KEY WEST, March "A naval officer.
one of the few at the time this dispatch Is
sent who are aware OF the latest change
of plans, says that he thought it most sig
nificant that cruiser OF the Montgom-
ery's caliber should be sent to take the
place OF a mere dispatch boat. The Official
expressed the greatest surprise when
shown the Associated Press dispatch from
Washington. regarding the sending Of the
Montgomery TO Havana, as the strictest
orders had been issued TO keep this move
ment secret.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press went on board the cruiser Montgom-
cry late tonight. \ high officer on board
said:
NO, we don't mind going to Havana n
bit We shall be off in the morning. un-
less we get countermanding order. The
changes have kept US on the jump. and
We hardly know where we are. With pro-
visions and ammunition aboard. however,
we are prepared TO go anywhere"

STOPPING THE RUN. S
Ingenious Way of Saving the Credit Of
Spanish Banks.

Ingenious Way of Saving the Credit OF
Spanish Banks.
A man who recently left Lisbon tells
an interesting story Of the manner In
which the Bank of Spain checked the
run upon that institution several weeks
ago. The circulating medium of Spain
consists of the notes of that bank and
the silver which is held to redeem them
to rs per cent, believe, of their par
value. AS the public were losing con-
fidence in the financial stability of the
government, crowds of people took
their paper notes to the bank for re-
demption. Under ordinary circum-
stances, they will exchange silver for a
paper note without any delay, but when
the run commenced the managers
found it necessary to adopt some meas
ures to restore confidence and to save
the specie in their own vaults. 1t would
not do, of course, for them to show the
white feather or refuse to redeem their
own notes, SO they adopted an ingeni-
Gus plan which ultimately tired out the
people and stopped the demand for
coin. Thousands of people surrounded
the bank-many Of them were in bad
temper-and stood in lines several
blocks long awaiting their turn at the
cashiers counter. When one of them,
finally reached him and laid down the
note he wished to exchange for silver
ecoin, he was held for five or ten min
Flutes and subjected to a cross-eXamina-
ton such as might have been given
him by census enumerator. In the
meantime, clerk wrote his answers
down upon a blank form-his age, oc-
cupation, residence, birthplace, the
names of his parents, etc. Then he
was required to sign a formal applica-
ton for the exchange of twenty pesetas,
for example, in paper, for their equiya-
lent in silver. Then he was sent away
and told to return in three days.
On the third day the man would re-
turn and, after standing in line again
all day and all night, perhaps, would
reach the cashiers counter. He would
be required to bring somebody to iden-
tify him and to certify that he was the
person described in the paper present.
ed. This took couple of days more,
perhaps, and finally he was given a
certificate or draft upon another CASH
Ter, who, he was told, would pay him
the money. This made 1t necessary for
him to stand in another line for day
or two, and when he finally reached
the proper place he would be required
to sign receipt and make an oath Of
allegiance to the government and an
Endorsement of the financial soundness
of the bank. Thus by this circum-
locution arrangement a man had to
waste seven or eight days to get a pa
per dollar changed into silver, and the
transaction was so tedious and compli-
Gated that each consumed fifteen or
twenty minutes. AS there was only
one cashier not more than forty or fifty
persons at the utmost could be served
in day, and the clamor finally SUBJ
sided from exhaustion.

No red nosed, haggard faced old man met

gave evidence that his saw had made quick
