DIRECTORS KNEW CONDITION
SAVED SELVES IN PHTLADEL-
 PHIA BANK CRASH.
Sold Stock and Removed Deposits--Re- ceivsr Earle Finds $1,OOO,OoO securi- ties in Real Estate Trust Company fin segars Name-Depositors Ask for Co., Receiver to Represent Them.

Philadelphia, Aug. 31.-The statement of Receiver Earle, of the broken Real Estate Trust company of this city that Frank K. Nipple, the late president of the concern, had stolen securities val ued at $65,O0O, and that the lending of $5,OOO,OO0 to Adolph Segal on insufficient security amounted to as much as theft, created profound sensation through out the city to-day
 The criticism heretofore expressed by depositors of the failure of the direc- tors of the company to discover Hip ple's transactions has increased and many of the larger creditors are angry at what they term the negligence of these men. There is now pending be- fore the local courts an application for the appointment of a co-receiver who shall directly represent the depositors and inform them of the true condition of the company.
 Receiver Earle said he unearthed to- day in the bank securities aggregating about S1, ,0000 900 face value in the name of Adolf segal.
 MT. Earle to-day reiterated his firm belief that the officers of the bank must certainly have had knowledge of Presi- dent Nipples transactions with Segal and others.
 MT. Earle said this afternoon that he was Investigating reports against the directors and officers of the trust oom- pany.
 "I am Investigating, he said, "the charge that some of the directors, talk ing advantage of their exclusive prior knowledge of the company's enbarrass- ment, sold stock and withdrew deposits in order to save themselves and others. I have not yet received reports in this connection, but if any are guilty they will have to suffer-"
 The board of directors, with the ex- ception of pr, S. Weir Mitchell, who is ill in Maine, met to-day in regular session in the trust company building.

WILL NOT COMPROMISE SAYS PRESIDENT PALMA
BUT DOMINATING CUBAN SENTI- MENT IS ANTI-GOVERN-
 MENT.

Insurgent Losses Bring Sorrow, Not Re-
 jOicing, in HHvana--Cities Erect
 Rebels -- songo Rises and Rural
 Guards Hasten There on Special Train
 Many Await Results Before Declar-
 ing Their Sentiments on the RevoIu-
 ton.
 Havana, Aug. S1.-Upon the highest official authority The Associated Press is able to announce that President Pal ma will positively not consider, in the efforts made in the interest of peace in Cuba, any plans which involve political compromises by the government. IT this the presidents official advisers and practically all his closes friends agree those holding different views being ir decided minority.
 The victory of the government forces over the insurgents at Campo Florida twenty miles east of Havana, yester- day, resulting in the loss of twenty men killed for the latter, has not caus- ed the rejoicing here which might have been expected, as the men slain have relatives and friends in this city whicf appears to have largely offset what gladhess might have followed the gov ernment winning. Besides, the domi- hating sentiment in the country Is anti-government and in the cities as we'll as in the rural districts there are a number of people who are waiting the development of events before de- claring themselves for or against the insurrection.
 The authorities of several of the Gu ban cities have caused the erection of earthworks as a protection against in- surgent attacks.
 The governor of Santiago de Cuba has received reports of a rising in Son. go, twenty miles from the city of San tiago de Cuba. He has been unable to ascertain how many men have taken up arms there but he has dispatches a force of mounted rural guards to Songo on special train.

U. S. Transport in Trouble OR Hawaiian

Honolulu, Aug. 31.-The transport Sheridan went ashore at 4 o'clock this evening at Barbers Point, Oahu, Ha- waii. All efforts to send boats ashore from her thus far have been unsuc-
 cessful. There is no beach at the place
 where she struck, and the heavy surf lmakes it impossible to land anywhere near where she lies. As seen from the
 shore she appears to be hung up amid ships and her rolling is noticeable, She lies broadside to the shore, her bow pointing to Honolulu. The transport
 blew her whistles after going ashore,
 but did pot get into communication
 with Honolulu until the wireless tele-
 graph station was opened. Owing to the fact that the Sheridan is provid- ed with water-tight compartments, and has double bottom it is believed that she has sustained no serious damage.

that he said: "To put the private Oh

We must have cacte in the army just
as there is caste in outside society.
We have the same class distinctions,

Colonel Whitehalls sentiments are
sound enough, but if he was quoted ac.
curately, he was not fortunate in his
method of expressing them. Military
law gives officers privileges which pri-
Yates do not share. 1t creates an ar.
tificial caste for military purposes,
