Such\nwus the tormai statement of the situation made at the conclusion of tho\nday's work by oach member of lhe cabinet who was questioned upon the subject.\nA final conclusion, however, is much\nnearer than this statement would seem\nto indicate, uud indeed there is little\nreason to doubt but thut an agreement\nhas been reached upon nil the substantial points at issue, uud that whieh\nremains to bo done tomorrow is rather\nto smooth away inequalities and adjust\nsome very minor points of difference\nhel'ore making the answer expected by\nM. Oambon, The point under discussion during the greater part of tho\nmeeting was what disposition should\nbe made of the Philippines, On the\nother issues unanimity developed.\nThere was to be independence demanded for Cuba, Porto Rico was to\nbo ceded lo the United States, coaling\nstations woro to bo acquired at Guamo,\nLa-drone islands, and ono in tbo Caroline islands. These, propositions wero\ndisposed of quietly, but when it came\nlo iho Philippines SCinfl diversity ot\nopinion was revealed. As near as cau\nlie gathered, this did not relate mainly\nto tho retention of the islands. On this\nproposition a majority of the cabinet\nwas speedily recorded in tho negative,\nbut regarding the broad proposition\nlhat Spain was to be allowed to keep\nthese possessions. Other questions\nof importance developed, and it was\nfolt* tbat these must, be answered definitely before tho subject conld bo\ndisposed of\nThere was no question as to the\npropriety of demanding the coaling\nstations in the Philippines. Tho perplexing problem was what form of\ngovernment should be substituted in\nthe Philippines, and what should be\nthe nature of the guarantee required of\nSpain that the new government should\nliberal und autonomous in character.\nTheso two questions hinged on a\nprimary discussion whether to interfere at all by pressing a chango in tho\nconditions in the Philippines. Some\nmembers of tho cabinet* felt that the\ninsurgents under Aguinaldo, having\nacted independently of the United\nStates from the very begining of the\ninsurrectionary movement and having\nlatterly shown a disposition to make\ntrouble for the Americans, bud no\nmoral claim upon tho United Statos in\nsettlement of the terms of peace. Ou\nthe. other hand, it wns urged thut the\ngovernment should lose no opportunity\nof extending its principles throughout\ntho world, nnd that this would be done\niu the present instance, iu requiring\nof Spain a genuine autonomy for the\nPhilippines. On just such points us\nthese the discussion proceeded ull day.\nTho point thnt wns quickly established was that there should bo no\nreference of any phase of the question\nof the disposition of Ihe islands to any\nconcerted or individual action by\noutside powers. Another point that\nwas settled, though there was no formal\nael ion taken on it, was that no protest against the continuance of military or naval operations ponding tho\npeace negotiations would avail  in  the\nslightest ;    that   there   would     be   uo\narmistice, no suspension of operations,\nnor any modification whatever of present plans until the Spanish government\nhad agreed to tho tonus proposed,\nIncidental to the cession of Porto\nRico and tho recognition of Cubanjin-\ndependence by Spain, was the, decision\nthat every vestige of Spanish government and authority in the Carribeiin\nsea and West. Indian waters must be\nremoved, thus effecting ihe acquisition\niif numerous islands on whieh tho\nSpanish flag flies. One of the most\nimportant is the Isle of Pines. Beyond\nthis sweeping change of authority\nfrom Spain to tho United Statos in\nnear-by waters which is to be effected.