Dickinson rtntcd tonight thnt ho li-nl received a dis patch to the effect that the Insurgents were actually entering the city of Havana. Mr. Dickinson , however , declined to state the render's name or the precise contents ot the message. Commenting en the fact that the Cubans are evidently about to achieve their Independence unnlded , Mr. Dlcklnpon said : "Every member of congress should bow T Jiend In shimo that no stps were taken toward recognizing the state of affairs that existed. Congress should be ashamed that It has not done something In spite of all It has had on Its hands. There Is no reason why belligerency should not have been rec ognized. It ha ? been perfectly plain that a Etuto of wa" existed , yet our government has stood by nnd Ignored It , whllo we , of all nations , should have been eager to assist a people struggling so hard for their free dom. ' "Now they hive evidently won their Independence pendence- not only without the aid of th.5 United States , but In spite of us yes , sir , In spite of us. There Is reason for shame. "The government of free Cuba must be re- jiubllean In Its form. It is impossible , In , the light of the refusal of congress to act , to say exactly what will be the relation of the United States to the new government. They ewe us nothing ; wo have done them no serv ice. " NEW YORK AGENTS PLEASED. NEW YORK , Jan. G. When Mr. Thomas Estrada Palma wan told of the report that Havana might bo In the hands of the In surgents he said : "It Is delightful but not surprising. I have known for some weeks that It was the Intention of General Gomez to mass his forces on Havana , and I presume he has done to and won. Though I hoard nothing official In regard to the patriot oc cupation of Havana , I am sure the dlspatcn Is true. "General Gomez has long entertained the plan of shutting off the water supply of Havana and then attacking the city. He has probably destroyed the reservoir at Vento and then charged upon the town. When c ' /Vento / Is destroyed the Spaniards In Havana wl Nf without any water supply , and com- plctfa 'surrender Is only a question of a very i t'hort tlmo. " Messrs. Aguamontc and TurJIlo , who arc both identified with the American Cuban Revolutionists society , were of the opinion that the patriots were In control of Havana and they believe thnt General Gomez had a Bt-ong force of allies within the walls of the city. Senor Balsamo , the Spanish consul , said lie bolleved the whole story to bo false : "How Is It a gang of half dressed rowdies overcome the great army ot Spain ? " ho asked , "It Is nonsense. Havana Is strong nd will never bo captured by the rebels and ' General Campos Is too good a soldier to allow his water supply to bo cut off. Even .If the Insurgents should gain n temporary foothold lirilavana , the Spanish troops would be safe In Castle Moro until the loyal gun- bouts put the rebel forces toflight. .

HAVANA , Jan. 6 , The Spanish officials assert that there Is no probability of any lighting In the near future between the Spanish trcopu and the Insurgent forces now around Havana. The captain general Is en gaged In bringing westward all the troops available , and until these movements are completed It Is not thought that the attack will be commenced , The Insurgents , according to advices re ceived from the outlying districts of Havana this morning , ' are now moving westward In the province of Plnar del Rio. although a number of them are etlll In the vicinity. At Managua , for Instance , about tnelve ml leu frcm here , the Inturgcnts are reported to tie In force , Onu of the Nunez brothers U between Ilurmedez and the water works at Vonto , which supply the city , and which ore still threatened. A strong force ot Insur gents la reported now moving northward train Salud and Alqulzar. Gcnrral Suarez Valdez anil Colonel Arlson arrived at Regla , across the bay from tulv city , last night. General Laque U In com mand of a strong force of Spanish on thr limits of the province of Plnir dl Rio and General Marln has moved liU forces frcm C lon toward the province ot Havana , and U expected to continue onward toward the province ot Plirir del Hlo , Rplnforcemtnts vf eraui.h troops are txpected shortly at BiUbano. They are being drafted there from the province of Santiago dc Cuba , LEFT DESOLATION BEHIND. Little- news la received In this city regardIng - Ing the movement ! ) of cither the Spanish or Cuban forcct , the lines of communica tion bilng cut In every direction out of Havana. Enough Is reported from points In the province cf Plnar del Rio , however , to show that the Insurgent columns have cov