through unquestionable reliable
sources that the Congressional party
of Chilli, otherwise known as the In

the steamer Itata and her cargo; that

Itata any further, but will proceed to
Callao and there the Itata will be
handed over to the American authori-
ties
The bulletin adds: 1t is probable
proceedings will then follow in the
federal COURTS of the United States,
but it is definitely settled that there
will be no guns fired in the capture of

Charleston is practically off. The Pa

 pointed Receiver of the Maverick,
 Through the Opposition of Hyde and
 Potter-The Banks Favor MT. Beal.
 BOSTON, Nov. 5.-The facts regarding the loans of the Maverick Bank have been in possession of the Comptroller of the Currency since last January, and it is now intimated that another Comp troller is likely to be appointed before long.
 The general loan account outside of the S2, 400, 900 due from directors and the Evans losses is good, and shows good Judgment and careful banking. The directors loans have still consi derable collateral behind them.
 Speculation is the one word that ex- plains all-speculation in stocks and grain, with the Maverick Bank funds backing the deals.
 The first great speculation of the Nav erick Bank was by Messrs. French and Potter in New York 6 New England. It was successful from a pecuniary point or view, but in that success lay con- cealed the ultimate ruin of the bank.
 In the New York & New England mys- tery deal the bauk's funds were used to startling degree, and the system of operations then begun eliminated in the ruin of the bank and it's directors
 Although the Maverick has been known as speculative bank, no one outside of Mr. Evans and the bank directors could have imagined the extent of the specula- tions.
 It is now not to be wondered at that when the death of Irving A. Evans was announced that President Potter, in the directors room, should have physically collapsed, but it is wonder, in the light of present revelations, that he should for so many days have patched up af- fairs and stemmed the current
 The run on the Five-Cent Savings Bank continues. The banking-room is crowded, mostly with women. Police men are guarding the entrance and en- deavoring to keep the growing crowd moving.
 The assigners of the firm of Irving A. Evans 6 Co.,, as yet have not secured a majority of the creditors upon the as- to be the unwillingness of the creditors to have their names made public.
 It is believed, however, that majority will ultimately sign.
 T. F. Beal, President of the Second National Bank, had not received his ap- pointment as receiver of the Maverick Bank up to last night. It is thought the papers are withheld at the instance of Messrs Hyde aud Potter, who object to the appointment.
 The appointment of MT. Beal would likely lead to the distribution of $2, 0OO,- 900 in the Mavericks vaults among the National banks.
 It is unders tood the banks favor MT. Beal's appointment, and would not care to act under agreement to relieve de- positors of the Maverick unless a thorough banking man, who had their fullest confidence was put in charge.
 Jonas H. French, the Maverick Bank director, has been unable to obtain satis- factory bonds, and he will have to re- main in the custody of United States Deputy Marshal. Both of the bonds men offered were rejected by Commis- sioner Hallett

FIVE HUNDRED CAPTURED.
Convicts Released by the Miners Real
 rested In KentuckH.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov B. While there have been rumors in circulation in East Tennessee during the last two days that a mob intended to attack the branch prisons at Tracy City and h. man, it is thought there is little founda- tion for them.
 There are 620 convicts at these prisons. and extra guards have been placed on duty at each of them.
 Speaking of the release of the convicts the Governor said:
 "There should have been a heavy guard at each of these prisons. The trouble has been that the lessees and the representatives of the State have each refused to pay extra guards and there have been none. The stocka les should have been defended with powder and ball.
 The two remaining prisons must be defended vigorously, for doing so is not only sustaining the law, but it is de- lending the good citizens of the State against danger from criminals at large. The prisons must be guarded and the matter must be settled afterwari to the counties.'' y
 Several heavy boxes, supposed to con tain arms, have been sent by express from the State armory to the officials at the prisons.
 Gov Buchanan has ordered the State Superintendent of prisons to take vigor- ous action.
 It is certain that a mob would not now move on the Tracy City an1 In man prisons unless they were determined to do or die.
 Gov. Buchanan, in an interview, could not say whether the leaders of the mob, if arrested, could be convicted in Ander- son County.
 Dispatches received from several points i'll Kentucky state that over 300 convlcts have been captured and are held to await instructions from the State or the lessees.
 Governor Buchanan has offered a re- ward of $5 900 for the arrest aud couvic- tion of the leader of the mob at Lover Springs, and one of $250 for every man convicted of participation in the riot.
