day for United States.
Havana, July 14.—Many Cuban papers
flatly deny the existence of “plots" against
American visitors, who remain here a few
days and thep return to the United States,
but there is undoubtedly a considerable
element endeavoring to sow dissentions
among the Cubans and using every means
to array them against the Americans.
Even the province of Matanzas, which
is supposed to be the most peaceable dis
trict, has such malcontents within Us bor
ders.
Claim American Deceit.
Recently 2,000 leaflets were issued in the
city of Matanzas, in the form of an ad
dress to the people in the following vein:
"Cubans, you men of honor, whom Span
ish bullets respected, and whom fever and
hunger only served to make doubly strong,
your mother country calls you to make
her stronger and grander, because there
are those who wish to humiliate her. You
who have been proved in fray and hard
ships, you who have helped to convert
our family hearthstones into bread, cloth
ing, medicine or arms; you who have been
ready to give your very lives, even when
you would have left your adored ones
to a miserable orphanage to know only
the pain of living by menia! toll, their
beautiful eyes full of tears; you whose
women were born to be happy only as their
country is free; you that mother asks to
be ready to hurl from the country the
crafty eagle, a* you have removed the
haughty and hungry Spanish lion.
"Let one thought only be ours. So long
as our flag does not flutter from Cape
Maisi to Capo San Antonio, there, will be
only ruin, desolation and vandalism for
our fertile fields, our rich treasuries, our
wealth and beauty. The Americans de
ceive us. They tyrannize over us. They
are masters of our places and forts. They
make a display of wealth and power and
reduce us lo the levef of men without a
country and without a faith.
Says It Must Stop.
“No! This cannot continue. The inter
vening 'tower must keep is promises or
give quantities of blood to pay for its am
bition. Be ready to answer the cry of the
country. While we men do our duty, let our
sisters, if necessary, convert their jewels
into rifles and cannon, as they have al
ready done, and let them at the same'time
make bandflg s of lint to staunch Che blood
of liberty. There will be with you all the
soul of your chief. Betancourt.”
One copy of this pronunciamento is in the
possession of Gen. Ludlow. The name Be
tancourt is common among the Cuban’s;
and, while an address like this, though
inflaming the passions of those who read
it, scarce'y points to any present danger,
still, in the opinion of men prominent in
Havana business circles, it indicates some
possibilities of the future.

(Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross So

gation process, and locked up for conceal
ing a ease of fever at his own residence.
This patient, an English employe of the
North America Trust Company, died to
day.

NO MORE UNSTAMPED (HECKS.
Revenue Commissioner Sny* Draw
ers Must Stamp Them.
Washington, July 14.—Commissioner Wil
son of internal revenue has issued a circu
lar absolutely prohibiting banks from af
fixing stamps to checks unstamped when
presented, and requiring them to return
the same to the drawers. In his circular
io collectors, {he commissioner says:
"You are directed to notify the banks
that are guilty of stamping unstamped
checks that, if the practice is not imme
diately discontinued they will be reported
to the United States district attorney for
prosecution.
“The instruction contained in Treasury
Decision No. 19608, under date of June 29,
1898, to the effect that there was no ob
jection to the affixing by the bank of
requisite stamps to an unstamped check
presented for payment is hereby revoked.
"This instruction was given to meet an
ejnerg'itey immtdiatfly proceeding the
taking effect of the stamp act of July 1,
1898, in order to obviate the necessity of
returning by Ihe banks thousands of un
stamped checks Issued hy drawers In ig
norance of the law. The law being now
generally understood there is no further
need of such permission."
This action was taken upon information
that certain banks had adopted the prac
tice of not requiring s'amps, as an ad
vertisement to secure patronage as against
rival banks.

SHE WILL HE SURRENDERED.
Mr*. Rich Will Be Turned Over to
Mexico for Trial for Murder.
Washington, July 14.—Mis. Rich is to be
surrendered to the Mexican authorities
to be tried for the murder of her hus
band. For days past telegrams and let
ters have been coming to the President
and to Secretary Hay, some almost hys
terical in the strength of their protests
against the extradition of the woman. It
has been represented that she Is,insane;
that there are impending obstacles; that
she is Innocent of the crime charged
against her; and finally, that It would
be an act of barbarism to place an Amer
ican woman at the mercy of Mexican law
and officialism.
All of these considerations have been
weighed, and it has been decided that un
less Mrs. Rich is surrendered there can
be no hope of securing the surrender to our
officers of the many Mexican border
thieves and criminals who plunder on our
side of the line and retreat into Mexico,
so the precedent will be established.

