Bank Examiner Ever closely examined
the books of the Hampshire County
National bank and Hampshire County
Savings bank. both of Northampton.
The result shows that there is short
age of about $1S,S47 in the savings
bank, and one of probably much larger
proportions in the national bank, esti-
mated outside at $250,000. Bank Exam
iner Ever announced that he could not

HATE OF THE sPANIARDs.
Bowen Tells of the Attack on the Consr
late at Barcelona.

late at Barcelona.
Liverpool, May 1.-Herbert w. Bow
en-, the United States consul general at
Barcelona. is a passenger on board the
Cunard line steamer Etruria, sailing
from this port for New York. In con-
versation with a reporter Mr.. Bowen
said: II received a telegraphic COM
munication notifying me to leave Bar
celona from General Woodford, our
mister at Madrid, at 4:30 p. m. on April
s and the telegram was sent from Mad
rid at $3.50 a. m. 1 Immediately noti-
fed the British consul. who came to
the consulate at 6 o'clock, took the keys
and assumed charge of our interests.
When that was done we took down the
shield. The shield was slowed in safe
place, and / notified the authorities OF
what had been done. / also Informed
them that I was going to leave BARGE
Iona at $50 on April 22, for Paris. Be-
tween April 13 and the night Of April
21 eight mobs of over 1000 persons each
made demonstrations before the con-
sulate. OF course, there were threat
ening crowds all the time, in fact, hour
ly. But the police. who were most ac-
tive, together with the civil guard, usu-
ally managed to disperse them.
During the morning OF April 20 a
mob of 1000 or 1000 people suddenly
filed the square in front Of the consul
late, cheering for Spain and uttering
other cries. / was breakfasting at the
hotel on the opposite side of the square.
This mob, having heard of the attack at
Malaga, had come determined to get
the consulate eagle and shield. / man
aged to push my way through the peo-
pie until / got my back to the consult

ed the result. / had hardly taken up
my position when / noticed a man as

highl pushing through the crowd. He
came and stood beside me, did not
speak, but faced the crowd, which con-
tinued to threaten us Fortunately the
mob had no leader. So. for a quarter
of an hour we two and the mob faced
each other. Then the police and SOL
diers arrived, and the mob melted away.

OF chicago. This is my first day in
Barcelona II seemed TO me as II there
would be some trouble for the eagle up
there. and thought I'd take a bit Of II.
The biggest and angriest mob gath
cred during the night Of April q. There
were fully 5000 or 1000 people about the
consulate. including every class, among
them being Barcelona society men.
Hundreds OF them had just come from
the theaters in evening dress, and the
best dressed men were the most active
demonstrators. They came for the
shield, and when they found II gone.
they broke out In the most angry cries.
Eventually the police attacked the mob
and many people were injured. This
was the most threatening mob. and !
had been warned the police could not
be trusted. But they did not fail to do
their duty. The chief of police was al
ways very kind, frequently sending
warnings to me not to go out for an
hour or so. He came every hour dur
ing the last two nights, and escorted
me to the railroad station with large
body of officers and detectives. The
crowd was overawed, so there was nc
demonstration more than cheering for
