, says that there was heavy firingthe
previous day between De Wet'-a Dorp
and Wepener, and around Wepener
Saturday, but that no particulars have
been received. A special from Maseru,
dated Saturday, says:
"he investment of Wepener con
tinues. The Boers seem determined to
do their utmost to capture the garrison
before relief arrives. Severe fighting ap
pears imminent."
The activity of the Boers at Eland's
Laagte apparently has fulled to draw
General Buller, if that was its object,
into doing more than lepel the attack
made on his advance posts.
A dispatch from Warrenton, dated
Saturday, says :
"There has been Intermittent and inef
fective sniping by Boers, who also fired
u few thells, both during the day and
tho night, at the ttation the past two
days."
A special dispatch from Zwartkop,
Josfontein, dated April 2! , says :
"This morning 1500 Boers made a
determined attack on a convoy returning
to Boehof. The British succeeded in re
pulsing the attack, and their fire be
came so heavy and well-sustained that
the Boers fell back with considerable
loss.-The British casualties were sixteen
killed and wounded. The convoy reached
Boshof safely,"
