The hank statement yesterday was quite
as much d surprise 10 The street and The
general public as that OF the previous
week and in a much less agreeable way.
There had been d general expectation that
The showing Of The banks would not be
good, as il was known that a large amount
OF cash had been sent 10 the interior and
that the subtreasury operations had result
ed in q balance against the banks but
nothing like the heavy decrease IN reserves
had been looked for or even predicted by
the bears. The statement shows in brief
that the banks have now less than the
amount OF reserve required by law, 70 per
cent Of their deposits. Such a condition
mas not been shown before in the worst Of
tighi-money periods this year il is en-
tirely cut Of the question 10 predict with
any certainty what viii be the result Of
the statement on the stock market tOmOr-
row. The law requires that the banks shall
take immediate steps 10 repair their de-
fciency and the logical inference would
be that there would be a heavy calling Of
loans this week and perhaps on that ac-
count q had break in stock market q'1ota-
tions. This is not in the least certain,
however. AS a matter Of fact, there is a
strong disposition TO regard the statement
as deceptive and the result OF manipula-
tion One suggestion is that the big cut in
reserves viii be shown TO have occurred
almost entirely in one bank, the City Bank,
perhaps This would be very good evil
dence thai at the last moment a big
amount Of cash had been drawn out by
some heavy depositor for the purpose Of
making a bad statement II this is the
situation, or in any case. il is quite likely
that the leading financial interests viii de-
eide TO come 10 the rescue and prevent any
break in the market. They could do this
by making heavy deposits with the banks
that are below the legal limit Of reserve or
by buying all stock offered by the people
forced TO sell by the calling Of loans, or in
both ways.

District Title Company has perhaps been
the most noticeable security on the list,
not because OF very large transactions but
because usually il is not uIadei in for
weeks at a time Several hundred sba e
have changed hands on the exchange, and
it is said that the private sales have be
much larger. The explanation of this az
tivity is undoubtedly TO be found in tie

ganize the company on q broader bass
with new charter, in the hope of securing
a larger share OF the business, as stated in
The Times yesterday The price Of the
stock advanced during the week a fun
point, sales yesterday being at IL. The
business of the title companies is much cut
up in this city, and il is recognized by
everyone familiar with the field that re-
adjustment all around would be an excel
lent thing for the stockholders. Whether
{ the District Company plan of reaching out
for other business will prove to be the best
one, or the plan of the Real Estate Title
and the Columbia to combine remains to
be seen.
A large stockholder of one of the com
panies, who is entirely familiar with the
situation, said yesterday: The Real Es-
tate Title Company and the Columbia are
now under 81 800 to 81 600 monthly expense

The week thus ended fairly well, though
not in the brilliant way that many had
hoped for. The net result, however. is
excellent Everywhere there were gains
and in some cases the advances were nOta-
BILE. II was a week in which many things
We're not best suited TO the bulls. The
British met with reverses in South Africa.
The money rates were high nearly all the
week and never low. The statement of
the St. Paul. which many had believed
would be a magnificent one, showed de-
crease in net earnings. At the last the
bank statement was bad. Despite all these
factors there was a steady advance in
prices for the greater part of the week
and in the worst days a total lack of
success on the part of the bears in their
attempts 10 break the market The clear
significance of it all is that the bulls are
on top and intend to make the present
market to suit themselves. They may

English Excursion Steamer Stella
Sinks in the Casquets.
The steamer Stella, with tourists for
the islands of Jersey and Guernsey, struck
on the Casquets, few miles off the
French coast, and sank in eight minutes,
her boilers exploding with a tremendous
report as she went down. There were
lT6 passengers on board, only eighty of
whom are reported saved. Captain Reeks
went down with the ship. The Stella was
crowded with Easter holiday excursion
lists from London and Southampton.
A thick fog prevailed aud the Stella got
out of her course. When the vessel
struck the Casqucts the people on board
became greatly excited. The officers OF
the vessel, aided by few cool heads,
made their way among tn frightened ex
cursicnists and chce threatened
panic. The people ,ere crowded into
small boats as fast al possible, the women
and children taking precedence.
The steamers Lynx and Vera, which
happened to be in the vicinity. rescued
several boat loads OF the shipwrecked
people. All available boats at Guernsey,
the nearest point, went 10 the scene of the
wreck. Despite the efforts OF the ships
officers the incredibly short time in which
the steamer settled caused great eonfu-
sion, and there was not time TO distribute
life preservers TO all the passengers. Some
Of these did not wait for the boats, but
jumped into the water. Several of them
were picked up clinging to pieces OF
wreckage. The rescued passengers are
unanimous in their praise OF the conduct

