AAgAsHINGTON. ~ &. May 20 -
" There has been startling deVsl-
opment I'm the aiairs of the
First National Bank Of Hawaii at Hoo
nolulu. II has leaked out here that a
new election for directors of the insu-
tuition has been ordered by the Office OF
the Comptroller of the Currency
According to the information avail
able, under date of May IL President
Brown OF the bank was directed TO inn
medlately call meeting OF the stock
holders for the purpose OF electing di-
rectors. II IL known that the Office Of
the Solicitor for the Treasury has had
under consideration several staterr1an t.
concerning the last annual meeting OF
the bank. and that a decision was sent
to the Comptroller to the general ef-
feet that the meeting OF January IL
was not properly held.
The instructions OF Deputy and Act
ing Comptroller w. r. Ridgley we're
mandatory upon the officers OF the
bank TO proceed without delay to call
the meeting of stockholders. as under
rulings of the courts OF Hawaii the
ground was cut from under the feet OF
the president of the bank In the mat
ter of his rulings as to the majority
of the stock.
1t is understood further that Bank
Examiner knight OF san Francisco has
been directed to visit Honolulu and see
that the instructions Of the Comptroller
of the Currency are carried out. Rep
resentatives of the Seligmans of New
York have been in close consultation
with the Comptroller recently and Il Is
understood strong influence has been
brought TO bear.
President Cecil Brown was asked by
reporter for The Advertiser yester-
day If he had received any informa-
ton from the office of the Comptroller
of the Currency, in line with the above.
He said alphabetically that he had not
had any instructions; that he didn't
know anything about It,"

HOWARD GIVEN
A NEW TRIAL

!, Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 18.-James
Howard of Clay county, convicted. OF
the murder of William Goebel, was
awarded new trial by the Kentucky
court of appeals yesterday. The court
was divided on political lines in the
reversal of the lower court, the four
republican judges voting for it and the
three democratic judges against It.
Judge Guffy, the retiring chief Justice
did not agree with the Judgment OF re-
versal in hut one particular, though
voting for it. This particular, which
is the chief ground for reversal, is the
failure of the trial judge in the court
below to instruct the jury that How
ard could not be convicted upon evil
dente of what the others did, but must
be convicted, if at all, only upon proof
of his own acts and conduct which
must be proven beyond reasonable.

venezuela can put 100000 men in
the field, and even the foreigners
there are liable to military service. A

military schools of France and Ger
many. The Venezuelans are armed
with martini and remington rifles and
have a few maxim and krupp guns.
Caracas is almost impregnable owing
to the fact that it is situated on the
other side Of a mountain range which
is impossible except by steep mule
paths and where twenty men could
stop a whole regiment. There is a
railroad from La Guaira to Caracas,
but the destruction of a single bridge
would render the line useless. If, by
a miracle, Caracas were taken, the
Venezuelans would wage a guerrilla
warfare as they did against SPAIN
