REFORMS COME TOO LATE.
The Cubans Are Acquainted With the
Sham Reforms of Spain.

New York, Feb. 4.-Senor Palma, the
head of the Cuban junta in this city. was
asked today if the insurgents would lay
down their arms upon the PRONUNCIATION
of the plan of reform for the administra-
ton of the island. He declined to an
swer catcgorically, but said
Had genuine autonomy instead of
sham reforms been offered to the people
of Cuba before they rose in arms, the
Cubans would surely have accepted it
and therefore bloOdshcd and total devas-
tation of the island would have been
avoided.
IF the Cuban people did not accept
sham reforms then and arose in arms,
how now would they accept any kind of
compromise which has not for its basis
the absolute independence Of the island.
They are sure of success and one thing
is certain, that the Cubans will never
place their nccks again under the Span
ish yoke.
''1'hey have shown themselves so far
capable of conQuering the Spanish and
governing themselves

hank sIInatton.

The affairs of the Bank of Hutchln-
son have been dragging along from
day to day with little news for the i'm
patient public and the suffering de-
posit0rs. On last Friday one of the
foremost lawyers of Kansas City,
O'Grady by name, arrived to look after
Mr.. Canterbury's interests. He
looked over the affairs and sized up
the situation, had a conference with
Mr.. 3reidenthal and went away again.
1t is said that his report to Mr.
Breidenthal of the condition of his
clients case was anything but rosy.
However, one can not always depend
on what a lawyer may say to Cne who
is prosecuting or about to prosecute
his client. But anyway it was not
long till Mr.. Breidenthal gave them
notice Friday night that the money
necessary to straighetn up the affairs
of the bank, $4,000, would have to be
forthcoming by Tuesday morning
George Canterbury and Attorney
.0'Grauy left that night to endeavor to
work with the father-in-law of the
president of the bank, Mr. McKibben,
and secure the money, Mr.. McKib-
ben, it is said, is amply able to render
the assistance needed. On Monday,
evidently believing there was pros
pect of raising the money, The bank
commissioners gave them more time.
Tuesday o Grady was here again, evil

No warrants have been served for
the arrest of the bank officials, but al.
most from the time Of the closing of
toe bank MIR. Canterbury has been
carefully guarded.
Public feeling is running high and
should the people who have suffered
find that there is more OF a disposition
on his part to fight the prosecution
than to get the money, or should they
discover that his failure to put up the
money is due less to inability than to
indispOsltion, it may reach the boiling
point.
However, we hear nothing but com
phments to the bank commissioners de-
partment for its services, for Of course,
what the people want is their money
and they feel that by these delays there
may be something gained and certainly
nothing will be lost.
But as there appears to be no doubt
chat the interior affairs of the bank
management are thoroughly rotten,
the people are righteously indignant,
and with the developments which seem
to be IN store in case The money is not
raised to pay off the depOsitOrs, it may
we'll be calculated that much worse is
in store. And they can not be greatly
blamed if they should do something
