HAVANA, Aug. 29.-The surrender OF
some of the more vigorous insurgent
leaders in the provinces of Matanzas
and Santa Clara and the coming in of
scattering few insurgents in response
to the governments proffer of amnesty.
is vastly more than offset by the in
surgent sentiment looking stronger
daily in the country districts Of the
province of Havana, Pinar Del Rio
and Santa Clara, and which is now re-
ported to be gaining headway in Santi-
ago, from which province, however.
there are as yet no reports of organized
bands.
The testimony of persons arriving
here from the country is to the effect
that the people are restless and becom-
ing more and more excited The talk
of the town is of those who have gone
out to join the insurgents and the
chance Of winning against the govern
ment.
There are grave doubts of the loyalty
of the recruits and especially of negro
recruits who are suspected In many
quarters of a willingness to join the
other side with which their people are
identified.
The undeniable evidences of the
growth of insurrection sentiment is
causing doubt as to whether the gov
ernment will after all be able to cope
promptly and successfully with the
movement and there is much discussion
of the possibilities of peace settle
ment.
Interest centers in a projected meet
ing of Cuban veterans and other prom
inent Cubans to consider the question
of approaching Pine Guerra and other
insurgent commanders as we'll as lead
ers of the liberal party and members
of the government with view to ascer-
tanning whether the difficulty cannot be
settled through some compromise.

Government officials, while not deny
ing that many people, and especially
easy, predict that affairs will be-

The characterize the stories of dis
satisfaction among the government
forces as inventions of the opposftions
of the newspapers and unworthy of

Excitement Following Failure Of the
Real Estate and Trust Company
at Philadelphia Grows
With Each Hour
BY Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-Receiver
Geo. H. Earle, Jr, today took charge
of the affairs of the Real Estate Trust
company which yesterday failed be-
cause of the heavy loans made by
Frank K. Nipple. late president, to
Adolph Segal, the promoter, upon in
sufficient security
Until Mr. Earle completes the in
vestigation the exact condition of the
company's affairs cannot be told. The
receiver, however, expressed the belief
that the trust funds are intact.
John H. Converse, a director Of the
company and one of the foremost
Presbyterian laymen in the country
upon whose representation the receiver
was appointed, said today he was salts
fed that the securities of the various
Presbyterian church boards were safe.
The Presbyterian hospital, of which
Mr. Nipple was treasurer, today elect
ed the l lelity Trust company as his
successor and through the concern
learned that the Institutions securities,
amounting to $1,5OO,000 are intact.
While 1t is pelleVed tnat tne securities
Of the board of trustees of the general
assembly are equally safe, it will be
necessary to elect new treasurer be-
fore the fact can be determined.
1t developed today that Mr.. Nipple
had on deposit for various Presbyterian
church organizations $150,00O in cash.
Included in this was the sum of 100000
deposited by the Women's Foreign
Mission society to be used In rebuild
ing the home for rescued Chinese slave
girls in San Franciseoe destroyed by the
earthquake.
One of the many runors was that the
banks had evolved a plan to raise a
guarantee fund of $7,000,000 with which
to rehabilitate the trust company, but
this could not be verified.
1t is the hope of the directors, how
ever, to reopen the doors of the bank,
and, with this end in view they held
numerous meetings today, comforting
with Receiver Earle.
Frank Wharton Nipple, son OF the
late president, who is a clerk in the
bank, was set upon by a crowd of
angry depositors as he was leaving the
building today and would probably
been roughly handled had the police
not interfered.

Only few hundred yards from where
the Pacific Coast Steamship company's
steamship st. Paul lies wrecked in
Monterey bay q second disaster oc-
Cured last night
Thick mists obscured the rocks lying
off Point Joe, two miles from Point
Pinos light house, and the steam
schooner Celia, making from Santa
blank which certifies the signature of
Cruz, where she had left part of her
cargo of 100000 feet Of lumber, for the
port of Monterey, ran on the jagged
shore line.
The first tidings were received in
Monterey from Captain Newman, who
with ten men arrived ut the Monterey
wharf soon after four O'Clock this
morning.
The fate of the schooner's second
boat in charge of First Mate Ander-
son and containing superintendent
Bishop of the Albion Lumber company,
his wife and three children and the
other members of the crew, was for
some time in doubt, the boats having
become separated in a heavy mist.
Fears were entertained that the boat
might be lost in the fog but fortunately
the ocean was comparatively calm and
some time later the boat duly made
Monterey with all hands safe.
The vessel is already a total wreck
and the flotsam Is being looked after by
launches from Monterey, which are en-
deavoring to collect what is possible

