AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.
Clark Crandall Loses $500 in
Milton Bank Robbery Also in
Edgerton Bank Failure.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Nov 24.--[Special.l i
Misfortune seems to follow Clark Gran
dali of Cartwright, this state. When the
bank Of Edgerton failed he was a heavy
loser. Yesterday the Bank of Milton was
robbed and $500 in bonds were taken
from a safety deposit box. The bonds
belonged to Mr.. Crandall. They were
not registered.
The burglars who robbed the Bank Of
Milton broke into the vault and took
$500 in cash, 500 in revenue stamps and
$172O in coupon government bonds. The
time lock prevented the cracksmen enter
ing the safe, which contained between
$4,000 and $4,000.
1t was one of the smoothest pieces of
work ever known in the state. The pri-
vate deposit boxes in the vault were
broken into and contents scattered. No
dynamite was used, and nothing was
known of the robbery until the bank
opened up for business.

Almost Given I'm.
Hope is almost abandoned in connection
with four steamships bound from phila-
delphia for Europe, the loss of which would
involve the sacrifice of more than 100 lives
and nearly 100000. The missing crafts
are the steamships Allegheny and May
bach, both tankers, and the British steam
ships Oberon and Picton, grain laden. 1t
is the opinion of many that these vessels
may have struck the ice obstruction and
foundered, with all hands, although the
weather that prevailed after they left this
side was terrific.
Capt. Crosby of the Aurcolc which ar
sivcd at Philadelphia Thursday, says that
on Feb. q, in latitude 45.l3, longitude
1850, he saw q tremendous iceberg, and
between then and noon lie passed twelve
others, varying in size, some almost awash
with the sea breaking heavily over them.
From noon till $50 p. IN. several other very
large ones were passed. 1t was on the
same day that the British ship Westminster,
Captain Yell from London, sighted the ice
obstruction, and on the following day, Feb.
%, in latitude 1925, longitude 47.4O, the
ship was surrounded by ice eXtendingn north
and south as far as the ice could reach.
From 2 a. m. till 8 a. M. about thirty very
high bergs were passed, and a field Of the
ice obstruction 500 feet broad and very

Alleged Gen. Cameo Ia Anxious to
BE Cuba's First President.
A Havana dispatch says: There ap-
pears to be little doubt that the influence
and popularity of Gen. Gomez will be sufi-
cient to compel the Assembly of Cuban rep
rcscntatives to formally ratify his accept
ance from the United States of 3 1000, 900 to
disband the army. a member of the AS
sembly, who is also in Gomez confidence,
makes a statement which, though
extraordinary, he pledges to
be entirely accurate. He says
that the understanding on which Gomez
accepted the $ 3,OoO,OOO was that when this
sum was accepted the United States would
advance a further $4,000, 900 to the Cuban
army. This was a secret clause in the
arrangement made with the Cuban chief
and has not been divulgcd to members of
the assembly save those personally friendly
to Gomez.
One further understanding arrived at
with the American commander was in ref
erencc to GOmcz's own personal ambition.
With the death of Garcia and Macco, the
figure of the commander-in- chief is the
BUZZ sliohS oHe III CUBAN pol
tiles. He has no intention to disclaim
political honors. His ambition is to be-
come the first president of a Cuban re-
public, and his contidant alleges that the
United States has pledged herself to favor
and aid this ambition. The administration
has determined, clearly and decisively, to
get out of Cuba as early as possible, and
with Gomez. thcy believe. matters will SOnn
be adjusted to this end. Gomez is popular
with the country, but not with the AS
sembly or army.
