LONDON , Feb. 12. The Times tomorrow
will publish the following dispatch from
Montevideo , dated February 11 :
RIO IB JANEIRO , Feb. 9 , 1891. At 5
o'clock this morning COO Insurgents atlackci
Armacao nnd Ponla da Arela In Iho vicinity
of Nictheroy. Landing parties left the
. Island of Concclcao at 3:30 : a. in. and BUC-
rcedcd In reaching the mainland without
discovery. In half an hour afterward heavy
Jlrlng began on both sides. The government
' .troops rellred , leaving five offlceru nnd forty
men prisoners and six officers and fifty men
killed.
At G o'clock , reinforcements of over 1,000
men arriving. Iho government troops again
advanced under n heavy fire of rifles nnd ma
chine guns. The Krupp batlcry , stationed
on the Island of Caja , opposite Ponta da
Arela , also being engaged.
Admiral da Gcma further nttemplod lo
check Iho advance of Iho Iroops by calling
for reinforcements of 100 men from the
Island of Concclcao and by sending launches
from the cruiser Llbertad close to the shore
of the main land.
These efforts stopped the advance nnd
caused heavy losses to the government
troops. Then their ammunition fell short ,
their fire slackened and the government
troops slowly gained ground. After three
hours lighting the troops were within half
U mile of Armacao and Admiral da Oama
decided to withdraw his millers , finding It
Impossible to remain there , In consequence
ot the overwhelming number of Iho enemy ,
The Llbertad's armed launches continued to
liold the troops nt bay while the Insurgents
embarked at Armacao , the Aquldabati covcr-
Inc their retreat.
The Llbcrtads' launches were close to
Ponta da Arela and received the brunt of
the cncmys' fire. It was 11 o'clock before
the last of the Insurgents embarked after
spiking the government battery of heavy
guns at Armacao. The Insurgent loss was
live officers and thirty men killed and Iwenly
officers and forly men wounded. It Is Im-
jiosslblo to obtain correct returns , but the
government Is supposed to have fifteen olll-
cers and 150 men killed and many wounded.
Admiral da Gama has bullet wounds in his
neck anil arm , but they are not dangerous.
Both sides displayed great bravery , but
the sailors were demoralized at the finish
by the largo number of the enemy and
tired wildly. Still the withdrawal was or
derly and without Blgn of panic. The gov
ernment claims a decisive victory , nnd today
1.500 men were sent lo reinforce Iho garrison
risen ol Nlclheroy.
Admiral do Mcllo , with the Ropubllca-
1s now at Destorro. The correspondent
who wrote this Item was himself slightly
wounded In the throat by a Mannllcher
bullet. Ho saw the first part of Ihe ac
tion from the Island ot Concclcao , and the
latter on board the Llbertad.

CALCUTTA , Feb. 12. The Indian Cur-
-crency association has entered n strong pro
test , which has been addressed to the govern
ment In regard to Ihe. disorganization of
trade in consequence of Iho changes In Hip
Hllver policy. The prolcst says th.it Iho
present state of affairs show that the closure
ot the mints did not do any harm , though
Its advantages wcro , temporarily suspended
by Iho abnormal Importations ot sliver and
of piece goods , and through other causes.
Continuing , the association says that the
government abandoned the minimum price
Tor council bills at the moment success was
assured and that this resulted In a panic and
that It Is now Imperative to restore con-
lldence. The association recommends the fix
ing of a minimum price for council bills ,
thp prohibition of the Importation of sliver
for private account and that the sale of coan-
cll bills bo entrusted to an agent appointed
liy the Indian finance minister. A few firms
dissent from the above recommendallons and

