MAJOR MAGOWN'S SHORTAGE.
Got Away With $4,000 of Rubber
Company Funds.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 1S.-Vice Chancellor
Reed rendered a decision yesterday in
which he holds that Mayor Frank A
Magown. as president of the Trenton
Rubber company, overdrew his accounts
in that concern to the extent of at least cas-;
S150G00 He also decides that Alien
Magown, the ex-mayor's father, and a
director of the company, is civily respon-
sible for $16,990 of the overdrafts and that
William p Hayes, another director, is
responsible to the extent of $780,
Suit was instituted by RECEIVER Burd
with the idea of holding Allen MagoWn
and William P. Hayes responsible for the
ex-mayor's overdrafts, on the ground
that they had been negligent in their
The vice chancellor expressed himself
pretty freely as to Magown's reckless
conduct in using the funds of the COM
Dany for his own personal benefit, and
says that it is clear that Allen Magown
and HAYES were negligent in their deal
ings, but they can only be held respon-
sible to the creditors from the time they
knew the company to be insolvent.

also, that in the pitiable pressure TO
which the Spanish commissioners are
subjected between their large creditors,
who are on the spot watching them,
and the stern attitude of the United
States, the Spaniards may abandon the
struggle and leave the two forces 20
confront each other.
1t will not be decided until tomorrow
morning whether the next joint session
is to occur tomorrow or on Tuesday
The Spaniards, it has been arranged,
will inform the Americans tomorrow
morning whether they need the day to
prepare their next memorandum. If
they want Monday, the meeting will
take place on Tuesday.
Under the rules of procedure adopted
at the conference, it is understood that
the deliberations may not be unex-
pectedly concluded by either SIDE. The
statement is printed here this evening
that the last memorandum from the
Americans is regarded by the Span
iards as a virtual ultirnatum, but as a
matter of fact, the Americans have not
presented an ultimatum. save as their
treatment of the subject in hand may
be unswervable.
1t is only since Wednesday last that
the Spaniards have begun to feel that
the Americans purpose taking over the
Philippines, and that, too, without any
assumption of Spanish indebtedness.
AS they are now convinced of this, it
may be that SPANS next presentment
in conference will be the supreme rally
of her diplomats argumentative and
tactical forces. 1t may even mark the
conclusion of all she has to say, but if
the rules of procedure are followed, the
Americans would still have another
presentation to submit. Ever since
Oct. it has been within the range OF
possibility that at any meeting an open
rupture might occur, and on one or
two occasions it might have been easily
a fact, even before the taking up of
the Philippine question.
The boundaries of the field in which
that question is being worked out are
becoming more apparent, and the angle
of final settlement cannot be far off.
If a treaty is to result here, it may
fairly be expected within three weeks,
although it is not true, as reported from
the United States today, that the
Americans have a time limit for the
conclusion of the conference.
Judge Day is completely recovered.

SORRY LOT OF ATHLETES.
Yale Football Team VIII Not Discuss

New Haven, Conn, Nov 19.-The
Yale football eleven returned from
Princeton tonight. They were a dis
appointed looking lot of men and re-
fused to discuss Saturdays game at
ALL Durston was the sorest man of
the squad, in mind, at least. From
what the substitutes had 10 say, it is
evidently the sense of the squad that
Durston was not blameable for the I'M
fortunate fumble; that he believed the
ball to be down" but that somehow
the Princeton end gained it, and since
Captain Chamberlain followed him
down the field, he could not very well
dispute the play. Neither Captain
Chamberlain nor the coachers, how
ever, would make any statement. Yale
men generally take the defeat in the
right spirit, and say that though the
score against her is a victory for
Princeton, they cannot feel that it
represents the playing of the two
elevens, nor their ability.

from the report Of Lieutenant Colonel
H d. Borup, chief ordnance officer at
Santiago, as to the defenses of San
tiago harbor:
Before the outbreak of hostilities the
port defenses of Santiago consisted of
four antiquated forts or batteries, Of
which one,s st. Catalina, was aban-
doned, and a second, Punta Blanca,
from its position, was useless. OF the
other Two, Moro castle. constituted the
outer line and Estrella the inner one.
The armament of the former consisted
of i've ancient mortars- and Two siege
guns, and the latter of two obsolete
castiron howitZers, all of feeble power.
After war was declared, four bat
teries We're hastily inDrovised, all of
weak profile. Including all forts and
batteries, the number of guns may thus
be stated:
''(Obsolete) Bronze muzzle-loading,
smoothbore guns, 6-inch, 2. Mortars,
1S-inch, 3; 9.5-inch, 2. Misunderstanding
converted rifles, bronze guns, 6; 3-inch,
8; 'cast-iron howitzers, S.5-inch, z.
"(Modern) Steel breechloading rifles,
6; 3-inch, 4; bronze breechloading how
tiers, 6-inch, 2; revolving cannon, l.
inch, 4; rapid-fire, 1-inch, /; raDid-ire,
pinch. l. Total. SO.
"Or q obsolete and u modern pieces,
and Of the latter four only are of COM
paratively high power.
1.-THE exterior line consisted of II OBJ
solete and two modern pieces, the for
mer being furnished by the Spanish
war department, the latter by the navy
department. The bold front put up by
the former seems to have been effect
i've. The real strength, however, lay
in the guns taken from the Reina Mer-
cedes, so that the duel between the fleet
and the land forces was practically
fought by the navy of both powers.
After one Of these guns was disabled
by the carriage being rendered hors du
combat, the outer defense was really
confined to single piece
SHIPS AGAINST BATTERIES.
Following the above, General Flagler
says: 1.-THE war has furnished no CD
portunity for determining by expert
ence the effect of our modern sea-coast
armament against modern battleships
The reports of the experience gained
however, tend to confirm the opinion
that the fire from ships cannot silence
or seriously cripple the armament OF
our modern batteries: that the ships
could not withstand the fire of ou1
modern batteries, and that, therefore
the ships cannot attack the batteries
successfully. Whether these ships can
run by the batteries without too great
risk has not been shown. This will de-
pend on the skill and rapidity with
which the guns are served, provided the
ships are not stopped by the mines"
Considerable attention is devoted to
the progress of work at the various
arsenals and the guns which are being
made. On Sept. 80, 1898, there were 447
sea-coast guns mounted. 1t is esti-
mated that on June 80, 1899, there will
be 800. and on the same date of 1900,
1,1S9.

In the Old days, when women had little

this age Of individualism, will soon be
