MINNESOTA BANKS.
Failure of the Bank of Minnesota Causes
Widespread Panic.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 23.-This after
noon Judge Otis appointed William H.
Lightner and Frank A. Seymour, cash
ier of the Merchants National bank,
receivers of the Bank of Minnesota. Pub
lie Examiner Kenyon, in his petition to
the court, stated that the assets are
$2S1, 900 in real estate, $45,000 in cash
and 81, $500 in loans and discounts.
Some surprise was expressed over the
last item, as when the banks last
statement, ON October 6, was made,
the loans and discounts were given as
So, 100000. The public examiner has
evidently given these at what he re-
CARDS their actual value. The bank is
Independent to depositors in the sum of
$2,341, 900, and it's liabilities over all as
sets are $4,000. AS the capital stock is
$500, 900, and every stockholder is liable
to twice the amount of his stock, it is
pretty certain that every depositor will
be paid nearly dollar for dollar.
There was short run on two small
state banks this morning, but both
went through the clearing house all
right and declared themselves ready to
meet any demands.
At Ortonville, the bank of Ortonville.
had a. run this morning because of the
fact that William Dawson, jr., cashier
of the Bank of Minnesota, is it's vice
president. The bank has plenty Of
funds and is in no danger of suspen
sion.

NEW LAYoUTS RECOMMENDED.
Board of Public Works Final Meeting
Derby Avenue Widening Postponed

J. w. Pierpont and E. C. Beecher
were before the board of public works
last evening in opposition to the extern
sion of the layout of Harriet street,
from Shepard street to Shelton avenue.
They claimed that the extension was
not a public necessity and would cause
great damage to the property on Shell
ton avenue.
]. w. Scobie, Herbert Barnes and
Lucy A. Bergoff favored the layout of
Butler street, from Spring street to Ro-
settle street
The petition for layout of County
street, from Munson to Henry streets,
was favored by a representative of the
Rathgeber estate, r. E. Blake and Sc
lectman Kelly. All We're in favor of
the layout, but thought that damages
should be assessed.
E. b. Miller, who lives in Meriden,
will give the land to extend Porter
street to the boulevard, between Jud-
son avenue and Oak street, if the city
will make the layout. This will open
up a large tract of land for building
lots.
The board in executive session favor
ed the petitions for Harriet, Butler,
County and Porter streets.
The matter of widening Derby ave-
nue. was postponed until the next meet

Climax in Cuban Affairs.

Havana, Dec 49, via Key West
There is a growing conviction here that
the situation is approaching a climax.
Should the United States adopt the res
olutions recognizing the independence
of Cuba, thousands would at once
throw their efforts and force of arms
in favor of the Cubans.
The indignation of the Spaniards
against Weyler is increasing daily. The
planters are almost ready to take up
arms, because they are not allowed to
grind their sugar-cane They are furi-
Gus, because estates in the Cienfuegos
district belonging to the Crombert
Brothers and John Fowler, American
citizens, are grinding cane in defiance
of Weyler's orders.
1t is believed that orders have been
given to the Spanish troops to burn
the fields of the Americans, kill their
cattle and imprison the laborers.
1t is known here that the filibustering
steamer Three Friends has landed an
expedition near Jaruco, on the northern
coast of Havana province. 1t is re-
ported that Ralph D. Payne, a news
paper correspondent, who was on the
Three Friends, has been captured by
the Spaniards.
There are many rumors of severe en-
counters between the Cubans and the
Spaniards, but nothing is allowed to
be printed, which indicates that the
Cubans are winning. 1t is said that
the Cubans have completely defeated
General MelguiZo in the province of
Havana.
General Weyler has for the first time
allowed an American newspaper corre-
spondent to accompany the Spanish
troops to the field.

TOSURROUrND THE PATRIOTS
GENER4L WEYLER'S NEW PLAN TO
CRUSH THE CUBAN REBELLION.

Ten Columns of Government Troops to
Enter the Pinar del Rio District-Plan
to Make the Rebels Fight or Make Them
Cross the Trocha-If Successful, Reforms
win be Instituted In the island.
London, Dec. 24.-The Standard pub
fishes Madrid dispatch giving the
outlines of the plan of campaign
against the Insurgents in Cuba which
has been concerted by Captain General
Weyler and the Spanish government.
The Spanish advance into the province
of Pinar del Rio will be followed, ac-
cording to the program decided upon,
by vigorous combined movement of
ten columns of government troops,
compelling the insurgents either to
surrender and lay down their arms or
province. When this plan shall have
been carried out in Pinar del Rio SINH
lar tactics will be pursued in the
Havana and Matanzas provinces. If
these plans are successfully carried out
before March next the government will
inaugurate reforms in Porto Rico,
which will be followed slowly by re-
forms in Cuba, and the Cortes will be
convoked to sanction extensive conces-
sions in the administration of the af-
fairs of the island.

