American Security Bank in Mexico.
City Of Mexico, Oct. 24.-General
Carlos Ezcta. ex-president OF Salvador,
who is sojourning In this city, is con-
stantiy watched by the Salvadoreans
here. who regard all his movements
with the utmost suspicion. believing
he IL engaged in preparing for another
revolution. General Ezeta has had in
terviews with President Diaz. who re-
coives him cordially, but only on the
footing Of a private citizen, for Mex
leo Is on terms Of cordiality with Sal
vador. In the interviews ex-President
Ezeta speaks in pleasant terms OF his
old enemies In Salvador and has
brought out the fact that when he be-
came dictator after the fall of Presi-
dent Memendez he refused to institute
prosecution against the former Off
Cials. notably against DR.. Zaldiyar, who
had preceded Memcndez in the presi.
dency, and against whom the latter
cherished profound enmity, having
accumulated room full of documents
to base legal charges on. Ezeta, on
taking power, burned these papers
Zaldivar is Salvadorean minister to
this country and naturally has kept
watch on EZeta's movements. E2eia
claims that during his administration
he did not permit the publication of
discriminating articles against his
enemies, and protected the good name
OF Zaldivar. of whom he speaks in the
highest terms. There seems to be no
doubt that Ezeta desires vindication
and that he still has powerful friends
In Salvador. He has made many
friends here. and is apparently not los
ing any time in maturing his plans
The success Of the American Security
hank has been so marked and so rapid
that the institution will soon treble its
effective capital. and 1t is expected that
soon more German capital will be in

.'TI|RYON Upton UNDSNAYEn.
Anxious For Another Chance at
the Americas Cup.
WILL NOT COME OVER NEXT YEAR

But I'm 1901 He Expects to Bring Oven
Another Yacht Designed by MIR. Fife
Very Anxious That the Coiumbis
should Go to Europe.
New York. Oct. 23.-Sir Thomas
Upton spent yesterday on board his
steam yacht Erin. During the great
or portion of the morning he was busy
with his secretaries, but in the after
noon he took a rest. He saw a few
visitors. although hundreds Of small
boats ioated around the big yacht.
Some Of the most venturesome went uk
to the gangway and sent cards on
board. The owner OF the unsuccessful
cup hunter talked freely to a reporter,
and chatted for more than an hour
about his plans for the future.
II shall not challenge for the cup
next year" he said in reply to a
query. You see. the time is all toe
short to design a boat. build her and
have her tuned up to the concert pitch
to race next fall. | shall, however
issue challenge for 1901, and shall
complete the arrangements for It in i
day or two.
"Will Fife design the boat? Mos,
assuredly he will. but in his present
state ! do not care to approach him on
the subject. There will be plenty OF
time for that. however, after the chal-
lenge is issued. My new boat must be
between Is and 20 minutes faster than
the Shamrock, and she must be an i'm
provement on the Columbia, which
means almost miracle, for she is q
marvellous boat"
Sir Thomas commented on the pro-
posed trip of the Columbia abroad
saying.
III she were my boat | should take
her across at once. and you can take
my word for 1t. she would sweep every
thing before her. | sincerely hope she
will cross the Atlantic. II for no other
purpose than to show them over there
what a Yankee boat is like. II the Co.
lumbia races in English waters shall
certainly put the Shamrock against
her.
II am at liberty to say now that the
wild guesses as to what Shamrock cost
were all OF them far out. The cost OF
the boat alone as she is now, without
considering the expense of the crew
or anything else. is about half mil
lion dollars"

! wish 20 give you a few hints on

knows how TO milk properly is more
valuable TO he careful dairymau than

time and pa fence. The milk should be
drawn slowly and steadily. Some cows
have very tender teats, and IF you want
a good disposed COW. be gentle in your

handling. With constant irritation she
will fail in quantity of milk. Asthe nd
