A Stirring Time in Newfound-
land Waters.
The Fishing Fleet Carry Bait to the French
Cruisers in Pursult-A Government
Official Thrown. Overheard.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
HALIFAX, N. S., April 2S.-Information
from ST. Johns to-day gives particulars OF
the running of the boat blockade and sup
plying OF bait to the French feet at ST.
Pierre, who offered S. and Sc barrel for
it. At Bay Dustea and Bay Dunard, less
than forty miles distant in Fortune bay,
were inexhaustible supplies of herring.
American vessels were getting baitings at
$40 a vessel People along the shores of
Fortune bay are in a state Of semi-starva-
ton. The fishery has been going from bad
to worse for years. The sale of bait is the
only thing by which they keep body and
soul together. While American vessels
were getting whole batting for $40, the
French feet would gladly pay 5000 for the
same quantity, but armed cruisers were on
hand to prevent the poor people from talk
ing advantage of this bonanza Then the
people determined upon defying the law
Two hundred boats and one hundred sail
gathered in Bay Destea from all along the
shores of Fortune bay and loaded up with
herring. The crew of every vessel was
armed with scaling guns. Meanwhile the
government had taken alarm and dispatched
the cruisers Fiona, Lady Glover and Favor
tie to the spot. Threats of violence were
openly made The fishermen announ ced
they were going to take bait to ST. Pierre
and load it up. At noon next day over
sixty sail weighed anchor with splendid
breeze. The cruisers gave chase. One
vessel, commanded by Captain Banfield,
was overtaken and ordered to heave to.
The police boarded her. Not a word was
spoken, but three of the crew picked the
representative of the law up in their arms
and tossed him overheard as quietly and
unconcernedly as though he had been bag
of hay. He was picked up by the steamer
The schooner was captured and towed into
Harbor Briton, where the captain was
jailed for smuggling and three of the crew
for attempted murder. The cruisers fol
lowed the bait into French waters and ther
returned. The Observation-Disclosures disposed
of the herring to the F'renchmen at gooc
prices, but the cruisers have the names O.
all the crafts that ran the blockade. Upol
their return to colonial waters they will b,

New York Ninth National Bank in Trouble.


NEW YORK, April 2S.-Rumors were cur
rent late this afternoon that the Ninth
National bank was in trsuble. Investiga-
ton showed that Bank Examiner Hepburn
and clearing house committee were max
ing an investigation. Tonight Hepburn
made a statement to the press to the effect
the investigation reveals a shortage of
100000, chargeable to the former president
of the bank. While the loss is serious. it
does not impair the banks solvency nor it's
ability to take care of customers. The as
sets besides the loss entioned, are of good
character and the discounts of exception
ally good character. The bank, said Mr..
Hepburn, had been unfortunate, but it is
perfectly sound and entitled to the support
of depositors and the public. The clearing
house committee issued a statement Of
similar purport endorsing the bank. The
late president referred to was John T. Hill,
who died March last of consumption. 1t
was only a few days ago when anything
wrong was discovered.

accepted the office by request; that's
all. In regard to jumping the town site, as
he says did, a letter from the land Office
came here stating that the TOWNSHIP was
vacant land and subject to entry. A few
neighbors went up to the county seat to
find out from Judge Bake, the man who

some steps to protect US in the titles to

Anyone who is acquainted with the laws
would know there is no advantage in any,
one filing on townsite except to benefit
those who own the lots. Each one of our
lots would make twenty two such lots az
the law provides for and no one can take
more than four Of those small lots. One of
our lots, even if we could get It under the
TOWNSHIP act, would cost $3.50, but through
Mr.. Layton we got the them for s2260.
We are glad that it does not have to be
entered under the townsite act

sense enough to see we would not be fool
enough to try TO jump the town when we
would lose so much by it. w. w. DAMRow,

Argentine Financial Policy,

LONDON, April %. - The Standards
Buenos Ayres correspondent says: ''Presi-
dent Pelligrini states the Argentine govern
ment has decided to issue notes against the
reserve of silver, to be legal tender for all
