AMERICAN SHIP SUNK.
Story Comes from Havana t at
the Arcedo Shot Into
Schooner.

New York, March 1S.-A special from
Tampa, Fla. says: Passengers on the
steamer which arrived from Havana bring
news Of reports in circulation there OF
further depredations by Spanish cruisers
on American vessels along the Cuban
coast The latest report is to the effect
that the Spanish gunbOat Arcedo fired
into and sunk an American schooner off
Puerto Padre. 1t is reported that the
crew of the vessel. numbering sixteen
persons. persisted with it. 1t is not known
whether the schooner had arms or carried
an expedition for Cubans. 1t was report,
ed in Havana that the schooner had
sailed from Key West. Inquiries, howev-
er, fail to show that any boat is missing
or unreported except those engaged in
legitimate trade. Many sailed recently
fer West Indian ports with cargoes."
Puerto del Padre is Il harbor on the
northeast coast of Cuba, in latitude 21.17
north, longitude 7642 west. 1t has
long and narrow entrance and affords eX>
cellent anchorage. 1t is not far from the
place where the Spanish gunboat fired on
the Alliance. The Spanish cruiser In,
fanta Isabel, Capt Duenas, has sailed
drawn on account of the Allianca affair.
Key West Fla. March 1S.-The chief
topic among the passengers by the steam
er which just arrived from Havana was
the unsatiSfa Glory outcome of the inter
view had by the commissioner sent by
the government to treat with the rebel
leaders in arms in the eastern provinces.
What inducements were offered by the
commissioner for the cessation of hos
tilitieS or what guarantees were promised
are not known. but all propositions were
rejected by the insurgents. They said
they held the situation and were in a
position to dictate their own terms The
entire press editorially deprecates the re-
suit of the conference and asserts that
it has done more harm than good.
Washington, d. c.. March 1S.-NOth-
ing whatever is known here of reports
published in today's New York Herald
under a Key West date that Il Spanish
gunboat fired on an unknown American
vessel off the Cuban coast. Dispatches
to the Associated Press last night from
Key West contained no mention of any
such occurrence and there is no Spanish
war vessel of the name given, the Ar
cedo.
Washington, d. c.. March 1S.-The
from official sources touching the report
that the Spanish cruiser ArcedO fired
upon and sunk a small American schoOn-
er off the Cuban coast and the report
finds little credence here. The naval reg
lister shows that the Arcedo is a small
schooner-1igged iron gunboat built in
Spain in 1888 and of about nine knots
speed. It is not known whether or not
she is in Cuban waters.
Other sources of information than the
state department are likewise without any
information on the matter and are IT.

Assault a Presbyterian Minister at Crys-
tai Falls.

Crystal Falls, Mich, March 1S-The
city is in an uproar over an unprovoked
assault upon Rev. Mr.. Smith of the Pres
byterian church. On election day the
saloons were open all day. In the even
ing as Mr.. Smith was walking down the
street looking through the windows of
saloons to see whether or not they were
closed three or four enraged saloonkeepers
assaulted him and bruised him so severely
that doctor had to dress and stitch the
wounds The saloon men, Doucet, Aberle
and Schook, were at once arrested, under
the charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm, less than the crime of
murder, and placed under $500 bonds for
their appearance tomorrow Doucet has
been arrested again for keeping his saloon
open on February %, and several more
saIoonkeepers were arrested for keeping
their saloons open ON election day.

Land on the CooSa River is Inun-
dated for More than Forty
Miles.

Gadsden, Ga, March 1S.-Further de-
tails of the waterspout on the Coosa
river, thirty miles north of here, show
that the damage was heavy. The river
and creeks adjacent to it were over
flowed for forty miles, inundating low
lands, destroying crops and sweeping
away many houses. 1t is not yet known
exactly how many lives were lost. One
report says only three persons were
drowned-Jake Alverson and family
while another says six or seven were
lost The inundated section was thinly
settled or the loss would have been heav-
Ter. The rise in the river has since abat-
ed.
Montgomery, Ala, March 1S.-The
special sent from Alabama that storm
passed over the northern part of the state
doing considerable damage seems to have
been greatly exaggerated as no lives are
known to be lost and no great amount of
property was destroyed.

KANSAS CITY BANK FAILS.
The Nationals Doors Are Closed
Had Suffered in the
1898 Panic.

