COVERACK, Cornwall, May 24, 5 p. m.— The attempt just made to float the Ameri- can line steamer P 1s proved unsuc- ul. The scene in.the vicinity of the Paris was interesting and animated for an hour ter. The American steamer and her tugs put on a full head of steam and exerted their utmost power to refloat her. These efforts continued fruitless for two hours, and it was finally decided to defer the attempt to float her until later tide, probably on Friday The American line officials are still most a hopeful, but the experts are divided in opinion, Vice Admiral Sir Compton E, Domeville, superintendent of the Navai Reserves, arrived this afternoon on board the coastguard tender Hawk. He visited the Paris and remained on board through- out the efforts made to float her. The American liner St. Paul exchanged she passed up channel_to-day for Southampton. 2W YORK, May 24.—Vice President ght of the American line said to-day th N Wri, | that he had received a cablegram from Henry Wilding, the agent of the line at Southampton, in which he said the su- preme attempt to get the Paris off the rocks will be made Saturda By that time all the pumping apparatus wiil have ed at the steamer and the work will o been started. Officials of the line are still confident of saving the steamer. -— “Through the First Antarctic Night.” Speelal Cable to The Call and the New York Herald.

HAVANA, May 24.—General Maximo Gomez has received a telegram from General Sanchez, in Santiago Province, sion will not accept “Will use every ef- fort compatible with dignity and honor.” The Havana papers consider this answer evasive, and the Cubans gen- erally, especially those belonging to the fighting di Westerners ay that most of the sol- diers will ept the mone as 875 apiece is better than nothing. Proba- bly there will be a large. attendance | | ions, which are chiefly | on the first payment, as well as upon those that follow. A member of staff of Gomez said to-day that not more than 20 per cent would refuse when'the money was actually in sight. The Sanguillys, Lacret, Vi“al, Mayia, Rodriguez and all the late members of the Cuban Military Assemblv. aided by the opposition newspapers, are ad- vising the Cuban soldiers not to give up their arms—not to sell the souvenirs of the struggle for liberty, and not “to part with honor for § It is pointed out that the in his proclamation, counseled the soldiers to go home with or without money. General Brooke, of course, will pro- ceed with his programme without heed- ing the opposition. The. military inquirers into the mat- | ter have lost all confidence in the rolls prepared by the Cuban Mllitary Assem- bly. Hence, if 15,000 or 20,000 men ap- pear for payment, the expectations of the Americ: dissidents w assert that as 39,930 men were enrolled any number less than that appearing for payment will repre- sent armed Cubans who reject the American conditions. In any event a large percentage of the $3,000,000 will not be disbursed. CHOLERA RAGES AT BOMBAY, May 2.—Cholera is raging in Karachi, the principal seaport town of Singe. Two hundred and thirty-two new cases were officially reported yesterday and 208 deaths for the day. The official returns show a total of 1197 cases and of 1099 deaths since the begin- ning of the outbreak. Karachi, or Kurrachoo, is on an inlet of the Indian Ocean, eighteen miles from the west branch of the Indus. The town was taken by the Britfsh in 1839, and was retained as a military post. According to the census of 1891, its population is about 100,000. A rallway extends from Karachi to Hvderabad. Of late years the town has been rebullt and eatly improved, and it is now one of the chief seaports of Indla. even Gomez, | s will be satisfied, but the | | | | | | | | at §5 (Mexican money) a bucket.

General Gonze and General de Boisdcffre were kept informed of what he was dojng.

