ANOTHER BANK CLOSES.
THE BELKNAP SAVINGS LOST
MUCH ON WESTERN FARMS.
Great Decrease In the Value OF Grains and
With Drawals the Cause Of Suspension.

Laconia, N. H., May 20.-At meeting
of the trustees of the Belknap Savings
bank, held yesterday, it was voted
unanimously that the bank go into VOL
untary liquidation and divide the assets
among depositors as fast as the assets
can be advantageously converted. Ed
win +. Burleigh Is president and John
w. Ashman treasurer of the institution.
In their statement to the public the trus-
tees say that a steady decrease of depos-
it's and increase of Withdrawals since the
panic of 1893 began to affect institutions
of this character have been shared by
this bank, with many others. During
the past four years the finance COM
uittee has had nearly all the Western
real estate examined and valued, and has
a nearly complete record of the condi-
ton and value of all it's Western prop
erty. The finance committee has made
no investments in the West, and such as
are owned by the bank were the result
of purchases by the late president Of the
bank, Major n. b. Gale, who, In COM
mon with other bankers in New Eng
land, regarded Western real estate as
among the safest kinds of investments.
The long continued business depres-
in the West, and the extremely low
prices of Western farm produce, have
rendered it almost impossible for the
Western farmer to meet his interest, to
say nothing of paying the principle of
his notes. Accordingly, the holders of
Western mortgages have been obliged
to foreclose and take the property, and
this bank, i'm common with others, has
FOL Il 1sNf
ern real estate by foreclosure. There is
no reason to apprehend much loss on this
real estate. though at present it is not
easy to sell 1t. A return of business pros
perity will create "A demand for 1t. and
under such circumstances much of it can
be sold at profit

cess of deposits i'm the panic Of 1S93 for

CUBA LOST TO SPAIN.
Proposition OF Gomez and Cisneros
to Buy the Island.

Proposition of Gomez and Cisneros
to Buy the Island.
NEW YORK, March pa dispatch
to the World from Havana says:
Only few of the more excitable
Spanish officers refuse to admit that
Cuba is lost to the Crown. Resident
Spanish confess that they can see no
other outcome. The calmest minds
predict the end of the Spanish rule in
two years.
The proposition of Cisneros and Co
mez to buy the island is rapidly grow
ing in popularity here. Its warmest ad-
vocates are Spanish and Cuban resi-
dents here loyal to the crown. They
are the active financial and business
men of the island, and the owners of
eight-tenths of its wealth and sources
of wealth.
The Spanish element is condemning
with more and more emphasis the
fruitless and exhausting policy of Cen
eral Weyler They see his idea of pa
cification is depopulation, his plan for
peace devastation.

OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.

Secretary sherman Now Knows
Blockade Has Begun.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Secre-
tary of State Sherman has been mott
fed that pacific blockade of Crete was
begun at o'clock Sunday morning.
The notification was made in concert
by the representatives of the six sig
natory powers to the Berlin treaty
Great Britain, Italy, France, Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Russia.
TIE language of the several notes is
identical. They formally announce the
commencement of the blockade of Gre
tan ports against ships flying the
Greek flag. 1t is further declared that
merchant vessels of mutual powers,
including the United States, will not
be disturbed in their usual commercial
ventures, providing cargoes contain no
merchandise for use by the Greeks or
insurgents of the island. Such vessels,
however, will be subject to inspection
by the blockading war ships of the
concerted squadrons.
There is little likelihood that the
United States will give its assent to
the blockade, or in fact, even notice the
communications of the several powers.
Mr.. Sherman said the matter, because
of its most remote interest to this
Government, had not been considered
in any way. It is not likely to receive
consideration until merchant vessel
Of the United States attempting to en-
ter the Cretan ports, is prevented by
the blockading ships. The master OF
the American ship would in this case
call the matter to the attention of the
Navy Department, and President Nc
Kinley would then have to decide upon
a policy.
In view of the fact that only three
vessels flying the American flag passed
through the Suez canal in the year
1895, two of which were private yachts
and the third a war ship, and only one
also war ship, in 1896, it is thought
there is little possibility of the United
States becoming involved.
While Secretary Sherman declined tc
discuss the matter in any way, the
older officials of the State Department
take the ground that should the case
arise the United States would be likely
to refuse to recognize the blockade
There are no precedents for refusing
to recognize blockade, but there are
many prominent international lawyers
who contend that pacific blockaders'
for the purpose of coercion are in VIC.
lation of the laws of the nations.

NEWS FROM CRETE
United States Government Must
Nov Act.
DOES BLOCKADE VIOLATE LAW
American Commerce Will
Be Permitted.
British Premier Denies that the
Powers are Acting as
Sultan's Agents.

LONDON, March 22.-oficial notice
of the blockade of Crete was not sent
TO the United States Embassy until to-
day. It was accompanied by request
from the Foreign Office that it be com
municated by the Charge d'Affaires to
the Government at Washington, and
made public for the information of cit
liens OF the United States.
The necessity will therefore be forced
on the Mckinley administration either
to tacitly acknowledge the validity of
of the blockade by complying with the
request of the British Government, OF
to distinctly refuse to recognize the
blockade, and give reasons under in
ternational law for the refusal.
The only information thus far re-
ceived in London regarding the atti-
tude of the Washington Government
is dispatch to the Standard affirming
that the President will strictly adhere,
with regard to Crete, to the safe neu-
trail policy pursued by his predecessor
toward Spain in Cuba.
Crete is, of course, radically different
from Cuba. The action of the powers
in blockading Turkish territory in a
time of peace can only be legalized by
their assuming the character of agents
of the Turkish Government, with the
consent of the Sultan. Such, in fact,
they are, but Salisbury has emphatical-
ly denied it every time the point has
been raised against him by his critics.
1t would have a tremendous effect on
British public opinion if the United
States, in response to his notice of the
blockade, should ask the obvious ques-
ton whether he was acting as the
agent of the Sultan
The British Premier then would be
compelled to assume publicly a role
which is rightly regarded as odious by
British public opinion, or acknowledge
The blockade to be an outrageous VIC

knows that we are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
"Stearns" this time, as the lot of '97
wheels which left New York on Febru-
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia, %

come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received, and we are sure
to be out of both makes before we can
get a good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (4D BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March Both, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them.
Our "Columbias" this year, as well
as our "Ramblers," are fitted with the
well-known G. & ]. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen.
uine G. & ]. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G. & J. tire is sold by the
Rambler" Agency here, and is fitted
to wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said to be G. & ]. and look
just the same, but you won't want more
than one pair; looks don't wear, you
know.
Points of interest to you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
"Columbias, the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies'
'.Ramblers;" in fact, you will find lots
to interest you, and you are welcome to
examine any wheel to your hearts con-
tent, even If you have no idea of buy
