spirit of giving, both among the rich
and the poor, and commented on An
drew Carnegie’s big offer to New York
city.
"Mr. Carnegie, in the generosity of
his gifts, ” said Dr. McArthur, "has
startled the world. He is certainly one
of the most remarkable men in his ac
quirement and distribution of money
tue world has ever known. He has him
self told me it required as much thought
and effort to distribute money wisely
as to acquire it freely. He is making
heroic efforts to die poor. His act is a
rebuke to many churchmen who proless
a longer creed, but whose list of good
deeds is shorter. Thousands will rise
up to honor the name of this noble
Scotch-American. ”

Washington. March 18.—The comp
troller of the currency today received
from the temporary receiver of the
failed First National hank of Niles,
Mich., a preliminary statement of the
bank’s condition. From this report it
appears that the amount of defalcation

discounts. As the bank will be unable
to resume business, a permanent re
ceiver will soon be appointed to close up
its affairs.

FIGHT AT A NEGRO DANCE.
In Trying to Suppress Kiot County (
l*olice Have Lively lime.
Atlanta, March 18. —ln attempting
to suppress a riot and arrest the rioters ;
at a negro dance 1 mile from East Point |
yesterday morning a squad of county
police had a desperate hand to hand 1
tight with a crowd of drunken negro j
men and women and pistols and knives j
were used indiscriminately.
One of the county police had his baud j
severelv slashed with a knife and au- I
other was felled to the floor with a J
heavy piece of timber.
Two negroes were cur, one shot and
three clubbed into submission.
The negroes had shot and cut each
ether before the arrival of the police.
Ten arrests were made and the rioters
are occupying cells at the Tower.
The affair is said to have .been quite
exciting while it lasted, and for a lew
minutes ip looked serious for the offi

who seemed determined to kill the po
lice and each other.
NO SEWERAGE FOR HAVANA.
Unsettled Condition of Affairs Makes
a Loan Impossible.
Havana, March 18.—It may be put
down as almost a certainty that Havana
will not be sewered this spring or sum
mer. Owing to the present unsettled
state of affairs it will be impossible for
the city to negotiate a loan. Capitalists
who have been offering to lend the city
money are now said to be viewing the
situation with a great deal of timidity,
and there appears to be no doubt that
the city will be unable to negotiate the
loan for several months.
The committee which was appointed
by General Wood to ascertain what
source of revenue could be set aside by
the city to meet the interest and form a
sinking fund for a loan of $15,000,000
has practically reported that there is not
a source of revenue to the city of Ha
vana which could be set aside for such a
purpose.

iron were piled upon the track. When
No. 33 arrived within view of the ob
struction the speed was too great for
Engineer Broom to bring his engine to
a stop, aud it crashed into the rocks and
iron with a force that caused it to leave
the track. Fortunately no one was in
jured.

mittee at Sofia and of fomenting disor
der at Salonica, Monastir and Kossove,

of the accused that the confessions pre
viously made by them were extorted by
the use of the bastinado and by other
ill treatment to which they were sub
jected while in prison. They now deuv
the charges against them.

Romblov, Island of Romblon, March
17—(By mail from Boach, Island of
Mariuduque, March 18.) —The question
of attaching this island of Mariuduque
to the province of Tavabas, discussed by
the American Philippine commission
during their arrival here, was decided
in the negative. The sentiment of the
people was wuolly in favor of forming
a separate province. A population of
/0,000 was represented during the dis
cussion and the commission has met in
telligent representatives from all the
towns. There are 800 insurgents still
in tiie mountains of Marinduque, bur
otherwise the inhabitants are anxious
for the pacification of the island and to
accept American sovereignty. Judge
Taft has announced Captain Baudholtz
to be chairman of the various commit
tees of natives formed to organize mu
nicipal law in the town of Mariuduque.
Judge Taft has promised that the com
mission will return and organize the
province of Marinduque
Major Smith, commanding the Amer
ican garrisons on this island, has issued
an order requiring ail natives to live in
the five principal towns where Ameri
can troops are stationed. Those natives
who continue to live in the country will
be considered insurgents.
A few insurgents have recently been
killed or wounded near these towns and
their supplies have been destroyed.
The inhabitants of this island favor
a drastric policy toward the insurgents.
The American Puilippines commission
will soon prepare a communication to
President McKinley on the character of
the civd government, to be established
in the archipelago. Tne matter has yet
received only informal consideration.
This port ill be the capital of the
newly formed province, composed of ad
jacent islands. It is situated at the
mouth of a deep valley and has a splen
did harbor. The people are thrifty and
prosperous and there are no insurgents
here.
Major Evan M. Johnson, Jr., of the
Twenty-ninth volunteer infantry, will
be governor and Captain Albert S. Wil
liams of the same regiment will be treas
urer of the new province.
TO GROW COFFEE IN SPAIN.
Experiment on Commercial Seale to
Ue Made.
Washington, March 18. —So long as
Cuba and Porto Rico were Spanish pos
sessions the cultivation of coffee iu the
peninsula of Spain was forbidden. Un
der the change in the condition the gov

which has practidally become a dean
letter and according to a report received
at the state department from United
States Consul Rodgely, at Malaga, an
experiment ou a commercial scale for
the home production of the bean is
about to he undertaken for the first time
in the province of Malaga at the little
village of Oampanilla, some 5 miles
from the capital.
Don Quirico Lopez, a rich merchant
of Malaga, will begin by setting out
from 20,000 to 50,000 coffee plants on liis
plantations there. Senor Lopez has al
ready made some experiments, and is
convinced that coffee can be advantage
ously grown in this province and else
where in Andalusia. Others who have
examined the question say that there is
not sufficient humidity iu the Andalu
sian climate. Practical experiments on
a large scale will be made and the re
sult is awaited with great iuterest.

London, March 18. —There is a dispo
sitiou here to think too much has been
made of the Anglo-Russian incident at

any undue aggressiveness ou the part of
