The Official Information Re? ceived From Japan. An Amicable Agreement-Japan's Claims Were Modified. WASHINGTON, April 12 -Official advices received here to-day from Japan indicate that an understanding has been reached between the Ja? panese and Chinese plenipotentiaries and that the news of the definite con? clusion of peace may be expected at any moment The exact particu? lars of the proposed terms for settle? ment could not be learned, but it is understood that in response to the urgent and repeated requests of the Chinese plenipotentiary for an abate? ment of the demands originally ? made, the Japanese plenipotentiaries ? have granted important concessions. I SATISFACTION IN WASHINGTON-JAPAN'S PROBABLE CONCESSION. WASHINGTON, April 12 - Great satisfaction is exDressed here at the ? information that the peace negotia? tions have been practically concluded between China and Japan eight days j before the time fixed for the termi I nation of the armistice. So far as I can be learned, a formal treaty has ; not been sighed, and may not be before to-morrow. Meanwhile there is a possibility that Li Hung Chang, the Chinese representative, may ob? ject at the last momeut and another postponement occur. This is regard? ed, however, as only a possibility and not a probability, inasmuch as the plenipotentiaries have devoted a fortnight to their work and the con? clusions have been reached after the . most careful and deliberate consider? ation. It is believed that among the con? cessions made by Japan has been a decrease in the amount of the indem? nity demanded, and that this is the principal compromise. When the signature of Li Hung* Chang shall have been affixed to the treaty, peace will then be formally declared The Chinese viceory was clothed with plenary powers when he came to Simonoseki, and any action taken by him, therefore, in definitive. THE JAPANESE INDEMNITY-SPECULATION AS TO WHETHER IT WILL BE PAID TS SILVER OR GOLD. WASHINGTON, April 12 -Careful inquiries both at the Chinese and Japanese legations and of officials of the State department and officers of the navy, who by residence in both the contending countries have be? come familiar with their customs and currency seem to indicate a strong probability that the indemnity to be paid by China to Japan will be paid in silver and not in gold, though no definite official statement to the effect has yet been received here. Silver is the measure of value to a great extent in both countries Japan has not been called upon to negotiate any European loan payable in gold for the prosecution of the war. Therefore she has experienced no special drain of gold. China on the other hand, being heavily in debt to England and other European nations, has exported within the past few years large quantities of gold and the national treasury does not con? tain any considerable amount of this metal. Moreover, silver is the only medium of exchange in the Chinese Empire and this being the case, it would be much easier to pay the indemnity in that metal than in gold. Some misunderstanding exists as to the meaning of the word "Tael," in which the indemnity will be paid. The "taeF is not a coin, but ?a weight. It varies in value accord? ing to the price of silver. In Pekin at the present time one tael is equal to ?1 50 in Mexican silver dollars, or 75 cents lu American gold The silver is put up in form of bullion or ingots, each ingot containing silver to the amount of from 20 to 50 taels. | Beyond the fact that strong grounds j exist for believing that the indemnity j will be paid in silver, and that at no j time has gold been stipulated in the ; negotiations, no further details are obtainable at his tim?. The tael, which will be used as the measure of value, will be no doubt the Hai Kwan lael, in which customs duties are paid and whose value is as above stated, lt is believed that one of the Japanese armies now on Chinese 6oil will be retained there until the indemnity shall have been partially, if not fully, paid. .The other armies will be returned to Japan and disband? ed as rapidly as possible.

