would agree to remain in the country and
care for them. They also asked for the re-
moval Of prominent government official

terly. Cecil Rhodes replied telling them
that the official referred to had already
left the government service He then
asked the chiefs whether they were for
peace or for war. Secumbo, the leading
chief, laid his gun and assegai before
Rhodes and signified that they were In
favor of peace.

Cecil Rhodes promises TO spare their
lives. but said that the surrender must be

were brothers of Lubegula, the Matabele
king, who was said to have been killed at

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The World this
morning publishes the following special
correspondence dated near Havana, Cuba,
Aug. 10: Couriers have just arrived with
news of crisis in the provisional govern
ment Of the republic of Cuba There had
been much friction between several Off
GERS. The climax came July %, when the
headquarters quartermaster spoke rather
plainly TO the president Colonel Mana
daily. acting secretary Of war, resented
this and drew his revolver, supposedly to
avenge the insult TO his chief. The quar-
termaster also had supporters, and for an
instant bloodshed seemed inevitable.
But the venerable president, aided by
cooler heads present, quickly restored a
semblance of peace. The old gentleman s
feelings. however, were deeply wounded
and he Immediately announced his resig-
nation. All that night the provisional
government was in great danger of igno-
minious dissolution, but tho next morn
ing all complaints were heard, differences
were adjusted and President Cisneros
withdrew his resignation. Trouble is
over for the present at least, and the
wheels of govern ment are running smootly.

THAT KANSAS CITY BANK ROBBERY
Strong Suspicion That the Cashier Did the
Trick Himself.

Trick Himself.
KANSAS CITY, Kas., Aug. 24.-In short
time after the American National bank
here was robbed so skillfully Friday de-
tectives were in the building making a
careful survey of the premises. When the
robbery was committed Mr.. Stiller sat in
his office just opposite the bank talking to
a Mrs Jackson, of ST. Joseph, Mo- Stiller,
from where he sat, could see into the Office
of the bank. He says he believes he saw
a man jump over the desk in the bank,
but was busy talking and paid no further
attention TO him. He often saw men
jump over the desk and he did not notice
the man leave the office of the bank.
In the minds of the local police there is
n strong suspicion against the young
cashier, Edwin Il. Boswell, and for sew
eral hours the cashier was in custody at
police headquarters, where he was sub
jected 20 "a severe "sweatin@." He would
admit nothing, however, and later he was
allowed To return TO his lodgings, though
he is still under surveillance and has
promised TO report 10 the chief Of police.
