the subterfuge Of refusing to reissue
the same except in exchange for gold

any scheme of enlarging the powers
of national banks; that we oppose the
comforting of the power to issue notes
designed to have the same functions
as money to any bank, corporation or

"DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH"

Says Comptroller Eoksls As To Currency
Recommendation In Message.
Comptroller James Il. Eckels was in
st. Louis Monday as the guest Of the
Commercial Club. and delivered O
speech before that body, taking as his
subject "a Great Nations Weakne ss. "
After the meeting Comptroller Eek
els was asked II he agreed with the
recommendations Is to the currency
made by President Mckinley in his
recent message to congress. He said:
II think they are very good as far
as they 60. He does not go far enough,
in my opinion, when he says certain
things ought to be done il possible.
Things that ought TO be done, especial
ly when they SO vitality touch the
country's business life. The presi-
dent admits that the $346, 600, 900 OF
greenbacks and $4,000, 900 Sherman
legal tenders should be taken up and
would, I dare say, like to see 1t done;
but it is a conditional problem with
him. Those notes are simply Q debt
and the only way to get rid Of a debt
Is to pay it,"

IS SANGU|LLY A TRAITOR?
REPORT THAT INGURGENT GENER.
AL HAS JOINED sPANIARDs.
he MAKES DENIAL OF REPORT.
Peace Commissioners Are Missing aud
Supposed to Have Boon Hung
by Cubans.

. A special from Havana, via Key
West, Fla, states that it is announced
semi-oficially that General Ssnguilly,
the insurgent leader, has written Ia
Marshal Blanco rendering his services
Internationally.
Some Of the richest Spaniards OF
Cuba have held further meetings in
Havana, at Cienfuegos and at Sagua,
to consider the advisability Of sending
a petition to President Mckinley ask.
ing for the establishment Of United
States protectorate over Cuba, if,
within six months, the government
plans for the pacification Of the island
give no results.
At the Cuban junta headquarters, in
New York, and from other sources
here, it was learned that Sanguilly' g
loyalty to the Cuban cause had been
under suspicion for some time and that
his reported action in offering his SER
vices Internationally to General
Blanco was by no means q surprise.
Delegate Tomas Estrada Palma,
however, speaking for publication,
said he could hardly believe Sanguilly
had capitulated, but that he did not
attach much importance to the report,
even il true.
A prominent Cuban at New York re-.
ceived the following dispatch from
General Julio Sanguilly, dated Phila.
delphia, Monday night:
"Please deny the false and absurd report
Of my having offered my services to Gen.
eral Blanco or to the Spanish government.
1t Is an infamous lie."
Additional advices from Havana
state that it is officially announced
that the commissioners sent by Gen
eral Pando to parts Of the island with
instructions to negotiate with the in
surgents for their acceptance Of the
autonomous form OF government pro-
posed by Spain have not returned in q
single case, which seems to confirm
the reports that some Of them have
been hanged by the insurgents and
others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
1t is reported that Juan Delgado,
the insurgent leader, has hanged the
two commissioners who were sent to
him with peace propositions.

TWENTY-FIVE SAILORS MISSING,
Left Wrecked Steamer In Boats end Are
Probably Lost.

Left Wrecked Steamer In Boats and Are
Probably Lost.
A San Francisco dispatch says: Un.
certainty as to the fate Of the overdue
steamer Cleveland, which sailed De.
cember Ath for Seattle, was ended
Wednesday by the receipt Of q tele.
gram from Captain Hall, master Of the
ship, to the owner, Captain Charles
Nelson, Of San Francisco.
From the rather indefinite details so
far received it appears that the steam.
er is total wreck on the west coast Of
Vancouver island, in Barclay sound,
twelve miles north Of Cape Beale.
Twenty-Five men put off from the
ship in small boats. None Of these
boats have as yet been heard from and
1T is feared they are lost, although it is
possible they may have landed on the
coast of Vancouver island at some
remote point. The captain, chief en-
gineer, purser, three sailors and one
fireman, who remained on board the
Cleveland, succeeded in reaching the
shore safely.
The only passengers on the ship
were W. l.. Deittrick and Frank Ger
than, who are among the missing.
The vessel and cargo were valued at
$4,000, on which there is very little
insurance.
The Cleveland was built in 1866 and
was formerly an Atlantic Liner, run.
ming between Halifax and Queens
town, under the name of Sirius.

outcome OF the same old feud.
The Pettis people, too, are aroused
ana among the different factions there
is so much bad blood now that at apv
time there may be another shooting.
When it was discovered that r. L.
calm had met his death at the hands
OF another party besides Short Griffin.
his father,W H. Califf, ST., sought to
place the heavy hand of the law on the
shoulders of Gilman Carroll by going
before justice Of the peace and taking
oath that it was CAROLS hand that
fired the bullets killing his son.
When the officers in whose hands
the warrant for the arrest of Carroll
was placed called at his home, Carroll
had disappeared, having in some man.

against him.

GUARDING DURRANT'S PASTOR.
Preacher Gibson Said To Be In Danger Of
Assassination.


The San Francisco Examiner says:
"The police and the people Of
Emanuel Baptist church believe that
the life Of Rev. j. George Gibson,
Durrant's former pastor, is in danger.
The police have warned the reverend
gentleman to protect himself against
the possibility Of harm. The warning
has been needed and DR.. Gibson is
protected night and day.. The police
will detail an officer to attend every
public service at Emanuel church.
Since the murder in the church
many attempts have been made to cast
suspicion on the pastor, and his re-
fusal to be drawn into the case, even
as Durrant's spiritual adviser, has
caused much comment