ered a wide territory In that province , and ara unceasingly destroying the sugar cane and damaging tobacco crops. At Cabanas , a rsaport town ot considerable Importance on the northern const , the Insurgents have de- utroycd the llRhthous'e. The destruction of Gulra Melcna , the- burning ot which was yesterday reported In these dispatches , seems to have been completeGulM Mclna Is air Important village .of 4,000 Inhabitants , situated In a fertile district. The report from there Mid the Inmrgrnts plundered the church , the business hoiu''s , the ttores end prlvnto residence1) ) , and then destroyed them entirely , They arc also said to have killed the mayor and n prominent merchant of tlio placet Similar talcn como from other towns In the route of the Insur gents' march. Ouara , a small village eart of Gulrn Mi'fna , and cast ot Qulnes , wat also burned. The mayor ot the Village ot San Felipe , It Is said , was Intent upon offering a vlgoroifs resistance to the Invasion of his town by the Insurgents. The mayor' ? temerity caused much surprise to Maximo Gomez , and his forces set about to burn the village. The citizens went to the mayor with a request that ho offer no resistance to Gomez , anil thereupon , says the report , he desisted. The zone Included In the country about the villages ot Qulvtcan , Dtirnnd and San Felipe , In the southern part ot the province of Havana , has been swept clean by tlie destruc tive touch of the Insurgents and the planta tions of Salvador , Julia , San Agm < tln , Santa Tcrcs , Mcrcsdlta , Mora and Mlrosa have been burned. Incoming trains from the south are bringing In vast throngs of rcfugEes" , men , women nnd children , someof whom have bsen burned out of house and home. This large Infusion of panlc-strtcken psople Into the city's population spreads a contagion ol alarm , and the force nnd proximity ot the In surrection becomes more rzal to the mind of Havana every hour. Last night a torpedo was exploded In front of the Corona clgnr manufactory In this city. No one was hurt and the fire that re sulted was extinguished without much dam age , but the Incident has n sinister look and Is n tangible expression of a thing that even Uho most hopeful citizens fear , nnd that Is an outbreak In the city of disaffected elements In case the Insurgents should come within reach of an effort at co-operating In such an attempt. Near Atarcs , also , a bomb has been .exploded. MASSING OF FORCES. There has been a massing of tro'ips ' In the northwestern portion of the province ol Havana today , which is Immediately west and northwest of Havana. There is some faint attempt to hold out a claim that this Is designed as a strategic movement to holi ! the Insurgents In Plnar del Rio , as In a trap , as was claimed would be done when the Insurgents broke throuc'i ; the line Into Santa Clara and again Into Matanzas. But there Is no robust conviction In the minds of oven tlio most hopeful of the authorities thai Gomez would not be ableto lead his troops out of Plnar del Rio when ho Is so minded or when any peril develops there for his army. It Is perfectly well understood that the troops taking position In the no'rthwcat- ern part of'th'o province are designed to pro tect Havana and to repel a possible attack by the Insurgent forces now overrunning Plnar del Rio. Beyond the fact ot the burning ot the lighthouse at Cabanas there has been llttl. additional new a of the course taken by the Insurgents in their advance Into Plnar del Rio. Loud dlsclalmrs are being uttered by ths authorities that they have any feai for the welfare of the city. It Is pMnted out that the city Is well fortified , being pro tected by the strong fortress Moro , and be ing garrisoned by the Cabanas Principe , Alarcs , Santa Clara and Relna troops , with heavy artillery , and by 20,000 volunteers' , with 40,000 mere loyal citizens In the city willing to take up arms. CAMPOS DI.SCUSSICS Til 13 CAMPAIGN. IteKretM Unit the Helii-lH Will Not Stand anil Make a Klulit. ( CopyrlKht , IfSC , by Press Publlslilnif Company. ) HAVANA , Cuba , Jan. C. