Caaadlaae Think They Bee a OreaS Field fos Their Surplus la Jamaica. Halifax, N. S.. May 11. Adam S. Brown, Cauadinn commissioner to the Jamaica exhibition, has returned from. Kiugtton, Jamaica, and reports the exhibition a great success in every-thing but its tiuanoes. Brown says the people of Jamaica feel very sore over the neglect of the United States, with whom the largest part of the trade of the island is doue, to take part in the exhibition. Strong efforts are beiuit made to induce the government to send commissioners to Washington to see if Biaine can be induced to allow the ex-isting relations between the two coun-tries to continue. The people want to hold onto their enormous trade with the United States, but do not want to come under the reciprocity provisions of the McKinley hill, for the reason that to abolish or materially lower it tariff on American breadstuffs will cripple its revenue as well as discrimi-nate against England and her colonies. THE TRADE TREATY WITH SPAIN. Details of the Keceat Agreement Negotia-ted by Cnainiitelouer Voeter. Madrid, May 11. General Foster, American reciprocity envoy, having farted in his negotiations for a general treaty between Spain and tne United States, suggested a secret treaty, which also failed to meet the approval of the Spanish ministry. He therefore agreed to conclude a simple convention on the basis O'Donuoll proposed for a treaty. This convention necessarily comprises a double tariff first, commencing July 1st and enduring till the SpauUh treaties with other powers are re-nounced in July, 1SU2, when a second comes into operation. The conven-tion provides for the free entry into the United States of sugar, honey, cocoa. cottee and skins from" the Spanish West Indias, to-bacco aud iron ore paying the duty exacted by the United States tariff. In exchange" Spain's colonies in the West Indies are to receive American coal, ice, wood, boots, ghovs, fresh and saited meats and list, either free or under a small duty; while butter and drippings are entirely exempt, and the duty on Hour reduced Irom three and a half to one-hal- f dollar per barrel, with same reduction on corn. The tariff on dry goods and husbandry machinery will afford the United States uo material advantages till 1892, because any priv-ileges accorded will be repeated by Great Britain, Frauce. (iermany and Belgium under the "favored nation" treaties, thus injuring America's future interest. Competent authorities calcu-late that Cuba will suffer a reduction in customs of $500,000 monthly. CATTLE EXPUUXEU KBOM CANADA. Afraid of Losing Their PreeeDt Adeeatacee lu llr t ih Porte. Ottawa, May 12. The Cananian government has made overture to the Imperial authorities to learn whether the present arrangements under opera-tion by wljich cattle are exported from Canada to Great Britaiu v ill be if American cattle are allowed to be slaughtered in bond witain the dominion. This has reference to the proposed Bender dead meat company's scheme for its abattoirs at Three Rivers, to Which Canadian cattle ship-pers are opposed, on the ground that it would place their trade in danger of being scheduled with that of the Ameri-cans in the British ports thus depriving them of the present discrimination iu favor of the Canadian trade. 0011 Mi SEW Dr. Graves, Accused of Poisoning Krs. Barnabv, Arrives in Denver sad Will Tell His Story. LATE NEWS FEOM 00L0EAD0. A Pueblo Policeman Accidentally Shot A Leadville Man Fatally Bnrned A Soldier Shoots Himself Special to The Times. Denver, Colo., May 13 Dr. Thatch-er Graves, who is accused of poisoning the late Mrs. Josephine It. Barnaby, arrived in Denver this morning and will appear before the grand jury. Mrs. Edward S. Worrell, who par-took of the poison that caused Mrs. Jo-sephine A. Barnaby 's death in Denver, aud who accompanied the funeral party east, told the following story in a recent interview at Philadelphia, of the relations of Mrs. Ilaruaby and Dr. Graves: "Mrs. Barnaby told my bushand that she had cause to be dissatisfied with Dr. Gtaves in a business way, and wanted to make other arrangements for the disposition of her property. Therewith she wrote to Providenco requesting Dr. Graves to send her at once, by mail, the will which she had made and delivered iuto his custody. I wrote that letter myself at her dictation. It was mailed and a few days afterward a reply came. I read this letter also, which Dr. Graves wrote. He said he could not possibly send it then, but would do so at bis earliest opportunity. Two days before we started for California Mrs. Barnaby s.tid to me: 'I am satisfied Dr. Graves does not mean to give the will up. He has a mighty object iu keeping it, pi he read it when it was drawn and knows that it contains a legacy of $30,-01)- 0 for him. "As a rebuke for h's action, and in rder to protect myself, I want another will drawn that will invalidate the first, aud his will be in consevuence only worth the paper it is printed on. We must keep the fact of the will a perfect secret from him. however. "Following on this desire iu the pres-ence of Mr. Rise, a lawyer, and my husband, the new will was drawn. It gave Dr. Graves but half his former leg-acy. Her daughters, Maud and Mabel, who were but nominally mentioned in the first will.came in for $5000 or $10,000 each in this." THE TINTIC RANGE RAILWAY.

The gold exoilcmeut along the Middle Fork, about eight miles west of this city hat again broken out. Last winter a coin-rfan- y secured several gold leases from farmers who adjoined the Middle Fore and for a time the craze ran high. Every day soma countryman came to town with a lot of iron pyrites which he fondly imagined was gold. If tho real article was discovered it was only in those traces common to all the glac-ial drift. Today T. J. Smith, wbjlivea near Newton, reported that the pros-pectors bad found gold in paying quan-tities in a four-foo- t seam of sand and gravel on the farm of H. Minbal. about a ta'da east rf Newtown, a.ama.l fcem- - - let eight miles northwest of Danville.