GREATLY MISREPRESENTED.
I'olloy of Union 1'arlllo Passenger Depart
ment irplidlil liy Mr. Wllil.
"Tho Union Pacific passenger department
has been greatly misrepresented , " said E.
H. Wild , chief rate clerk of the Great North
ern , who Is In'Omaha to assist In correcting
the Montana rate sheet. "Mr. Lomnx has
not cut any ot the transcontinental rates , as
alleged by the newspapers , but has simply
put Into effect rates agreed upon by the
Great Northern , Northern Pacific and Cana
dian Pacific. The Montana rate of $25 has
been In effect on the Great Northern for
nearly four years , which the Union Pacific Is
well Informed of. The wonder of It all Is
that the Union Peclflc should have put In
this eastbound rate to Missouri river com
mon points after all these years. While the
situation Is rather mixed In transcontinental
affairs , I believe rates will remain about as
they are now. " *
"President Hill of the Great Northern Is
represented to have said that the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific.Canadian Pa
cific and Union Pacific had reached an agree
ment as to the handling of transcontinental
business. Is Mr. Hill right In this state
ment ? " asked the reporter.
"Tho agreement was drawn with the un-
dcrstandnlg that the Union Pacific would bo
a party , 10 It , but when the time came for
signing the Union Pacific dropped out and
has pursued a waiting policy over since.
Whllo Mr. Lomax , as the representative of
the passenger department of tlio Union Pa
cific , has been roasted by the newspapers of
the west , our St. Paul papers having been
aggrcsslvo against him , ho haa not de
served the criticism , for the rates now In
effect have been made by northern lines.
Although the Great Northern is a com
petitor of-tho Union Pacific , it is generally
recognized that the Union Pacific has been
, n a most peculiar position , and Mr. Lomax
s to be complimented on tlio conservative
course ho has taken. "
1 Tinaiontuim Ratr.
Messrs. J. C , Poor of the Northern Pacific ,
E. H. Wild of the Great Northern , with
icadquartorB at St. Paul , and W. II. Murray
of the Union Pacific , are holding a meet-
ng to correct the Montana rate nheet In
view ot the new $25 second class rate east

lines , ho never let hlR fear ot conflict
rcnch on his conception of right , nor his
lOsscKston of power load him Into Injudicious
inhibitions ot force. Ills careful ueeklng
f the middle course , along which the safety
f all Interests lay , gave him the confidence
f both employer nnd employed.
In his personal contact with men George
Vlllard was most admirable. His consider-

MILWAUKEE , Feb. 12. A wild northeast
gale Is sweeping over the city from Lake
Michigan nnd the air Is full of cold , psnetrat-
Ing and drifting snow. The electric lines
manage to make slow progress , but If the
storm continues thcro will probably be an
embargo of travel tonight.
Advices from the Interior of the state are
to the effect that the storm Is raging every
where nnd that the railway travel Is consid
erably Impeded.
The local weather forecaster predicts a
severe and protracled cold spell as a result
of the blizzard. In Wisconsin a drop of
from twenty to thirty degrees Is expected.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no acci
dents had been reported as a result of the
storm.

pressed that the tragedy of last spring ,

went for safety when it became apparent
the house would bo carried. This after
noon the dark outlines of the house were

GUTHRIE , Okl. , Feb. 12. The settlers of
the territories are just now experiencing and
suffering from the first- real blizzard of the
season. The thermometer remains aronnd
tbo zero point , and although the snow has
stopped falling It lies several Inches deep
and In many places Is badly drifted.
The blizzard started Sunday morning and
over since has kept up Its fury , a blinding
snow storm finally giving way to a biting
wind , which piled the snow Into huge
mounds and made outdoor work practically
Impossible. Owing lo Ihe almost Impassl >
ble condition of the roads and the slow
working of the telegraph wires , It Is Impos.
slulc , at. this tlmo , to gain news from tha
outlyingtowns. . That there Is Intense suf
fering among Iho sclllers , none of whom nro
too well equipped to fight such a storm.how-
cver , Ihere is little doubt. The trains duo
at this city on Sunday have not arrived.
Three trains are snowbound between Red
Rock and Cross , forty miles north , and , an
the country Is not well watered or timbered ,
to say nothing of provisions , the passengers
are certainly In a precarious condition.

