BANK WANTS ITS MONEY.
Hudson County Nationals Suit
Against Cornelius Hoffman. Z

Especial to THE Jersey City News."]
TRENTON, March IL, 1s9S.[The Hudson
County National Sank of Jersey City has
filed in the Court of Chancery a bill of
complaint against Cornelius s. Hoffman
asking that Hoffman may be compelled
to disclose his possessions.
The bank in December last obtained a
judgment against Hoffman for ss14.el in
the Hudson Circuit Court. Hoffman is
the owner OF ssventy-eight shares of
stock of the Bergen Coal Company in
Jersey City, but Sheriff Heller made a
return to the effect that he could not
find the c~ompany's book or any other
property on which to levy.
The bill sets out that on December G..
1897, Hoffman recovered a Judgment in
the New Jersey Supreme Court against
the Bergen Coal Company for 50. 731. Is.
Later the Bergen Coal Company applied
to the Chancery Court for certain sur
plus money. amounting to 1914, arising out
of a cause in which William H. vermilye
was complainant and the Bergen Coal
Company and Others defendants. In the
application of the Bergen Coal Company
for such surplus moneys Hoffman by
his assent in writing waived all his right
to said money under tine Judgment re-
covered by him against the company.
BY this action on Hoffman's part. the
bill declares. he attempted to prevent the
Hudson County Bank from obtaining an
amount legally due it. Hoffman. the com
plainant continues, has other moneys and
rights which he has concealed for the
purpose of delaying and defrauding his
creditors.
In response to applications by the bank.
Hoffman has refused to settle the amount
due. and the bill says the bank fears that
unless restrained by an order of the Cham
Gerry Court. Hoffman will cancel or assign
the judgment recovered by him against
the Bergen Coal Company.

ENEMY NOT Contemplate
Dewey COmplimented the Spanish Ad-
mfal for His Brave Defense.
Spain May Not Yet Yield Until an Army Of
Invasion Lands Upon Her
Home Coast.

The tendency of some news
papers to underestimate Spain as
a military enemy is unwise. We
are not making all this fuss over
whipping non-resistant cripple.
SPANS navy is of considerable
force and her ships, if coaled and
supplied with ammunition, can
put up a stiff fight. That her
sailors can be depended on for
desperate courage was proved at
Manila. Dewey's victory was
over men, not towards. 1t de
tracts from his deserved credit
and the glory of our arms to for.
get the brave fellows on the
Spanish decks who fought to the
last and went down with their
ships. Dewey himself recogniz.
ed their fighting merit when he
sent word to the Spanish admiral,
Montijo, that he hoped to meet
him some day as a brother soldier
and compliment him IN person for
his brave defense of his fleet and
flag.
Encouragement of an enemy is
not found among the men who
fight. Ii is a civilian yapary, and
is a special form of expression
adopted by the ink-valiant takers
OF the yellow press.
Circumstances and situations
make this war one of the most
formidable military undertakings
since Napoleon's march to Mos
COW. We can easily. strip Spain
of her colonial possessions. They
are lusterless jewels in her crown.
But when that is done she will
not make peace. An insolvent
nation with the desperation of her
people for capital makes a formida-
blefghtagainst the invader, andthat
we must end the war by invading
the Spanish peninsula is among
the high probabilities.
Occupation of the Philippines,
Carolines, Ladrones, Cuba and
Porto Rico, and probably the Ca
nariss, will call for an army Of
10000 men. They will have
fought their way to possession OF
these colonies. They will be
seasoned soldiers, ready to
be massed into an army
of invasion to enter Spain and
treat the world to the novel sensa-
ton of invasion of the oldest king
dom in Europe by force from
the New World. The places of
these trained veterans in garrison
in the colonies will be taken by
an equal force of recruits.
In view of all this it will be
seen that our enemy is not con-
temptible in resources or courage,
and our honors will be hard won
glory.
II the situation were reversed
and Spain were the invader her
weakness would be apparent. But
we are the invaders and the Span
ish are the invaded. The history
of all military invasions is that
the people who are defending
their own soil have the advantage.
Two invading soldiers are required
to match one who is defending
his country.
A little serious reflection will
cure the errors that have been
spread by bumptious boasting by
the takers and will justify the pro
found feeling that spreads among
the people as our volunteers go
forth to battle.-San Francisco

THE CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
A CarefuIly-Prepared Note Sent 30 Spain
and Reply Said to Have
Been Made.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The United
States government has presented,
through Minister Woodford. at Madrid,
a carefully prepared note dealing
with the distressing condition of af-
fairs in Cuba, and making clear
that this government can not
much longer withhold such definite
action as will bring the present strug-
gle and the suffering it is occasioning,
to close. The note was submitted to
the Spanish government the latter part
of last week.
The Spanish government has made
it's reply to the note of the United
States thus submitted by Minister
Woodford. A brief cable dispatch was
received from Minister Woodford Sun
day night, but this is believed not
to have conveyed the Spanish reply, as
it was confined largely to an inquiry.
1t can be stated positively, however,
that the Spanish answer has been made,
and it can not be doubted that it is in
the hands of the authorities here.
Both the note of the United States
and the answer of Spain are marked
by a conservative tone, which, how
ever. does not overcome the dignified
firmness which characterize the repre-
sentations of both governments.

The Testimony Sent In, Too.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-The determi-
nation was reached early in the day to
send in the testimony taken before the
Maine board of inquiry to accompany
the report. Members of the foreign re-
lations committee of the senate made
vigorous protest against the former
programme, saying that it would be a
great deal of n farce to refer to that
committee the findings of the court and
withhold the testimony. The committee
desired the testimony at the earliest
possible moment. 1t was also pointed
out that the Withholding of the testi-
mOny would be construed by some per-
sons to mean that an attempt was be-
ing made to keep from congress and
the people testimony which was re-
garded as sensational. The first plan
adopted, if carried out, of having the
testimony printed before being sent to
congress, would not have delayed to
any great extent its consideration, as
all the documents will have to be
printed before taken up in the com
mittec.

CONDITIONS MORE HOPEFUL.
Spain Said to be Willing to Make Conces-
siOns, But the Danger Point is
Not Yet Passed.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A member
of the cabinet said after the meeting,
Monday, that the conditions were more
hopeful than three days ago. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that Spain is willing to
make important concessions to the
United States, AMI is willing
to go even so far as to
agree to withdraw her troops
from Cuba on conditions which, if not
satisfactory to the government, are
more liberal and conciliatory than any
thing hitherto received, and clearly in
dicate a purpose to avoid war, even if
to attain that end she is compelled
to make sacrifices never before
considered. Notwithstanding these
hopeful signs the negotiations
have not passed the danger point, nor
is it believed that this government will
accept any compromise that does not
involve prompt cessation of hostilities,
even if the question of the future gov
ernment of Cuba be left to future ne
gotiations.