TAMPA, FLA., April 12.-Passengers who arrived last night on the steamer Mascotte from Havaoa report that the insurgents, on or about March 25, at? tacked aud captured the city of Jig? uana, a place of about 10,000 inhabi? tants, in Eastern Cuba. On April 3 Spanish troops attacked the city, but were repulsed by the in? surgents three times and finally re? treated, leaving their dead, numbering forty-five men. The CubaDS lost fifteen killed and thirty wounded. The fight lasted three hours. Jiguana is near Santiago, in the province of Santiago. The captain of the schooner which landed near Baracoa, was not killed, as the Spanish papers say, by the filibus? tering party. Two sailors of the schooner, who* are English subjects, are in prison at Santiago de Cuba. They say that the Cuban chief can prove that s Spanish naval officer killed the captain of the schooner in anger at his success at. the landing. Col. Rabi, who headed this expedition, says that the murder of the captain of the schooner was not the work of insur: gents. The captain received from them ?4.000, he says, before they sailed, and performed his contract to their satis? faction Gen. Jose M. Aguirre, who is in prison io Havana, is an American citi? zen. He served the insurgent cause in the last revolution. His nephew ar? rived last night. He follows bis broth? er to Washington to intercede for his ! uncle. The customary Holy Week Catholic j procession in Havana, which was to j take place to-day, has been forbidden by the government. -mammw^-mmmm ? The Music of Tue Mills. What a Revolution the New Mill at Newry has Effected in Oconee. SENECA, S. C., April 8.-Since the new year opened the Courtenay Mill, at Newry, has been ruuning day and night, and a full carload of goods pass here every Monday for New York and Providence. The mill is seemingly in a foll tide of successful operation, but the prices for goods are lower than ever known before. The same may be said of cotton People in Oconee know this much-that there are eight hundred population at Newry, where only eleven people lived two years ago ; 'that they live io comfortable houses and draw their support from this mill. If you could see these good people on Sunday it would be a revelation ; all well dressed, orderly, self-respecting citi? zens. There are many thousands just like them,- waiting for employment, from our upper tier of counties. 1 hear another mill, the size of the one on Little River, could be supplied with operatives from the applications now on file at that mill in two weeks. No need of importing far off people for new mills ; there are plenty waiting for a chance and good ones, too. Little River has been pouring over j thc big stone dam in a splendid water fall for months, enough water running | to waste to run another mill bigger than the one at work. Hearing that a new building was begun there I went J down to see. It is only an extension, two stories high, which will give about j five thousand feet of floor space. The machinery is making more yarn than the four hundred and forty looms can j weave, and so the exteosion is needed to put io seventy-five or one hundred more looms. The Courtenay school district bas been laid out (No. 70) and the public school opened on April 1, starting with forty or fifty boys and girls-some come from outside the school district, bat the commissioners gay that's ail right, bring the little ones along -News caul Courier. Shouthern Europe Shaken. VIENNA, April 15.-Violent shocks of earthquake were experienced throughout Southern Austria last night, ? the manifestations beginning at mid- j night. At Lajback, thirty-five miles northeast of Trieste, twenty-one skocks were felt between midnight and 7:30 this morning. All the churches, pub? lic buildings and residences were damaged. Several persons were killed by falling walls and a large number in? jured. At Vedden ten shocks were felt and at Trieste, four. Shocks were also felt at Abbazarra, Arco, Gorizia, Cill and other places, in all of which many buildings were damaged. The direction of the disturbances were northeast to northwest. Slight eiesmic vibrations were also felt io this city. Communication between Lajbach and Trieste is suspended. In many of the districts affected the people are camping out in the fields.

Dr. Stokes say9 that he desires !o hear from any young men desiring the appointment, and he desires them to state in their letter to him their full name and age, their bonafied residence, their height and condition of health, their educational attainments, wheth? er their circumstances are 9uch that they are able to secure a higher education without help other thau their families. Later he ? will appoint a time and place for holding an ] examination. However, Dr. Stokes says that j his observation and experience teaches him : that facility in answering questions in the j ordinary ruo of oral and written examina- j tions is not an infallible measure of mental j development and attainment. But the con- ; ditions of each applicant will be duly con? sidered, and he will endeavor to bestow the ; appointment jpon those qualified applicants wbo are rac^t deserving and most in need of j help.

ADVERTISING C?BOLINA, A Much Needed Work That Should Have a Generous Support. The W. ?f S. has received a prospectus of H work being issued by the well-known house of Lucas & Richardson Co., of Charleston, ihe object of which is to thoroughly advertise South Carolina's commercial and manufactur? ing resources, and build up and extend the trade of ber business men. Such works have made the West and Southwestern States what they are, and as claimed in the prospectus of this book, millions have been invested and hundreds of millions have been the fruit. The interese and endorsement of the State Government and the various Commercial and Trade Organizations have been enlisted in the work, and its publishers expect *o putout the largest edition of such a book ever issued. They propose to illustrate il handsomely with views of the different towDS and cities, their markets and busioess centres, possible water power, and the like. It will be the effort of the publishers, says the circular, to make the book every man's hand-book. The work is ic charge of Hartwell M. Ayer, a well-known newspaper man, lately editor of the Charleston Evening Post, who has left his desk to engage in this work. He will visit Sumter soon to enlist the people of this city in the enterprise. - mt- - ? - -m i When Japanese oranges have the skin removed the sections fail apart uaturally.
