 Insurgents.

Havana, Aug 21.-Secretary of state and Justice O'Farrell, who was acting as secretary of the interior, has resigned from the cabinet His ac- tion was due to pique, because Pres ident Palma criticized him for not be- ing in close touch with the insurrec- tionary movement and for not strong ly grasping the situation. This cul- minated in the appointment yesterday of Gen Rafael Moltalve. secretary of public works, to take direct charge of all the military operations against the insurgents.

MAIL STEAMER STUCK.
All Efforts Have Failed to Pull Off
 the Steamer Manchuria.

Honolulu, Aug 21.-All efforts have so far failed to ull of the mail steamer Manchuria, stranded of Rabbit Island, on the north shore of Oahua, and cable may be sent asking for tugs from San Francisco Another attempt will be made to haul the liner of the reef at high tide to-day. It is probable the steam CT Alameda may help in the effort to get the stranded vessel into deep water, but her position Is such as to give little hope for success. The cabin passengers have been landed, but 1t was impossible to gel them all here last night. The steam ship company made arrangements for accommodations for the night at Waimanalo and the plantation mana gers threw open their homes to many of the passengers.
 The landing was affected without much trouble except a slight panic among the Asiatics who made rush for the boats. but were soon quieted.
 Joseph F. Smith, governor general of the Philippines, who is on his way to Manila to relieve Gov Gen Ide. was among the last to leave the steamer. The officers of the ship remained on board.
 The Manchuria lies unmoved There is no immediate danger of her breaking up, but 1t is believed 1t will be impossible to get her from her present position. It is reported that the steamer is leaking and that the pumps are at work.
 While 1t was at first thought that the steamer could be floated without much difficulty, it seems to be the general opinion at this time that fl the ship is saved 1t will be effected only by elaborate engineering opera tions possibly requiring weeks.
 She is far inside the reef now and pounding quite heavily. The vessel is standing high out of the water and forms a picturesque spectacle and crowds are hastening from here over the mountains to see the ship. She is seven feet further inland than when she struck.
 It Is believed the passengers will not arrive here before tonight. The mails have been taken from the Man. churia but have not yet arrived here. Capt Saunders is quoted as assuming all blame for the stranding of the ship as he was on the bridge and mistook the land for Makapuu.

ARREST OF 4 SENATOR John LoYitt is Charged With Having a Hand in WIecking Nova
 Scotia Bank
DEPosIToRs LOST A MILLION

Yarmouth, N. S., Aug 21.-The ar- rest of Senator John Lovitt, one of the leaders of the Liberal party of Nova Scotia late yesterday created q sensation throughout the province to-day when the news became public. Senator Lovitt was president of the Bank of Yarmouth which failed on March 6, 1905, with liabilities of more than $1,000,00O. The specific charge against the senator is that of making false and deceptive returns concern ing the banks condition to the finance department of the federal govern ment about one month prior to the failure of the bank.
 The Bank of Yarmouth closed it's doors immediately after the failure of w. H. Bedding & Sons. shoe manu- facturers of this city who were in debted to the amount of SG0O00O. At the time of the trouble, Senator Lo- witt was atteding session of the senate in Ottawa. When the embar- rassment of the Bedding firm because known to the bank officials, Senator Lovftt was sent for but before he reached the city the bank had been closed and receiver appointed. The receiver chosen by the government was A. Stavert, manager of the bank of New Brunswick. When receiver Stavert took charge of the institution he discovered number of alleged ir- regularities, Paying Teller Johns was placed under arrest. The case against him is still pending.
 The failure resulted in the embar- rassment of number of local busi- ness men. The receicer assessed the stockholders 100 per cent of their holdings and strong protest was made by many of these. The arrest of Senator LOvitt was followed by that of A. Crowell, vice president of the Bank of Yarmouth, on a similar charge. The complainant, ]. Lyons Hatfield who was a stockholder in the defunct institution, alleges that Lovltt and Crowell were responsible for the returns sent to the finance de- partment of the Canadian government at Ottawa, which are required by law. It is claimed that minor officers of the bank made out the government returns and that Senator Lovitt and the vice-president signed them. vert flying the figures therein contained.

THE DOG NUISANCE.
Carthage Collector Was Bitten by a
 Canine This Morning.

One of H. NJ. Rigney's teamsters was bitten by a dog on North Main street to-day and when he tried to defend himself from the animal the owner kicked up big fuss about it. This dog business is cropping up again and if it becomes much worse it Is likely that the pets will be tied up again and any of them caught at large will be sho; at sight. In other parts of the country. notably in sew eral Massachusetts towns they are going out of the dog business and anybody who has a brute that bites a person considers himself lucky to get out of it by having the canine shot. From the outset there has been a strong public sentiment in favor of dogs in this town and a sa result it was hard to do anything towards defending human beings from them.
