Made Good-Other Interesting Facts.
Boston, Dec. 24-Bank Examiner d.
G. Wing, who was last week appointed
temporary receiver of the Globe Ma
tional bank, gave out statement to-
night in which he says that in the
course of his regular examination of
the banks affairs September he found
100000 of Globe bank checks outstand-
ing which did not appear upon the
books. President Charles H. Cole ad-
mitted this to be his personal loan.
Feeling that to close the bank at that
time would cause dire results, Mr.. Big
Glow, the only director within reach
Mr.. Cole and Mr.. Wing went to Wash
ington and laid the matter before Comp
troller Dawes. Mr.. Wing then says:
''Mr. Bigelow agreed to personally
guarantee that Coles shortage should
be made good to the bank at once, Cole
having turned over certain securities TO
him and Messrs. Clarke and Coolidge
assisted in guaranteeing Mr.. Bigelow.
The comptroller Of the currency direct
ed that Mr., Cole should resign at once
as president; that the whole matter
should be laid before the directors, and
that should at the proper time report
the facts to the district attorney. At
this time Messrs. Coolidge and Clarke
We're each borrowing not more than
$1,000 900 of the bank, with plenty of Sc
curity and each had about $4,000 cash
on deposit Mr. Bigelow owed not more
than that and had more than enough on
deposit to pay his loan.
"On the following Monday Coolidge
and Clarke gave Cole $S0OO0. Cole add
ed $120,000 of his own money and repaid
100000 of the 100000. The balance,
100000, was repaid in three days by the

advised that the President supports him in

THE REBELS ENCOURAGED

INSTRUCTIONS OF POWERS.
Threatening Apia since Cessation
of HostiIities Was Ordered-Mrs.
Stevenson's Views.

WELLINGTON, ~. e., May 2-Advices
from Samoa indicate that the instructions
received from the powers TO cease HOSTILE
ties make the situation in the islands very
serious, as the rebels hold the main food
supplies and are again near the municipal
ity OF Apia. The correspondent OF Reuter- S
news agency thinks IL evident that the home
authorities have misunderstood the situation
IN Samoa The Germans and rebels are al
ready iubilant. and claim victory over the
British and American forces. The CORE
spondent says that unless the rebels are
made to submit, the difficulties will remain
unsolved. The white people in the outskirts
OF the city are at the mercy of the rebels.
The American vice consurs store at Filifa
was looted last week, while German store
adjoining Ii was left untouched. British and
American residents all strongly condemn
the action of the powers in ordering ces-
sation of hostilities at this stage.

pany of British blue jackets under Captain
Sturdee and Lieutenant Cave. Inspection of
the battle field shows that the defenses
erected by the rebels near the home of the
late Robert Louis Stevenson were strong
and well, planned. The loss sustained by
the rebels, 1t is evident, was much greater
than was at first supposed. The main sec

gagged in the battle of vaillima retreated

to be safe.

The village of San Antonio de los Banos,
about seven miles southwest of this city,
was entered by twelve mounted men, who
were met by the Cuban Colonel Illeras.
Shots were exchanged and the outlaws were
pursued to the hills of Pinar del Rio. La
Discussion, reporting the affair, says the
villagers think the raiders belonged to a
division of the Cuban army. In the opinion
of others the whole thing is regarded as a
plot to stimulate the movement for the ere

Pedro Diaz has accepted the superintend-

TROUBLE FOR DIR. BRIGGS.
Episcopal CIergymen May Prefer Her.
esy Charges Against Him.

NEW YORK, May at is stated that
certain Episcopal clergymen. who are OF
posed to the ordination of DIR. Charles
Briggs. propose to prefer charges OF heresy
against him. which will postpone the ordina-
ton until he shall have cleared himself.
Br Briggs. who is a professor in Union
Theological Seminary. convulsed the Pres
byterian Church few years ago by his
writings, which were alleged TO be unortho-
dox. and an effort was made to expel him
from the church. Subsequently he with
drew from the Presbyterian Church and be-
came an Episcopalian, taking deacons' or
ders. He has not modified his views, how
ever. Bishop Potter is a jealous friend or
DR. Briggs but some of the clergy of the
diocese are intensely hostile to receiving
him into the ministry.

Mrs. Stevenson says: President Mckinley
allowed no firing on Cuban towns unless
they gave active cause of offense. and Com
modore Watson was ordered not 10 attack

Dent keep his humanity for civilized coun-
tries alone?" Mrs. Stevenson declares that

choose between the shells OF the war ships
and taking to the BUSH" Under such con-