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) General Campos received mo today In his private cf- flee , 'although he- was busily engaged , sur rounded by his numerous staff. The general Informed me In response to my Interrogation that the principal reason why Gomez l > a& been able to continue his raid successfully was that the country people" gave no in formation whatever to the Spanish genirals. The Cuban peasants sympathize with the Insurgents , and the Spaniards In the Interior are afraid to give Information of the rebels' movements. Another reason was that the Insurgents never show fight. "They avoid contact with my troops , " General Campos declared , "unless sometimes their rear guard was reached. Being per fectly familiar with the topography of the country , and used to constant exercise on horseback and on foot they have been en abled to maintain a wide gap between the soldiers nnd themselves. " I asked If the great deficiency In cavalry In his army was not an Important factor. "Undoubtedly so , " replied the general. "One reason , and the principal one for that deficiency , Is that the Cuban horse , 'the na tive flock , Is unable to bear the continuous strain of long marches. The Insurgents drop a number of animals every day and seize fresh ones. Ot course the government Is bound to respect private property and must go through the forms. The constant march ing of my Infantry has been extremely fatiguing. Some columns are exhausted. Ono large column arrived hero this morning after forty-two daya of continuous marching. Today Is their first day of rest. "I personally had experience in chasing tha Insurg-entB two days before Christmas. I pushed my column all day and was only able to overtake them at Collsco as night was drawing on. They showed a little- fight , because they knew darkness would protect them. I regret that the- Insurgents do not make a stand In battle. " Thu general appears to be In good health , but ho shows slgns.of the tremendous amount ot work he Iti doing. Notwithstanding hlx excesslvo carts , the old u > ldler < displayed the polltenem , candor and urbanity which lus always distinguished his Intercourse with HIM World correspondent. In my dltpitcliei Saturday via Key West I located Gomez near San Felipe and Mac o near San Jose de Las Lajas , the former point a Junction on the railway to Batabano , the latter about twenty miles routheast of Ha vana. Gomez moved swiftly across the coun try eastward , Ills advance guard struck th ? lowi ; of Gabriel , a place of 2.GOO Inhabitants , on the Western ralhvny of Cuba , at 1 p. m. Saturday , and demanded arms. The handful of volunteers In the guard lieu ? ; showed re sistance , and tha Insurgents Immediately pro ceeded to set fire to the town , which , with the exception of the guard house , was. re duced to ashes. At 3 o'clock the same afternoon Gomez's ad vance guard reached Gulrn , four miles beyond Gabriel , and to the westward , an Important station on the Western railway , having about I.&OO population , The rebel ! made a demand on the mayor for all the arms In the place. A small detachment of volunteers placed themselves In the church , and about twenty- flvo civil guard * confined themselves In the municipal building. At the urgent request of a priest , who begged then ) not to dese crate the caurch by lighting in It. the volun teers surrendered. The civil guard , made ot steniT stuff , refused , At n o'clock the entire band of GonUi nnd Maceo arrived , Th ; alcalde had made no reply to the- de mand to give up arms. He- stated afterward thst ho did not rcelve the written paper by which the demand waa communicated , Gomez Immediately gave the town over to pillage and fire. The place war , totally de- etroyed after b > | ng looted. All the- property of the railway company was burned. WILLIAM SHAW BOVVI5N , Iterel > dliy \ l ntterurVllllniu. | . BERLIN , Jan. C.

( CopjrlRht , 1R5C , by Press 1'uullahlnR Company. ) LONDON , Jan. C. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) South Africa so completely occupies the attention of the English that their controversy with us Is , for the day at least , forgotten. If It comes up again In Its serious form ot three weeks ago , It will be because Lord Salisbury Is too stubborn to learn the lesson of the German emperor's message. Thit the kaiser's telegram to the president ot the Transvaal means avowed hostility to England Is universally accepted. He flouts at Great Britain's suzerainty over the Trans vaal. To surrender that claim would be the mcst shameful concession In England's his tory for two centuries. The possibility ol It Is scornfully rejected' by the entire Eng lish press today , lory nnd liberal alike. But whllu that vital question remains unsettled , war with Germany Is constantly menaced. Nor Is the secession of the South African colonies made- much less threatening by the unexpected resignation , without full cxphna- tlon , ot Cecil Rhodes as premier ot Cape Colony. Prof. Edward Dicey contributes tc the press an elaborate communication , set ting forth for the first time publicly here tha facts outlined In the World's cnblo dis patches last Saturday.