This sugges- tion was carried out. - - + 500000000 TREASURE, MIP LADEN WITIT GOLD Rl First Shipment From the Lower California Klondike. Sl el Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, May 24.—A correspond- ent at Ensenada to-day telegraphed that the first consignment of gold dust and nuggets from the Cerro Pinto plac- ers, which was sent on the steamer Cu- racao to Guaymas merchants on her last trip south, amounted to $158,000. The news of this large shipment was kept very quiet by the persons interest- ed until they could get their mea off to the fields, and it has only just leaked out, causing excitement at Ensenada never before equaled. All the old miners declare that a new Klondike has been found. Captain Martinez has gone to the Cerro Pinto mines with twenty-five ru- rales to preserve order. Over fifty pas- sengers left Ensenada this afternoon on the steamer Carlos Pacheco for Asuncion Bay, the point of debarkation for the mines. Every berth was occu- pied and many who wanted to go could not get accommodations. A returning miner who has just reached Ensenada says that the plac- ers are twenty-eight miles long by fif- teen miles wide and the pay dirt runs from two to six feet deep. The miners are all making big money with their crude washers. Water has to be brought about twelve miles, and until recently was sold by the water carriers It is now down to $2 50 a bucket, and a number of men are digging wells with the hope of getting a supply near the placers. There are over 600 men at the mines or on the road thither. There Is a as horses cannot be used, owing to lack of proper food. The placers are in a barren, dreary locality. It transplies that the placers are not so new as was at first thought when the excitement broke out a few days ago.

L N R N R R | CONFERENCE OF DEMOCRATS 10 BE HELD Eie = Leaders Rally at St. Louis | to Arrange for Presi- dential Campaign. Ly Special Diepatch to The Call. ST. LOUIS, May 24.—Ways, and methods of conducting the Presidential campaign will be consid- | ered by the Democratic conference at’| the Planters’ Hotel to-morrow. It is| not thought that much other matter | will come before the meeting, and no definite action of any sort will be ta. ken until a majority of the members of | the committee is present, and whether a sufficient number will be in attend- ance is problematical. Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri, who issued the call for the meeting, has re- celved twenty-eight favorable replies. Two of these have been withdrawn and | proxies forwarded. .This leaves but twenty-six members of the committee | as an outside number to be present at | the meeting, and the Democratic lead- ers are not over sanguine to-night that they will have this number, or even twenty-three, which would constitute a working majority of the committee. If a quorum is secured, it is altogeth- er likely, according to Committeeman Gahan of Illinois, that the meeting will | be resolved into a formal session of the | national committee and some definite | action taken. Otherwise “-re will be nothing but an informal conference re- | garding the best methods of « -~ting | the campaign. Only three committee- men are in the city to-night, Woodson | of Kentucky, Gahan of Illinois and | Stone of Missouri. 1t is generally understood that “anti- trust” will be the rallying cry for the Democracy, with “‘anti-imperialism” a close second and “16 to 1" not entirely discarded, but kept in third place. As one of the leaders of the party ex- pressed it, “anti-trust” and “anti-im- perfalism” will be the salt and pepper with which we will flavor “16 to 1.” There have been countless rumors floating around to the effect that silver | is to be entirely discarded and that, as far as Missouri is concerned, Bryan.is to be shelved in favor of William J. Stone of Missouri. This Mr. Stone positively denied to-day, saying that he would go into the next convention to work for Bryan, and that the Missouri delegation would vote solidly for Mr. Bryan’s nomination. Committeeman Gahan was closeted for three hours to-day with Mr. Stone, means next | ceiving assurances tion in Tllinois as against that headed by'ex-Governor Altgeld. | The Harrison men deeply resent the action of the Democratic Nations Committee in the indorsement it gav Altgeld in the Mayoralty campaign in | Chicago this spring, an < in urging that Altgeld be remov the advisory committee of the National Committee, as he did, not represent the regular Democratic organizatic the Harrison men assert thems be. They did not succeed in obt what they desired, and Mr. Altgeld will | probably remain.a member of. the ad- viscry committee, but they were made complacent by assurances that the | power and influence of Altgeld as a member of the advisory committee will | be greatly curtailed. Similar assurances were also re- ceived concerning Editor P. J. Devlin | of the Democratic National Press Bu- reau, who circulated the indorsement of Altgeld, to which the Harrison men object. The Harrison faction, after re- that * the Altgeld power will be restrained, lessened their fight against him, but there is to be no let-up regarding Devlin, and the Illi- nois men are out after his scalp. They prefer it blood raw. Devlin is not| alarmed, and declares that as he is the | personal appointee of Chairman Jones, nobody but that gentleman can remove him. He says he will hang on despite the efforts of the Illinols men. If the conference should be resolved into.a form of a national committee to-morrow, it is probable that the res ignation of Messrs. Teller and Allen from the ways and means committee | will be accepted. Both are willing to get out and the other members of the national committee are = willing = they should. It is also reported that Chairman Jones of the national committee will resign, but this is not confirmed. Tt is| known that Senator Jones is a sick man and his illness is of a nature that may | prevent his taking an active part in the management of a Presidential cam- paign. The “anti-trust” banquet to-morrow | night promises to be a most successful | affair. All available seats have been | sold and an overflow meeting has been | arranged for. The toasts will be as fol- lows: “Why We Are Here,” Hon. Har- | ry B. Hawes; ‘‘Presentation of State | and District Banners in the Name of | the State Committee,” Hon. Champ | Clark; ‘‘Acceptance of State Banner,” | Hon. C. B. Faris; “Acceptance of Dis- | trict Banners,” Hon. M. F. Benton; | “Trusts and Democracy,” M. C. Wet- more; “The Trust and Jts Parents,” Hon. D. A. DeArmond; ‘“Monopolies,” Hon. William J. Bryan. It is expected that short talks will be made by other distinguished Dem- ocrats. Conference on Freight Rates. ST. PAUL, Minn., May 24.—The confer- | ence called to consider freight rates to Pacific Coast points closed this afternoon, after two days’ discussion without a de- cision In favor of either Pacific Coast jobbers, who demand a change in the tariff under discussion, known as trans- | continental sheet 118, amendment 2 to the | westbound tariff 1 C. or the representa- tives of the wholesale and jobbing inter- ests of the Middle West, who insist that the present tariffs must be maintained.

