drawals of deposits and the impossi-
bility of realizing on our assets, it has
been decided by the board of directors
to suspend and the comptroller has
been advised of our action"
The officers OF the bank were inter
viewed, and while not prepared to
make any statement until the comp
troller and bank examiner could be
heard from, the following facts were
CLEANED from the statement made by
one of the bank officers:
Immediately following the failure of
the National Bank of Illinois and the

tanned a shrinkage of $4,000, while
their deposits amounted to about $417,-
600 during the past ii days. On Mon

The correspondent of the Liberia of
Madrid has had an interview with
General Weyler at the latter's camp
near Candelaria. When questioned if
he would issue q decree declaring the
proVinc of Pinar del Rio had been paci-
fed, General Weyler said he would not
adopt such q measure. He added that
his mOdesty and prudence counseled
him TO only dictate measures for the
organization of the forces remaining
in the province to pursue bandits 1t
was his intention, he declared, to send
two-thirds of his forces TO the PROV

trocha, which extends from JucaSo to
Moron. He would also order a concen-
tration in the cities and towns of all

Insurgents Are Active.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31.-The Cuban in
surgents are waging an active warfare
against the Spanish army in the east
ern provinces of the island. according
TO reports brought TO this city by
Captain Gray of Santiago de Cuba.
Soon after leaving Santiago no less
than six engagements on the edge of
the Juraga mountains between the in
Surgents and the Spanish soldiers were
Witnessed from the deck of the liver

shell were scattered in all directions in
the sea not far from the vessel, and
many wounded and dying men could

surgents. the captain says, were IN
dOubtedly part of Gomez army. who
had been sent to the coast to convey
an inSurgent expedition TO the interior
of the island. Nearly all the way from
Santiago to Cape Maysi insurgent
camps were visible.
While the TiVerton was in Nuevitas
the insurgents were encamped on the
outskirts of the town and could plainly
be seen in the early morning preparing
for breakfast. They even went so far,
Captain Gray declares, as to send chal-
lenges to the Spanish officers to at
tack them, but slipped away when
the soldiers appeared. When the Tiver-
ton left Santiago the number of sick
was growing less and the health of the
city was much improved.

iously been one of the 80 principal tax

ITO have been a senator or representa-
tive to the cortes III two or more legis-
latureS.

The provincial assembly is to consist
of six assembly. six from each region,
with term of Office of four years. The
election to fill the vacant seats shall take
place every two Years, the region of San
Juan voting at one election and the region

Receivers Appointed.

Chicago, Dec. S1-After much litiga-
ton in the state and federal courts,
Judge Haney today appointed James
Furlong and Justice Thomas Bradwell
receivers for the International Build
ing, Loan and Investment Union, at
the instance of a stockholder. His bill
was the sixth one filed against the as
sociation in a short time. The re-
ceivership will consolidate the various
suits. The association was recently re-
organized, but the litigation crippled
its resources and the Withdrawing
stockholders are still clamoring for
their money. Misappropriation of
funds by former officers is also alleged
in the bill for receivers.