\nAlso a quit claim deed, is demanded of\nall indebtedness issued by Ihe Spanish\ngovernment and charged to those\nislands, so far as the United Statos is\nconcerned, and all commercial treaties\nnow existing between the Spanish government and her possessions there, and\noutside powers are to be extinguished.\nSomo discussion arose as to the probability   of   tho   Spanish acceptance of\nthe American terms. The views\ndiffered, though it can bo stated that\nseveral of the most influential momhors of tho clabiuet boliovod that the\nterms substantially agreed on would\nnot be accepted by Spain at onco.\nWhilo bclieviiigjthat the propositions\nshould in ull reason constitute the\nminimum to bo considered, somo expressed tho belief that Spain would\nnot bo immediately disposed to roach\nan ngreemont on them, and that possibly a considerable lapse of timo would\nI uke place before Spain would yield,\nin the meantime seeking a compromise\nwliich it is asserted was not to bo entertained for a moment.\nThe factor in the protracted discussion of tho Philippines problem was\nthe absence of advices as to the existing situation there on this dato, a\npoint that might be of considerable\nimportance in the adjustment of tho\nquestion. Tho unconfirmed despatch\nreporting that Manila hnd surrendered\nwus read and commented ou as indicating that definite notion, without\nknowledge of the exact situation in\nManila, might causo a statement regarding conditions flint did not exist.\nThe formal paper orystalizing the results of the sessiou today will be reudy\nfor action tomorrow. A formul vote\nwill then he taken, and the answer of\nthis government is likely to be communicated to Spnin before nightfall.\nThe most important news received\nnt the war department was the cable\nfrom General Miles, announcing the\nimmense progress being mado iu\nsouthern Porto Rico aud the capture of\nPonce. Tho navy department also received a cable announcing that tho\nnavy had captured the city of Pouce\nand had landed the forces under General Miles. The department expects an\neasy conquest of Porto Rico, and notwithstanding tho overtures of peace\nmado by Spain the war will be prosecuted vigorously on that island. The\nbelief is general in tho war department\nthnt General Merritt has lnnded in\nManila, though no cable information\nto (hat effect bus been received.\nSPAIN RESIGNED.\nThe Spaniards Are  Only  Anxious  to\nAvoid an Indemnity.\nNew York, July 29.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdA despatch to\ntbo Word from Madrid says:\nPresidont McKinley can get peaco\nwithin !M hours, including surreAd-Pr\nof Manila aud Porto Rico, if he will\nwaive indemnity money and uot be\ntoo hard in his terms respecting tho\nPhilippines. Tho Spanish people are\ngloomily resigned to peaco, having\nlost confidence in all the political\nparties, their statesmen and their generals. Even the press has sadly lost\nprestige because it has systematically\nled peoplo to believe castles in the air\nboth before and during the war. So\nnow nil classes only care for their material interests and are anxious to escape from crippling the country's\nfinanco hy a heavy war indemnity. It\nis remarkable that the majority of the\nnation seems to regard it as a foregone\nconclusion that the Queen and the cabinet will accept almost any conditions\nin order to secure peace.\nThe ministers and generals have\ncomo to the conclusion that thoy havo\nlittle to fear now iu the way of military insistence and discontent, which\nwould be formidable only if led by\nWeyler or if it assumes the form of a\nrevolution.\nPROCLAIMS A  NEW DYNASTY.\nBut\nChinese Rebel  Declares  Himself,\nLoses Wun Gun.\n% London, July 29.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe Hong Kong\ncorrespondent of the Daily Mail says:\nThe viceroy of Canton has unnounced\nto tho foreign office tho complete suppression of the rebellion in those districts.

