MONEY FOR OFFICERS.
Munificent Offer of the Cpocker- WOOlwO Orth Bank to Those
 GoinQ to Manila.

The Crocker- Woolworth National Bank will act as paymaster for the commits stoned officers of the First Regiment It will do even more than this; 1t has offer ed to do the same for all other regiments going to Manila. This patriotic offer on the part of the president and board of directors means that the bank will ad- vance about S6000 a month to the officers without charging one cent of interest AS in all probability, since no paymaster accompanies the first troops, the officers will not get their pay for two months and it will take an additional month for their remittances to get there, the offer means that Crocker- w Woolworth National Bank will advance s20, ,000 without inter- est. If 15,0O0 troops are sent to Manila this amount will approach the s20o 900 mark The interest that will be lost by the bank upon such a large advance at tests its patriotism, although the board of directors have generously called it the banks little contribution"
 Under the law the paymaster could make the officers no advance, and as 1t was absolutely necessary Tor some of Tilden undertook to adjust the matter. He had a long conference with the Pay masters Department and the banks di- rectors, and the result was that it was decided by the bank to advance the off, cers their pay, or to pay it monthly, when due, to anyone they may desire upon the receipt Of a negotiable draft. signed by the officer and certified to by the colonel This is not an advance upon or a transfer of the officers pay warrant, as the money is not paid until it is due The officer simply makes out the draft, stating the amount of his pay. and how much he wishes paid each month to the person named in the draft. The banks only security is the officers honor to re- deem his promise.
