TREACHERY CHARGED.
CUBANS SAY THE "HAWKINSv
WAS SCUTTLED.
The Disaster Spreads Gloom Over the
Cuban Leaders-Sman Engage
ments in Cuba.

New York, Jan. 29.-Gloom pervaded
the headquarters of the Cuban revolu-
lutionary party today. The leaders,
who would not admit last night that
any filibustering expedition had met
with disaster, freely admitted that the
reported wrecking of the steamer
Hawkins was correct.
Thomas E. Palmer, the acknowledged
head of the Cuban revolutionary party,
said about 100000 had been expended
in fitting out the steamer -. w. Haw-
kins," including arms and ammunition.
One Cuban made the startling an
nouncement it was evident there had
been treachery. Said he: 1--WE hired
an expert to examine the steamer be-
fore we purchased her. This expert
reported the steamer seaworthy. Now,
either the expert did not do his duty
properly and the steamer was not fit
to go to sea, or else q traitor on board
deliberately scuttled the ship. The lat
ter would seem to be the case. Neither
Gen. Garcia, who was in command of
the expedition, nor his son, the second
in command, nor any others at the
mead of the movement, mad any idea
whatever that the steamer was leaking
until IL was too late to save her A
searching investigation is being made,
and If there was any plot to scuttle
the ship. we viii unearth it.

Race and Religion"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Turkish
legation gives out the following Off
cial communica ton:
The imperial government will not
permit any distribution among his
subjects, in his own territory, by any
foreign society or individuals, how
ever respectable the same may be las,
for instance, the Red Cross Society,
of money collected abroad.
''Such interference no independent
government has ever allowed, especial.
ly when the collections are made on
the strength of speeches delivered in
public meetings by irreconcilable enc
mics of the Turkish race and religion,
and on the basis of false accusations
that Turkey repudiates.
Besides, the sublime porte is mind
full of the true interests of its subjects
and, distinguishing between the real
state of things and the calumnles and
wild exaggerations of interested or
fanatical parties, will, as it has done
heretofore, under its own legitimate
control, alleviate the wants of all
Turkish subjects, living in certain
provinces, irrespective of creed or

A BANK OF AMERICA.
PROJECT FOR AN INTERNA-
TIONAL AMERICAN BANK.
Would Make America Partially indie
pendent of the Bank of England
An Idea of the Late James G.
Blaine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on banking and currency
yesterday considered the project for
an international American bank,
which was one of the recommends
tions of the Pan.American congress,
and was largely the idea of the late
James G. Blaine. Among the would
be incorporators are Cornelius Bliss
and Charles r. Flint of New York;
I. jefferson Coolidge, Andrew Carne-
gle, j. S Clarkson, p. d. Armour and
NJ M. Estee, of California. The bill
puts the capital stock at $1,000, 900 and
authorizes the bank to act as the finan-
cial agent of any government, state or
municipality or corporation; to handle
bonds, etc, but bars it from issuing
notes to circulate as money in the
United States.
Comptroller Eckels addressed the
committee, stating that he favored
the establishment of such a bank,
under proper restrictions. 1t would
give to the United States, he said,
cheaper exchange with South AmeriA
can republics, and enable them to
compete successfully with European
merchants and manufacturers. All
South American exchange is now
handled through London and other
European centers and a small saving
in exchange often determined who
should do the business of country.
The international bank, he thought
should not be permitted to issue circu-
lation in the United States, and it
should be under restrictions, that it
would not be given an advantage over
other banks under government con-
troll, in case it should decide to do all
its business in the United States.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Jan. !4.-The sixth
annual convention of the State Dairy

bia yesterday, in connection with the
meeting of the state board of agricul-
ture. This is the first meeting since
the anto.oleo law was enacted, and is
of special interest to butter makers
John Patterson, of Kirksville, is presi-
dent, and Levi Chubbuck, of Kidder,
secretary.
The anti-oleo law and abe results of
its enforcement throughout the state
was discussed by ]. r. Rippey, secre-
tary of the board of agriculture; w. N
Tivy, of st. Louis; Il. w. Brady. of
Kansus City, and D. w. May, of Column
bia. 1t appears that the number of
dealers in oleo have been reduced from
400 to 20, and the price of butter in
creased. The added revenue to the
butter makers has amounted to nearly
100000 by reason of the new law, and
while it is not yet enforced as well as
may be possible in the future, still it
has done much good
