BANCO FRANCO ESPANOL
Ell Cosejo de Administrator de es-
te Banco, fue el. primer sorprendido
por los rumcres circulados en- Bolsa Y
publicados despues en- telegramas de
Paris por varios periodicos, relatives
q la detencion de su administrator de-
legado, Mr.. Rochette.
Era tanto mas inexplicable para ell
ConseJo la noticia, por ouanto ningu-
ma perturbaci6n sc habia Observable
en- las relaciones del domiciio social
y la surcursal de Paris, demostrando
la correspondence Ia mas perfecta
normalidad
En- Madrid Sc recibi6 Ell siguiente
telegrama, frmado'por Ell director del
Banco en- Madrid, que accidental
mente Sc en- cuentra en- Paris, que
copiado al pie de la letra, dice 10 ST
guiente:
"Visite directories peri6dicos pre-
vlnlendoles no recojan noticias que
circular acerca de Rochette. Tratase
de denuncia falsa, cosa que demos
trarase en- pocas horas restableciendo

que Sc encuentra en- Paris, y ha reci-
bldo el siguiente telegrama, autoriza-
do con la firna del ASSESSOR "Tomando
pretexto de una querella antigua y
sin prueba a'guna, fue detenido Mr..

cadas por el Juzgado averiguaciones

la detenci6n son completamente All
mas a la situacion del Banco Franco
EspafIol.
Como puede observarse por el con-
tenido de estos telegramas, carecen
de todo fundamento las noticias que
Sc han propalado respecto la su-
Ipuesta quiebra del Banco Franco

new ORLEANS FIRE
fIREMEN AT ANNUAL PICNIC
WHEN BLAZE STARTED.
Three Blocks Destroyed With Loss
Reaching $500, ooo-Fire Was Spec
tacular-Two Liquor Warehouses
Among Buildings Destroyed-Barre
After Barrel Exploded.

New Orleans Aug. 31.-Fire that
broke out in the center of the com
mercial district Sunday afternoon
swept over portions of three blocks,
destroying a large number of whole
sale houses, manufacturing plants and
stores. Originating at Beinville and
Chartres streets, the flames worked
their way north as far as Cont street
and west to Royal street, with a loss
of between s1,OOO,0OO and $4,000, 900
before the flames were finally subdued
At the time the alarm was turned in,
shortly before o'clock, the New Or
leans firemen were in the midst of
their annual picnic at a suburban
park and the engines and patrols re-
spOnded with a mere handful of men
1t was fully an hour before the de-
partment was in a position to make
anything like a successful fight against
the fire, and even then the handicap
against it was added to by an made
quate supply of water
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that has occurred in New Or
leans during recent years.
Two warehouses filled with wines
and liquors were among the buildings
destroyed. Barrels of whisky and
brandy exploded with thunderous
rOars which could be heard for blocks
and which shook the walls of adjoin-
ing buildings and endangered the lives
of firemen engaged in fighting the
flames. II was not until several hours
had elapsed that the fire was gotten
under control, and even then il CON
tinued to burn well into the night.

JAPS SHORT OF MONEY.
Have Postponed Their Exposition to
1917

1917.
The governments financial policy,
decided upon by the cabinet, involves
the curtailment of expenditures by
100000, 900, of which 80 per cent will
be taken from the army budget and
10 per cent from that of the navy.
The postponement of the exposition,
Premier Kaysura says, is not purely
due to financial reasons, but is owing
to the fact that the work of prepare
ton has been insufficient and it will
be quite impossible to make a credit
able exposition within three years on
an appropriation of five millions.
Therefore, as the necessary appro-
priation would be inconsistent with
the economical plans of the cabinet for
the next five years, it is wiser for the
government to admit that fact than to
fail in making a complete success of
the exposition which it has been de-
cided will be held in 1917, the ami
versary of the accession of the en-
peror.
In this manner Japan admits her
financial stringency, but insists on the
utmost economy and depends on for
eign countries accepting the situation
as an act of wise economy on the part
of the nation.
