Ha1f-Fare for the Big Encampment
Assured.

The officers of the Grand Lodge Of
Elks and the local executive commit
tee of the same order were In secret
session several hours yesterday at the
West hotel. The gentlemen stated that
their business was entirely of a rou-
tine nature, and that there was moth
ing of interest to the public. Their
deliberations consisted largely in the
selection of accommodations for the
various officers and committees which
will be in Minneapolis during the grand
lodge session next July.
The Elks, however, We're delighted
with the news received Friday night,
to the effect that the mattor Of a so
day limit had been satisfactorily ar
ranged in connection with the half fare
rate granted by the railroads, and the
cup of joy of the transportation. COM
mittee is now full totrunning over. This
was all that was needed to put the Elks
in a position to arrange for the biggest
event in their history, and now that it
is settled, they are jubilant.
The grand lodge officers occupied a
box at the Metropolitan theater in the
afternoon at the special invitation Of
Clay Clement, the actor. They left
for their respective homes on the even

For some little time George w. Por-

Mr.. Porter informed the reporter

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 30.-A daring

hours fighting dislodged the garrison.
After summoning the. fort to surrender.

shell flew wide; but the second and
third made big gaps in the sides, kill
ing several Of the garrison A fierce
infantry fire was maintained, and soon
the garrison flew the white flag. They
were all paroled. Fifteen of the gar
rison were killed, while but one Cuban
was hurt. Proceeding on to the next
fort, the garrison came over to the in
surgents at the first demand and stat
ed that they wished to fight for Cuba
They were sick at heart of the murder
Gus work which they were obliged to
do. There were 100 men and three
officers with a goodly supply of am
munition. Both forts were DESTROYED.
At Fort No. a stout resistance was
made, but two shots from the dynamite
gun compelled them to surrender The
Sd1i 1SO1l was dlIOWSQ their freedom.
This fort was also. burned. In all the
three forts much valuable ammunition
and guns were secured. At Fort No.
6 a strong Spanish reinforcement had
been received, and the Cubans moved
off. This leaves the. trocha open for
any Cuban band that may desire to
pass through.
One of Sanguine's guerrilla bands en-
tered small town called MontroVia
and told the people = to move to San
Cristobal at once. The town was then
burned and six men shot Sixteen of
the women were taken prisoners and
turned over to the men by. Capt Nor
dardo. Two Of them killed themselves
with daggers rather than suffer the
fate in store for them. San Cristobal
and Artemisa are now, crowded with
poor people compelled to live in the
towns garrisoned by Weyler's terrors.

HAVE LITTLE HOPE.
DepOsitOrs of Bank Sc New England
Trying to Get Something.

Judge Belden heard a large number
of attorneys yesterday morning, in ar
guments which were intended to as
sst the court in arriving at findings Of
fact in the action against the stock
holders of the Bank of New England.
The attorneys were present for the
purpose of representing various clients.
The arguments appeared to be end
less, and for the purpose of arriving
at an end as quickly as possible, it
was finally decided that findings of
fact should be drawn covering all the
stockholders except those 7contesting,
and this was done. The balance of
the stockholders will have their cases
covered in special findings. These are
J. F. Calhoun, Frank J. Jungen, e.
Wright Davidson and S. E. Olson.
The full amount Of the stock is 100000,
and it is thought that, if the whole
double liability could be collected, il
would not pay off the depositors.
Those who lost money in the bank
generally believe that they will re-
ceive very few cents on the dollar for
their claims.

RESERVE PILING UP.
Financial Situation in New York
Continues Interesting.


NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The Finapcier
says this week: The excess reserve
Of the New York city banks is now
approximately equal to the com bined
capital of the members Of the clearing
house association, and the amount IS
steadily increasing. The decrease in
loans shows the effects Of the present
congested money market at this center
The policy of the banks, until this
week, has been to refuse to lend money
for less than 2 per cent as many of
them were paying that amol.41t On
balances, but if the present move to re-
duce interest on bank accounts to less
than that amount is successful, the
loans which now go to trust companies
may be reflected in the bank statement.
But aside from that feature the
liquidation in sterling exchange bills.
which was mentioned in this analysis
last week, has operated to reduce loans
since the closing of these accounts has
necessarily cancelled loans on sterling
security.
The present situation is interesting.
even if unsatisfactory. There is no
probability of relief in gold exports and
the relief which government bonds
sales gave to the money market in the
past will not be repeated.
