Washington, August 23.-It cost the American government S2554,9f0 in addition to the regular ordinary expense, to keep the American army of Cuban pacification in that island during the fiscal year of 1901.

BANK DEPOSITORS
 ARE INDIGNANT
REPORTS THAT WARRANTS HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTLAND RANK OFFICIALS PROVES TO BE UNTRUE.

Portland, Ore, August S.-Outspoken indignation among many of the l4,0oo de- postors of the Oregon Trust and Savings bank, the doors of which were closed Wednesday, caused the report to be cir culated yesterday that warrants had been issued for officers of the bank. It de- veloped, however, that no warrants had been issued, and that the net result or numerous demands for arrests by certain depositors were the preparation or com nlaints by the district attorney. A mass meeting of depositors has been called to devise ways and means to protect their interests.
 While some of the directors assert that Cashier w. C. Morris erred in buying huge blocks of bonds and lending money to enterprises in which he is alleged to have been interested, friends of Morris warmly defend him and assert that the directors should have been cognizant Of the hanks dealings. It Is said that Nor ris Is now on the way to Portland from the east. where he went to dispose or securities in an endeavor to save the bank. ,,.e

 HEARING RESUMED
VICE PRESIDENT SPENCER TESTl- FEES CONCERNING COST OF oP- BEATING TRAINS ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

Washington, August 23-The North Carolina rate case hearing transferred here from New York, was resumed here today, before Walter A. Montgomery, ap- pointed by United States Circuit Judge J. C. Pritchard, to take evidence. N. B. Spencer, vice-president of the Southern railway, testified concerning the cost of operating trains in North Carolina and the gross earnings on state business, but the great proportion of questions concerning the details of making shipments, indus trial conditions at all of the important points in the state, taxes paid by the Southern, assessed valuation of property, names and mileage of the various corpor- ations making up the Southern system.
 MT. Spencer was required to make mo- tations with view to filing replies. Ex- Governor Aycock. Speaker Justice of the North Carolina legislature, and F. A. Woodward, special counsel conducted the examination for the state. and gave indi- cations that the investigation will be ex- haustive In every particular
 Mir Spencer said that the cost of run ming a passenger train in North Carolina is 96 cents to $1.14 a mile and that the average earnings per mile on local pas- senger trains in the state were from 70 cents to 75 cents per mile. Most of the interstate travel, he said, is on local trains. MT. Spencer said that 1t cost from 8 to 31s times more per ton to handle the interstate freight in North Carolina than the average for the entire system.
 On cross-examination MT. Woodward asked the witness to give the gross earn ines of the Southern system in North Carolina for the fiscal year ended July 30, 1905 MT. Thom protested saying that for information of that character a traf- fjc man should be put on the stand, but the witness finally was permitted to con su,1 q statement handed him by the comp troller of the system. He gave the gross earnings on North Carolina business for this statement as SIP 043, 72f; the gross operating expenses for the same period was s7.77S 193, but could not give the amount of taxes paid during the period, nor the assessed valuation of property.
 MT. Spencer admitted that there is n considerable volume of interstate busi- ness handled from North Carolina local trains. and in fact practically all of such interstate freight except that originating at division points or destined for such no,nts If was concede that this to some extent tended to increase the cost of car ryi,g local freight. The reason given by MT Spencer for the high cost of hand ling local freight was that there Is less tonnage on local trains, more wear on lne equipment and more labor required in the handling,

ROOT IS RECUPERATING.
President Roosevelt Visits Secretary
 of State.

New York, August 23-The news that Secretary of State Root was recuperatlng from overwork and fatigue at the farm of William Muldoon, near White Plains, was no surprise to his friends, who have seen him this summer.
 Persons who have been at Muldoon's since MT Root joined the training squad there, say that the secretary has the appearance of being run down, but that d short sojourn on the farm will put him on his feet. MT. Root keeps in touch with affairs and with President Roosevelt through his secretary, who accompanied him.
 Mudoon, who used to be champion wrestler has had many distinguished guests at his place.
 The Evening Post today quoted Wil- liam Muldoon, at whose sanitarium Secre- tary of State Root is recovering from nervous exhaustion, as saying that Presi- dent Roosevelt slipped away from his home in Oyster Bay within the last few days across the sound and made short visit to Muldoon's sanitarium to see Mir.

New York, August 23-The directors of thes Southern Railway company today cut the semi-annual dividend on the preferred stock of the company from 2lk to l1a per cent.
 President Finley made the following statement:
 'At meeting of the board of direc- f ors of the Southern Railway company to- Slay, the income accounts and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June BO last. were considered. dividend of l15 per cent was declared on the preferred stock out of accumulated surplus. making il total dividend distribution of per cent for the year For this purpose, there was appropriated a portion of the surplus in come carried forward from the year end ed June 30 1906, after payment of the div ldends for that year.
 Tn taking this action the directors were influenced by the consideration that the income account for the year reflected such abnormal and extraordinary condi- tions as may not reasonably be expected to recur. At the same time the direc- | tors considered that under existing con
 ditions of high prices of supplies. mate | rial and labor of increasing taxes and | legislative reduction of revenues it was l the part of conservative prudence to limit | the distribution of the profits of the com 1 pany at least until the permanent effects i of which conditions can be fairly meas 1 ured.'

 Nothing was thought of the incident at the time, but since then 1t has been dis cussed until it threatens to overshadow his remarks on weightier topics.

They are disposed to feel that their race and religon has been treated with lack of reverence