BRYAN,S LECTURE TOUR.
He Makes His Opening Address Last Night
in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 23,-Hon. William
j. Bryan opened his lecture tour here
tonight at the Grand Opera house be-
fore u large audience, All day he held
an almost continuous reception. Gov
ernor Atkinson took him to the eXecu-
tive mansion in the morning as his
guest. AT noon the Young Mems DEM
ocratic league rendered him a luncheon
ana tonight the Fulton club entertain
ed him. Among the speakers at the
luncheon was eXSecretary Hoke
Smith.
MI Bryan was introduced tonight
by Hal I. Lewis, the Georgian, who
nominated him at Chicago,
Mr.. Bryan's reception was enthusas-
tic, the audience cheering loudly and
long. His subject was THE Ancient
Landmarks" The address was dis
cussion of governmental questions
Government, said he, is what the peo-
pie make it--good or bad, They can
remedy abuses if they seriously under
take to do so.
Mr.. Bryan touched on the leading is
sues of the recent campaign, but in q
non-partisan way. The aim, said he,
of advocates of different money sys-
TENS was to secure that one which
was best for the greatest number of
citizens. In the end the people of this
country and eventually the people of
the world would select that system
under which the unit of value was
most stable.
Governments, Mr. Bryan declared,
should not only avoid abuses, but should
protect the weaker against the strong,
Trusts were denounced as means
of doing an injury to ones fellow citi-
zens.
Mr. Bryan remarked that he did not
think any party openly defended trusts.
They We're permitted to exist because
the people were indifferent The use
by political parties, Mr.. Bryan assert
ed, was the most pernicious influence
in politics. He declared unjust taxa
ton to be larceny. 1t was taking money
from one mans pocket and putting it
into the pocket of another man, The
chief reason for discomfort in this coun-
try, he said. was favoritism in one form
or another under the government.
Mr.. Bryan found good results in the
recent campaign. He said that it set
the people thinking He thought that
hereafter public officials would be more
closely watched In concluding, the
lecturer remarked, I'VE are laying the
foundations now for those who come
after us. A part of the foundation work
was gotten under way in the recent
campaign. The superstructure will be
built later"

Trial of Julio Sanguily.

Havana, Dec 23.-The re-trial of
Julio Sanguily, the American citizen,
charged with having conspired against
the Spanish authority was continued
to-day. Counsel for the defence con-
tinued his address. begun yesterday his
remarks occupying nearly two hours.
He spoke in the same clear, incisive
style, which he began his address, ad-
vancing argument after argument to
prove the innocence of Sanguily, whose
release from custody he requested on
the ground that the evidence brought
out had not shown that the prisoner
was guilty of the crime with which he
was charged.
At the conclusion of the argument for
the defence the tribunal adjourned
without announcing it's decision Judg-
ment in the case will however, be rem
dered at an early day, in accordance
with the law.
The Havana newspapers publish artl-
cles expressing approval of the attitude
upon the Cuban question taken by
President Cleveland and Secretary OF
State Olney, both of whom are highly
praised for their firm stand in the face
of the action of the foreign relations
committee of the senate.
General Hernandez Velasco and Col.
San Martin are still carrying on opera
tfons against the insurgents in and
around the hills near San Cristobal
and several minor engagements have
occurred, resulting in the capture by
the government troops of ten prisoners.
Several rebel camps have been destroy
ed and a number of huts burned and
the cattle provisions of the insurgents
have been captured. The officers report
that their operations have about clear
ed the zone of rebels and destroyed
their resources.

Washington Dec. 23.-EIX- Queen Lili-
oukalani, of the Hawaiian Islands, left
New Orleans this morning and is eX-
pected to reach Washington tomorrow
at 10 o'clock She will make no stop
here, it is said, except the few minutes
required to change her car to the Penn
sylvania road, as she desires to reach
Boston in time to spend Christmas with
the relatives of her husband, the late
Mr.. Dominis. While en- route from San
Francisco the queen received a tele-
gram from Princess Kaiulani, now in
London, stating that she was i'll and
could not come to Boston. This may
take Lilioukalani to England.
The ex-queen repudiated an inter-
view which a reporter professed to have
had with her at Houston, Texas. She
also said:
Il cannot talk about my country or
it's future for fear that what | might
say will be distorted. l have lived
since the revolution in absolute retire
ment and have taken little heed of pub
lie matters. What my future move
ments may be is something that I can
not now declare, for l do not know. 7

going to Boston to meet the relatives
of my late husband and do not know
whether I shall so to Europe or not.