NEW YORK. Aug. 29-William j.
Bryan will deliver What he regards as
the most important speech of his career
at the reception to be given in his
honor at Madison Square garden to-
morrow night.
He will probably speak for more than
two hours. and will discuss what he be-
lieves should be the issues in the COM
ing presidential campaign.
His speech will contain approximately
between $4,000 and $4,000 words. The
synopsis which Bryan has prepared
contains 5000 words
Bryan devoted several days to it's
preparation during the tip from Glib
raltar on the Princess Irene.
1t may be said the address will be the
effort of Bryan's life. Remarks that
Bryan dropped during his voyage would
irdicate that he regards government
ownership OF railroads and other public
utilities as paramount issue, and this
subject he will undoubtedly discuss at
great length In his speech.
He says free silver has long since
ceased to be an issue, and disposes of
the subject by declaring 1t win not be

Sheriff William Tibbets and sentenced
to life imprisonment, is rapidly going
insane at the county jail, where he is
awaiting on appeal to the supreme

He has been acting strangely for the

are trying to kill him. The officers do
not think the prisoner Is taking.
Forty months ago Hulse brought

Mckinney had been driven from

PREsBYTERIANs BIG LOSERS
Real Estate Trust Company Virtually
Bank of Church
Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. $3.50 great
was the confidence reposed IN FRANK
q Hipple, late president of the Real
Estate Trust company, which was yes
terday forced to the wall because or
the secret business transactions of Mr.
Nipple, that the institution was vir-
tually the bank of the Presbyterian
church.
Not only the general assembly, which
was large depositor, but even the
smallest Sunday school organizations
and hundreds of individuals with abid-
ing faith in the integrity of the late
president, had entrusted their funds
and savings to the institution,
"It almost destroys a PERSONS faith
in human nature" said II. p. Ford,
private secretary to Dr. Alexander
Henry, secretary of the board of publ
cation and Sabbath school work of the
Presbyterian church.
"As treasurer OF the trustees of the
general assembly, Mr.. Nipple had con-
troll of over $1,000, 900, and as treasurer
of the permanent committee on home
missions and sustenation in the synod
OF Pennsylvania and the Presbyterian
hospital of this city, other large
amounts were at his command"
Since the failure of the trust COM
pany it has been learned that only a
few months ago the institution was
under consideration as possible de-
pository for the foreign missionary
funds of the Presbyterian church. The
Influence of Mr.. Nipple, 1t is said,
might have eventually prevailed. The
annual contributions to foreign mis-
sions amount to over $1,200,00O, and it's
surplus on hand almost equals half
that amount.
May Have Committed Suicide
1t is likel.- that an investigation of
the manner in which President Nipple
came to his sudden death will now be
made. Coroner's Physician Reed of
Norristown admits that Mr.. Nipple
may have committed suicide.
A few friends who attended the fun
eral of the late president Of the Real
Estate Trust company had some
knowledge of his difficulties but none
of them knew of his greatly involved
affairs. He was not known to have
been a stock speculator, although fin
anciers say he was one of the many
who lost heavily in Consolidated Lake
Superior company stock several years
ago. Real estate investments seemed
10 have engaged his attention and
money almost exclusively.
This is borne out through his con-
nections with Adolph Segal and the
latter's enterprises.
Late last night Segal, his counsel and
District Attorney John G, Bell, held a
conference. Mr.. Bell said he had been
called in by Segal because the pro-
moter thought II entirely feasible to
raise the $S5O0.000 needed by the trust
company.
Mr. Bell said he was in no way con-
nected with the case other than that he
might aid In raising the funds neces-

His face was wreathed in smiles and
he seemed more than pleased at the
thought of setting foot on his native
soil again. Far down the lower bay
the Illini met the Princess Irene and
! steamed with her to the quarantine
station. Mr.. Bryan was hailed by those
on board the yacht and waved his
recognition of the cheers and salutes
that were given.
His steamers anchor had not been

queries. "Our travels have been dis
cussed in my letters, and as make a

tion.

I'VE have had pleasant journey,
with enough of storm to vary the
monotony, but not enough to injure
any one.
II am delighted to be back again in
my native land. From what l have
read in the papers and heard from
friends in Europe there has been quite
revolution in opinions on economic
questions in the United States and
this is of course gratifying.
"On the presidential question do not
care to add Anything to the interviews
which I gave in London and the letter
written by me to former Senator
Jones'"
Asked regarding his opinion as to
the chances for a Democratic victory
two years hence, Mr.. Bryan said:
Refuses to Prophesy
81 have been away for some time and
l can add that have been away too
long to come back a prophet. I never
predict, for predictions do not tell the
story.
"You have seen some of the predic-
tions given out in the heat of cam
paign, and you even know how differ
ent some estimates are from what come
to pass. No, l will not prophesy.
81 always assume that the chances
Iof Democratic success are improving.
l believe that the people are coming
to recognize that the Democratic ideas
easy to fix definitely when these ideas
will triumph, but 1 believe that there
has been always a forward movement
toward that triumph
do you think that the Republican
administration has been such as to in
crease these chances?" was asked.
II cannot discuss that question at
present, but | do think that the present
administration has done much to edu-
cate the people to make them see the
value of Democratic ideas.
ITO go beyond that would be to dis
ouss politics, and that, as / have said,
l will not do"
