Washington When officials of the
Treasury Department prepared Circular
123 they were of tho opinion, that every
conceivable question concerning the ii
nances ar d coinage of tbe United States
had been answered. They find they were
mistaken. Hardly a day passes but that
questions are asked that Circular 123 does
not even refer to. Those concerning the
ownership of gold and silver mines in the
Uuiled States are the most numerous.
Director of-ihe-llint Preston says it is
almost impossible to give a satisfactory
reply to these inquiries ;The gold and silver
mines ' of the United States, he says, are
largely slock affairs, and it is very diffi
cult to trice out the ownership of the
sto:k. Great blocks of European capital,
he says, urn always in the Unitid States
awaiting paying investments, and when
golii and silver mines present' theimelveb'
tliy arc itaoilv taken up. It is we'l
known, he snys, that the Rothschilda und
other ftmigii capitalists arc large owner?

percentage of such s'ock is held hy fr

brought with them aie now with the

Basilo Soler, a prisoner of war, will be

Barcelona Ever since the recent
rioting in I his city tbe authorities have
been on the alert to prevent a recurrence
of tbe disorders. A close whtcb has been
kept on Republicans, who, in connection
with othT memliers of the party through
out Spain, were believed to have been
active in fomenting tbe late disturbances.
As a result of the surveillance, Seuors
Marti and Ribot, both Republican mem
bers of the Cortes, and filteen others were
lb day arrested. It is charged that they
are Implicated in a conspiracy having for
ill ol ject the creation of disorders in con
nection with the coming embarkation of
of leinforcemcnts lor the army of Cuba.
It is believed that the Republicans
have made attempts to tamper with the
loyalty of ihe troops and sought to induce
them to mutiny rather than to serve with
the colors in Cuba. This plan is thought
to have been effectively frustrated and no
trouble, is apprehended when 40,000 men
destined for service in Cubt arc despatch
ed to tho island.
The most important arrest that has
been made is that of General Estebauez,
who was Miuistur of War in the Re
publican government which followed
the abdication of King Amedaus in
18T8.
