philadelphia, May j--'The British
freight steamship Lucilene, Captain
Tucker. arrived here this afternoon
from the blockaded city of Havana
with 1l2 Cuban refugees on board. The

and sugar She left Havana April %.
three days after the blockade was in

prominent Cubans and among them are
lawyers. doctors. bankers and planters.

were also among the refugees.
The Iucilcnc arrived here at 3 o'clock,
and a sigh of relief went up from those
on board when they found themselves
at last ON friendly soil \ reporter for
the Associated Press boarded the snip
as soon as she docked. All the passen-
gers were well and apparently none the
worse for their hurried departure from
Cuba There were many women ana
children on board as well as quite a
number of pretty Cuban girls. sitting

reach this country. While he was
mayor Of San Nicholas the insurgents
captured the town, and he was subse-
uuently thrown into Cabanas fortress
by the Spaniards as traitor He was
confined there for sixteen months.
Joseph Dumas, a naturali2ed Ameri-
can who has lived in Havana for sew
enteen years, was interviewed by the
Associated Press reporter He said
that Havana was in a semi-panic when
the LuCilene left.
AUTHORITIES FRIGHTENED.
"The Spanish authorities spoke
braValy," said he, "of how they would
repulse the American invaders, but one
could tell by looking in their faces that
they were frightened. As many as
could afford to do so were preparing to
leave the city. The Lucilene did not
expect to carry any passengers, but
Captain Tucker yielded to the pathetic
appeals of tho Cubans. On the after
noon of April 25, the day of her sailing,
he consented to take 112 Of us. We left
Havana at $50 p. m. without molesta-
ton. Early the same evening we
sighted the United States flagship New
York which signalled us to lay to. our
captain did not hear the signal. The
New York fired two shots at us and
we stopped. A lieutenant from the
New York boarded our vessel and after
satisfying himself as to our identity,
allowed us to proceed.
owing to our hasty departure, our
accommodations aboard ship that night
were poor. one woman, an American,
with seven children, slept in a coal
bunker. II was the intention of many
of us to go to Bermuda, but we would
have had 10 undergo fourteen days of
quarantine and we decided to come Ia
the United States. We stopped at Mas
sau, n. p. for provisions and at Tyhee
for coal. The remainder of our trip was
uneNentful"
Mr.. Dumas said that none of the
refugees will go back to Cuba until
the island is free. Some of them will
go to New York and others will 60 to
Mexico, where they have sent their
families.
The Lucilene is said to have brought
a large amount of gold coin consigned
to American banking houses.

Condition of National Banks

An abstract of the reports of the con-
dition of all the national banks in the
United States on Sept. 20, 1898, is at hand
from the office of the comptroller. There
were 1886 banks in active operation at that
time. The report nearest to the same date
last year was Oct. 5, when 1910 banks re-
ported, showing a net loss of twenty-five
banks during the twelve months, despite
the number of new banks organized in the
interval. The loss is due rather to voun-
tary liquidations and consultations than to
failures, though several of the latter have
been reported The December statement
will probably show a still greater shrink
age, as there have been quite number of
consultations effected since Sept 20 and
others are expected. Excessive competition
and heavy taxes have crowded out of ex-
istence quite number of national and state
banks during the year.
For the first time in the history of these
banks their aggregate resources have reached
"a, 200 600. This is double the amount re-
ported little over eighteen years ago. 1t
was IN the spring of 1880 that the resources
were first expressed by the two thousand
million mark. 1t will be remembered, says
the San Francisco Bulletin, that the ma
tionai bank system was launched in 1863,
and the first report was for Oct 5, 1863 At
that time sixty-six banks reported their
combined resources at Sl6, 797, 644 In lit
tle less than thirty-five years this sum has
increased to S4,OO3,5ll ,045. Such banking
growth IS unparalleled in this country. The
national bank system has truly become a
great money power. A combination of
these resources, if such thing were possible.
could make or break any enterprise or any
political movement. The banks, however,
are not in business for sinister designs. They
prosper best when the country is the most
prosperous.
A comparison Of some of the items in the
report before us with that made wear 400
brings out interesting facts. Asa whole, the
a resources ire show an increase for the year of
S298, 1887. This is a gain of 8 per cent n
the state and private banks have gained in
the same proportion, such gain means a net
increase in the moneyed wealth of the peo.
pie. The loans and overdrafts ont on the

SPANISH STRATEGY
An Idiotic Plan Conceived by General
Blanco

HAVANA, Dec. GA writer who lives
in this city declares he has most ample con-
vincing documentary evidence that, July
I'd, American Consul Ramsden at Santiago
telegraphed to British Consu-General Col
Ian at Havana in plain English that Cervera
had notified the French Consul that i'm
mediately the army entered Santiago he
would open fire on the city. This caused
CONSERVATION at Havana, and Gollan at
once reported to the British Foreign Of
flee, London, and wrote to Blanco, telling
him that he was aware of Cervera inten-
ton; protesting in the name of humanity,
and requesting Blanco to have Cervera de-
lay. An hour later Blanco answered
through Congosto, his encouragement,
that Cervera was chief OF the squadron,
and that he alone had power to take
measures deemed best for the success of
the campaign"
The British Foreign Office had mean
while communicated with Madrid and in
structed Gollan to act eneTgetieally. The
next morning he sent word to Blanco that
the British Government. if Santiago was
bombardcd by the Spanish fleet, would con-
slider the act a wanton outrage against hui
mainly. Blanco backed down, and gave
Cervera the famous order to leave the har-
Dor, which was done next morning
