CLEVELAND ON FINANCE.

The President Talks the Govern-
+ment's Monetary Situation
WASHINGTON, June 26--The presi-
dent speaking of the financial situa-
ton. said yesterday:
1.-The offer of certain of the New
York banks to replace from their
vaults the gold withdrawn from the
government treasury for shipment
abroad is certainly thoughtful and
patriotic. 1t not only tends to main
tain the treasury's gold reserve in
good condition. but adds to the stock
of popular confidence, which is at all
times important.
The elements which make up our
actual situation do not justify any
apprehension and the administra ton
still adheres to its pledge and deter
mination to protect our national
credit at all hazards and to keep the
quality of our money equal to the
best, so far as the limits of executive
power permits. OF course, croaking
and the spread of disquieting tales
are calculated to alarm in the string
emit financial condition I assume,
however, that there is too much parti-
otlsm among our people and too
much familiarity with our resources
and capabilities to permit our re-
served force and financial vigor to be
discre dited.
when the last government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock of
gold it was nearly as low as now
While outside of our gold we had as
available money to pay ordinary ex-
penses of the government only about
$40. 600, 600, we have now besides our
gold, and in money applicable to gov
eminent expenses more than $50, o0O,-
600. I understand it is charged in
certain quarters that the payment of
matnred obligations is postponed to
the amount of $50. 1000, 900 or $75, OOo,-
600. This is not true. We are paying
as we go in the usual way.
Last year, up to June, the balance
against arising from the exports
and imports of merchandise, exclud-
ing gold and silver, was $64, $50, O4O.
The balance in our favor for the same
period this year was $62, $50, 562, rep
resenting a change in our favor of
1927, SIG, 6O8. These conditions, taken
in consideration with the willingness
of our banks to help the treasury dur
ing any temporary unusual drain
OF gold, ought to satisfy the most con-
sentative of our safety. It must not
be forgotten as another favorable
feature in the situation, that we are
no longer purchasing silver or issuing
gold obligations therefor

santo Comes From the southernm Ost
Canton of Switzerland
PARIS, June 26.-Santo, the muir
derer, has boldly asserted that he IS
an anarchist, and therefore upon the
the anarchists are the people pouring
their wrath Further than asserting
that he is an anarchist the prisoner
has not apparently made any state
ment, but it is. reported that the po-
lice are convinced that the assassina-
ton of President Carnot is the result
of plan in which some other of the
people are concerned Indeed, there no
longer seems to be much doubt that
the presidents assassina ton was the
result of an anarchistlc conspiracy to
avenge the deaths of Valiant and
Emil Henri, the two recently executed
anarchists.
A dispatch from Rome says that the
investigation which the Italian au-
thorities have made into the identity
of Santo. the assassin, shows that he
is not an Italian, but that he comes
from Ticino, the southermost canton
of Switzerland, where the large ma
jority of the inhabitants speak
Italian.
Another dispatch from Rome says
Santo is the son of Marie Broglio and
archists at an early age In Janu-
ary, 1892, he tried, with two fellow
Anarchists, to start newspaper, but
was unable to raise the funds neces-
sary to float it. The police watched
him until the end of 1898, when he
went to Switze rland.
Jas result of police inquiry the fol-
lowing facts in regard to the assas-
sins movements previous to the crime
have been learned: Santo missed the
train running direct to Lyons from
Cette on Saturday and had to go to
Mont Pellier and thence to Vienna
From there he was unable to pay his
fare on the train to Lyons, having
only sixty centimes in his pocket, and
was obliged to walk thirty miles. He
arrived at Lyons the same afternoon.
Examining Magistrate Benoist yes
terday ordered the assassin to be
brought before him, and questioned
him regarding the crime. The pris-
oner, however, obstinately refused to
make any statement further than an
nouncing that ne would explain his
mo i've to the jury when the proper
time arrived.

almost all his followers; Behanzin the
. barbarian, for whom his army of anna
IONS once fought with the fury of de-
mons incarnate, and whose only civilized
trait seems to have been an almost Euro
pean disregard for the solemn obliga-
tions of treaties when they no longer
suited him; Behanzin the cruel who
made slaves of his captives, and whose
career was one long tragedy of bloodshed
and pillage, is now prisoner ON the
French island of Martinique, where he
is condemned to pass the remainder of
his life in exile far from the land that
once groaned beneath his absolute and
merciless sway.
When Behanzin sent his expedition
into Porto Novo in 1892, his fierce anna
IONS pillaged and devastated a number
of villages, carrying hundreds of prison
ers to Abomey. The French Immediate
ly sent messengers to the king demand
ing the instant release of the prisoners.
The reply was conveyed to Porto Novo
by a Dahoman warrior and consisted
of a large basket containing the heads Of
the French messengers.
Then the French marched on Abomey.
King Behanzin was outmanuvered. and
he retreated, burning and destroying as
he went. He issued an order for all his
subjects to follow him. The French en-
tered Abomey without opposition. Be-
hanzin was abandoned by almost all Of
his people, and his brother was made
king by General Dodds. Behanzin then
sent message to the French general,
Offering to surrender on condition that
he should not be delivered into the hands
of the new king, saying that he would
prefer death to humiliation. The French
man assured him of personal safety and
told him he WOO ! be exiled and provided
with the means of living.
With Benhazin at Martinique are four
of his wives, one of his children and four
servants. The French government al
lows him stipend of ~, 900 francs
year. Martinique is one of the West In
dia islands and French colony. Fort de
France, the chief town, with popula-
ton of about Is, 600, stands ON bay on
the west coast. st. Pierre, the CONNER
cial center of the island, with about g.,
900 population, lies farther north.
