THE OHIO BANK WAS WRECKED
ByDynamitc but the Thieves Were
Driven Away Without Being
Able to Secure any Booty.

WAPAKoNETA, Ohio. April g.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this morning,
five men made a desperate. though un-
successful attempt to rob the Sheets
Bank. at Botklns. n small town, near
here. There was $4,000 In the inner
safe. but the robbers did not get It..
The citizens Of the town were startled
by hearing two explosions. An In
vestigatlon revealed five men in an ef-
fort to force the vault of the Sheets
Bank. The robbers had stolen tools
from a blacksmith shop. also team
and carriage from livery stable. When
discovered. the robbers were at work
on the bank vault.
Two OF the men worked In the build
ing and the other three paradcd the
street. The lone watchman in the fire
engine house ha6 been overpowered.
When citizens sought to go into the
streets they were driven back by the
robbers firing on them. A son of the
president OF the bank watched the do
ings from u distance. Soon the entire
village was aroused. and the robbers
deemed It best to get out They piled
into the carriage. and drove out of
town. A posse of twenty-five men fol-
lowed on horseback, and numerous
shots were fired.
The effect of the dynamite explosion
wrecked the bank building. The town
has been wild with excitement all day.
but no trace Of the robbers has been
discovered. A safe expert has been
summoned to open the safe containing
the money! -G ~

The supplies are tn Warehouse No. .,

Chief Commlssary Smith is reported

Rounding up Bandits.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April c.
There are now twenty-five bandits In
the Santiago military prison.. Major
General Wood, the military governor, is
actively suppressing disturbances from
this source, Yesterday four bandits
from San Luis and three from Guanta-
namo were brought in. There is not Il
little excitement over the operations of
the outlaws and rumors are In circula-
ton regarding troubles IN The districts
OF Holgln, but the present efforts of
the military authorities will soon as
sure safety in all parts of the province.
The news OF an early mastering out OF
the volunteer regiments is welcome to
officers and men. The water famine Is
broken and there Is good supply.

Improved Conditions.

Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Z. VIII
cox. chief surgeon Of the department Of
Matanzas, reports under date OF March
s. He had visited thirteen different
towns In the department, and says that
the rations and medical supplies have
been distributed In these places, and
greatly relieved the suffering. The,
condition Of the people has greatly I'M
proved. Those who have sufficiently
recovered from starvation and sickness
have gone TO work. The reconcentra-
dos have gone back to the country
when able. but muny are. obliged to
return for rations-food being yet OBJ
tainable In sufficient quantities to sus-:
tain them. Assistance will be required
for nearly two months longer. Deaths
from starvation have ceased to occur:
the people are cheerful and hopeful!
One sees smiling faces and hears
laughter and singing. The horrible
pictures which were everywhere in ev!
dence in January are for the most part
wanting, although anaemfa and dcbiIf-
ty from malarlal diseases are still
present. One1report gave 450 deaths
during the year and twenty-four births
during the same period.
1t was found that canned tomatoes
were not desirable, and 1t was recon-
meaded that an equivalent Of rice be
added to that already allowed.
Limit OF Safety.
1t appears that the limit of safety for
unaccllmated troops in this province is
May l. After that date paludal fevors.
as well as yellow fever. may be ex-
pected. This Is the consensus Of opin-
ion of medical men throughout the pro-
vince visited. {
Schools We're found In operation and
apparently we'll attended.
Major E. F. Taggart. chief commits
sary Of the department Of Matanzas,
also sends report. He says there
can be no doubt about the wisdom of
having furnished assistance TO the des-
titute. The conditions were such that
II food had not been furnished starva-
tior would have resulted In many cases.
He adds.
MANY OF the best and apparently
disinterested citizens.who are in good
circumstances have asserted that tile is
suing of free rations is . mistake. be-
cause those who are fed Will not work.
I am convinced that no rations are be-
Ing issued to those who can work, and
that continuation OF the. issue ofra-
tions Is so necessary to the health and
strength Of those who cannot work that
without this assistance many Of them
must surely die. On account of the i'm
proved conditions nll over the province.
one third OF those who received ra-
tlons the past month are able to pro-
vide for themselves now."

somc remarkable Disclosures In TO.
gard TO the Evidence Taken In the
nrcyHis Case.
PARIS, April G.-The Figaro to-day
publishes the evidence given by Exam
lining Magistrate Bertulus before the
court OF cessation, In the Dreyfus case.
NJ. Bertulus. 1t appears. gave an Inter-
esttnB account Of his examination OF
the late Lieut.. Col. Henry. who COM
mltted suicide by cutting his throat
with a razor, In August last, in the
military prison Of Monte Valerion, after
confessing to forging certain documents
connected with the affair. The exam
lining magistrate said that when Henry
found himself cornered he confessed
that Lieut.. Col. Dupuy de Clam and
Major Count Esterhazy were the au-
tf1ors of the spurious kilograms aim
Ing to incriminate Lieut.. Col Picquart,
whereupon NJ. Bertulus said to Henry:
"Esterhnzy and Dupuy de Clam are
guilty. Let the latter blow out his
brains this evening, and justice will
take its course against Esterhazy, the
forger. who Is now making charges
against you, which. II they reach the
ears Of your enemies may lead them
to accuse you OF supplying Esterhnzy
with the documents"
Henry, 1t further appears, upon hear
Ing this. collapsed In his chair. speech
less, and then threw his arms around
the magistrate, kissed him on the fore
head and checks, crying. implorlnsly:
Save us. Save us. Esterhazy is o
scoundrel."
The magistrate then pressed him for
further information against Esterha-
zy. but Henry begged him not to insist,
saying:
"The honor of the army before every
thing"
NJ Bertulus also expressed the belief
that the ''veiied lady" who has figured
in the case was no other than Dupuy
de Clam himself.
