London, Feb. IA dispatch to The
Chronicle from Athens says that Prince
George and the fiotilla which he COM
mands has been ordered to prevent any
transport with Turkish troops ON board
from approaching Crete. Grecian troops
are rapidly being sent to the frontier
as q precautionary measure. It IL re-
ported In Athens that the insurgents
have cut on the water supply 6f Canea.
This and the scarcity Of food. will prob
ably force the Turks to surrender the
town.
1t is stated that two ranks Of recruits
will be--ealled under arms at once.
Inasmuch as the Turks still refuse to
allow Christians to leave Retimo. the
Grecian government appears to have
decided to use serious measures with an
idea Of coercion. The union Of Greece and
Crete was proclaimed after divine SER
vice Thursday in four provinces Of
Crete. Another dispatch to The Chron-
icle from Rome asserts that the insur-
gents have entire possession Of Crete
with the exception Of few towns.

BANK CASHIER ENDS BADLY.
DISCOVERY OF A SHORTAGE FOL-
LOWED BY SUICIDE.

The Duck Pond in Druid Hill Park
the Scene of His seIf-DestructiOn
by DrOwning-The Deceased a
Leader in Church Work and a
Man in Whom I'm mplicit Confidence
Was Placed.
Baltimore, Md, Jan. 4-Richard Corne-
Illus, one of the Oldest and best known
bank cashiers of this city, committed sui
eide to-day. His body was found
in the duck pond in Druid
Hill park this afternoon, a
few hours after a shortage of $4,000 had
been discovered in his accounts at the
National Farmers and Planters Bank.
Last Saturday Bank Examiner Marshall
Winchester drew the attention of the Of
ficers of the bank to some irregularities
in the accounts of an out of town insti-
tuition. This morning Mr.. Cornelius was
asked to explain the Irregularities. He
did not attempt to do so, but abruptly
walked off. A closer examination of his
accounts disclosed an apparent shortage
of $60000
When the officers of the bank learned
that the cashier had left the building they
traced the defaulter to Druid Hill park,
and thence to the duck pond. There
they found his body floating in the water.
The man had evidently held himself to
the bottom of the pond by the weeds that
had grown here.
Mr.. Cornelius was 6S years old, and had
been connected with the National Farm
ers' and Planters Bank for over forty
two years. He was a close friend of the
late Enoch Pratt, who was president of
the bank for almost half a century. In
religious circles Mr.. Cornelius was almost
as prominent as in banking circles. His
tragic end was the sole topic of conversa-
ton in downtown circles this afternoon.
Hundreds of his friends refused to be-
lieve that he was either defaulter or a
suicide. The matter caused more excite
ment in the banking district than any
other event in years.
For many years Mr.. Cornelius had been
very prominent in Methodism, and at the
time of his death was a local preacher
in the Baltimore conference, president of
the City Missionary and Church Exten-
sion Society, president of the Emery
Grove Association, one of the trustees of
the Baltimore annual conference, and a
member of the official board of the Madi-
son Avenue church. He attended divine
worship twice yesterday. He lived at 1725
Madison ovenue, where his body was re-
moved to.
The National Farmers and Planters
Bank is one of the oldest and is censid-
cred one of the strongest in the city. II
has paid 10 per cent. dividends for several
years, in addition to adding to its sur
plus fund annually. The surplus given in
the banks report on Dec. II, 1896, was
100000. Its capital stock is $S00,000.

HARD BATTLE IN CUBA.
a Body of 1000 Cubans Fights the
Spaniards For Five Hours.

FOE rive HOURS
Havana, Jan. 4.-Captain General Wey-
Ter returned to Havana last evening, ar
riving on board the ship lie Gazpi from
Mariel at 5 o'clock. Col Benedito, with
his column, has had a fierce engagement
lasting five hours with united parties of
rebels under the leaders Aguierre, Arang-
uren and Arrange, aggregating 2.eo0 men.
The battle was fought near Tepaste, in
the province of Havana. The Spaniards,
who were largely outnumbered. fought
until their last cartridge was gone and
were only saved from being routed by the
rebels by the timely arrival on the field
of a reinforcing column from Tapaste, un-
der command of Col. Aguilara. After the
arrival of these troops the tide turned and
the rebels were driven back and dispers-
ed. leaving thirty-eight dead on the field.
The Spaniards captured four prisoners,
but they were wounded and died later
from their injuries The troops had one
officer and fourteen privates wounded.
Several detachments of Col. Melquzos
column, while reconnoitering at Monies,
Capiazo and other places have destroyed
over 400 huts Of all kinds and demolished
all of the forage and other resources of
the enemy south of Jajas and Palito hills.
The detachments also surprised a rebel
camp, occupied by small party of in
surgents, three Of whom were killed. The
troops suffered no losses.
Francisco Padron was shot in the Ca
bana fortress at sunrise this morning for
the crime of rebellion.