TROUBLE BREWING IN IOWA
( Continued on Sccotul Pago. )
Innil recolvor , which were expected
to reach Miller during tlio
nbsonco of the owner. Mill caino here , nnil
as noon ns he was nottneil of the failure of
his bank ho wired the Intelligence thnt It
would pay out nil claims. Ho clnlmcdvhllo
hero Hint ho know that the Cass County
bank had failed , but ho nupposod Yetzor wan
financially nil right , nnd would be nblo to as-
Hlst him nnd the Miller bank. Yotzor Is
bankrupt , so ho say , claiming ho has not a
dollar on enrth. Mill returned to Miller
nnd proved too tiulck for the slier-
Ill to prevent him from receiving the
papers ns land receiver , but It Is reported
here that efforts will bo mndo to prevent
Hill from qualifying ns land r.ecclvor , nnd ho
may also bo knocked out of n good demo
cratic government Job.
OKPOSITOHS STILL , IN THE DAHK.
When the officials of the Cass County
bank wont out nnd locked the doors , It Is
said thnt out of the largo sums of money
which had been deposited there , only $200
remained. Then Theodore a. Stolnku , n
wealthy clothing merchant and an old-time
citizen hero , was appointed as receiver ,
with J. S. Dlack of Council Uluffffs ns ex
port examiner. This took place about De
cember 23 , nnd although thcso men hnvo
been nt work ever since , they hnvo given
the public no Information ns to the proba
ble condition of nffnlrs , nnd nro very closemouthed -
mouthed nbout the bank's condition. It Is
reported thnt Receiver Stclnko has stated
thnt ho would bo ready to render n public
statement of the bank's condition this
week , nnd the depositors nro
nwnlllng his report with fovortsh
anxiety. Expert Dlack has been sick for n
few days nnd this has given credence to the
rumor thnt the men now In charge of affairs ,
fearful of the personal safety of the ofllclals ,
were not only delaying their report until the
excitement subsides , but until the grand jury
adjourns.
When the depositors In the southeastern
part of the county heard of this they held n
mooting and agreed to petition for another
and extra session of the grand Jury for the
purpose of Indicting the receivers , export , nt-
torncy and all others concerned for conspir
ing to defent the ends of justice by con
certed delay. But those who have known
Receiver Stclnko for years say that under no
conditions would ho bo a party to such a
conspiracy nnd but few question his Integrity
In the matter. However , unless the re
ceiver's report Is made public this week , the
people will become very uneasy , In fact ,
they nro now , and new complications mny
arise.
WHAT BECAME OP THE MONEY ?
Where did nil this money go ?
Dlckerson doesn't gamble ; ho lives bet
ter than most people , It Is true , but ho
could not spend so much money In his liv
ing expenses. Ho nnd his family have been
prominent In the exclusive society sot hero
and frequently entertained their friends In
splendid style , but this , If ho received no
salary or had no Income whatever , would
account for but llttlo of the nmount which
has "disappeared.
President Yotzor had n stock farm , a
fine home , n big hardware nnd farm Imple
ment house , and n line now three-story
brick block on the northwest corner of Sixth
and Chestnut streets. Ho Is not a society
man nnd was a good Judge of whisky.
Isaac Dlckcrson , the vice president of
the bank , Is the pioneer real estate dealer ,
loan agent and nbstrnctor of this county ,
having located here In 1S5G. Ho ac
cumulated a competence In this
business and his sons have nil
been prosperous , so ho did not take the
money for his personal wants. The depos
itors have put this'nnd that circumstance
together , until many of them have come to
the conclusion that the money has been lost
on the Doard of Trade In Chicago and other
places , or In unlucky speculation. The nc-
cused vouchsafe no explanation , although
many people are of the opinion thnt If Albert
Dlckerson would tell the whole story an ap
palling state of affairs would be revealed.
However , he suffers In silence. The silence
of the younger Dlckerson leads people to
suspect , that he. Is suffering alone to shield
his father , the vice president. If this Is the
case the depositors promise not to nllpw him
this privilege , as they Intend that the grdnd
Jury shall probe the matter to the very
bottom and let the blame rest where It may.
The depositors are also Inclined to ques
tion the legality or honesty of the transfer
of several pieces of property made to the-
German Savings bank of Davenport by some
of the officers of the bank. Whllo the trans
action appears to bo legal on the face , the
men who lost their money are going to take
a poop behind the scenes In the matter.
Another report In connection with this fail
ure has reached here from the Oskalooso ,
Mo. Some tlnm nerO. Clnrenca Dlckerson.
son of the vice president , and Julian Phelps ,
attorney for the bank , purchased extensive
coal lands in Missouri and established the
town of Oskaloosn. These mines , It Is said ,
have been operated Independent of assistance
