PEACE PLANS
Are Agreed Upon by Taft

INSURGENTS WIN.
II Is Announced that The Revolution
ary Leaders Secured Nearly All
that They Desired.

Havana.-Victory for the liberals
or revolutionary party seemed certain
Monday night at the conclusion of
a long conference between a commit
tee of the insurgents, of eight men,
bers, and the American peace COM
missioners. The insurgent committee
announced that there was practically
no difference remaining between
them and Secretaries Taft and Bacon
and that they would receive draft of
the peace plans to-day. These prob
ably would be agreed to at a meeting
to be held at the Presidio, where the
prisoner members of the committee
are confined.
Secretary Taft said he could give no
details of what transpired at the con
ference, for the reason that it was
now necessary to treat with the gov
ernment leaders and that the publ
cation of the peace proposals might
interfere with their prompt accep
tance.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon went to the
palace last night and informed Presi
dent Palma of the outcome of the
negotiations with the liberals. The
absence Of definite statement from
the commissioners makes it impossi
BILE to say whether the plans carry the
designations of the present admins
tration and the congressman elected

New York, Sept. 25.-Under arrest
by New York detectives, Paul o.
Stensland,l former president of the
Milwaukee Avenue state bank. Chi
cago, who stands indicted for heavy
embezzlements from that institution,
arrived in New York last night. He
was taken from the steamer Prinz
Adelbert, on which he came from Mo-
rocco, to which country he had fed
after the wrecking of the bank, and
according to his son, Theodore o.
Stensland, he will plead guilty to sew
eral of the charges brought against
him.
Stensland has made a complete con.
fession to Assistant States Attorney
Harry Olsen, of Chicago, who went to
Tangier to take the former bank of.
fetal into custody and in his confes.
sion he implicated other prominent
Chicago men.
Theodore Stensland, who gave out
an official statement for his father, de.
clared that the latter had made no
signed confession but that he had ad,
mitted committing certain offences
which constitute embezzlement un.
der the Illinois laws. To some of the
indictments for embezzlement his
father would plead guilty, he said, and
in the case of others he would turn
states evidence and implicate all 9th.
ers who should be indicted in connec,
tion with the failure of the bank.
Stensland made the further state
ment, according to the son, that if the
shortage in the bank was over $780,
900 the money in excess of that
amount had been taken by Henry w
Herring, the former cashier of the
bank, who was jointly indicted with
Stensland on charges of stealing ovel

HOW STENSLAND
WAS CAPTURED
Story Of the Pursuit and Apprehension Of the
President of the Wrecked Milwaukee Ave-
nue. State Bank of Chicago.

AS he was riding to the hotel at
midnight after getting the governor Of
the French bank out of bed, a voice
from a Moorish cafe sung out:
'T say, Olson, / think know where
your governor is"
We dismounted as the hotel man
continued:
you left the old man in Glib A
friend of mine just come over on the
night boat says he saw him at the
Grand hotel"
When we left Tangier Sunday after
noon, September 2, for Gibraltar to
run down the Grand hotel clew we left
% Moorish and Arab scouts to guard
all the entrances and exits.
Less than an hour after the olden-
burg, the German steamer bearing
Stensland from the Rock to the Moor
ish coast, reached port our Arab chief
of scouts sent a cable to us at Gibral-
tar announcing the arrival of the boat
and the presence on board of the man
We wanted.
Hired Special Steame
We began negotiations for a special
steamer to bring us back to Tangier.
Finally a small steamer was chartered
and permission obtained from the of.
ficer of the guard to leave port.
At midnight we turned tail on the
Rock and headed across the straits.
1t was four o'clock in the morning
when we rounded Malabat Point and
saw the red light above the gate OF
the city Of Tangier.
The steamer Oldenburg lay half a
mile OFF shore. We hauled alongside
and asked if the passengers had land
ed. 1t was great relief to hear that
they had not, as we feared that If sc
Stensland might have been warned
and started for the interior. This
would not have prevented his capture
but would have delayed it and made
lots of trouble.

Chicago.-The story of the pursuit
and capture of Paul o, Stensland,
president of the wrecked Milwaukee
Avenue State bank. is one Of the
most dramatic in the history of those
all too frequent events. Traced from
this city to Tangiers, Morocco, he was
<apprehended there by Assistant
States Attorney Olsen, who was &C.
-companied by representative of the
Chicago Tribune. Not less interesting
is Stensland's account of the circum-
stances leading to the wrecklng OF
the bank and the despoiling of thou
sands of depositors of the poorer class
of the savings of their lifetime. Told
In detail by the Tribune representative
the story is as follows:
1t was the old story of woman
=scorned that led to the finding of
sStensland's trail. One of his numerous
friends who thought she had been
.shabbily treated put the authorities
In possession of the first hint as to
the fugitive's whereabouts. Her infor-
,mation was indefinite, but investiga-
ition proved it's probable accuracy.
Finally, on August 13, it became
certain that he was in Tangier and
had been for 16 days. The facts were
laid before States Attorney Healy
He was asked II he could send a
man with representative OF the Tri-
,bune to an unknown destination,
where it was expected to find Stems
land or his trail. Mr.. Healy accepted
the proposition and Assistant States
Attorney Harry Olsen was ordered to
meet the representative of the Tribune
in New York on Monday, August 20.
The next day Mr.. Olsen and the Tri-
Ebune man sailed on the liner Kaiser
Wilhelm II.
Paris was reached Monday, August

Proved Emectual.

1t is 900 years since the failure of
a bank in China. On the last occasion
when such an event happened, the
emperor had the failure investigated.
and found it had been due to reckless
conduct on the part of the directors.
He at once issued an edict that, the
next time a bank failed, the heads of
its president and directors were to
be cut off. This edict, which has
never been revoked, has made CHINA s
banking institutions the safest in
the world.
