vessels have not yet steam up. The OBJ

The announcement that the squadron
was preparing for the Philippines is
probably false. Senor Aunon perhaps
went to Cadiz 10 ascertain why the Al

BANK PRESIDENT GONE.
Northampton. Mass. Institution L.
Closed by the COMPTROLLER.

The Comptroller Of the Currency this
morning closed the Hampshire County
National Bank. of Northampton. Mass.
The bank examiner was placed in charge
of the bank pending the closing up of its
affairs. The failure of the bank. accord
ing to Government officials. is due to the
defalcation of the president of the bank
Lewis Warner. The shortage amounts to
between s75, 900 and 100000.
President Warner is missing Accord
ing TO the last statement made by the
bank officers, the deposits amounted to
$50. geo; capital stock $3.50. 600 and. surplus
$40. 600. Warmers defalcation was brought
TO light through the corporation of
Comptroller of the Currency Dawes with
the State bank examiners of .Massachu-
setts. A short time ago suspicion was
aroused that all not right with the
bankers affairs and arrangements were
made to conduct an examination of the
Hampshire County National Rank and
the Hampshire County Savings Bank at
the same time Both banks are located
in the same building and Warner was
president Of both. Ii was suspected that
he might transfer the funds from one
bank to another if examinations We're
conducted separately. About the time
the examiners appeared, President War
ner disappeared.

We are a little bit puzzled to under

regard to Havana. We do not wish to
criticise il because. in a day or two,
he may dismiss Congress ana put a
censorship over the press. Things ike
that. although sometimes resorted to in
war times. are paralyzing 40 the mouths

TO incite such action.
IL may be allowed to Us. however. to

ner, what Mr.. Mckinley means by
allowing the chief stronghold Of Spain
To remain intact, when a few shells
from Mariana Bay. seven miles west
from MORO Castle, would reduce it?
The Times disavows any idea of
making the smallest remark concerning
what the Commander-in-Chie may or
may not do. There is a sacredness
about him which we fully recognize,
and, in fact, idolize! But what has
Sampson got ammunition for-and
must il be kept in the magazines until
we can get rid of Congress?
Mr. Mckinley, you have received and
accepted the mandate of the American
people Is this to be a fight or a foot
race?

Early on the morning of October l. last

occupants of which were Mrs. Zane, a
very aged lady, and her daughter, Mrs.
Shaw. and grandson, Eli Shaw, a young
man twenty-five years Of age. Neighbors
and police officers soon rushed into the
house and there discovered that Mrs.
Shaw and her mother. Mrs Zane. had
been shot. Mrs. Shaw being dead and Mrs.
Zane dying in the hospital shortly after

Eli Shaw, a few days afterward was ar
rested and indicted for the crime, and
brought To a speedy trial. which resulted
in mis-trial. a second trial has Just
been finished, and a verdict of not guilty
was rendered at 10 O'Clock this morning.
Eli Shaw was 10 have been married very
shortly. and as he was Joint heir To his
grandmother's estate, the state tried to
make it appear that he murdered his
grandmother in order to sooner come in

having witnessed the murder he killed her
TO hide all evidence against him.
The verdict meets with popular favor in
this city.
