AN AMERICAN VICTORY.
Fortress of Geronimo, the Strongest
Position In Island of Luz
zon, Captured.

Manila, Nov. 26.-The fortress of
the insurgent chief Geronimo, at
Pinauran, which the insurgents boast
ed was impregnable, was taken and
destroyed Thursday afternoon by a
picked force of the Forty-second and
Twenty-seventh infantry and troop
G of the Fourth cavalry, under Col.
Thompson. Geronimo and most of
the rebels escaped. The leader has
long harassed the Twenty-seventh in
fantry. operating in the vicinity OF
San Mateo, Montalban and Novaliches.
He was finally located at Pinauran, 35
miles north of Manila His position
was considered the strongest in Luz
ION. 1t was a stone fortress sur
mounting a steep hill surrounded by
canyons. The Spanish forces lost
heavily in attempting to take it.
Col. Thompson modified 1000 men
at Montalban. The attack was made
upon four sides, the main body under
Maj Carey, of the Forty-second, adj
vancing from the south; Capt. Atkin-
son, of the Twenty-seventh. from the
east; Capt. Casteel, of the Twenty
seventh, from the west. and Capt.
Sloan, of the Twenty-seventh, from
the north. The ascents were steep
and the men climbed them by grasp
ing the shrubbery. 1t was impos-
sible for the eastern column to reach
the summit, but the others arrived
after three or four hours climbing,
under fire from the fortress and the
hillside intrenchments. The enemy's
force, numbering several hundred, fed
before the attackers reached the top.
The Americans destroyed 1000 in
surgent uniforms, scores of buildings
and large quantities of supplies, and
seized barrel full of documents.

PARIS EXPOSITION NOTES.

1t has been generally admitted by
Partisan newspapers that the EXPOSE
tion was too large.
In 1899 the British headed the list OF
attendance. This year the British were
exceeded by both the Germans and
Belgians.
A German brewer in Mexico obtained
six gold medals at the Paris exposi-
tion for six kinds of beer made by
! him.
1t is agreed on all hands that the
foreign participation in the exposition
was perhaps the most notable feature,
the street of the nations receiving
universal praise.
The first universal exposition held in
Paris was attended by s,17o,92O visit
ors; that of 1878 by 1899, All, and that
of 1889 by 25,121.975. The total admis-
sions for 1900 will exceed $4,000 600 or
daily average of about 250,O00 Wis
itors.
An American who visited the Paris
exposition thinks its failure to realize
expectations was due to two things.
1t was not sufficiently localized and
its magnificent distances made people
weary. The other trouble was dis
appointment with what had been an
nounced as some of the biggest fea-
lures, like the telescope that was TO
bring the image of the moon within a
few miles.

COMPTROLLER REPORTS.
Laws Regulating Leaning Of Funds
BY Banks TO Onicers and Direct
ors should BE More Stringent.


Washington. Nov. 26.-The annual re-
port of Charles G. Dawes, COMPTROLLER OF
the currency, for the year ended October
81 1900. has been prepared for transmits
sion to congress. The report starts with
a summary OF the reports made during
the year by the national banks In re-
Spouse to the call of the comptroller.
which shows the aggregate resources OF
the ASH national banks reporting on Sep
TENDER 5, 1900. to be s5.04s, 1SS 499. %. Be
tween the September call of 1899 and 1900
loans and discounts increased SlIoOOs,-

TENDER 5, 1900. were 81, SIS 75s. 64257. and in
dividual deposits were s., COS. 24S, 1913. The
capital stock of national banks reporting
on September was $3.50 299. $50. Between
March II and October 81. 1900, 34S banks
were organized. 24s being OF less than $oo,-
900 capital. The report SAYS
The total increase in the circulation
secured by government bonds of all ma
tional banks In the system since Marcn
H. 1900, has been $S2 454. 80. The total out
standing circulation on October II, 1900.
was 1881, 6l3 26S of which $32. 7s4. 204 is Sc
cured by lawful money and is In process
of retirement. The total bond-secured
circulation on October 81 1900, was s2ss,-
S29. 06f On October 81. 1900. there were
1886 national banks in operation with
combined capital OF $685., 502, 1886. The com
bined resources of the national banks
any time heretofore"
The most important Recommendation
made by the comptroller, and that which
is the chief feature of the report, Is one
for additional restrictions upon loans to
directors and executive officers of banks
The comptroller states that the large per-
centage OF bank failures attributable TO
excessive loans to directors and officers
which amounted to 62 failures, or IL per
cent. OF the total failures Of national
banks, led him to a careful investigation
as to all directors loans now outstanding
in the national banks of the country.
This investigation showed that on June
49, 1900, the date of the comptrollers call
for statement of condition from the ma
tional banks, that OF Is, 709 directors OF ma
tional banks In the country 1854 were d.
rectly or Indirectly indebted to national
banks under their management. the ag-
gregate OF these sums being 500. 2S7,44l-
The comptroller urges the passage OF
the Brosius law TO regulate these condi-
tons. This bill provides that no nation
al bank shall loan to its officers or en-
ployes until the proposition shall have
been submitted in writing to the directors
or executive committee and approved by
majority of the members.
In dealing with the subject of loans the
comptroller says the present need Is
provision which will enable large banks
to loan more nearly the same per cent
OF their total assets which the present
provision allows TO smaller banks.
