LONDON, England, August 27.-The
FOREIGN office has received dispatches
from Zanzibar stating that the usurp-
ing Sultan, Said Khalid, having re-
fused to surrender this morning, in
accordance with the terms Uf the Brit
ish consul's ultimatum, the palace at
Zanzibar was bombarded by the war
ships In the harbor. After the bonn
bardment, the palace was captured by
the British sailors and marines, who
had been landed by the war vessels.
Said Khalid was made prisoner and
will be deported to India. The des-
patches DO not mention the loss on
either side. A later despatch says that
Said Khalid and his leading adherents
made their escape and took refuge in
the German consulate. Still later dis
patches say that at noon the palace
and the old custom house was blazing
mass OF ruins. Sharp firing still con-
tinues on the outskirts. Other sailors
and marines are bringing in prisoners
and collecting the dead for burial. Des-
patches from Zanzibar say that the
bombarding of the palace lasted fifty
minutes. The firing was done by the
war-ships "Rsccoon," "Thrush'' and
"Sparrow.
WASHINGTON, D. G., August 27.-
The department of state received the
following cablegram, this morning,
from Dorsey B. Mohun, United States
consul at Zanzibar:
''Khalid Bin Bargash, refusing to
surrender, the palace was bombarded
by the English fleet at 9 o'clock. this
morning, and was totally destroyed.
Many were killed. He took refuge at
the German consulate. Afterwards,
Hamond was proclaimed sultan. All
Americans are safe.''

New York Mining Shares.
NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Increase in Specie and Legal Tender
of over S7,3OO,OOO.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes: Re
serve, increase, 81, 403, 425; loans, decrease,
81, 372 800; specie, increase, So 500; legal
tenders. increase, $4.925. 400; deposits de-
crease, s346 100; circulation increase. $49 700.
The banks now hold $27, 1873, 100 in excess of
the requirements of the % per cent rule.
The New York Financier says this week
The statement of the New York clearing
house banks for the week ending Jan. II is
logical reflection of the present trend of events
! brought about by reason of the call for pop
ular loan, although as an exhibit of the week.
business it is not so satisfactory. The prin-
cipal feature, considering the circumstances
is an increase of 81, 403 426 in the reserve.
In view of the fact that the New York banks
may be drawn upon heavily within the next
thirty days by interior institutions, this in
crease becomes a matter of some Importance
1t is plain to be seen why large bids for the
new bonds have not been reported alreadry
by the New York banks If interior banks
draw upon their balances the average New
York institution will have money to buy
bonds, unless it calls in its loans. and that is
an arrangement that would not be profitable.
For the reason that the banks cannot know
definitely for some time how they will stand
in this respect there is little probability that
individual bids for bonds will be made by
New York bankers before Feb. 4 or ). OF
course, portion of the new bonds will find
their way into banks here, but whether
through syndicate or by direct bid cannot be
foretold."
The Evening Post says: "'The bank state
ment today was one Of the most remarkable
put out in New York city. This is certainly
not surprising in view of the thoroughly alb
normal situation. The most importort fact
disclosed by the returns, however is an in
crease in specie and legal tender holdings
for the week of S7.316 900 The gain goes far
to adjust to known conditions the very def
cient showing of the gains in cash last week
as reflected in Saturdays bank statement.
The increase reported in the two bank state
ments of last Saturday and today is So, 7SS, 300.
1t is very probable that the difference be-
tween these sums or part of it, is attribu
table to legal tenders taken out to withdraw
gold from the treasury. On the whole. to-
days bank statement must be considered
favorable-certainly so when contrasted with
last weeks showing. The stock market, SO
far as it reflected any judgment, did not seem
to look favorably on the statement. At all
events prices held firm on languid trading
until the bank figures appeared. and then de-
clined Immediately for all important stocks
to the opening or lower. This was perhaps
a partial result of the differences drawn from
the heavy loan contraction. London did lit
tie in this market. and that was chiefly
selling; it's operations gave no clue to the
probable course OF prices at the settlement
next week"
