Wild Run With Prisoner.
Fearing violence, the detectives pick
ed up the banker and threw him bodily
into the cab. Stensland vas shy, pale
and agitated. Before the detectives or
Attorney Olson could climb into the
cab the driver started up. The ofic-
ials chased it down the street, shout
ing wildly for the driver to stop.
Mob In Pursuit.
The mob followed Olson INT the 6e-
t~ectives in the chase for the vehicle,
yelling violently. The street was a
bedlam of noise. Olson forgot his bag
gage, which contained important evil
dence, and ordered the driver to re-
turn to the depot. The crowd mean
while Was augmented. Police re-
serves were called out and drove the
crowd back until the vehicle could
be driven away.
Says He Was Badly Treated.
Stensland is indignant at his treat
ment in New York. He considered
himself treated as a common felon, be
ing compelled to undergo the ''degrad-
ing" process of the Bertillon system
and was generally abused. New dis
closures were made by Stensland on
the train, and it is said he broke down
and wept.
The italian Clerk Blamed.
New disclosures made by Stensland
laid the origin of the forgeries on an
Italian clerk, who worked in connec-
ton with Cashier Herring, Stensland
said. The forgeries were wiped out
by the second issue of forged notes.
Says Notes Are Valid.
Stensland pronounced the question
able notes valid, Notwithstanding the
makers statements hat their sigma
lures We're forged. Stensland placed
the blame on Cashier Herring and for
mer Teller Frantzen and their part
ners.

Cabinet Resigns in Body.
The designations of all the members
of the cabinet were given to President
Palma today. He accepted them, but
congress acts on Palma's resignation.
No official call has been made for the
converting Of congress. 1t is believed
Palma is waiting to see if Secretary
Taft makes proposals.
Charged With Treason.
Liberal Leader Seayas charges the
administration with treason in deliver
ing the government to Americans.
Some officials and m%oderates ~denounce
the peace commission and favor the
rebels. The commission. is disposed to
criticise the government for refusing
consideration of the peace terms.
Congress May Not Meet.
There will probably be no quorum of
congress on Friday, many of the mod
crates advising the members 10 absent
themselves in order to suspend the gov
eminent and allow the Americans to
seize it.
In Woods or in Jail.
Liberal leaders will find difficulty in
attending, as they are either in the
woods or in Jail. If congress has a
quorum, the election of a new pres
ident and vice president are not un-
likely. Enraged over the loss of power,
some of the moderates are advising
violent action.
Want Palma to Fight.
Palma is strongly advised to tell Sec
rotary Taft to go about his own bust
ness and fight the rebels. Palma re-
signed rather than openly defy Taft.
Troops may be landed at any time.
