MICHIGAN BANKERS EXPLAIN
No Desire to A~ntaGOnize New York
Theorists.

DETROIT, Aug. 0.-Detroit members OF
the Michigan Bankers Association state
that there is a widespread misrepresentation
among newspaper and financial writers con-
corning the object of the conference of
clearing houses called for Sept. 5 in Cleve-
land. The conference was called by the
Michigan bankers because, as they said,
they were tired of waiting for others to
take the Initiative. The object is not TO
antagonize New York or to use the ma
chinery of the National Bankers Associa-
ton, the conference being called at the same
time and place as a matter of convenience.
President Hayes. of the Preston National
Bank Of Detroit, explaining the scheme.
said:
1T is desired to bring all the clearing
houses together for conference with the
hope that they will amend their constitu-
tons so as TO give the same power to the
respective clearinghouse committees that
the New York and Detroit committees now
have. When the associations in the prin-
TO that OF New York there will be uniform
ity OF charge in each State to banks in that
State, which will permit the organization of
state clearinghouse associations which can
never be established until par points are
abolished. When state clearing houses are
established charges for collections can be
materially reduced and in the end another
reduction can be made by establishing a ma
tional clearing house.

that they were given the opportunity de-

that such objectionable evidence as would
inevitably be given at the trial should be

ject, says: Senior Lanuza, the secretary Of

scandal. He ought to have interfered long
before it became necessary for the military
authorities to intervene in the public in
t%erest, but the fact is that he was overcome
with fear at the mere thought of taking
judicial action against the Reconcentrado.'

HAVANA WATER FAMINE
GEN. LUDLOw's ATTENTION CALLED
TO SERIOUS CONDITIONS.
Editors OF the Suppressed RecOncen-
trado Admit Their Guilt and Ask
Another Chance to BE Good.

HAVANA, Aug. 2O.-E Diario de la
Marina calls the attention of Gen. Ludlow,
the military governor, to the scarcity of
water in Havana, asserting hat it is i'm
possible to get water on the first or second
floors of many houses, and even predicts a
water famine. General Ludlow replies that
a water famine is not to be dreaded so
long as the aqueduct and vento spring
holds out. At present 10 gallons per day
are supplied 10 each inhabitant, a quantity
sufficient for a city of twice the popula-
ton. The real trouble, he points out, is in
the defective pipes and fixtures. which
allow an enormous waste in both private
houses and public buildings.
The Patria says: Cuba has long enough
been ruled on the Spanish centralized plan,
which is an imitation of the French system.
She now needs q system of local govern
ment under which the various municipal
tiles should be allowed to choose their own
officials. The old system Of governing en-
tirely from the capital was a mistake and
IN injustice"
In consequence Of the removal Of the
Eight Infantry Regiment from Havana
and the depletion of the Second Artillery,
owing to discharges, 1t has been impossible
to have public music during the last few
weeks. General Ludlow, thinking a band
essential, asked the mayor, Senior La Coste,
what he thought Of the matter. Senior La
Coste replied that the Cubans, being a
Latin people and having musical souls,
really needed a band to make them happy.
AS a result of this interchange Of opinion
s~ixty-three instruments have been pur-
chased and forty-three musical members Of
the police force will be organized as a
band. The bandsmen will continue to do
police duty, but they will have regular
hours for practice and will receive time al
lowances. Meanwhile, and beginning this
evening, a band composed of boys at the
orphanage will play, and. if satisfactory.
their services will be utilized once a week.
Ell Dia, Of Caibiron, asks: us Cuba in a
condition to be free? Those who are car
ried away by sentiment answer this in the
affirmative. Those who are guided by reason
say no. In our opinion at least three or
four years must pass before the necessary
material reconstruction of the country will
place its people In a position to govern
themselves"
Ell Diario de la Marina says that "Etern-
ity will find Cuba still waiting to be free"
