events.
"El Correo" says the government is
calm in the consciousness of having
done It's duty, and Is satisfied. The for
eign press has recognized this, and also
the firmness with which Spain is re-
solved to defend her national right and
honor. 1t adds:
God knows II matters are becoming
worse, which is possible, the provoca-

II onerous resolutions are proposed to

BALLOONS In WAR.
Distant Ships Could be Sighted and Land
Movements Of Troops Noted.

Secretary Alger had with him In
conference for some time the other day
Gen. A. w. Greedy. chief signal officer
of the army. Gen. Greedy has urged
upon the secretary the importance Of
an allotment Of money for the purpose
of connecting the various parts of the
fortifications at port cities by means OF
electrical communications and In res
ponse to his representations on this
subject work in that direction Is about
to begin in New York harbor.
Another matter which Gen. Greedy
thinks of great Importance to the army
in case of hostilities is the employment
OF balloons for observation purposes.
He has asked repeatedly for an appro-
priation from congress for experiments
In this line, but thus far his efforts to
obtain money have been unsuccessful.
He hopes that some money may be
soon put at his command for expert
menting with balloons. as he believes
they would be invaluable for many
purposes In time of war. For instance
he says while floating in the air off the
coast around any OF the seaport cities
they could observe the presence Of
ships OF the enemy's fleet at great dist
ance off shore, and by means of the
cable attached to them and connecting
with telegraphic instruments below
could disseminate information OF the
fact while the ships were yet a great
distance off. Balloons, moreover. he
thinks. would be Of great value to the
military branch Of the service.
Should an army Of occupation be sent
to Cuba the balloons would be OF use. IL

CASHIER SUICIDES.
Peoples Bank Of Philadelphia Closes It's
Doors-Private Loans


The sudden death last week of John
s. Hopkins, cashier Of the Peoples
bank, of Philadelphia, and the assign
ment made Thursday night by the
Guarantors Finance Company, were
followed by disclosures which showed
an important connection between the
two events.
The coroner's investigation developed
the fact hitherto concealed by the
family, that Hopkins had committed
suicide by shooting himself, and an ex-
animation of the affairs of the Peoples
bank by its officers resulted in the
revelation that Hopkins had, during
the past two years. loaned the banks
funds In large amounts to Richard Il.
Loper, general manager of the Guaran-
tors Finance Company.
These loans, which remain unpaid,
and aggregate, II Is said, over $500. 600,
were made wholly without the knowl-
edge of the officers and directors of the
bank. The securities given by Loper
as collateral for the loans were found,
according to the statement of one Of
the banks officials, to have very little
value. In consequence of these rela-
tions the bank closed its doors.
The state insurance commissioner on
Wednesday asked the court to appoint
a receiver for the Guarantors Finance
Company, which did an insurance
business, and II is believed that Hop
kins, on learning that the company
could not make good its Indebtedness
to the bank, and knowing that expos
ure would follow on investigation OF
the Guarantors affairs, concluded to
end his troubles by taking his life.
There will be no receivership for the
Peoples bank. and depositors and Gre
ditors will receive dollar for dollar.
Cashier Hopkins left letter In which
he blames Loper, of the Guarantors
Company for his act.

CAPITOL SITE COMMISSION.
The Board Filled by the Appointment
 of I. N Bell.

The reorganization of the capitol site commission was completed yester- day by the appointment of l. N Bell to the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of Attorney General Frazier. A meeting was held at once, with MT. Bell and H. B. St. Claire present. The commission was organized by making MT. Bell president, and Mr. St. Claire secretary. The only other business transacted was the beginning of the preparation of notice of the sale of capitol building bonds. The notice will be completed at a meeting today and will be sent to The Arizona Re. publican. the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Tribune for thirty days publication. W. s. Adams of Je- rome, the other member, may be pres ent at today's meeting.
 The appointment of Mr. Bell was a surprise even to himself It was made for the reason that he is an ex- perienced and competent builder whose qualifications will be of value to the commission during the con- struction of the building. MT Bell was foreman of the work on the Hotel Adams and at that time earned the regard of all classes of workmen in Phoenix.

l summit, and his letter is not calculate, to encourage other people to follow i him. He has been on the point of l turning back, but now that he has
 gone SO far he has decided to go on
 and see the rest of the misery. He
 says that a conception of the things to be contended with can be obtained
 only on the ground. Within three
 days four men were shot and killed, 1 the killings resulting from quarrels along the crowded trail. Many are dying of pneumonia, the weather is i bitterly cold and the snow ranges in depth from five to eighty feet. He says that within a few months 53,000 people landed at Dyea, but all of them did not go in.
 Frank Pierce was at Bellemont two weeks ago. Bellemont Is not much of town and it's fame rests on only two circumstances. One is that it is the seat of the pickling plant of the Santa Fe Pacific, and the other is that it is the present headquarters in Arizona for smallpox. There were few iso- lated cases of smallpox among Mexi- cans in and about Bellemont when MT. Pierce arrived there, but nobody was alarmed. In the absence of any other place to spend the night he slept on the f1oor of the bunk house. About daylight a doctor was called to see one of the men. He quickly said it was smallpox and ordered him dragged out. MT. Pierce overheard the con- versation and though it wasn't time to get up he arose and went outside. Somebody asked him if he wasn't go- ing to stay for breakfast. No, he wasn't hungry. He kept on walking along the track toward Flagstaff.
 You must be in hurry" said an- other man. "Oh, mo-" replied MT. Pierce, 'but I feel the need of little exercise. I'll just walk to Flagstaff and get up an appetite for breakfast. Four miles out he turned upon train coming along behind him. His nat uraily forid countenance was iDtensi- fled by violent exercise and the en- gineer mistook it for a danger signal and applied the air. MT. Pierce got on and rode into Flagstaff. He said he was not afraid of the smallpox, but he did not want to be included in a quarantine which was likely to be es- tablished at any moment.
