of instituting libel suits without any real griev-
ance behind them. In the first instance. his
remarks were elected by the collapse of the
Maskelyne suit against the Manchester Guard
ian. The plaintiff Is the well-known magician
of Egyptian Hall. He had arranged to provide
a stand In st. Paul's Churchyard from which
persons could see the procession at the time OF
the Queens Jubilee; and in referring TO this
undertaking., the newspaper said 1t was unfor-
tunate that the architect should be Mr.. Mas
kelyno. who has so often seriously deceived
the public" While counsel for the plaintiff
was opening the case to the jury, Lord Russell
declared that no dofamatory meaning ought to
be attached to the words. The jury conceded
with this view. evidently regarding the Ian
guagc as an effort at pleasantly, and the case
came to an end by tho rendition OF n verdict
for the defendants. who did not ask for costs
and said they had no Idea of imputlng anything
dishonorable to Mr.. Maskelyne. In reference
to Jubilee stands. we may add that the bank

Banker Cross Admits That He Alone
Wreck I'd His Bank.

Empora, Kan, Nov. 23.-Since the
sensational failure Of the First Ma
tional bank, which was followed by the
suicide of Charles S. Cross, president
of the bank and owner of the Sunny
side stock farm. there have been ru-
mors Of a written confession left be-
hind by the suicide. The letter was
made public last night by. William
Martindale, vice president Of the bank.
The letter follows:
Il desire to state that the mis-
fortunes OF myself and the bank have
hnen caused through my faults and
errors. I inherited large debt. which
] endeavored to meet by going into
other schemes, which have all been
practical failures and only got me
deeper into the mlre. AS to the bank
matters l desire to say that l have
carefully laid plans to deceive both
the board Of directors, the cashier and
employees. Mr.. Martndale will now
learn for the first time how | have
carefully deceived him. principally by
way Of substituted paper of which he
has no knowledge.
"The reports and letters written the
comptroller have been by me mis-
represented to the board. they having
signed on the last page and I having
sent other letters than the ones read
TO tham. changing every one but the
last page. / have had hard luck

pleasant feature being that Of my pres
ent wife, who has been good and
true woman. Mr.. Davis, our cashier.
has never made an improper entry on
the books, and knows nothing OF this
whole miserable business. Death I do
not fear; it is preferable to the agony
of the past year. ] know of nothing
further to add as to Mr.. Martindalc.
This is "A terrible thing for him. Ile
has trusted Tc without reserve. l
have given him a bill Of sale of all

THE MARIA TERESA WRECK.
An Intlmation That the Crew Wished
the Vessel to sink.

New York, Nov. 23-The steamer
AntilIa Is at present In this port. Her
second officer Edward Webber. said
today that when the steamer was at
Cat Island the Infanta Maria Teresa
was lying in about 15 feet of water and
the surf was breaking over her. She
was lying easily. and not on the rocks.
but with her nose in the sand,
Had the surf not been 50 high I
believe that we could have pulled her
off," said Mr.. Webber. Il questioned
the natives and learned from them
that the Maria Teresa first appeared
in the ofing about 3 O'Clock in the
morning the Thursday after she was
abandoned She rode in gracefully, and
had she been brought in under skllful
guidance she could not have come
ashore at better place. She went on
the shore at II o'clock the same morn
ing in which she was sighted.
1T is my opinion, as well as the
opinion of the others on Cat Island,
that for some reason an attempt was
made by these on the Maria Teresa to
have her sink before she had driftei
far in the storm. All the square port
holes above the water line We're left
open. but in spite Of this there was

crew when they left her were anxious
that that might be the last of her

iShGd From the WOrld.'
Madrid, Nov. 23.-The proposals of
the United States peace commissions
ers have been received here without
any public sensation. The general feel
ing is in favor of speedy ending OF
the negotiations.
The newspapers lament the 'ungen-
erosity" of the United States in offering
such 4 small indemnity They think
that Japan or some of the European
pCWcrs would have paid Il higher price.
There are those who contend it would
be better to decline indemnity alto
getl'or, because the government could
then decline responsibility for the Phil
ippine debt.
There is much irritation at the
apathy Of Europe. The impartial says:
"President McKii ley now boasts of
having written the protocol in order
to nlislead Spain. This is adding in
sult to injury. Yet Europe looks on
undisturbed. All ideas Of Justice have
vanished from the world"
