The Name,s the Thing.

Though his rhymes were not the newest
And his meter not the truest,
And his errors not the fewest,
Yet they took the verse he sent.
Twas poem on the weather,
All the chestnuts heaped together,
But it didn't matter whether
1t was old, the poem went.
For two words of magic meaning,
Every imperfection screening,
From the work all blemish cleaning,
Saved the verses from the flame.
This expression so redeeming,
With poetic fancy teeming,
Very soul of music seeming,
Was the famous poets name.

Havana, Jan. 1S.-The gunboats Cen
tinela and Tampingo left Manzanilo on
the night Of January 10 with the object
of going up the River Cauto to Fort Jaya-
mino, in compliance with the orders of
Gen. Bosch.At o'clock ON the morning of
January II both gunboats were near the
landing when an exploding torpedo,
which was sunk in the river, sank the
Tampingo. Those of the crew who were
not killed swan towards the shore, but
were fired upon from the banks. At this
critical moment a boat was launched from
the Ccntinela, which rescued the men in
the water. In view of the obstruction and
in view of the fact that the crews of both
gunboats had been seriously crippled, the
expedition had to return to Manzanillo.
Six of the officers and crew were killed
outright and all the rest received wounds
of more or less severity. On the gunboat
Centinela the commander was seriously
wounded, while of the crew one was killed
and Corporal Canadians, Pilot Duran,
Assistant Engineer Martinez and six of
the crew were wounded.

amount to about $250OOO, while the
liabilities were in the neighborhood Of
$230,O00. The recent furry in banking
affairs caused withdrawal of deposits to
such an extent that, although the bank re-
quired the sixty days notice, it was unable
to raise enough ready money to meet the
demands The Minnesota Savings bank
was incorporated in 1864 az the Union
Savings Bank of Rochester. Mimi, by
Senator Daniels of Rochester and his
friends and was operated in connection
with the Union National bank of Mime
apolis. In 1886 the legislature passed
law by which charters could be trans
ferred to other places than where granted
and under this law the Union Savings
bank was transferred to Bickel and his
associates and its name changed to Mime
sofa Savings bank, and the bank removed
here. The deed Of assignment was execut-
cd by the president of the bank, William
II. Bickel and the cashier of the bank +.
IIcintlen. The statement states that the
assets will aggregate S250,0O0 and Mr..
Bickel states the liabilities are about
$230,000 The bank has on deposit about
$40, 600 Of the city of st. Paul and about
$4,000 of the funds of Ramsey county. 1t

CUBAN WAR NEWS

Havana, Jan. 1S.-Capt. Gen. Weyler
has issued circular simplifying article
= of his edict of January II. 1t says
that the authorities must not permit gro
ceries or other supplies to leave town
unless the consignors guarantee the
loyalty of the receivers and vOuch for
their actual need. 1t provides for q
guard until the consignment arrives at
its destination. This step does away
still further with the ability of the insur-
gents to purchase supplies in the towns.
There is no denying that the work of
starving the insurgents into submission is
doing more effective work than victories
against them by force OF arms
The insurgents have attacked Santiago
de las Vegas this province, from sew
eral points. Their fire was answered by
the Spanish garrison in the trenches, and
a government force under Capt. En-
Clique attacked the enemy with such
vigor that the insurgents retreated, leav-
ing twenty men killed and many
wounded.
Senior Midas, editor of La Patria of
Santa Clara, has been imprisoned by
order of the governor of that province.
He is charged with publishing false
charges against the governor. The pub
lication of La Patria has been sus-
pended.
1t is reported Gen. Gomez has sent a
special messenger to Gen. Ruiz Rivera,
commander in Pinar del Rio, urging him
ut all hazards to create a diversion in
that part of the island so as 10 prevent
the captain general sending an over
whelming force against the army that is
advancing from the east.

time past has been regarded as unsafe.
The last statement issued by the bank,
December II, 1896, made very bad
showing. The figures showed that the -
per cent rule had been violated by about
Y per cent. Under the head of resources
II was given out that the bank held $113,-

very unsatisfactory as the "etcetera" was
not considered definite enough and since
this statement was issued the Withdrawals

Examiner Scott, who takes charge of
the banks affairs, made the following
statement:
There has been no run on the bank, but
