NEVER TOOK A VACATION.
Meantime Cashier Barnard Was Regularly
Robblng the Bank.


ROME, n. Y, Feb. 5.-The examination
of the Fort Stanwix National bank shows
1t to be rotten TO the core. 1t Is now stated
on good authority that the bank is in
volved to the extent of nearly, if not quite,
100000. This amount includes a S75, 900
defalcution by Cashier Barnard, who re-
Gently committed suicide. This amount
will swamp the bank and throw it into
the hands of receiver.
Barnard had not taken vacation for
the past thirty years, and the reason for
this is found in the belief that he did not
desire any one but himself to handle his
accounts. So far as the habits of the man
are concerned during the many years he
resided in this city it has always been
thought that he indulged in no extrava-
gances and no speculations, and it is a
matter of wonder what he has done with
the money.
1t is stated that the capital stock of $780,
600, the surplus of $30,OOO and the undi-
vided profits of $4,000 will be practically
wiped out before the investigation is fin
ished, and also that an assessment will be
levied to pay the depositors dollar for
dollar.
One of the directors of the bank declared
today that he would not be surprised if
the shortage amounted to $500, 900, and as
serted that Barnard's personal shortage
might reach 100000
Barnard's high social position has given
increased interest in the affairs of the
bank, He was an ex mayor of the city,
and for years had been vestryman OF
Zion Episcopal church.

LETTER FROM GENERAL MACEo.
Gomez's Trusted Lieutenant Writes Hope
fully of Cuba's Cause.


WAsUINeToN. Feb. b.-The Star prints
letter sent to the editor by General An
tonic Maceo, through its correspondent,
who is with the Cuban revolutionary army
in Pinar del Rio province General Maceo
denies published reports that his aid,
Colonel Bermudez had been killed, and
then characterizes as ridiculous the re-
ports of rupture between himself and
General Gomez. He says:
"There can be no such thing as a mis-
understanding between General Gomez
and myself. He Is the commander-in-
chief, and as such his orders are as laws
30 me ! am but lieutenant general of the
army, and at all times l am subject to his
commands.
aside from rules of military discipline,
there is not soldier in the Cuban army
who would consider for an instant the dis
putting of the words or commands OF Max
imo Gomez. The entire army confldes
implicitly in his patriotism and his mill
tary ability"
The Spaniards he writes, are humbug-
ging themselves with theories to account
for the fact that he and Gomez have sepa-
rated, and after declining to discuss the
reasons for the well matured moves of the
Cuban army he continues
''What have we accomplished by our in
vasion of the province? A great deal In
the first place we drew the attention of
the authorities to this end of the island,
and 5000 reinforcements under Nunez,
! Sanchez and my brother, Jose Maceo, were
| enabled to march from the eastern end OF
! the island to the province of Havana
without having a serious engagement.
"Our second advantage has been the
calling of the entire Spanish fleet of cruis-
ers, gunboats and coasters to look after
the north and south shores of the western
end of the island TO prevent the landing
of expeditions. While the fleet was keep
ing good watch between Cuba, Florida
and Mexico several good expeditions landed
from jamaica and Santo Domingo, and
by this time the stores they brought are
safely in the hands of our friends in the
Sierra Maestro mountains.
General Maceo says there is no use de
nying that the insurgents have not arms
for all the men anxious to join the army,
but adds that great improvement has
taken place in this respect during the last
two months, and closes his letter as
follows:
81 will not venture, as you ask me, to
say how long the war will last 1t may be
conflict of months or even of years;
there is no telling. But this much is GER
tain, that the red and yellow flag Of Spain
will never wave again in triumph over an
enslaved Cuba"
