Controller Fitch had a little more fun with Police
Commissioner Roosevelt yesterday. The Ponce
Board recently passed resolution requesting the
Sinking Fund Commission TO issue revenue bonds IN
the sum of 81 00 10 make up the deficit for the hsca
year in the contingent account copy OF the reSo-
lution was sent TO the Controller. and his reply
reached the Board yesterday.
In his answer Mr. Fitch says that in the Ordinary
conduct of city business. this communication would
be recognized for the first time upon iis presentation
10 the Sinking Fund Commissioners, bui he adds
that as no date has been set for meeting, ne. 10
avoid delay, replies at once Mr. Fitch then calls
attention 10 the fact that sinking fund business Is
carried on through the Controller. who examines
all such requests hut, he adds Il have searched in
vain for authority in the Consolidation Act for the
course you desire TO be adopted"
The Controller then takes up the various sections
OF the Consolidation Act. and shows that revenue
bonds may Issued under certain circums ances az
follows:
Section 1870 meet the county's quota OF state
taxes
Sec I5i-To borrow IN anticipation OF revenues
when necessary 20 meet expenditures under the APP
propria Ions for each current year.
Sec. l55-For counsel fees etc

Mr. Fitch added that such an application shon.d be

The Insurgents Making Straight
for Havana-Are Only
short Distance From
the Capital

HAVANA, Jan. lowing to the near
approach of the insurgent forces to
Havana aud the disturbances in the
provinces of Pinar Del Rio, martial
law was declared yesterday in the pro-
vince of Havana and in the province
of Pinar Del Rio, Maximo Gomez has
declared his purpose to penetrate into
the province of Pinar Del Rio. AL
though his forces have not reached
the borders Of that province, the ac-
tion of the authorities is understood to
indicate that they have no hopes of
preventing him from carrying out his
threat
1t is not only the organized armed
force of the advancing insurgents that
the authorities find themselves com
PEELED to prepare against In fact,
there Is little apprehension that this
force could effect much success in an
assault upon this city, great as is the
damage that they have wrought in the
country. But the irresistible progress
of the insurgent army whittier II
listeth from one end of the island to
the other has served immensely to in
crease the boldness of their sympa-
thizers, who have hitherto ] emained
passive non-combatants. If these were
to see the occasion for a successful
stroke there is no doubt that great ac-
cessions TO the iusurgent forces would
be gained throughout the provinces of
I Havana and Pinar del Rio and there
are grave fears that an uprising would
occur i'm the city Of Havana itself.
! The insurgents are apparently max
ing "A swift advance directly upon Ha-
vana. The advance guard of their
cavalry, under General La Crete, was,
at latest accounts, at La Paste. which
is only eighteen miles from Gaunaba-
Goa, the latter being suburb Of Ha-
vana, five miles from the city, where
a bathing beach frequented by the
citizens of Havana Is located.
General La Crete with his cavalry
seems to be but a scouting party in
advance Of the lnsurgent wing com
manded by Quintin Bandera-
Nothing definite is known as to the
strength in numbers of Bandera 5
command, but the news Of the near
approach of the insurgents has caused
the utmost anXisty among the author
tiles. and every preparation is being
hastily made to have the city defenses
in readiness to repel an attack or tC
prevent damage being done within
the city, even if the projected move
ment should prove to be nothing but
a dashing cavalry raid. The railroad
station at Nenes, near Bainoa, hal
been burned by the insurgents
SO far as known Gomez is still oper
ating in the region about Guines will

ing has been learned of the movement
of that wing Of the insurgent arm!

Bandera is simply planning a demon
stration against Havana to divert at

wing, while that general complete

Drawn the Day of tho Massacre AhS
Found at Bismarck, n. ID.
A recent dispatch to the Chicago
Record from Bismarck, N. D., gives the
following information: The tragic
death of Cen. Custer and his gallant
men at the hands of the Sioux indians
in the massacre OF the Little Big Horn,
was recalled here this week by the for
wardlng to Mrs. Custer of check for
81 500 drawn to the order of Gen
George A. Custer in 1876. The check
is dated June 25, and signed by B. l..
Smith, at that time assistant paymaster
of the army. 1t was on June 25, 1876,
that the massacre took place. The
check is still unpaid, and soiled and
tattered though it be, constitutes
valid claim against the government for
the amount represented upon its face,
which was no doubt intended as part
payment of Gen Clusters salary as an
officer of the United States army
Where the check has been all these
years no one knows, least of all Michael
Francis. who found it in the street here
last February, and who has retained 1t
