ST. Louis, July 21.-Senor Juan Cortez,
of Chihuahua, Mexico, passed through the
city to-day en- route to Chicago on bust

this morning, said that the proposed scheme

by the United States could only have origi-
mated on this side of the RE Grande.

Gated Mexican bears no i'll will against this
country. but the large majority OF cur
people never forget that you took California
from US and beat Us in battle. Those facts
still raakle in their breasts, and rather than
let Chihuahua or any other part Of our
country become a part Of the United States,
no matter what the consideration, think
that they would fight again. The life OF
an American in the small towns of Mexico
is anything but Pheasant and few OF them
can stand the taunts and jeers with which
they are received. In the larger cities it is
different Oh! no, the time when the Mex

SEDALIA, Mo-, July 22.-The reports Of
the defalcations of Emmett King, the book
keeper of the Sedalia Savings Bank, which
have been current for nearly week, were
doubted by many and denied by the bank,
though known to be true by few. The
following card published yesterday told the
tale which could no loBge be suppressed:
"To the public: At meeting of the BoarS of
Directors of the Sedaia Savings Bank this
day held, it was deemed just alike TO the
bank and the public to state that the bank
has sustained serious losses in having its
funds distracted. The Directors have per-
fected arrangements by which the bank is
prepared to meet every dollar Of its oblira-
tons. Its business affairs will be put IN
process of liquidation without making an
assignment DepositOrs can call at the
bank az their pleasure and receive their de.
posts" The bank officials. with the aid of
an expert from Kansas CITY. have examined
the books and found that there have
been systematic defalcations for the
last FIVE or six years to the amount
OF about $4,000 over and above the Sl0.-
coo returned. or nearly the capital stock of
the bank. $4,000. 1t is believed that
more will be discovered. False entries
were made on the daily balance sheets,
sometimes to the amount of $1,000. How
it escaped the observation of the cashier 80
long is a surprise to all, as is Kings re-
tention when his habits must have been
known to the officers. Yesterday there was
a big run on the bank by depOsitOrs.
but it was paying promptly. and no loss il
feared. The deposits amounted to $780,
coo. Late Monday night King was ar
rested on a State warrant sworn out by
John J. Risler, one of the directors.

Alarming Prevalence of Cholera Morbus in

PITTsBURG, July 20.-The alarming pre-
valence of cholera morbus in Allegheny is
being commented upon on all sides, and the
physicians state that they have never known
the disease to be so generally fatal as 1t is
this year. Remedies which in ordinary
cases are efficient seem to be powerless in
most instances now. In the last three days
there have been a number of fatal cases
reported in Allegheny, and hast night
there were three cases in the
neighborhood attended by death. A
prominent physician states that he is kept
busy night and day attending to cholera
morbus cases, and he never knew the
disease to be so prevalent He also states
that the disease is caused in most instances
by the impure drinking water, which is not
fit for consumption. He has instructed his
patients not to drink the water under any
consideration, but il the water must be
used to boil it first This plan is being gen.
orally followed in Allegheny, as all physi-
clans strongly recommend it
