Oold-Ladea Steamer St. Paul Arrives al
Baa FrancUce.
San Francisco, July 19. After be
ing eagerly watched for during the last
10 days, the steamer St. Paul arrived
tonight from St. Michaels, bringing
men and treasure from the Klondike.
There were 176 passengers on the list,
and the amount of their earnings in
golddust, nuggets and bank drafts It
estimated by tbe ship's officers at 13,
000,000. Tbe largest amount brought ont by a
single prospector is In the possession
of T. I. Pickett, who has $80,000, prin
cipally In golddust and nuggets. Pete
Wybird admits to ownership of 50,
000; E. 3. Nash has 130,000 and Fred
Berry, of Fresno, Cat., who bad previ
ously brought out a fortune, says he
has another with bim now, but de
clines to disclose tbe amonnt.
J. Dumas, who has been' prospecting
on Eldorado creek, has f 45,000 to show
for his labors in the frozen north, and
W. E. Burn, who suffered the misfor
tune of having bit feet frozen and los
ing both by amputation, feels compen
sated by the posses-Ion ot f 100,000 in
cash tbe proceeds of the tale of hit five
mining claim. J. Dumas spent only
one month in the Klondike, but during
that period realized 120,000 from hi
olaim, and just before his departute
told tbe claim for $35,000 more so that
bis days at Dawson were exceedingly
profitable.
Tbe returning minert tay that It la
idle for prospectors to go to the Klon
dike now expecting to locate claim as
all tbe mining lnnd of any value hat
already been staked out. Tbe only
manner la which claimt can be now
acquired in said to be by purchase.
The general concensus of opinion ia
that the value of Minook creek as a
renter bat been overestimated. Claimt
there are pronounced to be of little
value ai:d the intending miner if be be
guided by the experience of these pio
neen will confine bit operations to the
neighborhood of the original gold dis
coveries near Dawson.
Dominion creek Is pronounced the
richest ot the Klondike streams in tt
precious metal. Eldorado and Bon an;
creeks are considered by these prospect
ors only second in Importance to Do
minion. "
It baa been learned on reliable au
thority that the Alaska Commercial
Company received tonight about 18.
488,000. Adding this to the amonnt
brought down by the miners which le
now placed at over $3,000,000 the

