Both officials presented long affi- davUs that they did not combine nor conspire to injure the bank and that the actions complained of were taken In the exercise of proper discretion and because of conditions in connec tion with the bank's management the propriety and sometimes the lawful ness of which they questioned. Secretary McAdoo in his affidavit made this counter-charge: “1 charge and aver the fact to be that my inclu sion in the suit Is due to ulterior and Improper motives and resorted to aolely to rthe purpose thereby utter ing and publishing grossly false and libelous statements under the privi lege and protection of judicial forms aad free from the legal accounta- btHty that would be otherwise tn- VOlTOd." _ Mr. Williams In his sworn state ment says that examination of the *Uggs bank by his office disclosed violations and the national bank act. that It was not so-much as commer cial bank aa one which lent money on atock collateral which was used in speculative ventures: that some of Ua officers and directors made false atataments under oath; that dummy loans so me times were made, the pro ceeds of which went to officers; that aeoM officers were engaged in real estate transactions; and that other things were done beyond Ita powers John Burke, treasurer of the Unit ed States, the third defendant, sub mitted an affidavit relating to the retention by him of |!<.0b0 Interest oa government bonds of the Higgs bfk. deposited with the treasury to aeon re Its note circulation Mr. Hurke said he acted In accordance wtlh law A number of tables, charts and their statistical data were submitted with the answers, each of which aaakea a small volume One gives s Uet of loans by the bank to former lee of the treasury, assistant a former comptroller of earrenry aad national bank ex Inert The* names of Leslie E w.

Complete Anarchy Reigns in Capital ot Republic—Spanish Warships to Protect Foreigners. Complete anarchy reipns in Lis bon, Portugal, according to news reaching Madrid, Spain, Sunday night. Fighting in the streets c^a- tlnues between the mutineers and the loyal troops. The bombardment by the warships has stopped, owibg to a lack of ammunition. The number of persons killed or wounded is said to have bqeo considerable. Many build ings were burned and the homes of known loyalists pillaged. The Madrid correspondent of the Fabree Agency says that the Spanish government on Saturday received from the governor of Badajoz, Spain, near the Portugese frontier, the fol lowing statement concerning the re volt: "The rebellion broke out at Lisbon aboard the cruiser Adamstorm, which, at 3.30 o’clock, bombarded the city, a band of two hundred civil ians stormed the Alcantara barracks. They entered the barracks cheering the republic. Many were killed and wounded. “The whole Republican guard re mains loyal to the government and has occupied the streets, squares and strategic points, scattering the crowds. Several bombs have been exploded. “The battleship Vlsco DaOama has left Lisbon on a secret government mission. “All railway and telegraphic com munication around tbe capital has been Interruptel. The Elba garrison remains faithful and has sent troops to Lisbon. At Santarem an artillery regiment bombarded the Twenty- fourth Infantry, whose losses are un known. Civilians set fire to a Brit ish cork factory at Portalegre. There has also been an outbreak at Oporto, where several people were wounded.’’ A Reuter dispatch from Lisbon says that the revolutionary committee hks Issued a proclamation stating that tbe object of tbe movement Is to restore a real republic. They desire a national government and. therefore, will hoist no party flag. They coun sel the people not to Indulge In re prisals. but to trust the national gov ernment, which "will act vigorously, but generously, towards the van quished “ Havas Madrid correspondent says that El Mundo published the follow ing regarding the Portugese revolt Saturday: “The signal for the outbreak In Lisbon was given by three shots fired In the street, to which the cruisers anchored In the port responded “Toward tbe end of the afternoon the whole city was In a tumult, shots* being fired everywhere. The wound- qd filled tbe arsenal. During the fuellade cries of ‘Down With Dicta tion!' were heard. Marines of all the vessels joined the movement, which was accentuated on the arrival of the officers of the veseela All the ships flew the flag of the republic.’’ The president of Portugal, Manuel de Arrtago, disappeared Saturday and has not been located. The Spanish government has determined to re frain from Intervention In any form In Portugal, and to continue Itself to the protection.

Devel opments of the utmost Importance are expected at the first meeting of the Salanadra cabinet Tuesday after the recent crisis in political circles, brought about by the refusal of a strong faction to subscribe to the doc trines of the Premier. King Victor Emanuel inspected troops at the bar racks at Rome Monday afternoon and was wildly cheered by many thous ands. The Meesagero, a popular newspa per, asserts that two special trains have been placed at the disposal of Prince von Buelow, the German am bassador, and the Austrian ambassa dor, von Macchlo, tfi anticipation of war between their country and Italy.

