arms OF those who havei been paid have
been delivered to the alcplde.
Many Of those who hi d no arms de

was refused. The men then assumed a
threatening attitude, and the officer in
command ordered troops to guard the
building and telegsaphed to Governor
General Brooke asking permission to
extend the time of payment, as some of
the Cubans are entirely" destitute and
many Of them without means of return
ing to their homes
A guard was quartered in the town all
night, and the signal office was kep,
open waiting for the governor generals

time. The Cubans bought all the re-
yolvcrs in town, and Cuban officers hay.

the men are not paid, as they were only
purchased as means of obtaining tn
paymaster's recognition.

For the past few years it has been IL
common occurrence to read of a newly
discovered embezzlement in some New
Hampshire Bank. 1t has come to such
a pass that this crime is almost as con-
tageous amongst bank officials as cor
ruption is amongst politicians in Yer
mont. The people of New Hampshire
have awakened to the fact that there
must be change in their bank regula-
tons. Indications seem to say that such
4 change is extremely necessary.
