SO a Dispatch to Madrid Declares
$4,000 Soldiers Perish in Cuba

Madrid, Jan. 26.-An official dispatch
from the Sulu islands, of the Philip
pine group, declares that all is well
there and that the Spanish occupation
continues. Dispatches received by the
newspapers here assert that the insur-
rection Of the Filipinos is spreading
considerably. A native regiment
which was disbanded by the Spanish,
it is alleged, has enlisted as body in
the service of Aguinaldo. According
to figures published here $4,000 Span
:sh soldiers persisted, chiefly from sick
ness, during the last campaign IN

MEXICAN TREATY EXPIRES.
Fugitiyes From Justice Profit by the
Lapse.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Mexican
extradition treaty expired at midnight
Tuesday night. It's lapse finds small
number of fugitives from just4ce in
either country to profit from the act.
Progress is being made on the new
treaty, though it is no easy task to
reconcile the radical difference OF opin-
ion between the Mexican government
and our own definition of political and
revolutionary crimes which may not
be subject to extradition.

A PICTURE FRAUD.

Although canvas-j obbers, on the
whole lead unobtrusive lives, they oc-
casionally become the depositaries of
some strange secrets. For there y are
art-dealers and art dealers, and all of
that ilk are not the paragons of per-
lection which a trusting public suppose
them to be. 1t Is no secret, indeed, that
some of these gentlemen have seen the
inside of Black Maria, and have known
what 1t is to live In compulsory rerire-
ment for months together at the ma
tons expense. The artists who work
for them are well aware of these facts
: nay, occasionally become partakers in
their evil deeds, though in a purblind
fashion, and without criminalty of in
tent. Here Is case in point An Eng
lish peer (whose name for obvious rea-
sons, is withheld) had in his possession
very fine Rubens, painted on panel
which he took to an art-dealer's to be
restored. He had heard of the tricks
played upon the owners of valuable
paintings by INSCRIPTIONS restorers,
and particularly of their artfulness in
taking up what are known as change
lings' q. e., ekilful copies of the origi-
mails, which are foisted upon the un-
Suspecting owners in lieu of their own
works.; so, to render the preparation
of such fraud impossible, the noble-
man affixed number of seals to the
back Of the panel before sending it
away.
On the very day that the dealer re-
ceived the picture he handed 1t over
not to restorer, but--to canvas job
Der. whom he kept on the premlses-a
clever, boozy fellow, and one Of the best
copyists in the country. Can you let
me have a perfect copy of this in five
weeks from to-day? asked the dealer.
He was a stopped, old-fashioned little
man, who affected the costume of a
bygone generation. The artist, who had
a brierwood pipe between his teeth, an
swered off-handedly, For how much?"
Twenty five pounds" NO; /
couldn't" "Guineas, them" Nor
guinear." For how much could you
do it?" Forty pounds--and cheap at
that" The dealer hesltated. You shall
have the job" he then said. Within
the artist was rioting on the proceeds of
his labor. In another week the noble
man was showing what he called his
renovated Rubens" to friend, and
expatiating with enthusiasm on the
skill with which the restorer had done
his work Not seal was broken" he
added; for his friend had been present
when the precautionary measures were
taken.
The following summer a wealthy
on visit to this country,
spent week at the noblemans man
sion. "Ah, said he, as he was being
shown through the picture-gallery, Il
see you have copy of my Rubens.
Fine copy, too" Pardon me-not a
copy" returned his lordship with smil-
ing courtesy. THE picture has been

the floor of the exchange and about
every post all day long. The changes
in prices between sales ran up be-
tween one, two and even three points
whole on the down grade After the
close of the exchange there was meet
ing of the clearing house committee to
concert further measures for safety and
relief. An issue of clearing house GER
tificates was discussed, but the bank
presidents present decided that it would
not be advisable for the present. A
meeting of the clearing house was call
ed for II o'clock tomorrow with a view
to being prepared for action in case of
further necessity. The decentralization
in stocks affected the bond market more
or less, but losses We're largely confined
to the lower grade issues, which have
been subject to speculation.
The following statement was given
out this evening" THE special COM
mittee consisting Of Messrs. Gould, Bid
well, Maher, Brainard and Armstrong
appointed by the board of directors of
the Produce Exchange company to look
after it's assets and affairs have exam

as the limited time at it's disposal has

sured that every depositor of the COM
pany will be paid in full, and that

Superintendent Kilburn of the state
bank department issued the, following
statement after the close Of business
to-day: "a special examination of the
Produce Exchange company was made
by the banking department as of the
seventh day Of December. This exam
ination was made because of rumors in
regard to the company, in circulation in
Wall street. 1t was completed on the
9th and I had an interview with the
president, Mr.. Beall, and the vice pres
ident, Mr.. Scudder, on that day with
reference to the companys condition I
told them that they were in a precari-
GUS condition, and that immediate steps
should be taken to fortify themselves
against large Withdrawals, which / be-
lieved would result on account Of the
rumors about the company. | criticised
the so-called syndicate loans very Sc
verely and pointed out that they had
not sufficient quick assets with which
to meet the demand which would prob
ably be made. I learned last night that
Mr. Beall did not communicate my sug-
gestions to his board Of directors and
except one or two who had learned
something from other sources as to the
condition of the company, none of the
directors were informed of it's true con-
dition until Saturday afternoon or yes

in the possession of my family for two
centuries The American was startled.
Strange he said; my Rubens is un-
doubtedly old, too, for I was careful to
get an experts opinion before purchas-
ing. Besides, I have the pedigree.

