Western Capitalists Behind q Big Move
ment in barton County, Kan.
GREAT BEND, Kan, Dec. Psf. B.
Koen, who represents company of
Western capitalists, has completed the
preliminary survey of the irrigation
ditch to connect the Arkansas river
with the Cheyenne bottoms and has
found no serious obstacles. A meeting
of farmers and citizens of this place
was held Wednesday and Koen, for
the company, said that if he could get
the right-of-way free he would put 200
teams to work on the ditch at once
and that by April next he would have
it completed, thus securing the water
OF the spring freshets.
A committee of prominent citizens
and farmers was appointed to secure
right of way for that ditch. So far as
heard from the farmers have expressed
their willingness to give the right of
way and it is thought the committee
will win over the undecided ones.
When thij ditch is finished it will run
into an artificial lake with an area of
"a, 500 acres. The practical irrigators
all unite in saying that this will greatly
benefit this section.

REPORTS OF SPANISH AID
IN CUBA FALSE.
DENIED AT WASHINGTON.
Congressman and Senator-Elect Money
of Mississippi to Visit Cuba and
Make Personal Investigation
and Interview General wey-
ler-Captain Generals
Latest Interview.

WASHINGTON, Dec. est is denied
officially and authoritatively that any
European government either directly
or indirectly has made any representa-
tlons whatever to the United States to
restrain or prevent its free action in
connection with the Cuban insurrec-
ton. A similar report was denied by
authority several weeks ago A. Won
Bruening, secretary of the German EN-
bassy, said that SO far as the embassy
here was concerned no such intimatior
had been received. He discredited the
whole story. 1--WE have not heard a
word concerning Cuba" said he, ''for
three months"
Senator-elect Money of Mississippi,
now a member of the House foreign
affairs committee, proposes to leave
Tampa, Fla, next Saturday morning
for Havana, to remain week or ten
days in Cuba. He will seek an audi
ence with Captain General Weyler and
will ask him to provide an escort and
flag of truce, SO that he can go into
the heart of the territory occupied by
the insurgents, with view of finding
out what is going on. Mr.. Money says
he is determined to make as lengthy a
journey into the interior of Cuba as
his time will permit, and it is under
stood that he will endeavor to COM
municate with the insurgents whether
Captain General Weyler grants him
permission or not. He realizes that it
will be risky thing for him to proceed
on his own account if a permit is refused
him. However, he is so anxious to
have trustworthy information that he
will take the chances. even if he finds
himself later locked up in prison. 1t
is his intention to state frankly to the
captain general that he visits the
island because it is impossible to
procure from President Cleveland or
Secretary Olney any official informa-
ton regarding the condition of affairs
in Cuba, and, as a member of Congress
and of the House committee on foreign
affairs, he wishes to know what he is
doing before he casts his vote for or
against any one of the several resolu-
tions pending.
Mr.. Money was an officer in the Con-
federate army during the war under
General Forrest, and his four years
service in the field whetted his interest
in military operations. He thinks
that his visit will at least enable him
to learn more than he could by depend
ing on the State department for in
formation.

ILLINOIS NATIONAL OFF,
GERS PENITENT.
SEECOMPTRoLLER ECKELs.
Business Conditions and Election Ex-
element Given as the Reasons Why
Mr.. Eckle's Orders Were Not
Compiled With - No Rec
ommendation. Di-
rectors Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-When a COM
mittee of directors of the collapsed
National Bank of Illinois called on
Comptroller Eckles to-day for a per-
sonal conference regarding the banks
affairs, the doors were locked and
strict secrecy observed.
The directors stated to Mr.. Eckels
that they desired to make statement
In regard to their connection with the
Sffairs OF the bank and to explain their
relation to it's management, since the
LITTER written to them in 1895.
Mr.. Eckels said that he felt confident
that the management of the bank had
been very negligent. and the directors
explained that since the receipt of Mr..
Eckels' letter they had repeatedly tried
to close negotiations for the sale of
the Calumet Electric railway, but the
business conditions of the country, the
long political campaign and the trouble
with the Diamond Match company had
caused a failure of these negotiations
thus far. They expressed a desire to
do everything in their power to aid the
receiver in realizing the utmost from
the assets of the bank
Mr.. Eckels impressed upon the di-
rectors that he would expect them to
make every possible effort to realize
from the Calumet road and at the best
figure possible.
The delegation informed the comp
troller that they had no one to recon-
mend for receiver, and no protest to
make against the appointment of any
one, and were perfectly willing to CO.
operate with anyone Mr.. Eckels might
see fit to appoint.
The delegation said the directors
were very hopeful that the affairs of
the bank would be completely settled
within the next twelve months and
that every obligation would be met,
and that the assets probably would be
sufficient to leave the real estate clear.
This afternoon Mr.. Adams of the
committee gave out the following:
1--WE had very pleasant interview
with the comptroller. Our purpose
was to show what we had tried to do
to improve the condition of the bank
since the receipt of the comptroller's
letter a year ago. Our talk was main
ly about the Calumet Electric. We
feel that the comptroller will do all he
can to realize all that can possibly be
realized out of the assets. ~