from the Cass County bank , and are In no
wise connected with that institution. But
rumor has It that the minors were paid off
In checks on the bank drawn against the
funds of the mine owners. The bank failed
that week , so the report goes , and when the
checks were returned unpaid the indignant
miners secured n rope and were going to
lynch young Dtckorson. Cooler counsel Inter
fered and the miners received their money.
It Is said that Issnc Dlckerson Is In Oskuloosn
awaiting the action of the grand Jury and
the report of the receiver.
CAUGHT THE POOIl PEOPLE.
The class of people most affected by this
failure nro hard working men and women ,
who can 111 afford to lese their earnings
which were deposited In this bank with the
utmost confidence In the officers. The failure
has created n financial depression nnd lack
of confidence which will require consider
able tlmo to restore again. The other banks ,
the Atlantic , National , Bank of Atlantic and
Commercial 'bank , nro In no way affected by
this failure and are In good shnpo , besides
being officered by men who stand high in
nnmrnnrHiil plrnlns
The Cass County bank was Incorporated on
April 23 , 1S7G , under the state banking laws ,
by J. C. "Yotzer. Newton Richards , Isaao
'Dlckerson , Sam Chllds , Q. S. Montgomery ,
S. A. Koyos , A. W. Ulckcrson and L. O.
Uelnlg. Of these Incorporators. Chllds , Mrs.
Kc.yes and Rolnlg are deceased. Yotzer , the
two Dlckorsdns , Richards and Mrs. Keycs'
estate were Interested In the institution
when It failed. The paid up capital
stock was $ Gu,00. All of thcso men
were then In the prime of life ,
had the confidence of a young man and
growing community , and were filled with
the energy of men who Intended establish
ing a llnunclal Institution which would be
a credit to western Iowa. For several years
previous to the Incorporation an n state
bank this Institution had been run as n
private bank , ' nnd Frank II. Whitney , now
mayor of < UI : lllc al111 president of the
Bank of Atlantic , was Interested In the
management. Ho then withdrew nnd engaged -
gaged In the banking nnd grain buying
btlslnosi for himself. The liberal methods
pursued by ( IICBO men In these days ustab-
llshnd a confidence with the people , which
continued until the bank fulled In De
cember , 189S.
During the next few days some Interest
ing development * nro expected. '
KAHNING HER LIVING.
Ono pathetic hldo of this case wns learned
by The Ilco reporter today. It wan n handsome -
some young daughter of Isaac nickewon nt
work earning her living In a dressmaker o
shop. It Is Indicative of the moral courage
of the family and the young lady Is gnmtly
ndmlred for her bravo course , bho has been
roared In n fcplcmlld home , sunotinded by
many luxuries , but when her fatherH re
verses caino Hho bravely took up the battle
of life for herself.
Ono day during hint week a well known
farmer named Marlon dropped dead from
heart disease near Cumberland , a small
town In the Boutheastern part of CasB county.
His friend * allegu thnt ho lost qulto a tmm
of money In the Cass County bank and that
ttia loan so affected him that he Buffered an
attack of heart dlteano which resulted fatally ,
Rov. Mr , Wlckeraham , pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church hero , created
some comment yesterday by cautioning his
people to carefully avoid making rcnmrlm or
taking such action In the Casa County bank
affalrB ns to create undue excitement. Ho
cautioned thnm to obey the laws of their
tate and let Justice , BH prescribed In the
itatuteH , punish the guilty ones.
Undur the utrliiBent banking lawn of this
state all the olllcora and director * of this
bank are criminally liable for recelvlnc do-
posIU after the bank became Insolvent , Tbta ,
would Include Walter II. Tumple , a promi I
nent politician ami ex-county recorder , who |
was assistant cashier of the bank , nnd pox-
slbly ono or two other * , but no action will
probably bo taken against them unless the
grand Jury-finds suillclent grounds for re
turning an Indictment against them.

upon the secretary of stale and Inquired if
the above letter , yours of October IS , was

that It was. Mr. Thurston then said : 'I wish
to ask If It Is the Intention of the United

force , or. In other words , will they , If the
provisional government declines to accede
to the request , use United States troops to
enforce the request ? Mr. Gresham replied :
"I am not at liberty at present to answer
that question. It Is a matter concerning

"On the same aftprnoon Mr. Gresham said
to Mr. Thurston : 'I have already answered
your firbt question , to the effect that the

that Minister Willis has no Instructions to
do anything that will causa Injury to life or
property on the Islands. Further than this I
am not at liberty to state what are
his Instructions. You , can draw your own
Inferences from my statement and allay any
apprehension which may have been caused by

"Mr. Thurston further said to Mr. Gresham ,
'Your answer does not convoy the Informa