The Brit ish claim that the German line was broken down over the greater part of a two-mile section is disputed, how ever, by the German war office, which says all attacks of the allies were repulsed. The operations now In progress are characterized as the most important of any since last fall. A Berlin dispatch says the Rus sians have suffered very heavy losses in Galicia, notwithstanding their de nials. The Austrians apparently have made a further slight gain blit the Russians, strongly placed on the river San, are offering stubborn re sistance. A great battle Is expected along the river. liunrion reports: Should the expect ed action of Italy—early entrance In to the war—materialize, the allies will be In a better position than ever to launch their big offensive move ment against Austria and Germany which Is being preceded on the west ern front by a series of attacks, fur nishing a foretaste of what is to come. Scarcely had the German attacks on the British lines around Ypres ex hausted itself and the French offen sive north of Arras shown signs of coming to,an end than the British be came the aggressors north of I-ahes- see. and tbe French and Belgian troops began their attempt to throw the Germans back from the Yser canal. There does not appear to be much change in the general situation In Galicia, although the Austro-German armies have been able to make an additional slight advance by the with drawal of the Russian rear guards, which have been holding off tbe vic torious troops until tbelr own armies could get Into new positions behind the San River. This territory prom ises to be the scene of another big battle, for the Russians, strongly re inforced, will make a desperate effort to stem the tide which has been run nlng so strongly against them In Galicia th« Austro-German rush seemed to have exhausted Itself when the river Sann was reached and all the towns on the west bank of that river fell into German hands. This compelled tbe Russians to /all back In southern Poland, so that their line now runs from Flock, on the lower Vistula southeastward to Przemysl. thence south and east through east ern Gallela and Bukowlna to the Roumanian border. At the latter end of this line the Russians still are pursuing their of fensive and have driven the Austrians back In disorder for some twenty ‘miles but they th'emselves are being forced out of the Carpathians and are In danger of losing Przemysl as the Austrians and Germans are to the north and south of that city. Vienna reports: “The Russian armies in Poland and Galicia con tinue to retreat along the w hole front From Nowemiasto, on the Pillca river, to the south of Dniester, In the district of Dolina, the. allied armies are advancing. "On the San river our troops have captured I^udnik and Lezaysk. The Germans have 'occupied Jaroslau. “In middle Galicia the Austro-Hun garian tenth army corps is standing before the gates of its native tawn— Przemysl. Further south Dobomil, Stary Sambor and Boryslau are again in our hands. The allied army under Gen. von Linsignen has reached the heights southwest of Dolina. "On the Pruth line the Russians are still attacking. In severe fight ing in the north of Kolomea infantry from Carintha and Stryia have re pulsed all Russian attacks.” Vienna reports: “Our armies con tinue to advance from the wooded Carpathians. A strong Russian rear guard was dispersed in tlje region of Magiera. We took seven guns and eleven machine guns and captured more than one thousand prisoners." Berlin reports: -,"A Russian ad vance in the region of Shavlj, Cour- land, was repulsed easily. The num ber .of prisoners taken there during the last few days is more than 1,500. ‘On the Dubysa river, northeast of Cglany. a small division of our trotips (t'ontinued o nlast page.) Premier Ana ounce* Intention to Re construct Government to House of Commons Wednesday._ Premier Asquith announced in the House of Commons Wednesday that stdps were .in contemplation which involved a reconst uctlon pf the gov ernment upon a broader personal and political basis. It has been settled definitely some form of cabinet reorganization has been agreed upon, but the precise form of the change will hot Tbe known publicly until Premier Asquith ready to announce his plans. There li a widespread belief t although Baron Fisher has tendered his resignation as.first sea lord, some arrangement will be made to enable him to retain his post under the new first lord of the admiralty. If he does not assume the first lordship himself. Regarding the lord chancellorship, the question is raised whether Lord Reading could take the position on account of his Jewish faith, as th< lord chancellor Is "keeper of the king’s conscience." All parties are working earnestlj to mobilize the strong men of Eng land and bring about the solutioi best calculated to enable the countrj to pursue the war. * ... Persistent rumors are In circula tion in the lobby of the British Hous< 1st leaders held a conference wltt Premier Asquith Tuesday afternoor and it is stated that a question oi coalition was settled. According to these reports the all ocutlon of offices has not been final!] determined. It Is rumored that A. J Classified Column and Fanners Exchange Ing some other office. Announcements of the cancellat of the cabinet council, which 1 been summoned to meet at noon; the postponement of Chance! visits of Mr. Churchill and othei ministers to Mr. Asquith all served to give color to these reports. The resignation of the veteran sail of the admiralty, could not work to gether, Is probably the first step to ward a sweeping reorganization of the British government. Premier Asquith will remain at the head of the government In any event with Ix>rd Kitchener and Sir Edward Grey, respectively, the war foreign ministers, in undisputed possession of their present posts, while David Lloyd-George. the chancellor of the exchequer, and Mr. Churchill, prob ably will take new positions. "The government has definitely sought the co-operation ot the oppo sition and opposition loaders have in principle consented to Jbtn them.” says the parliamentary correspond ent of the Times in discussing the proposed coalition cabinet, "but noth ing is likely to be decided until the unionist leaders have obtained the formal backing of their followers at a party meeting." » All the morning papers agree that the government's Increasing difficul ties led them to seek the co-operation of unionist leaders. The trouble between Winston Spen cer Churchill, first lord of the admir alty and l.»rd Fisher resulted from the British cabinet sanctioning the first naval attack on the Dardanelles In ignorance of t/ie fact that the sea lords were opposed to na-val opera tions unsupported by a land force. I.ord Fisher felt acutely the dis credit of the sea lords thus Involved and decided to resign. Faced with an acute misinterial crisis accompa nied by angry parliamentary debates to seek a coalition with the unionists Among the latest rumors Is one to the effect that Lord Kitchener is to become generalissimo and that David Lloyd-George will succeed him at the war office.

Record breaking cargoes passing through the Panama canal in March, according to war department statisti cians, would have filled approximate ly eighteen hundred freight trains of twenty cars each. These trains, it is estimated, would have totalled 275 miles in length or filled five paffellel tracks from Panama to Colon. • Had this freight been transported across the isthmus in freight trains it would have required a train' every forty-eight minutes, or fifty-eight trains a day. i The cargo handled in March through the canal aggregated 635,- 057 tons. This is about ninety-nine per cent, of the through freight haul ed over the Panama railroad during the fiscal year ending last June and forty thousand tons more than t-he through freight handled by the road during the previous fiscal, year. ! - Holland to ArnTHeavUy.