While In ofllce ho way a responsible otllcial of the queen and could only traitorously coiu'plPe against her goverciii nt. Ills silence and Inaction whllo another lieutenant IB in mortal peril In the Transvaal remains unexplained. II ho has absolutely surrendered It must mean thaf ho hati lost his nerve , If not his faculties , The conviction that this Is not the cise Is fctlll general In London tonight , and that therefore the official dispatcher from South Africa do not tell the real truth of the sit uation. In any event , the complete Isolation ct England , In which there seems no possibil ity ot Improvement In the Immediate future , makes It quite Incredible that she will pur sue her quarrel with the United States while the threatening attitude of Germany , of Rus sia and of France is maintained. In the excitement of the complications In Africa to which day by day are added new problems and in the Indignant amazement over the kaiser's deliberate In suite , the pregnant revelations conveyed In Mr. Henry Norman's dispatches to the Chronicle have been passed over with slight attention from press or public. They must , of course.Jiow- ever , have their effect In moderating Lgrd Salisbury's future claim. As to Mr. Nor man's reference to the proposed treaty for the abstraction of the Bering Sea claims , I am Informed that Lord Salisbury's delay In replying to the president is due solely to Canadian objections to It. The documertt did not pass through the United States embassy here , and any communications in regard to it will ba through Sir Julian I'auncefote. WILL BE CALLED ON TO PAY. By a curious coincidence the first spechl ssttlement in the new shares of the British Chartered company begins Wednesday on the London Stock exchange. Thera t-hares were Issued last June , nt the nominal value of 3 ( $15) ) each , tiut large blocks changed hands at prices varying from G ( $30) ) to 10 ( $50) ) apiece , so that heavy differences will have to bo met on a market already weakened by recent slumps , and demoralized by the troubled .outlook In South Africa. The settlement , therefore , Is looked forward to with apprehension In financial clrelss. The South African marl'.et has been singu larly well maintained up to the present time , but the fear Is that If once a break OCCUEB It may eventuate In a general ftampede. " The demand strenuously urged In the lib eral Dally News and echoed In other quar ters for the annulment of the company's charter Is another serious element of the situation. Such action would certainly de- ftroy the speculative value of chartered chares , which has rested on faith In Rhodes' ability to poih the Interests cf the company by territorial aggrandizement , and by using all his Influence as tlio virtual dictator of Capo Colony for the benefit of the enterprise. If ths charter were revoked the ( company's affairs would ba placed for administration in the hands of a body of royal commissioners appointed by the government , whose policy would be to malw the company's Interests subservient to thosa of the Plate. But any proposed annul ment of the charter might bring Instantly Into action the project of separation from the mother country. WAS SEEKING ADVENTURE.

JAMESON'S I'l.AXS KAIMCI ) . K\ecled | ( lie UlltliiiiderN Would Come to ] | | N ANNlHdinee. LONDON , Jan. C , Events are moving with startling rapidity In South Africa. Details of the utter rout of Dr. Jameson and his forces are coming In elawly , but each fresh dispatch from Capo Town adds to the seriousness of the situation and incieases the extent of the disaster to the English forces. The first report ot the repulse pulseof Dr. Jameson by the Boera stated that twenty-four had been killed and the net of the little army captured. The next dltpatch Increased tlio number of killed first to thirty , then to seventy. ToJay a dis patch was received from Sir Walter Francis IK'uly Htitchlnson , K , C , M , G , , governor of Natal , stating , upon Boer authority , that In I lie engagement 130 of Dr. Jameson's fol low era were killed and 32 wounded , On the Boer tide , It Is added , only three were killed and fivu wounded. Dispatches received today from Capo Town give further details of the battle. From these dispatches It Is learned tint after Wednesday's light Dr. Jameson's column , originally composed of about 700 men , moved southward , fighting hard all the way thicughout the night and eventually reached VlaUvoIteln , blx miles from Johannesburg , on Thursday morning , when the column was completely surrounded by a force of 4,800 Boers. In spite of this fact Dr. Jameson's Followers fought stubbornly until noon , when all their cartridges were exhanstol , In addition , they had not tasted food for twenty-four haurt , and were worn out with Fatigue ! . But the white flag was not hoisted by Dr. Jameson's orders. It Is Ictionn that Dr. Jameson expected .000 Uittlandun. to join him at Krugersdcrf.

