REPORT OF BLOWING UP
 OF MEXICAN GUNBOAT
In Prosresso Harbor With Loss of
 Ten of Her Crew.

Washington, March 1.-Private ad- vices received here from headquarters of the Ward line in New York report the blowing up of the Mexican gun boat Progresso in Progresso harbor yesterday with a loss of ten of her crew. One hundred and twenty seven survivors are being taken from Pro- gresso to Vera Cruz on the Ward liner Morro Castle.
 New York, March 1.-Oficials of the Ward line said this afternoon that they had received advices by cable from the captain of the Morro Castle indicating that there had been an accident of some sort at Progresso, but not setting forth the nature of the accident The Morro Castle, it was said, had left Progresso for Vera Cruz after unload ing only a part of the freight con- signed to Progresso.
 The message said, according to a representative of the line, that the Morro Castle had takn aboard 127 rescued men, at Progresso. Although the gunboat Progresso was not men, tioned in the message, according to this representative, it was assumed here that the report that there had been an explosion was true.
 Apparently the message had been censored, it was said. They had been cut and garbled in transit and were almost wholly unintelligible. The Morro Castle was due at Vera Cruz today.

SEMI ANNUAL DIVIDEND,
Declared at Meeting of Trustees of
 Savings Society.

At a meeting of the trustees of the W1ndham County Savings bank Mon oay afternoon semi-annua1 dividend at the rate of four per cent per an- mum was declared, to be payable in April Since the bank was reopened in October. 1913, it has enjoyed a mer- lted degree of success, pleasing alike to officials and depositors. This is the third two per cent dividend declared since the bank reopened, and it so happened in this case that the divi- dend was earned by the close of 1914.
 In the legislature at this time is pending a bill providing for an amend ment to the banks charter, which was drawn in 1855, and has become anti quated. The amendment is in effect a new charter embracing all the good features of the present one, but with out radical changes. The new charter is said to be a model one and follows closely the lines of most charters be- ing drawn for savings banks in Con- necticut at this time.