The startling news from Samoa, cabled
to this country from Auckland. whittier
the intelligence had been sent by the usu-
al mail adyices, indicates that a serious
clash has taken place between the official
representatives of Great Britain AMI the
United States and the native adherents of
Mataafa. The followers of Mataafa, af-
ter having refused to disperse in accord
ance with the demands OF the English and
American officials, attempted TO make a
demonstration against the British and
American consulates. From the fact that
the commanders Of the British and the
American warships. the Porpoise and the
Philadelphia, felt justified in shelling the
natives who engaged in the demonstra-
ton, 1t is 10 be assumed that the provo
cation offered by Mataafa ) followers was
extreme.
According to the Auckland dispatches,
the chiefs supporting King Mataafa hav-
ing refused to abide by the terms of the
tripartite treaty. and continuing to defy
them despite the representations of The

Malolos. the Filipino capital, was cap
tured and destroyed Friday. but Agui-
naldO managed to eude the Americans
aud escaped in safety. After three hours
of desperate fighting the natives, realiz-
ing that further effort was hopeless, set
fire TO the city and fed in disorder. A
large portion of AguiIaldD's army man
aged to break through the lines and the
men scattered in every direction, leaving
guns and swords behind. The American
loss was comparatively small, considering
the severe nature of the combat. Rapid
fire guns had been trained upon the city
and spread CONSERVATION among the ma
tive troops
Macarthur began the attack at O'Clock
in the morning, having the city practically
surrounded by his forces. Line after line
OF intrenchments was stormed, the de-
tenders falling back into the town. At
last the natives found that they could do
no more, so they applied the torch to
buildings in every direction and began the
retreat.
Aguinaldo and his cabinet sought safety
in fight, escaping capture. Filipinos TAX
en- by the Americans say that the native
leader left Malolos Wednesday, and,
with his chief supporters, headed for the
north. Although by this move \ guinaldo
may claim that he saved his capita! frey,

SNOWFALL OUT or SEASON
Precipitation Extends All the WAY

Precipitation Extends All the Way
FROM Senta Fe 10 Detroit.
A snowstorm extending from Santa Fe
to Detroit, accompanied at many points
in its course by high wind, swept up from
the southwest at midnight Wednesday
and continued until dark Thursday even
ing. Reports from points in Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa ani Illinois indicated that the
storm was severe for this time of year.
and in many cases a record breaker In
Chicago the fall was three inches. In
some cities the storm was accompanied by
saeh high wind as TO resemble a blizzard.
and the fall of snow was so great as to ef-
fectually blockade street car traffic for
hours. From Galesburg came the news
that all traffic and business was stopped
by the blizzard. Peoria reported the first
real snowstorm OF the season. GOOD
sleigh riding was reported from Mon
mouth, foot of snow having fallen with
in twelve hours.
Outside of Illinois the greatest storm
seemed TO be in Kansas and Nebraska.
Chillicothe, Mo, reported the worst storm
in many years, with snow foot deep and
the storm still raging. Between Atchi-
son and Omaha a heavy snow fell, drifted
by strong wind. The Missouri Pacific.
expecting blockades, had equipped en-
gines at different points with snow plows.
From six TO twelve inches fell between
Atchison and Grafton, and two feet at
Blue Rapids and Waterville, Kan. Street
car traffic in l4eavenworth was impeded,
Iowa told much the same story as liii-
nois. Muscatine, Burlington and 0tta a
correspondents all told of ''the worst
storm this time of year for many years,
and of impeded street car traffic and rail-
road hloekades and abandoned trains. At
st. Joseph, Mo, the temperature was -
degrees and the storm was so severe that
street cars were unable TO run. But in
st. Louis there was only two @hahdredths
of an inch precipitation. Kansas City
reported thar rain, snow and hail fell sue
cessively. accompanied by strong wind
and falling temperature. In South Bend.
Ind, snow fell to a depth of eleven inches,
and the thermometer dropped fourteen de-
grees in nine hours.
Down in New Orleans. Memphis and
Chattanooga and other Southern cities
the blizzard was transformed into thun-
derstorm, and at New Orleans a precipita-
tion of Ii inches of rain fell in twelve
hours. In Cincinnati. Indianapolis and
Nashville also rain fell.