The excitement amounted to oipanlc. SIGNIFICANCE Ot ? TUB HAH ) . Tne true significance of tr. ) Janmon's raid Is now understood In nil Its terrible reality. England today realizes that a deliberate pur pose had been formed to Inaugurate a rebel lion on the South African republic against a free government which hail received tha for mal recognition of Great Britain. Dr. Jame son's raid , according to th bept belief here , was a part of a deliberately planned program of war against n friendly people. The- for eigners In the Transvaal were expected to rise up nnd Join Dr. Jameson , His raid was In effect a declaration of war ognlnn the South African republic. This view Is confirmed bj the dispatches received today from Johannesburg and which were delayed In transit. ; On Tuesday , December fSl , the foreign population of Johannesburgsohcted a cen tral committee which constituted llself a pro visional government for the town. Prepara tions were made for the dpfenso of the town against the Boers , The provisional govern ment sent an ultimatum to President Krueger - ger , who proposed a conference- Pretoria on the following day , Wednesday. The com mittee hesitated to go to Pretoria without n safe conduct. Dr. Jameson at that hour was dally ex pected at Johannesburg. Crowds cf people surrounded the Consolidated Gold Fields' ' building and the work ot recruiting was In full swing. Numerous people' ' lett ths town during the night In bands of fifty each. Liter the committee sent the following communication to Sir Hercules Robinson , UK governor of Cape ColonyVe : have abso lute Information .that a large body of Boers has bsen commanded to Immediately attack Johannesburg nnd shoot en sight all who have been concerned In the agitation. Af fairs are tv critical that wo sk you to In- tcrvenn to protect citizens \iho have long agitated legally their rights- All this took place on Tuesday , December 31. On Wednesday , January 1 , Dr. Jame son's forces were routed- and Dr. Jameson and his officers captured and -landed In Jali at Pretoria , where they are now awaiting trial and punishment by * the- South Afrlcir republic authorities. SOME ONE HAS BLUNDERED. Somebody has committed a blunder that amounts to a crime. * The'colonial cfllco Is In despcrats straits and ( s known to be making strenuous efforts to save the life ol Dr. Jameson , at the same ' time disavowing any and all responsibility'for his action. It Is now generally believed that the whole South African campalg ; } wast planned by Cecli Rhodes , pramler of Cape 'Colony. This be lief was strengthened' ' this 'morning by the report , which was afterwards officially con firmed , that Premier Rhodes had tendered his resignation and that It had .been accipted. Shortly after the conflrmatloq of Rhodes' resignation came the nnnonnc-iment that his successor had been appointed In the person of Hon. J. C. Gordon Sprlgg , K. C. M. G. , treasurer of Caps Colony. The new premier was colonial secretary and premier of Cape Colony from 1878 to 18S1 , treasurer from 1881 to 18SC , premier and treasurer Irom 1880 to 1S90 and treasurer from 1SOO on. He was barn In 1830. The statement cabled to the United States by a news agency that Dr. Jameson had b'on released from custody nt Pr'etorla Is officially stated to be without foundation In fact. All sort ? of rumors are In circulation today , dua to thedslay In receiving accurate news from Cape Colony. The report circulated on Sat urday that the Ulttlanders had risen and re- Bitted Dr. Jameson Is still In circulation , al though lt''had ' been coritrad'tcted ' mors than once. Then again , It Is stated that ths Brit ish governments hUrrylng' troops from , India lo Cape Town. But there" wpuld. seem to bs no necessity for such a step , as.a concen tration of 'military ' forces' from other British African colonies could bo quickly mads there If necessary. The following dispatch , evidently sent subsequent to a dispatch , which has not yet been received , and which would explain the reference to an armistice , has been re ceived from Johannesburg , dqtcd January 2 , at midnight : "Tho central committee of the