repeated his lordship. 1T was he who

Facts were leaking out. Seems pretty

the matter for a few moments, he add
ed: Guess we shall have to- find out,
first of all, which of us has got the

Had sealed the back Of his picture, and
that the seals were unbroken when the
picture was returned to him. The
American did not give such weight to
this fact as his friend had expected.
He remembered the very difinlte pro-
nouncement Of the expert on whose
judgment he placed great reliance.
Then an idea occurred to him. Your
Rubens is a panel painting. my Lord?"
he said interrogatively. Certainly"

"a fairly thick one, l should say.

Told by Witness

His Version Of the Killing of Chadwick
Told by Witness.
Middletown, Dec 1S.-The trial of
Joseph A. Hough for the murder of
Harry Chadwick was resumed in the
superior court here this morning.
Adm Smith, son of j. Tyler Smith
of Chester, at whose home Hough lived
at the time Of the murder, testified that
when he asked Hough what he had
done with Chadwick Hough told him
that he went to the ice house for the
purpose of 'squaring'' Chadwick. He
met him i in the road and Chadwick
came at him with a razor. He fell over
Chadwick, and taking hold of his throat
ci1oked him. When he let go he found
that Chadwick was dead. He then
dragged the body to the creek, where
he took boat, and rowing out into the
river, after tieing the dead boys body
to his bicycle, threw it overheard.

ing charged with an aggravated assault
and highway robbery on Patrick Ennis

to the condition of Ennis, who is in the
Meriden hospital and unable to appear
in court the case was continued for
two weeks and the prisoner placed I'M
der $1,000 bonds which was not obtain
able, and Russell was taken to New
Haven jail to await trial. The case Is
serious one, and Ennis condition
when found by John Backes on Cook

Boston. Dec. 1S.-Confdence in finan-
cial circles in this city was apparently
restored this morning by the united ef-
forts during Sunday of bankers and
brokers', only to be again shaken by the
failures in New York, so that tonight,
while the entire situation is not partic-
ularly alarming, it is still grave enough
to cause considerable apprehension. The
local stock market quickly followed
New York in the stock decline but the
slump did not bring with it any failures
among local brokers-that is, none mad
been announced up to the close of the
stock exchange. To be sure, copper
stocks, the decline Of which is now ac-
knOWledged to have been the primary
cause of much of the trouble in this
city, through heavy speculation, expert
enced a further contraction, and there
is some apprehension tonight as to the
outcome tomorrow.
The offer of the Clearing House asso-
citation to assist any solvent bank in
temporary straits probably did much to
ease matters here to-day, and coupled
with 1t came the report of satisfac-
tory showing on the part of both of the
two banks in difficuty-the Globe and
the Broadway--and also from the as
signee of ]. p. Squire & Co., the failed
pork packers.
AS for the Broadway bank, 1t was
confidently asserted that the doors of
the institution would be swung open
within three or four days, and that New
York parties representing many millions
had looked over the affairs of the bank
and had found it much better off than
they had expected
Regarding the affairs of Squire & Co.,
Henry A. Wyman, the expert account
ant to the assignee, stated tonight that
the business was going on as usual,
barring some curtailment in few de-
partments Not a single attachment of
any sort has been filed against the COM
pany, which shows the attitude of the
creditors, while, on the other hand, nu
merous offers of assistance have been
received from the west, and hogs are
being received daily with only the con-
dition that the accounting be strictly
kept. Mr.. Wyman does not anticipate
any additional failures; in fact. Batch
elder & Co., who assigned soon after the
Squires have been making money.

THE MOOSE.

All wild animals are deceptive as to
weight They are thin and slab-sided,
and never weigh as much as domestic
animals of the same apparent size.
Wherefore I disbelfeve most strongly
In the weight credited to some moose;
though I think 1t possible that moose
especially in the Cooks Inlet country
of Alaska. may reach 1000 pounds live
weight. The ordinary Gigantic" bull,
with a 44-inch head. does not exceed 800
pounds. Moose and fish always grow
after death, In fact have known dead
moose to put on so pounds year regu-
larly until his slayer also took the Styx
canoe-route. Moreover last winter I
found that a certain gray timber wolf
slain in the Manitou region Of western
ontario, grew just one foot for every
score of miles journeyed from the
place of his undoing; eventually, he will
be worthy to rank beside the 14-foot
tigers of the retired Anglo-Indian.
The bull moose is at his best when six
or seven years old but there can be
little doubt he occasionally lives to
twice that age He has no foes to dread
in the northern woods, and must fire.
quently live out the full span of moose
life. The cow, according to my obser-
walton. always produces two young at
a birth, though she Is said to produce
but one In the spring Of her second
year. The youngsters are born in the
latter days of April, or early In May,