from Admiral Dewey;
“Port Said, July 14, 1899.—T0 Secretary
of the Navy. Washington: Olympia in
voluntary quarantine. As soon as coaled
proceed to Trieste for practique and re
cuperation, officers ano men. “Dewey."
Inasmuch as he is silent on the subject,
it is assumed that no change has occured
in the health of Admiral Dewey and his
men since their departure from Hong
Kong, when all were reported well. It is
said at the navy department that the
admiral’s reference to "practique” means
simply that he is going to Trieste to get
a clean bill of health that will enable him
to continue his voyag through the Medi
terranean without delays rrom the health
authorities at the various points.

from Samoa.
He says that the friction alleged to have
existed In Samoa between the Germans,
on the one hand, and the Americans and
British on the other, was very much ex
aggerated. But every vestige of friction,
he says, disappeared with the uppearance
of the commissioners representing the (tar
ties to the tripartite agreement. The ar
rangement they made, he thinks, prom
ises to be perfectly satisfactory.

National linnk.
New Y’ork, July 11.—George M. Valen
tine. cashier of the Middlesex County
Bank of Perth Amboy N. J., which was
closed today, has surrendered himself
and is now in Jail on account of the short
age In the bank's funds which has been
variously estimated all the way to $163,000.
The affair caused consternation and dis
may among the business men of Perth
Amboy, where the Middlesex County
Bank was considered as strong ns the
Eternal Hills. So panic-stricken did the
residents of Perth Amboy become when it
was learned that the Middesex County
Bank had failed to open for business as
usual this morning that crowds surround
ed tlie Perth Amboy Savings institution,
but tlie run was of brief duration.
On Monday last Cashier Yaicntine evi
dently concluded that lie could no longer
conceal the shortage nt the Middlesex
Couniy Bank. In the morning lie told Pres
ident Watson that he was detained, but
that he would appear nt noon. The bunk
had then opened tor business, and Mr.
Watson, who was taking the absent cash
ier's place, discovered that there should
have been some $7.9X1 in bills on hand to
commence operations that morning. These
he could not find.
An investigation of the bank's accounts
indicated immediately that they had been
juggled for more. It was discovered that
Valentine had checked heavl.'y against the
Park National Bank of lhis city, a corre
spondent of the Middlesex Bank, but the
figures on the stubs of his cheekbtx'k did
not correspond to thpte on the cheeks
themselves, the checks calling for more
than Ihe stubs recorded. This method of
financiering ruined the bank.
Cashier Valentine returned to Perth Am
boy from a brief absence, and was ar
rested.
President Watson is of the opinion that
the cashier's defalcation will amount to
at least $125,000. Where the money went
is not known, as Ihe cashier Is said to
have been moderate in his tastes and hab
its of life. Valentine’s bond was fixed for
$50,000. His relatives arc wealthy, and U
is said they will endeavor to make good
the shortage.

TEXANS EIGHT DESPEIt \TEI.Y.
Texarkana Citizens Killed nnd
Wounded Over Fence Dispute.
Texarkana, Tex., July 14.—“ At New Bos
ton, Bowie county, there oecured one of
the wildest and most desperate street bat
tles that has yet been recorded In the
lighting history of that town.
“The trouble emanated from a fuss over
a barbed wire fence which separates the
farms of Ira Smith and W. D. Hays. The
two men met at a prayer meeting last
Sunday, when their cane was talked over
the meeting resulting in a fight in which
Hays was bested. The difficulty was
brought before the peace officers and the
men were arrested.
“At their trial to-day and while a re
cess was on, the difficulty was re-opened.
Smith went into a saloon. W. D. Hays
and his brothers. Hall and S. J. Hays, fol
lowed him. Shooting began at once.
Smith, who Is said to have been unarmed,
was killed outright. Ills friend* came up
on the scene and took part in the conflict.
They were Jack, John and Rill Fricks.
A general battle then ensued.
When their revolvers were emptied, the
participants used the butt ends of their
weapons with deadly effect. W. D. Hays
was mortally wounded; 8. J. Hays receiv
ed a crushed sktlil and will die; Will Hays
was shot Iri the arm. J. B. Manning, ex
county attorney und a participant, was
shot twice, one ball piercing the body. Two
other bystanders were also wounded, one,
a merchant named W. H. Hart, having
his arm shot off.
Half Hays, the least wounded of any of
the participants, was arrested and placed
In jail, nnd other arrests will follow. The
Fricks brothers were not hurt. Ira Smith
and the Hays boys were cousins.

