ttOnal bank, with embezzlement, mis-
appropriation Of funds and with in

Is also charged to President johnson

will run up to $2O1,OOO. He is alleged
to have elnbezzled 100000 Of bank
funds. $51,5OO Of which was concealed
In the certificate Of deposit and $40
600 In the Individual ledger. The ar
rest will take place Immediately. Ev-

been cut of by deputy United States

President johnson is charged with
forging the names Of prominent bust
ness men to a total of thirty notes, rep
resenting $2O1,OOO. The money was Sc
cretly borrowed from the funds Of the
bank, not one Of the depOsitors know
ing Of the account. The day was
busily spent in unearthing more of
the numerous shortages, and every
hour hope grew less in the hearts Of
the depositors and stockholders. Prop
erty is being decided to the stockhoid-
ers by johnson and every effort being
made to save himself. President
Johnson has protected one Of his pri-
vate creditors in the person of one

The Premier Says No Meddling in
Cuban Affairs Would Be Tolerated..
Madrid, May 23.--Senor Morley
Prendergast, q former minister, asked
the government on behalf of the lib
erals in the chamber Of deputies to
submit all the papers relating to the
rebellion in Cuba and to the diploma
tic relations Of Spain with the powers
Senior Canovas, the premier, reply
ing. said the government could only
attach credit to such information as
was sent by Capt. Gen. Weyler., He
severely blamed the American news
papers for disseminating false news,
and cited as case in point recent
statements attributed to Consul Gen.
Lee.
The premier said: "Spains relations
with other powers continue cordial,
and the advice which the Americans
are offering to us as to Cuba cannot be
followed, because Spain will never &C.
cept any Intervention in q matter
which peculiarly concerns herself
The documents which have. been asked
for would only refer to this advice.
The government has accepted full re-
sponsibility for anything which has
been done by Capt. Gen. Weyler."
Senior Morety Prendergast asked if
it were true that the United States
senate had recognized tn belligency Of
the Cuban insurgents.
The premier replied that the report
to this effect was not surprise to
him as it was question of creating
more difficulties for President Nc
Kinlev in connection with the tariff
bill, but he believed President Nc
Kinley, like Mr.. Cleveland, would de-
eide for himself In such matter.
