WAS TOO SPEEDY.
A Market Firms Collector Used
His Employers Money.

Ray w. Putney is wanted on a charge
of misdemeanor embezzlement, the re-
suit of complaint sworn to by Schmid
e. Parker, proprietors of a meat mar
ket Putney is not here having left
the city to avoid, if possible, the con-
sequences of his delinquency.
Putney was collector for the firm,
and the latter allege that he has held
out various small sums collected from
their customers The firm a few days
since received a letter from Putney
stating that he had secured employ
ment with an interior lumber company,
and would pay up what he owed as
soon as he could earn it.
He admitted-so it is said-his pee
ulations, but said he got in with
crowd of high geared associates, and
could not resist the temptation to use
money that was not his own.

In CUBA
We Assume
Control
ON DECEMBER /
Spanish Authorities /.
Havana Thus Notified.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Spanish
authorities in Havana have been no
titled by the American commissioners
that the United States will assume en-
tire control, military and governmental.
of Cuba, December 1.
This order was not intended to work
hardship to the Spanish troops or gov
ernment, but it was thought best to
fix definite time to end Spanish rule
and to begin operations under the
United States,
It is probable that United States
j troops will go to Cuba before the time
mentioned. BY December l 1t is ex-
pected to have troops so stationed that
there will be no need of Spanish troops
to preserve order. The proclamations
that have been issued by the president
establishing custom rates and defining
the manner in which Cuban territory
shall be governed, will prevail
On Oct. 18th Maj. Gen. Brooke will
assume absolute command of Porto Ri
co. 1t is possible that all the Spanish
troops will not have left Porto Rico at
the time; if so, they will be quartered
in barracks until they can be taken
away.
The United States will not ship the
remaining troops to Spain at its own
expense. That was no part of the pro
tocol. The custom house, the money
received from customs and the govern
ment of the island will pass completely
from Spanish control on the date set.
The present custom regulations under
the presidents proclamation will pre-

velopments Of the war with Spain close
ly When asked what he thought Of
the justice or injustice of the charges
laid at the feet Of the government by
the press and public, General Forsyth
replied: 'It Is true there have been
errors, but it is injustice to seek to
abuse the government on that ground.
In the preparation for such a conflict
as we have just passed through, 1t is
impossible to avoid circumstances
which must result in sickness and
death in the ranks. All things consid-
cred, however, do not think that such
cases in the war with Spain were pro-
portionately as numerous as in the civ
IL war. In my own regiment during
the civil war numbers died Of sickness
contracted in the service. OF course 1t
is hard to think of ones relatives and
friends dying of sickness after eseap-
ing with their lives in battle, but to
charge this to neglect on the part of
the government is wrong. During al
the years that / have been in the SER
vice of the government 1 have never
known case where anything that
money could buy was refused the sick
or wounded in the army On the con-
trary, in such cases the government
has acted with all possible speed and
money has been spent like water"

Between the Two Admirals Full Credit of
Victory in Report is Given to samp-
son, Because Battle Was Fought
Under His Orders---Each Cap
tain Knew Exactly
What To Do.

New York, Oct. 11.-Although the
American fleet in the battle Of SANTA
go on July 8 obeyed the general orders
Of Rear Admiral Sampson, given in
advance to meet just such an emergen-
ey, it was essentially a captains
fight" This is in substance the report
OF the naval board which has been in
vestigating with a view to determin-
ing who should be given the credit for
the victory, Rear Admiral Sampson or
Rear Admiral schley.
1T was a captains fight" says the
report. Rear Admiral Sampson was
not present, and the two orders sig
nailed by Schley, CLOSE In and "en-
gage the enemy" did no good, and were
unnecessary, for the ships had already
closed in and were engaging the ene-
my when the orders We're run up.
AS between the two admirals the full
credit Of the victory is given to Rear
Admiral Sampson because ne was com
manding officer and the battle was
fought under his plans.
The full text of the report must come
from Washington, but many interesting
| points were obtained from the navy
yard today after the board which has
been in session on the Brooklyn, final
ly adjourned.
The board finds that each ship in the
fleet knew exactly wnat 70 do should
Cervera come out. and did 1t when he
actually came out. Each captain fought
his ship on plans prepared and orders
given by Sampson. Even had Schley
directed the general movement of the
fleet in the battle, which 1t was unne-
cessary for him to do, that would have
been because of preparation made by
Sampson and within his general orders.
The board proceeded along those well
defined lincs in making the inquiry,
THE relative positions of the Amer
lean ships when Cervera came out and
throughout the battle.
2-The course of the Brooklyn inn
mediately after the alarm.
S@The distance of the New York
from the Colon when the Spaniard sur
rendered.
4-The signals made by the Brooklyn
5-The orders issued by Sampson in
preparation for an attempted escape Of
Cervera.
The findings Of the board are sum-
married as follows:
1.-The battle was fought and won
upon plans prepared by Rear Admiral
Sampson.
Amy directing of the movements OF
ships done by Schley during the battle
was inconsiderable. 1t was captains
battle.
3IThe New York had no active part
in the fight.
4-The Brooklyn was not engaged at
close quarters as has been represented
by the first report. On an average,
she was two miles away from the
enemy.
5-The brunt of the fighting was
borne by the Oregon. Texas and Iowa.
6-The New York was about nine
miles from the Colon when that ship
surrendered, and between four or five
miles from the nearest sister ships en-
gagged (from which signal distance is
taken).
THE average range Of the ships
most engaged was about a mile and
half.
s-No American ship at any time
during the battle was within mile of
an unsurrendered Spanish ship.
While charts were made and the

A SMALL PANIC.
Run On a Brockton Bank
Through False Report.

Brockton, Oct. 11.-There was quite
a run on the Brockton Savings Bank
today, a small panic being started by a
false report about the bank planning
to close up.
The report came from Swedish resi-
dent, who misunderstood her letter
carrier. The latter told her that a
Minneapolis bank had been closed,
and she understood 1t the Brockton
Savings Bank She had money there
and warned all her friends. Sums
ranging from $100 to 5000 were drawn
by Individual depositors, but as the
bank is one of the strongest in New
England, they were not affected at all.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
directors was held this afternoon, and
the regular per cent dividend was de-
clared. The bank has assets of over
81, 800 900, and the withdrawal today did
not amount to $35,00O Many who with
drew early in the day came back later
and deposited their money again.