oepted as proof that peaoe negotiations
are actually in progress. Premier
Sagasta is quoted as saying:
"Spain wants peaoe, hut it must be
an honorable peace, as Spain deserves.
The army la anxious to resist to the
last, but the government cannot con
tent to tuch a useless aacrlfice. Had
we our fleet, tbe situation would have
been very diflerent."
Tbe pacific tendency it increasing,
the general publio taking a favorable
view of tbe suggestion that the powers
should attempt the re-establishment of
peace, but it is said, contrary to reports
corrent, France hot not taken tbe
initiative.
Tbe minister ot war, General Cor
rea, is quoted as saying in an inter
view, he thought peace might be ar
ranged on tbe following terms:
"The United States and Spain to
agree to let the Cubans decide by pleb
iscite whether they desire independ
ence or autonomy nnder the suzerainty
of Spain. Tb governments to agree to
abide by the result ot the plebiscite,
and In the event of the Cubans voting
for independence, tbe United States to
allow Spain nine months In whloh to
withdraw her army gradually and dig
nlfiedly from Cuba, as soldiers should,
after having fought like heroes."
Continuity the minister for war
aid: -
"Weongbi to retain Porto Rico at
all costs In order to be always near
Cuba, which the Americana will be
able to despoil in course of time, and
In order to' more easily communicate
with tbe South American republics,
which daily display tbe greatest enthu
siasm for Spain.
"At to the Philippine islands, it It
certain we will retain them, even
though the Americans succeed in oc
cupying Manila, of which place their
occupation will be moat brief. An
official dispatch announces that the
rebel chiefs and Americans will not al
ways agree, whloh is to Spain's advant
age. The government has formed a
scheme, which will not only assure
Spain the possession of the Philippine
islands, bnt which will restore their
tranquility."
.On leaving the cabinet council this
evening, the ministers proleesed still
to be without confirmation of the re
ported capitulation of Santiago.
BROUGHT TO A STOP.
Preach Gunboat Held Vp la Caanta
aamo Bay After Houra.
Playa del Este, Guantauamo Bay,
July 16. A French gunboat of about
8,000 tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to
night without permission, and met
with a surprise party. The cruiser
Marblehead fired a blank shot as the
gunboat came Into the entrance to the
harbor, tint no attention was paid to
this, and a shot from a 6-pouuder was
sent aorosa her bows. This, too, waa
disregarded, the gunboat coming along
nnder fnll steam.
For a few minute, it looked as if a
row was possible. The trumpets on
the Marblehead rang out a call to
quarters, and another shot was sent
across the Frenchman'! bow, this
time In uncomfortable proximity. That
warning waa sufficient, however, and
the Fienohman stopped witb extreme
suddenness.
It Is against naval onatom fox a war
vessel of one nation to entet a port
which the vessels of another nution
are blockading, unless permission it
granted. The captain of the French
gunboat was either in ignorance ot the
Amerioan occupation, or chose to dis
regard it nutil forcibly reminded of tha
fact by Commodore MoQtlla. -
The gunboat was allowed to anchor
in tbe lower harbor for the night.
Treating tha Wounded.
Washington, July 14. Surgeon-General
Van Rovpen, of tbe navy, received
a report from the inrgeons with th
fleet tbowing that in many cases of
wounded, tome of them serious, no rise
of temperature or an acoumulntion of
put bat appeared. From a medical
standpoint thlt It said to be a great ad
vance from the conditions during the
civil war, and Is attributed to tbe intro
duction of antiseptio treatment of
wound. It shows that no fever fol
lows the wound.
ASKS TOO MUCH.
toral Propoae TJaaatlafactory Term
Wanta to Retain II la Anna.
Washington, July 18. There waa a
long and anxious wait today to .hear
further newt from the commissioner
who have been charged to make ar
rangements for the surrender of tbe
8panish army at Santiago.
Toward the middle ot the afternoon
dispatches from General Shafter and
General Miles began to arrive in re
sponse to Secretary Alger's dispatch.
All the dispatches were not given
out in full, bnt such portions aa' were
made public showed that the negotia
tions were still in progress, and that
the Spaniard! had raised some rather
unexpected questions. Most import
ant of these was an insistence that the
Spanish troops should retain their
arms when they returned to Spain.
There was entire willingness on tho
part of General Toral to turn ..over the
arms to General Shafter at the time of
the surrender, but on the understand
ing that tbe arms were to be returned
to the Spanish troops when Spanish .
soil wat reached. Thia was a condi
tion which bad not been anticipated.
The authorities did not regard it at
serious or as likely to overcome a final
settlement, as it wat attributed to the
Spanish eensitivenesa against the hu
miliation involved in the laying down
of their arms. One of these dispatches,
after specifying that this difference had
arisen, added that a settlement wonld .
be reaohed before tbe day closed.' '
No question whatever had been raised
as to the surrender itself. Not only
has General Toral agieed to it, but his
agreement has been ratified by General
Blanco at Havana and by the Spanish
onvRrtimpnt at Mnrlrirl. -a -
The perplexing problem now to be
solved i. how to carry out tbe . plant
made by General Shafter to remove
the Spanish soldiers who surrendered
to Spain. It would have been no easy
nndei taking to remove the 85,000 men
acroee the Atlantic nnder the beet con
ditions, but the reports that indicated
the existence of yellow fever among
tbe Spaniards threatened all kinds of
difficulties. After all, it was decided
to be only a matter of money, and if
tbe price offered ia large enough steam
ship lines can doubtless be found to
undergo the task. At the beat, several
weeks will be required to move the
Spaniards, to that it will be necessary
to maintain a considerable proportion
of the Amerioan army In the neighbor
hood for some time. Being nnder no
care to protect themselves against the
foe, tbe American troops can be so dis
posed at to make tbemselvea very com-

have undergone, and by r removing
them into tbe hills just in the rear oi
Santiago it is believed that the danger
of an extensive yellow fever epidemic
will be reduced to far that it will no
longer be a cause for graro apprehen
sion. The surgeons' reports describe
the disease as of a mild character, and
it is said that this will readily yield to
a change of, altitude.
Ko Farther Parley.
Washington, July 18. After an ex
tended conference with the president
tonight, at which three other members
of the cabinet were present, Secretary
Altier said:
"The situation ia Just this: The

ment to transport them to Spain." .