Kansas City, Mo, March 1S.-The Ma
tional bank of Kansas City failed to omen
it's doors this morning. The direct cause
of the failure was the unfavorable state
ment Of the banks affairs given on March
5.
In the panic of 1898 the bank sus-
pended, but through an arrangement be-
tween depositors and the stockholders il
was permitted to resume business. The
steady withdrawal of deposits since that
time has placed the bank in an embarrass
ing position and necesstated another
suspension. The statement given out is
not complete. 1t shows assets of 81. 500
900 and liabilities Of S1,0o0,00O. The
Star this afternoon will say editorially
that none of the banks of the city will be
in any way affected being in splendid
condition.
The total deposits aggregate S4OO. 900:
cash on hand yesterday. 100000. The
bank is the oldest financial institution in
the city, having been established by
Messrs, j. II. & w. III. Chick before the
war. Until the panic of 1893 it was re-
garded as one of the strongest banks in
the West. In July, 1898, it succumbed
to q run and temporarily closed its doors
The following figures show the gradual
falling off in the banks business since the
panic of 1898. On July y, 1898, the total

TO CAPTURE SANTIAGO.
Gen. Moncada Has 400 Rebels In
trenChed Behind the
Town.

Kingston, Jamaica, March 16.-Authen-
tic advices direct state that the revolution
is progressing most favorably. Exact in
formation as to the various movements
cannot readily be obtained owing to gov
eminent censorship over Geographic COM
municatio This was foreseen and pro-
yided for. Each revolutionary leader
fights on rs own account, thus distract
ing the Spanish forces and leaving them
in perpetual doubt as to where and when
the next blow will be struck.
At every point occupied the insurgents
first act is to destroy the telegraph SO
the government shall be left in the dark
as to their movements 1t is supposed
at Havana and Santiago that DR.. Grillo,
the president of the Autonomy party, and
lrbaIa Sanchez have fled before the
Spanlards. Their movements, however,
are strategic. Grillo is here. He came
yesterday via Montegro bay. Sanchez
has gone to San Domingo. The arrival of
GrillO is but the carrying out of one of
its principal plans of the insurgents.
Fourteen other insurgents accompany
him.
The Cubans here are very active, vet no
overt act that could bring them under the
direct notice of the British authorities
has been or is likely to be committed.
In fact to all appearances these visitors
know nothing about any revolution and do
t1OluILS Out D6udFe themselves WIN great
circumspection. Besides mystifying the
military authorities by dark movements
the insurgent forces have struck several
blows heavily and with rapidity, each,
1t is declared having accomplished its
object. They were all to secure strategic
points. Many points of vantage are now
occupied inland and good secret coast po-
sitions are held, through which supplies
are drawn despite Spanish watchfulness
At Santiago the insurgents hold q
strongly intrenched position not far from
the city, under the command of Gen.
Moncada, Quintin Bundera and Victo-
rian Carson. They are 400 strong and
we'll equipped with four months sup
plies Several attempts to disIodge them
have proved futile and costly to the
Spaniards. Moncada is, or rather was,
awaiting instructions and reinforcements
to enable him to capture Santiago
AT Barre, 500 armed men made dem
Onstration. There were also few fights
in Jagury Grande, Matanzas There
We're 1000 troops ordered to Santiago on
March 1 and there was Il fight at Ybarra
with the insurgents, who were driven to
the mountains. Twenty rifles and $4,000
cartridges were captured.
A lively fight with Insurgents at Mocha
was reported on March ? and thirty-four
were captured. At Vequita 800 rebels
met the Spanish soldiers. There were
eleven killed and many prisoners taken.
The same day a demand was made in
the cabinet at Madrid for unlimited ap-
preparations to suppress the rebellion.

MILLIONS IN SIGHT.
Holy Terror Gold Mine in Dakota
Proving Banana to the
DISCOVERIES.

Keystone, S. D., March 16.-The last
cleanup of the stamp mill of the Holy
Terror gold mine here was the richest
ever known. The report from the stamps
was more than 400 ounces, the result of
a three days run, valued at $4,000.
The Holy Terror mine was discovered
in October and has only a stamp mill
at the bottom of the 100-foot shaft. A
pocket of ore was found yesterday aver
aging So per ounce or 1898, 600 to the
ton The entire ore body from the sur
face to the bottom of the shaft averages
over 500 to the ton.
The mine belongs to two prospectors
who have always been poor. 1t is esti-
mated that the six months work of de-
velopment has shown a value of ore in
sight of S10.0O000O.