bu-Tlet wounds, he may eventually recov
er. Sheriff Allen will then transfer him to

New York, July 14.—The fire on the
William C. Whitney estate, at Westbury,
L. 1., last night, did not destroy the coun

damage tc the structure was comparative
ly small. The total loss from the fire is

Atlanta, July 14.—The seizure of oil by
inspectors under the direction of State
Commissioner of Agriculture O. B. B,ev
ens, promises to result In the sale of a
better quality of oil in Georgia, if nothing
else comes of It.
Commissioner St evens held a long con
ference with Attorney General Terrell thi.
afternoon, and at ting upon Mr. Terrell's
advlee he wllf apply a higher test to oil
hereafter than has ever been user! In the
stale Itcfore. He has adopted what is
known as the N w York test, the highest
known, and Issued orders lo ull inspectors
throughout the s'uto lo this effect lo
nlitbt
Attorney General Terrell Informed Com
miss.oner Stevens that the state could not
confiscate the oil recently seized In tanks
In Savannah and other cllles. These tanks
under the plan adopted by Commissioner
Stevens upon the advice of Attorney Gen
eral Terrell will be stamped “slate of
Georgia, rejected." The eontt nts cannot Ire
sold until brought up lo tho standard of
quality. Then after another inspection,
which It must pass to the satisfaction of
the Inspector, it can he sold. The Instruc
tions issued 10-ntght us to the new lest
are as follows:
Tire New liiNtractlons.
"Fill the glass cup of the tagllabues In
strument with oil to be tested so that
the surface of the oil shall come within
one quarter of an Inch of the level sur
face of the cup. The water in the hath
must surround the oil cup to one-quarter
of an Inch of the surface of the oil. Tho
bulb of the thermometef shall l Just
Immersed below the surface of the oil.
You shall make tests In a room with all
doors and windows closed. You shall avoid
breathing against tho Instrument while
making the test of the oil. In tfi'lng the
instrument with water use wafi i, of the
ordinary temperature of the air. Use an
alcohol lamp, small flume, und heat a.
follows:
“Raise the temperature until the ther
mometer Indicates 9o degrees Fahrenheit.
Then remove the lan>|| until the residual
heat of the water curries the temperature
of the oil to 95 degrees. Then try for a
flash with a small bit of lire on the end
of a string, passing the string stead.ly
and with moderate rapidity once back and
forth on a level with the surface of th*
eup Just as nearly as possible, one-quur
ler of an inch from lhe surface of Ilia
oil. Now replace the lamp until the tem
perature is 99 degrees. Remove the lamp
until the temperature Is 102 degrees. Try
for flash and replace the lamp, and so on,
until you reach 116 degrees, when you
try for flash and replace the lamp. Then
test for flush or burning point at 117 de
grees. at 118 degrees and at 119 degrees
Fahrenheit. If the oil docs not burn at
either of iheso points, remove the lamp
at 12U degrees and wait until the tempera
ture reaches 123 degrees, when anew test
Is made and the lamp reapplied, and fol
low this ptoeedure at intervals of 7 de
grees until the oil burns, when the oil
is branded at the exact number of de
grees at which it burned.”
If the 041 burns under 120 degrees It
will be condemned. Whether the Stand
ard Oil people will submit quietly to this
new test, is not known.

Detroit People Mnj Ride on Cnrs fo
Little Money.
Detroit, July 14.—Three-cent fares ar
announced to-day on the fronts of Detroit
street cars in the places where amusement
advertising signs are usually carried. This
sudden voluntary reduction Is the result
of a derision of Gov. Plngree and Tom
L. Johnson to give the people an object
lesson upon what they may look forward
to if the present plans of the sale of all
the Detroit railways to the Detroit Mu
nicipal Railway Company, 1n Ire half of the
city, win out. The 3-cent tickets sold to
day at five for 15 cents are so worded
that their use for full payment of their
fares can bo withdrawn ul any time.
The city is In a furor over the present
situation. All the newspapers and nearly
all the prominent citizens are opposing the
Plngree plan, and It Is now rialnrad that
the majority of ciilzi ns opiswe It on the
ground that three-cent fares and quasi mu
nicipal ownership will fall to pay tho ex
penses and, the *17.000,000 proposed to lie
paid for the roads; and that they will, if
purchased, revert to the present owners.
Gov. Plngree elnlms that tho roads will
certainly pay off their purchase price un
der three-cent fares. He is having circu
lars distributed on the streets giving Ida
side of the controversy.