THE CHARLESTON PUTS TO 8EA. . - HavaA Men Think That Our South Pacific Squadron Will Have no Trouble j Heading Her OtF. WAsntNfiToN, May 11. The air of secrecy surrounding the Itata rase is just as pronounced over at tho navy department today, and it is evideut the officials have no desire to take the pub-li-into their conlideuce. The convio-- , tion.however.is gtuuralthat tho United States cruizer Charleston was sent out will aecret orders to capture the Chil-ean steamer. Just how far these ord-ers" 'extend or how much au-thority they vested in Cap-tain ' Reiney is still unknown, and none of the otlicials here will ven-ture to give any information on the subject. The order, it is said, was a lon one and was wired west in the cipher of the bureau of navigation. The officers required four or live hours to translate the order into cipher. It la said there is information in the hands of the government to wairaut tha belief that the Itata will be next heard of touchirg at some Mexican port and probably tho Charleston will make ber first stop shout midway down the west coast of Mexico in the hope of picking up hints as to her whereabouts. BHEMfSTBE KhTAKKS. Washington, May U. The Itata must be recaptured. That is the of the navy department. Cipher telegrams have been Hashing over the wires, and cables have been flying between Washington aud nenrly every point on the Pacific coast from San Francisco to Valparaiso. Instruc-tions have beau sent Admiral McCaun and Admiral Brown, and the Baltimore, Pensacola and San Francisco will soon be searching for the runaway. Tho old flagship Omaha, of the China station, arrived Thursday at San Diego, and orders have been sent her commander. Captain Cromwell, to participate in tha bunt. AS TO THE RIFLES. , Naval officers in Washington who are conversant with the coast of Lower California say it is likely the schooner Robert and Minnie may have deposited the rides intended for the Chileans on some one of the small outlying islands near the coast, and the Itata procured them there instead of taking chances of sighting the schooner at sea, as this was the most practical !e scheme and. more-over, would not arouse the suspicion of the, United States authorities, as would bt t he case should the schooner be seen on the coast. Hyi AWOMTRWK ......... .,, Th Itata is au iron screw propeller" ship of 1200 tons aud was built in Eng-land in 1873. She has compound en-gines of antiquated tnnke. 'and is not capable, probably, of steaming more than nine or ten knots an hour. She was formerly owned and operated by the Chilean steam and navigation com-pany, aud how she came into the nanus of the insurgents is not known here, unless she was seized by them at the beginning of the insurrection. OUR SQCATKON IN THE PACIFIC. The United States vessels in Chilean waters are the Baltimoro and flagship Pensacola, with Rear. Admiral McCaun in commaud. The San Frsncisco when last heard from had left Peru and will likely join the Baltimore and Pensacola early this week. With the Charleston the admiral will have under his com-mand three of the finest ships of the navy, besides the Pensacola which is the best of the wooden class in the ser-vice. With those four ships it is not aniicipated by naval officers that much opposition would be met with should the United States see tit to capture the Itata even should she be reinforced by the best ships of the insurgents. THE CHARLESTON Pf TS TO SEA. San Francisco, May 11. The Charleston yesterday received a cipher dispatch from tho navy department which took over three hours to trans-late. All visitors were then ordered ashore and the Charleston is provis-ioned aud coaled for a long cruise and instead of going outside to try her guns as was the general supposition, it is stated she has gone in pursuit of the Itata. If the Ctiarleston does not catch her the orders are to keep on until Ad-miral Brown is encountered in Chilean waters. The Data has a start of thirty-si- x hours and 500 miles. ITI.OT HILL UNDER ARKEST. Los Anueles, Cal., May 11. Before the schooner Robert and Minnie was captured by the United States marshal. Supercargo Burch and Pilot Did, who took the itata out of San Diego harbor, went ashore. Dill was arrested at San Pedro. Burch came to Los Angeles snd was arrested by a detective, aud is now in custody of the United States marshal. Burch says he landed the arms, but declines to say at what point, but it is supposed to have been at Cata-lin- a or Sau Clements. THE CHARLESTON GOES SOUTH. San Pedro. Cal..

The Crisis Attributed to tha Bad Political Situation. Madrid, May 12. The Lusitana bank of this city, which on Friday was reported to be in a difficulty, has long been known to be in a doubtful condi-tion. The bank did a speculative busi-ness in underwriting loans. Probably the failure of recent government loans sapped its resources. The govsrument has declined to allow the bank to delay six months to liquidate, but referred it to the tribunal of commerce. It is estimated that silver to the value of $1,250,000 was withdrawn from the Lisbou banks Friday and Siturday. The troops kept order at the doors. At tho leading banks bills wero readily dis-counted at 7 to 7J per cetit. The crisis is due to the bad political and financial situation. The fall of exchange on Brazil and l'enrs of a revolution iu Portugal have locked up capital, par-alyzed trado, caused a labor crisis and opened markets to German competition. Unless means are found to unlock 'cap-ital the results will be serious. HE WAS FATALLY BURNED. Jtihn McSwayue'e Terriltle Fate Daring a Fire at Hie Kaeideuce. Sped al to The Times. Leadville, May 11.
