leader In the revolution which caused Ser
rano so much trouble. For this he was ar
rested and condemnt to death. He escaped
the prison and fed to Geneva and later to
Paris. He returned to Spain in 1868 as a
leader OF the Republican faction. He made
magnificent fight for republic. In 1869
he was elected to the Cortes. He there had
much to do with the shaping of the new
constitution. After the abdication OF King
Amadea he was minister OF foreign affairs.
In 1873 he was president Of the Cortes. He
here assumed dictatorial power. When Al

eva, but could not remain away from his

BANGOR. Me-, Nov. N.-The officials OF
the Bangor Savings bank have refused to
make loan Of $4,000 to the city of Bangor
upon notes drawn against $4,000 of uncol-
lected taxes, running back to 1886. The
money is wanted for the improvements now
In progress upon the waterworks. The Sc
curity is deemed insufficient as It Is the
opinion that in case the collection from the
back taxes should fall short of the amount
of tho loan, the city could not be sued for
the shortage. Mayor Beal expects to raise
the money by popular loan, and AYERS that
the work will go Oh.
