stroyed one of the new bridges recently
purchased by the county at a cost OF
$4,000. All mail communication with

many farms almost wrecked and their
owners ruined. Here the Mississippi

NEW COMPLICATIONS.
Illinois Bank Managers Get Away with
Important Papers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-New and start
ling complications are forthcoming as
q result of the National bank of Illinois
failure. Col. W. " Jacobs, who corr
ceived the Calumet Electric railway
ana was forced out of control in 1895,
IS unable to push claims against the
officers of the National bank of Illinois,
because. all papers and books relating
to his connection with the Caiume-
Electric railway have been stolen.
According to Col. Jacobs the crime
was committed by one Of his confiden-
tial clerks. against whom a charge is
now pending in the United States court.
The claim is made that the theft OF the
papers in his possession was the sequel
of conspiracy which promises sensa-
tiOnal developments. In addition to the
significance attached to the stolen pa
pers in relation to the failure of the
National bank Of Illinois, the publica-
tion of a duplicate foreign exchange
credit for the defunct bank to Colonel
Jacobs places an entirely new phase
upon the suit which is now pending in
regard to the sale of the Englewood
and Chicago street railway company
The printing OF the fac SMILES of the
credit is expected to lead to the con-
viction Of the culprit, who is accused
of theft.
The significance attached to the miss
ing papers and books 50 far as the Ma
tional bank Of Illinois is concerned is
that they support Colonel Jacobs claims
and embrace his judgments against he

place AftefreA1ing other letters recit-
ing theH cfder methods employed in
Spanish prisons, Mr. Call declared that
these prisons were stained with the
blood of American citizens. 1t needed
but Investigation to unmask the extent
OF the butchery, he said. The senator
asserted that nation which failed TO
protect its, citizens justly deserved the
execration Of the civilized world.
Mr.. Cali spoke of the reports that the
powers of Europe would coerce the
United States. What effect, he asked.
would such a concert of European ma
tions have, when the sympathy of ma n
kind and the sentiment of the Christian
world was with the struggling patriots
of Cuba? 1t would be futile inter-
vention, even IL attempted, for no states
man of Europe could successfully APP
peal to the masses of his people to strike
at those engaged in a struggle for in
dependence and liberty.
II the United States remained passive
while such outrageS as those on Gown
and Sanguilly proceeded, there could be
no prosperity for this country and no re-
spect for 1t, declared Mr. Call 1t was
a spectacle which belittled the United
States in the eyes of the world.
At the close of the speech the senate
agreed to Mr.. Calls resolution request
ing theS secretary of state for all cores
pondence relating to the case of Julio
Sanguiliy.
The other resolution. demanding San
guilly's immediate release was referred
to the committee on foreign relations.
The bill providing free lsomesteads for
bona fide settlers on public lands ac-
quired from the Indians was then taken
up and debated at length. As it passed
the house the bill applied only to Okla
honra, and exempted settlers there from
the payment of the government price
heretofore fixed As amended in the
senate the bill extended the measure
to embrace all public lands acquired
from Indians. No final action had been
taken on the bill when, at o'clock the
serate adjourned.
WILL NOT BE PRESSED
In the absence of Senator Cameron
the senate committee on foreign rel'-
tions did not take up the Cuban question
today. When the committee adjourned
the opinion was expressed by some of tha
members that the Cameron resoluti IN
will not be pressed in the senate. The
committee agreed to a favorable report
on extra dition treaties with the Argen-
