a ROGUE'S CONFESSION.
Banker Cross Leaves a Written Ac-
count of His Rascality. Giving n
Hard Luck SIorY as ENcMse.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 23.-Since the
failure of the First national bank,
which was followed by the suicide of
Charles S. Cross, president of the bank
and owner of the celebrated Sunnyside
stock farm, there have been rumors of
written confession left behind by
pnblic last night by William Martin
dale, vice president of the bank, and
has caused sensation in Emporia, for
it is an acknowledgement by the sui
eide that he has Systematically de-
ceived and defrauded not only the
patrons of his bank, but his business
associates. The letter follows:
"Emporia. Kan, May IL. 1898.
81 desire to state that the misfor-
tunes of myself and the bank have
been caused through my faults and er-
rors | inherited large debt, which
/ endeavored to meet by going into
other schemes which have all been
practical failures and only got me
deeper into the mire. AS to the bank
matters, | desire to say that | have
carefully tried to deceive both the
board of directors, the cashier and
employees. Mr.. Martindale will now
learn for the first time how l have
carefully deceived him, principally by
way of substituted paper of which he
has no knowledge. The reports and
letters written to the comptroller have
been by me misrepresented to the
board, they having signed on the last
page and | having sent other let
tiers than the ones read to them,
changing every one but the last sheet.
II have had a hard luck story most
of my lifetime, the only pleasant fea-
ture being that of my present wife,
who has been good and true woman.
Mr. Davis, our cashier, has never
made an improper entry on the books
and knows nothing of this whole mis-
erable business. Death | do not fear.
1t is prefera bic to the agony of the
past year. | know of nothing further
to add except as to Mr.. Martindale.
This is terrible thing for him. He
has trusted me without reserve. |
have given him bill of sale of all my
personal property. c. :. CROSS"

SENIOR POLO'S CAREER.
a Sketch of the New Spanish Minis
ter's Life.

Senior Polo comes of a distinguished
Spanish family. His father, Jose Po-
10. was an admiral in the Spanish ma
w, and, after, serving his country on
the seas, entered the diplomatic cir
cles. He was minister to the United
States from 1871 to 1875, which pc ii
cd was marked by the Nirginius cpl
sode which nearly resulted in rupt-
ure between this country and Spain.
The present minister entered the
Spanish diplomatic circles while his
father was minister to the United
states. He was promoted in 1875 from
attache to third secretary of the lr.
CATION at Washington, and remained
in this city until 1881, when he was
transferred to duty in the foreign Of
flee in Madrid. In 1882 he was APP
pointed second secretary of the lega-
ton at The Hague, and returned to
duty in the foreign office in 1855. just
after that he was elevated to the
rank of minister, in which capacity
he was first accredited to Egypt and
then to Brazil, being recalled from the
latter country to become chief of the
commercial branch of the Madrid for
eign office.
He has made a study of commercial
relations and has written several ire
tises His rise as diplomat has been
rapid, and his selection by Premier
Sagasta to the important post at the
city of Washington is a high comp!i-
ment to his ability, tact and sagac "
as well. Senior Polo is only 45 years
old. but he has the appearance of al
older man. \ few years ago he MAJ
ried the daughter of Senior Mendiz de
Vigo. Spanish minister to Germany.
The sonora is much younger than her
husband, and is described as one Of
the greatest beauties of Spain. She
is now on visit to her father in Ger
many. but is expected to join her hus-
band in this city in May.-EXchange.

A SMART CABIN BOY.
NJ. Akada of the Steamer Belgic Ar
rested on a Charge of EXtortion.

NJ. Akada,, a cabin boy of the stea-
mer Belgic, has been doing a land Of
flee business with his countrymen who

S1j each he could fix it. They give
him the money before the arrival of
the steamer, and did not know that
anything was wrong Until they be-
gan to talk with their countrymen in

they had been victimized.
When the steamer arrived on her
present trip they came upon Altada.
and demanded back their money, but
he refused. and yesterday Bahia APP
peared in Judge Joachimsen's court.
and swore to a complaint for the ar
rest of Nkada on a charge of eNtor-

one would be enough.
