London, Dec. 24.—A Madrid dispatch
says: "In order to secure the success
of the next loan the government is
straining every nerve to to conceal the
true situation in the Philippines. The
whole colony is in revolt, and scattered
bodies of Spanish troops have been
hemmed in by the rebels. It is ru-
mored that a certain proportion of
lierman reserve officers are in the in-
surgent ranks.
San Francisco, Dec. 23.—Private ad-
vices from Manilla. Philippine islands,
reached here to-day and are verified by
an account that appears in the I long
Kong Press, received per Belgic. The
news contained in the communication
deals w.th the attack of the Spanish on
the Noveleta isthmus, and the at-
tempt of the Spanish to dislodge the
insurgents in Cavite and Vie jo. At
the end of the campaign, which lasted
until the 14th of November, the Span-
ish authorities sent out dispatches re-
porting that the attack had been suc-
cessful. and that the reb/1 loss was
very heavy. The Spanish claimed to
have lost about 25 killed and 100
wounded. It is now learned that the
great victory that the Castillians pre-
dicted ended in ignominious defeat.
The rebels held Noveleta against war-
ships and troops. The Spaniards re-
tired after suffering heavy loss.
SPAIN WILL NOT ANSWER.
LEFT TO THE LEGISLATURE
Oovprnnr-Elect l.ecily \%lll Not l.eatc
| Offices \uc.«nt.
Topkka, Kan.. Dee. 24.—Governor-
elect Leedy has given notice that he
i will close his office to-morrow after-
noon and will hear no mow anplieu-
j tions for places until after New Year's
i day. lie will spend Christinas with
, his family in Lawrence.
1 Mr. Leedy said that he had decided
to appoint an adjutant general. This
I is one of the offices of the state govern-
ment there is talk of abolishing alto-
gether, or materially reducing by mak-
ing the incumbent simply a clerk in
the governor's office and requiring him
to do all the work, but there is such a
demand for the place that the govern-
j or-elect says he will probably make an
appointment, leaving it for the legis-
lature to continue the place or abolish
it altogether.
! On Hob Semple's roster of the patri-
' ots who want office are said to be
nearly 100 who want to be adjutant
general. They are from all over the
state. Many of them are old soldiers,
and some are just common militiamen.
Mr. Leedy said incidentally in dis-
cussing the policy of appointing an
adjutant general, that he had about
decided to shift on the legislature
much of the responsibility of contin-
uing or abolishing some offices which
are regarded us useless.

Chicago, Dee. 24.—On the night of
December 10. a <juarrel occurred be-
tween Frank Dugtin and Thomas Tay-
lor. durin" which Taylor struck Dugan.
The latter drew a revolver and shot
Taylor in the left side of the head near
the temple. Taylor went to the office
of a physician, who dressed the wound
but who was unable to find the bullet.
Taylor's testimony was unsupported
when he appear^.' in court, and when
Chicago, Dec. 24.—•'Never did I see
on the book kept for the purpose of
informing the directors of the bank as
to who were the applicants for loans
the name of the Calumet Electric rail-
way." said Director Page of the defunct
National Hank of Illinois to-day when
asked how such large loans were made
by the bank and ostensibly given with
the sanction of the directors.
Mr. Page said as to the manner in
which the business of the bank, as far
as the directors were concerned, was
conducted: "The directors appointed
from among themselves what you
might term for convenience sake
an auditing committee. The plan
was to let one director drop out
each month, some other taking his
place. Kach day the committee would
meet at the hank, its business being to
pass upon the applications for loans.
A record of these applications was
kept in a book designed for the pur-
pose. In this book was also kept op-
posite the name of each applicant a
record of the collateral offered to ef-
fect the loan. When the committee
w; s ready for business Mr. Schneider
wouid come into the rootu. bringing
with him this book and with it an-
other book in which was recorded the
daily balance of the would-be l or-
rower and also a record of how much
he had previously borrowed."'
t.h . .1
,,u
-hot* had been fired during the en-
counter ami that Dugan had only
struck Ta.v or on the head with the
revolver, it appeared that no case
could be made out.
City Prosecuting Attorney Ingram
then introduced W. C. Fuchs. who said
that he had taken an X ray photo
graph of Taylor's hi ad a few days
after the alleged shooting and had
found the bullet near the left temple.
The photograph, showing a full sized
head of Taylor, was then shown to the
court. The features of Taylor were
visible, and a round black spot marked
the p *tee in the man's head where the
bullet now lit s. Justice Kehoe. at the
suggestion of Prosecutor Ingram, al-
lowed the introduction of the photo-
graph as evidence.
The attorney representing Dugan
was taken so completely by surprise
at the introduction of the photograph
by Prosecutor Ingram that he agreed
to a eontinnenet when it was suggested
by Justice Kehoe.

••You say that Mr. Schneider used to
bring this in?"'
"Almost invariably. Seldom was
Mr. Hammond before the committee.
At mid times he would be called in to
answer some question as to an appli-
cant's business or to clear up a |H int
about some collateral offered, but Cap-
tain Schneider was almost always the
bearer of the books. The committee
| would look over the l ooks caref*. lly.
| and in some instances refuse to sanc-
tion a loan. In others the loan asked
' for would W cut down, and in cases
I where the applicant and security were
nil right the accommodation was of
| course granted."
"Did the committee never ask to
I see the actual collateral offered or did
i they simply take the word of Mr.
Schneider or Mr. Hammond that the
security was actually in the bank and
actually what it purported to be in
j the memorandum book?"
I "We had been in business with Mr.
Schneider and Mr. Ilatnmond many of
us for thirty years. To have made
such a demand of them would have
been a personal insult."
"Were not the suspicions of the com-
mittee ever aroused by the large sums
loaned to the i aluinet Fleetrlc?"
"Never did I see the nxme of the
Calumet Fleetric railway api*"ir on
; this book as an applicant for a loan."

Hammond's connection with the tin-
e*plaitied t ransactIons?"
