WILL QUIT CANADA.
Du Bose and Carranza Sail from Mon
treaI Tonight.

Montreal, July 12.-Senor Du Bose, late
secretary of the Spanish legation at Wash
ingtOn, and Lieutenant Carranza, mill
tary attache will leave Montreal tonight
by the Dominion steamer Ottoman, at
the urgent request of the Dominion gov
eminent. The request was conveyed
through NJ. c. st. Pierre, Q. c., who was
counsel for Messrs. Du Bose and Car
rama in the litigation following the ar
rest of Detective Kellert on charge of
stealing a letter from Lieutenant Car
rama s rooms.
One June Mr.. St. Pierre received from
the solicitor general an urgent summons
in Ottawa. In an interview with the
members of the government, he was in
formed that the United States objected to
the presence of his clients in Canada and
with little fuss and trouble as posi-
Bile to induce them to leave. Mr.. St.
Pierre replied that nothing could be done
so long as the money Of his clients in the
Bank of Montreal was held under the ca
pias issued at the instance of Detective
kellert, but when their money was re-
leased he would see what they had to
say about going. He returned to Mon
treal and consulted his clients. Senior Du
Busc intimated his position to Mr.. St.
Pierre in letter in which he stated that
friction between his country nd the gov
eminent of Canada, and that, though a
sudden departure would cause him per-
sOnal Inconvenience and financial loss, he
would unhesitatingly comply with the
wishes of the Canadian government as
soon a. those wishes should be officially
made known to him.

WANTS HIS MONEY BACK.
Ed. Howe Sues a Defunct Corporation
for $4,000.

Atchison, Kan. July BE. W. Howe
has sued the Kansas Trust and Banking
company, a defunct organization, and
r. NJ. Manley, who was its vice presi-
dent and general manager, for $4,000,
and has attached property of Manley
to secure the claim. The suit grows out
of the Kansas Trust and Banking COM
pany's failure in 1898, and the claim
represents investments in debenture
bonds of the same institution.
1t is charged that the bonds, notes
and mortgages deposited to secure the
payment of the debenture bonds were
fraudulentIy replaced with worthless
paper The suit, at this time, is
direct result of a decision rendered in
the Kansas supreme court last week,
which is to the effect that a personal
judgment confessed at the time of the
Kansas Trust and Banking company
failure, by r. NJ Manley, for $4,000,
in favor of the estate of George Manley,
deceased, was invalid, because r. NJ.
NIanley was an heir, and owner of one
seventh of the Marley estate B. p
Waggener, who is Mr.. Howe's attor-
ney, believes that he will be able to
make the claim.

FRESH FROM HAVANA.
Spaniards Are Suffering in
IdIeness and HOpelesSness.

New York, July 12.-An interesting
account of the situation in Havana,
written by Senior F. Lopez Allue,
Madrid newspaper correspondent, has
reached the Cuban junta here. It was
written before the destruction of Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron and while the
inha of Havana were expecting
those vessels to come to their relief
with provisions.
In Havana" he wrote, eve are feel
ing more and more each day the de-
privatiOns due to the conduct of the
war. At the beginning of the trouble
when the American fleet first estab-
hshed the blockade there was plenty
of stores in warehouses and in the Gus
tom house, and for a time the traffic
and movements in the streets were the
same as in times of peace. Then it
was difficult to move about in such
streets as the Gale de Oficio, Gale In
outsider and Gale Obropia because of
the congestion of heavy trucks, loaded
wagons and vehicles of all kinds.
Now all is different. The merchan-
disc has been distributed from the GUS
tom house, and there is an utter para
lization in all branches of trade. Today
those streets, where once all was ac-
tivity and hustle wear a holiday or
dogs sniff along the cutters, which they
have cleared long since of all refuse.
They have lost their dOmesticity, flee
at the approach of a man and their
lean TANKS and hungry eyes give them
the appearance of wild animals.
In the shadow of every tree and
building can be seen dozens of steve
dOreS, cOachmen ,WagOnerS and public
laborers, lying idle and hopeless. For
weeks they have been without work
passing gradually from comparatively
Opulent living to a miserable existence.
Thousands of working men and women
in the tobacco industry are reduced to
the same condition.
Efforts have been made by the Of
fcials here to keep this condition of the
city and its people a secret. but L do not
believe that patriotism requires it. 1t
is necessary that these facts be made
public in order that the people of Mad
rid can appreciate the situation IN Ha-
Vana and recognize the efforts of the
people here to maintain the national
integrity, whatever the cost to them
The shore defenseS in Havana are
now competed. The task was Ii
tianic one, thousands of labOrerS being
kept at work day and night. 1t is but
just that I tell you that we owe all this
energy and activity to General PandO,
who. from the time of his arrival in
Havana on April p, has not been idle
q moment
Prom the insurrection we know
nothing or next to nothing. All such
news comes TO us py caDle from the
south, which is in the hands of the gov
eminent On the north we are complete
" incOmmunicadO. 1t is generally I'M
derstood, however, that our troops
have evacuated the interior of Orienta,
and have concentrated in forts along
the coast We have just heard that
the insurgents have driven our troops
from Bayamo and have taken posses
sion of that city. Such news as we
receive from Spain is so distorted by
the officials here that We can place little
reliance on it.
This letter goes OUT through the kind
ness of an officer on a German vessel
bound for Europe"

Gloucester, Lieutenant Commander
Richard Wainwright. CerVera and his
son had no garments but their under
clothes when taken on board the Glou-
out with wearing apparel. They were
then transferred to the battleship Iowa.
where they were received with all the
honor due to a gallant and vanquished
foe.
On the deck of the Iowa Cervera met
Eulate, commander of the Vizcaya. The
meeting was an affecting one. Eulate
with much emotion told his chief how
Captain Evans had refused to take his
sword, saying that he had surrendered
his ship to four vessels, not to the Iowa
alone, and that therefore he would not
receive his sword.
Eulate was much affected by the
magnanimity of Evans and told Evans
that it was the prOudeSt moment of his
life when the gallant American COM
mander allowed him to retain his treas
ured blade.
The Nizcaya survivors and her
wounded were helped on board the
Iowa Many Of the men were fearfully
mangIed. Surgeon Rand Crandan of
the Iowa took charge of the manned,
dressed their wounds and did all that
was possible to alleviate pain.
Cervera was greatly touched by the
humanity and zeal displayed by the
young medical officer, and as a token
of his appreciation gave to DR.. Crandan
his autograph, saying simply that he
had no other souvenir to offer, he, too,
having lost ''all bat honor
The wounded who died after being
taken on board were buried at sea from
the Iowa and with the honOrs of war.
They were wrapped in the flag for
which they had fought so well, and by
order of Captain Evans three volIeyS
were fired as the bodies went over the