Eossland, Trail, Nelson, Kaslo,\nThe newspaper world of  Londou  is j\ni very much excited ovor the  revolution\nni'  alleged  1 lackmailiug   scaudals  by j\nMr. Ernest Ti mh Heniey, the l-ani-:'-' Sandon, Three Forks, New Denver and Slocan City\nrupt company  promoter,    The Londou\nSIVLER  LEAD SMELTING\nThe Victoria Daily Times in its\niusue of the 27th inst, has an editorial\nanswering an article in the Vancouver\nWorld, which criticized some utterances\nof Senator Tenipleruan's. We do not\npropose to touch in any way upon the\npolitical question at issue, bul both\narticles contain statements concerning\nthe smelting industry at Nelson which\nare hardly in consonance -with facts.\nThe Vancouver World quotes Mr.\nCroasdaiie us savin*,' that the Hall\nMines smelter here t real,id 150.000 tons\nof silver-lead ore, and thereon bases\nthe argumont upon which wo do uot\nnow intend to enter. The Victoria\nDaily Time*; in reply expresses the\nopinion that Mr. Croasdaiie was misquoted, asserts that \"tho Nelson\nsmelter doos not treat the galena of the\nSlocan,\" und takes v.p the position\nthat not one ton of the galena ores of\ntho Slocan has ever heen I rented in\nCanada.\nUnfortunately Mr. Croasdaiie is not\nat present in the city.and consequently\nwe have not heen aide to secure ;i con-\nfiniiation or 'it denial of the statement\nattributed to him. Nevertheless, thoro\nis probably very little doubt that the\nVictoria Times is correct in saying\nthat Mr. Croasdaiie was misquoted, fl r\nthe ore from the Silver King mine\ndoes not contain lead. The Victoria\nTimes, however, is quite wrong in\nsaying that lhe Hall Mines smeller\ndoes not or never has treated galena\nores.\nAbout the middle of last March the\nsmaller of Ithe two blast furnaces was\nblown in for tho purpose of treating\ngalena ore from the Slocan. As the\nfurnace was originally designed for\nthe treatment ot copper ores, the attempt was looked upon to n certain extent as an experiment. The alterations\nthat hud been made, proved, however,\nto bo effective, and the venture was n\ncomplete, success from a smelting point\nof view. The run lasted for about six-\nweeks, and it large amount of silver-\nlead bullion was shipped. The Miner\nis not in a position to state whether\nthe treatment was a financial success\nor not, but the gem nil impression is\nthat it wtis so, und that the Hall Mines\nsmelter intends resuming similar operations in tho mar futuro,\nTimes has contributed its quota to the\nexcitement by its disclosure of the\nmethods of cert iin promoters of Klondike companies. Mr, Henry Hess, a\nformer well known South African\njournalist, the editor of the Critic, has\njoined in the fray, and there is a tierce\ncombat being waged between him and\nMr. Harry Marks of the Financial\nNews. The publio prosecutor has already taken stops against some of tho\nmore notorious blacklegs of the\n\"cily.\" and Mr. Hess litis stated that\nif ho does not investigate Hooley's\ncharges, he (Mr. Hess) will do so himself. Mr. Hess has already attacked\nthe Klondike aud Columbian Gold-\nfields and its subsidiary companies, the\ncompany which enjoys the patronage\nof Premier Turner. The sequel of this '\nlnsi affair has yot to be heard.\nOrders by mail to nny branch will have careful ar.d prompt attention.\nNELS01>\nMayor\nWHAT WE HAVE TO\nOFFICIAL DIRECTORS1!\n.John Illusion\nAldermen\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdChas Hillyer, W F Teetzel, J A\nllilker. ,1.1 .Miilone, i-l I' Whalley, Thos Madden.\nCily Clerk\nPolice Magistrate\nChlof of Pollco\nChief of Firo Dopartmonl\nAndlior\nWiiier Commissioner\nHealth onicor\nCily ihevincol-\nCity counoil moots ovory Mopday, 3 pan., at\neily hall, cor Vlctorln and Josephine st\nJ K Straohan\nK A Crease\nA F McKlnnon\nW ,l Thompson\nJohn Hamilton\nT M Ward\nDr, I.ailnii\nA.

My observations have not\nfound this to lie a faet. however, and\nI do not think: too much dependence\nshould be placed upon ihe prejudiced\nword of tlie over-enthusiastic patriot\nfrom across the gulf. The lime thai\nwo spent on the Cuban coast showed\nthe Spaniards to be very alert and\nready for attack. They have an excellent signal service botli with wires\nand with heliographs and {lags.