ONDON, May 24.—Torrents of rain ushered in Queen Victoria's eightieth birthday to-day. Wind- scr, where a general holiday is being cbserved, was decorated with flags and the church bells were rung at 11 o'clock in the morning. The weather cleared about 1i o'clock and a serenade by the Windsor and Bton Amateur Choral Societies was given in the grand quadrangle of Windsor Castle. . The sun then shone brilliant- ly. The serenade was listened to by the Queen and members. of the Royul family Sir Walter Parratt, the master Queen’s music, and private to the Qgeen, wearing conducted the serenade from the steps of the Queen's private entrance to the palace, just below the Oak r where the Queen was breakfastin Eton College volunteer cadets into the castle grounds, headed arched by a band of music and took up a position in the rear of the choir. Behind cadets were drawn up the rest of the Eton boys and the Military Knights of Windsor. The Mayor and Corporation of Windsor, in their full robes of office, and the borough Magistrates were also the present. The scene was picturesque. They ail ang the National anthem and then the choir gave the pr amme, com- prising the late 1wp of Wakefield's jubilee hymn, a four-part song, and two specially madrigals “To the Queen.’ the Eton boys gave thre s in honor of Her Majesty, and the Duke of Connaught ame to one of the windows and thanked those present in behalf of the Queen, who herself, looking to be in excellent health, came forward and bowed repeatedly. During the afternoon the Queen planted an oak sapling on the east lawn of Windsor Castle. She drove along Kenneth Drive to the spot and was assisted in the planting by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. All the members of the royval family witnessed the ceremony. Her Majesty then con- tinued her drive in the direction of Frogmor The Military Knights of Windsor pre- sented an address to the Oueen at na~- in the corridor of the castle, and re- ceived the warm thanks of Her Ma- Jesty. A pretty incident was the presenta- tion to the Queen this morning by each of her grand and great-grandchildren now at the castle of a tiny bouquet of