National Union I ? bitterly Indignant at the terms which President Krusger has Imposed , and they declare that the- positions In which the Ulttlanders are placed Is due solely to the Imperial proclamation forbidding1 British sub jects to aid Dr. Jameson , Ths populace condemns the committee. General Joubert guarantees the safety of Johannesburg dur ing the armistice. SURVIVORS ARE DESTITUTE. "A dispatch received from Krugersdorf to night reports that the purxlvors of Dr. Jameson's force are In a terrible condition , having had no food or Bleep since Decem ber 23. " A dispatch to the Times from Capo Town says thirty-one Americans on tie- Rand havs told President Krueger that they sympathize greatly with him , but that they cannot help him unless he grants reforms. "Many resi dents have- begged President Krueger , " the Times' dispatch continues , "to avert outside Interference by coming to terms with the Nn- . " ' tlonil Union. Further dispatches were recMved every few hours on January 1 , and Indicate that Premier Rhoades , hearing of tho. rumor that 1,000 of the Rhodesia Horse were leav ing Buluawayo fqr the Transvaal , telegraphed to the commander to flop them. There are persistent rumors that Premier Rhoades has resigned on account of the Jameson action. A' meeting of the Germans yesterday de cided to send a deputatlonHo assure Presi dent Krueger of their loyalty , though they have grievances. They telegraphed to Em peror William through the German consul , Implorlnff him to bring pressure to prevent England from meddling In the Transvaal.

Ever since my childhood , I have been taught that the time would como when ths citizens of Utah would be accorded every political and civil right granted to their fellow citizens throughout the United States. "This Is tlio proudest day of my life , and when I Bay that I but express the feeling ; ; of at least a quarter million cf people , who all join In saluting the new star and giving tl.anks for the abandonment of territorial bondage for that more perfect government to be found under statehood. " ( Applause. ) Acting Governor Richards announced that President Woodruff was to have offered the opening prayer , but that the' state of his health was such as to prevent him from doing so. Ho had , however ) prepared , an Invocation , which was delivered by President QWfie..Q.Cannon. - , ' " ' The"great chorus of 1,000 voices'here arose and sang , amid the effective waving of Amer- loin flags , the "Star Spangled Banner. " This number was followed by stirring applause ori the part of the multitude within the Tabernacle , Chairman Richards here Introduce. ! , amidst uncontrolled applause and cheers , Hon. Jo seph L. Rawllus , who read President Cleve land's proclamitlon announcing the admis sion of Utah Into the union. After the proclamation was read Mr. Raw- llns turned to Heber Mi Wells mid presented to him the pen with which President Cleve land signed the bill under which Utah became u state. Acting Governor Richards then announced that the time had arrived for the federal government to withdraw from the control of affairs In the territory and surrender It to the people and to the native son of Utah , who had been chosen governor of the new state. He said : "As the governor of the territory of Utah , I now surrender to your favored servant the executive office upon his taking thd oath prescribed by the constitution , which wlli now be administered by Chief Justice Zinc. " Governor Wells and other state'ofilcsrs then took the oath of ofllce and the chorus rendered Prof. Stevens' new song , "Utah , I Love Theo. " Governor Wells then delivered his Inau gural address. The governor reviewed In detail the many efforts made by Utah to secure statehood , congratulated the citizens of the new state and paid tribute to her loaders. The cere monies closed with patriotic music. The Inaugural ball will bo held at the Salt Lake theater tonight. The delivery of this was received with applause , as was the rendition of "America" by the great chorus , after which Dr. Illff pronounced the benediction. PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.

