CUBA AND ARMENIA.
The Two Subjects Before the senate's
Committee ON Foreign Affairs.


Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Washington, Jan. S.-The Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations held its first
meeting this morning since the reorgani-
zation or the Senate. There was no at
tempt made to consider the important
business before the committee. The docket
is unusually large, owing to the compii-
cations now existing between this govern
ment and foreign powers.
The business was divided between varl-
Gus sub7fommittees, and after an infor-
NAL talk ranging over the entire list OF
subjects before the committee adjourn
ment was taken until Saturday when a
special meeting will be held.
Chief among the matters referred to this
committee are affairs relating to the Gu
ban revolution and Armenia. Members
of the committee say the latter is one
that will cause this government no end
of trouble. The papers before the COM
mittee indicate that half has not been
told, and how to effectually interfere with
out violating our national policy Of evad-
ing entangling alliances with foreign pow
ers is problem that the skill of the
committe and diplomacy Of the state de-
partment alone can solve. Some senator's
are in favor of sending an urgent appeal
to Russia to take charge of the case ana
look after the interests of Americans in
Armenia.
The recognition Of the belligerent rights
of the Cubans is also pressing upon the
committee and this will be the first thing
taken up at the meeting Saturday. There
is no division of sentiment among the
members on this subject.
Should the insurgents secure Havana
or make a vital attack on the Spanish
troops that would give them a stronger
foothold on the island, the Senate VIII
1t is believed, at once pass a resolution
recognizing the beligerency of the Gu
bans. Informal discussion by the mem
bers of the committee has shown the
practical unanimity with which they look
upon that question. The only element Of
doubt in the whole case is when is the
proper time to grant the rights prayed
for by the Cubans. The meeting of Sat
urday may result in important action on
this subject.

the apparent gross conspiracy against the
South African republic.
The lectures 10 Emperor William are
generally repeated. The marked cessation
of the hostility of the press of Germany
towards England is ascribed to the Brit

which are highly commended on all sides.

BURGLARS RAID A BANK.
They Secure From $4,000 to $4,000
and Make Their Escape.

and Make Their Escape.
Fayette, o., Jan. S.-One of the boldest,
as well as one of the most successful
robberies that has ever occurred in Full
ton county, took place here some time
last night, when the Bank of Fayette, a
private financial institution, of which f.
L. Barber, president of the Ketchham
National Bank of Toledo, is a stockholder,
and Charles l.. Allen, cashier, was enter
ed and every cent of the cash in the safe
and the valuable papers were stolen.
The robbery was not discovered till the
time came for the bank to open this morn
ing. BY that hour, of course there was
no clue whatever to the. thieves, who left
not single trace OF their identity.
The value of the money and paper taken
is not definitely known, the officials of the
bank observing the greatest reticence. 1t
is believed, however, that at least $500
and probably as high as $4,000, was OBJ
tanned.
The robbers, of whom it is thought
there were at least two, pried open win
dow and easily gained entrance to the
bank. Then they blew off the safe door
with some powerful explosive. The rest

PLENTY OF GOLD IN GOTHAM.
Country Banks ship 1t in, But Keep
String on 1t.

New York. Jan. SIT is learned from
a number Of prominent banks in this
city that they have been requested often
in the past few days to open gold ac-
counts. These requests have come from
customers, including some banks in the
interior. The banks, however, have inva-
riably responded in the negative to such
requests, citing the fact they would not
be justified by the clearing house agrees
ment in opening gold accounts. The re-
suit has been that banks with large vault
room have received a good deal of gold
in the last few days which they are now
merely holding as safe deposit agents for
the account of country banks. Some of
this gold has come from points far west
of Chicago and leading bankers say that
IL the amount so held could be announced
it would be a genuine surprise to the
street. Most of this is gold that has not
been in the treasury vaults for many
months. The Fourth National Bank OF
this city has deposited $4,000 gold at the
sub-tfeasury for purposes of examina-
ton, taking a receipt not greenbacks.
