WOULD ONLY TAKE "CLEAN" GOLD.
Present Bank Official Who Was Not Up
In the VernScular.


Once in long while a humorous incl
dent will disturb the dignity and Obstinate
| the somhr. atmosphere that oncircIes that
part OF the federal building devoted to the
subtreasury But these incidents are so
few that the memory of each one is perpet-
uated through long months
During a panic the banks of the city
We're all boarding their gold and disburs-
ing paper. One day tho city treasurer
gave his check on "a bank in the Rookery
building, where part of the city funds
wero deposited, for the salaries of the en-
pioyees OF the city for a month, and re-
quested that they send paper money. The
amount was close to 800, 900, and the
paying teller did not have enough cur
rency. He explained the situation to one
of the Stockholders, who was in the bank
at the time. This gentleman has since
become an officer of the bank but at that
time he was not familiar with all the tech
meal terms used In tho banking business.
However, he said he thought he could ar
range for the kind Of money required and
started for the subtreasury
Ho explained his mission, and the chief
teller replied, Certainly, we will ex-
change currency for gold, but Won must
send us clean gold" That seemed easy
to the stakeholder of the large bank, and
he returned Immediately and instructed
his teller to count out $40, 900 in $50 gold
pieces. This sum he turned over to the
bank messenger and instructed him to
secure the assistance Of two or three clerks,
take the gold to the sink and wash each
piece thoroughly. This proceeding took
considerable time, but when 1t was accom-
plished, the money was put in bags and
sent over to the subtreasury The paying
teller of that institution glanced curiously
at the water soaked bags and inquired of
tho messenger how they had been wet.
Mr.. - told us to wash the money. He
said you wouldn't accept anything but
clean gold, was the reply. The teller
smiled a deep smile, the clerks whispered
softly to each other and smiled and the
messenger smiled. The stakeholder learn
cd what was meant in banking parlance
by clean" gold, but it cost the bank the
value Of the gold that was washed off and

Their motive has been explained to me
by distinguished Cuban as follows: III
a state of war is officially declared, we
shall be able to borrow money on the
strength Of it. We shall be able to outfit
expeditions and to forward large supplies
of ammunition and weapons. But more
important than all is the probability that
Spain would search American ships and
would not be very gentle or circumspect
IN the process. The American people
would not stand that long. predict that
within 80 days after state Of war is de-
clared there will be either war between
Spain and the United States growing out
of complications presented by seizures of
your merchant ships or President Cleve-
land will intervene in behalf of Cuban in
