MERCHANTS BANK OF ATLANTA
MAY HAVE TO LIQUIDATE.

The Capital City Bank Refuses to
Walt Eighteen Months for Part OF
the 5000 Owed IL by the Merch-
ants Bank-The Capital City Feels
Secured by Its Attachment on the
New York Funds of the Defuncf
Bank.
ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 27.-The propositions
made by the defunct Merchants Bank to
settle with depositors on the instalment
plan has struck a snag. The bank pro-
posed to begin the payment OF depositors
about the middle of next month, and there's
after TO continue the installments until
the full amounts were paid. with Interest,"
from the date Of the failure OF the bank
After eighteen months the depositora
would receive their full share Of the as
sets.
In order to make 1t possible to Offer
this proposition to the creditors, President
Porter and other officers Of the banls
agreed to put up $4,000 or $4,000 in ad-
dltlonal assets The reason that so long
time was asked by the bank In which,
to make the payments was that much oo
the assets Of the defunct bank are iu
real estate and real estate securities, and
1t takes a good deal of time to realize
upon this class OF collaterals.
1t was expected that the creditors would
accept this proposition. The rumors aAoat
since the failure of the bank have not been
reassuring to the depositors and when tha
proposition came under which they wers
offered dollar for dollar II they would only
wait little while for it the impression was
that the offer would meet with general and
prompt acceptance. Some Of the creditors
have agreed to the proposition, but others
have failed to do so. To-day the Capital
City Bank, to which the Merchants Banle
owed 5000 when it failed, announced that
1t would not accept the compromise The
directors of the bank had considered the
matter fully, and inasmuch as the Capital
City Bank has an attachment on some S14,~
900 Of Merchants Bank funds In New York;
1t was determined not TO agree to the in~
stallment plan, but to fight the matter ouE
In the courts. The bank made Il a condi-
tion precedent to the compromise plan
that all suits should be Withdrawn by the
creditors. AS the action OF the Capital City
bank precludes this, it is now doubtful il
the plan is accepted, although the receiv-
ers OF the bank and the officials announced
to-day that they were still working upon
the matter and hoped yet to succeed.

the crowd rose as one individual and Yell
ed itself hoarse.
Mr. Cochran criticised the Indifference
of the administration to the Cuban situa-
tion. He said this was crisis where
earnest words should be spoken. While
he might not speak in language OF diplo-
macy, he would, he said, speak the truth.
1t was not the sole purpose of the meet
ing to weep for the dead, but to counsel
for the living; to determine whether or
not any obligations were imposed upon the
United States government. He reviewed
the story Of the Cuban students, A gov
ernment, he said, that seeks not to pre-
vent, but to perpetuate such murders Is
a blot on creationi and anarchy is found
seated in the governmental chair. The
government that incites to murder will be
scared in the blaze of indignant public
opinion.
He would not, he continued, critcse
the government of Spain in Spain, but In
Cuba
Cuba hopes for American sympathy and
she Is thus encouraged TO take up arms
for her emancipation.
IF we are to prevent those butcheries," )"
he said, 'let us declare our intention and
let our position be known" He hoped the
government would Interfere, not with a
view to annexation, but for liberation
alone. Then when Cuba shall have tasted
the bitter and the sweet OF independence
she can meet us on an even footing and
treat of annexation" At this point the
applause was terrific. Men and women
stood in their places and shouted, wav-
ing hats and handkerchiefs for more than
a minute.
Continuing he said he would not ag-
grandize our territorial possessions, but
would recommend action in the name of
justice; and for Gods sake, act now.
I'VE see Spain has paid an indemnity
granted In the interest of peace" he de-
clared. Il know this is not diplomacy, but
diplomacy in the old countries is a system
of spoilation and plunder. We have an OPP
portunity to prove what can be done In a
spirit of peace and unselfshness."
Hon. Charles A. Dana of the Sun was
greeted with loud applause. He said he
could add nothing to what had been so
ably said by Mr.. Cochran. The United
States had one hope for Cuba: Viva Cuba
Libre." He also spoke in Spanish and
aroused the audience to pitch of intense
enthusiasm.
Enrique J. Varona and DR.. Enrique Bar
rett followed in Spanish, and the meeting
closed at midnight

Round 1S-Erne sent a hot left to the
jaw and repeated moment later. As
George came In with right on the body
Erne planted a left on the chin. Georges

straight TO the face. Then he put his
right and left on the body and jaw. Dixon
again resorted to rushing tactics and his
body blows were severe.
Round 19-Fast work marked the opening,
Dixon rushed In and planted his right on
the body. Ernes left found the neck
and body twice. George came into hard
left on the chin, They spared for wind
and Erne rushed In with three good
punches on the ribs. Dixon made fu-
rious rush as the bell rang.
Round 20-They lost no time in getting
down to business. Erne sent In ribroast-
er. George responded with rush from the
right on the body, Frank countering with
the left on the chin. Erne swung right and
left on the head and George clinched, Lett
ting go a right on the wind. They mixed
things up In great shape until the gong
sounded, when they shook hands warmly.
There were loud shouts for Erne at the
close the Buffalo delegation leading the
applause. After quiet had been restored,
the referee announced his decision in ia
vor of the Buffalo boy. Erne Immediately
rushed across the ring to where some OF
his friends from the Bison City were sit
ting and kissed one of them. The whole
contingent nearly went wild with Joy and
pandemonum reigned for some minutes.