At Just 10:1G o'clock last night the city council ot 1S95 adjourned slno die and left their desks to bo occupied by the new coun cil , which will meet for organization this evening. The last document considered by the old council was the resignation ot S. R. Gordon as councilman from the First ward , which was accepted on roll c.ill. The sosson ! was very like the usual last MJslons. Thora were the usual resolutions expressing tha thanks of the members to the retiring pres ident and to the clerk. There was n supplo- ilient In this ens1 ; * . In the shape of a long resolution , In which Kcnnnrd sought to fur bish up the record ot the retiring comp- tioiler. It was largely In the nature of a de fense of that ofilcUl relative to the charges , of Incompotency In connection with the recent treasury ? camlal. It recited the allegation that ho had conducted the business of his ofilco with comniendjrjla accuracy. It declared that It had never been customary for former comptrollers to count the cash In the treas urer's olllce , but that Olsrn was perfectly willing to do so It Bolln hail not refused to allow him uccfM to the cash drawer. It con cluded by averring the undlmlnlshed faith of the council In his honesty and Integrity. It was declared adopted. The most Important subject of consideration was the final reports of the fln-incc commit tee nnd the expert accountants on the treas ury defalcation. As was expected , the re ports showed that the shortage- was $11B- 1"7.7C , and they were simply adopted without discussion. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The committed on finance submitted the following report : Mr. President : After a ceaseless effort extending over n period of six months your committee llnds Itself nt Inst prepared to .submit n llnnl report upon the matter to which It was appointed , namely , n state ment of the condition of tha accounts of ex-City Treasurer Henry llolln. Thu ex hibits hcicwlth show the volume of busi ness transacted from the beginning ot Holln's llrst term up to thu dale of his re tiring from olllce , July 10 , lfcC ! , to be : Re ceipts , J9,193iaj disbursements , $9,822,747. Diligently , we may say hopelessly , has thli Investigation been pioseeutcd to llud In the KcnornT result n less Inmontnblu condition of affairs than the accompanying statement of the expert accountants shows. Every pos sible precaution has been taken to avoid the portability of error ; every transaction ot nny magnitude referred to in the exhibits bus been irene over , rechecked from lla beginning to Its conclusion. Having com pleted thu work we have to report u differ ence between receipts and dlfiburHuments ot $ H6,127.7G , to be accounted for by Jlenry llolln , late city treasurer. Of this amount all but $35,000 lias boon the subject of the , pnst month's Investigation nnd occurs In erroneously taking credit a second time for $77,700 bonds sold. In n former report your committee called attention to the recklet'8 disregard of busi ness methods In tbu treasurer's ollipo anil suggested such Improvements under the adVice - Vice of others , which wcro recently Inccr- poratod-lnto-nn ordinance and pa i d-by the council , as It Is be'.lavud will afford nmple protection ngulnft defalcation. Let us hope thnt this , our fliHt lesson , rnny prove to be our Inst. We have checked every bond transaction during Henry Bolln's let in ns treasurer , from the passage of the ordinances to money received nnd deposited in bank de positories , and find all properly accounted for , so far as receipts of proceeds of bond sales are concerned. Even the $77,700 pro ceeds of bond sales In question were en tered on deposit account with bank de * poritorles. But In the final statement tent the city comptroller tlio late city treasurer. Henry Bolln , erroneously , ns It appears , ciedited hlmse'f with this amount in the sinking fund account , claiming mich credit as an offset against n former charpe for tbe tame amount. The experts report that such credit Is not n valid one , but that mild amount t-hould stand chained against tha account of Henry Bolln , late city treasurer. For Information In detnll we. call atten tion to the reports of expcrtp herewith sub mitted marked exhibits. We recommend that nil papers be re ferred to the legal department for such action us the report of the experts here with pubnilt makes nccefsury. And wo further recommend that the late city treas urer , Henry Bolln , and his bondsmen bo given an opportunity to account for such shortage ns IF. reported by the experts , If It bo possible to do fo.
