LONDON BANKERS PROTEST.
Threaten Crisis Should the Bank
of England Hold hny of Its
Reserve in Silver.

LONDON, ENGLAND, Sept. "a meet
ing of the bankers of London. called
to protest against the action of the COVER
nor OF the Bank OF England, Hugh c.
Smith. who, at the semi-annual meeting
of that institution on Thursday last, read
letter dated July 80, addressed to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, in which the governor an
nounced that the bank was prepared 10
carry out what is laid down as permissible
in Its charter, namely, TO hold one-fifth OF
the bullion held against its note issue in
silver, provided always that the French
mint is again open to the free coinage OF
silver and the price at which silver is pro-
durable and salabie is satlsfactory-was
held at the Clearing house to-day.
There was q large attendance of repre-
sentatives of powerful interests. Several
of the prominent banks were not repre-
sented, but according to the statements OF
those who participated in the meeting,
their absence was due TO the fact that The
heads of the banks were not in London.
resolution protesting against the Bank
of England's proposed action was adopted.
This resolution will be EN- bodie in letter
to the governor of the bank, which will be
presented to him tomorrow.
The bankers who We're present at to-
days meeting were pledged to secrecy in
regard TO the proceedings. Robert Benson,
who threatened at the recent meeting of
the Bank of England to sell his bank
stock if silver reserves were held, took a
prominent part in the meeting to-day.
The protest upon the par. OF the London
bankers is precedented, and is the only
thing talked about at present in financial

Spain to Be Given One
More Chance by This
Government.
Text of the Announcement
Made by Woodford to
Tetuan.
America VIII Interfere If Spain Does
Not Succeed in Reason
able Tina.

MADRID. SPAIN, Sept. 22.-The corre-
spondent here of the Associated Press
learns, upon high authority, that the
much discussed interview of Saturday last
between the United States Minister to
Spain, General Stewart L. WoodfoId, and
the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs,
the DuEe of Tetuan, were merely pre-
imlnary.
General Woodford reported to the
Duke the gravity of the condition of Cuba,
and requested, in behalf of the United
States, that Spain would find method
of speedily ending the war and giving JUS
tice to the Cubans. He offered the good
. offices of The United States in effecting a
settlement of the Cuban troubles, which
practically gives Spain an opportunity OF
gracefully ending the war.
II she does not EN- brace it within q rea-
sonable time notice will be given that the
United States must interfere though Cen
eral Woodford has not SAID SO. yet.
Spain cannot expect the aid of Euro
pean powers, as the United States En-
bassadors have ascertained that all the
European countries except Austria recog-
nize that the interests of the United States
>
Austria in this matter is influenced by
the relationship between the Two dynas-
ties, the Queen Regent of Spain being an
Austrian Archduchess, but ii is not likely
that Austria will take any part in the
question beyond possibly making diplo-
matte protest against the Intervention of
the United States.
The Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in the course OF
an interview to-day with the correspond
ent of the Associated Press, denies that the
Government has received an ultimatum
from the United States with regard to
Cuba, and said he had received a cable
gram from Senor de LONE. the Spanish
Minister to the United States. TO the
same effect, and also denying the exist
ence OF an ultlm alum.
The Cores spondencia de Espania asserts
that pour parlers are proceeding be-
tween the United States and Spain for a
friendly settlement of affairs in Cuba.
Ell Epoca, after denouncing as ''sensa-
tionaf the story of an ultima tum, points
out that the Cubans have not been at war
with Spain without the moral and mate
rial cooperation OF the American people.
There is great deal of com mment as to
the origin of the ultimatum cenard. 1t
has been attributed TO a foreign Embassa-
dor, but ali the ambassadors deny the
responsibility.
The people do not think that war is in
eviiabie. 1t is also asserted that the Lib
erals will soon form Cabinet and that on
the return of the Queen from San Sebas-
tian to Madrid Captain General Weyler
will be recalled and autonomy esta blished
in Cuba, thus leaving no pre- ext for the
intervention of the United States.
Contrary TO expectations confidently
entertained to-day, Senior Reverter, Min
lister of Finance, has not resigned his
nortfoliO.

Bus,dsne a Ne,O Face for Her.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. pa wonderful
surgical operation has been performed by
Drs. Parsons and McCaughan Of the
Children's Hospital upon nine-year-old
Lille Statenius. They constructed for
her palate and nose and an upper lip.
She is an orphan and was sent to the
hospital from the Episcopal Orphanage.
Her face was deformcd and was frlghtful
10 look upon. The surgeons saw but one
way 10 remedy it. and that was by an
operation, which was done. The palate
was gone, and her nose had grown over
and attached itself TO her hairlip. The
case was singular one, and called for the
most delicate of surgical work. The opera
ton was success.ui, even beyond the an

crowd around him he started to play the
game upon little table that he allowed

put the money in his pocket.

Smith got them interested in his game and
in twenty minutes he had about 5000 of
