This Address Scattered Throughout Matanzas
City is Calculated to Inflame the Pas

Trouble in the Future.
Havana, July 14.—Many Cul»an pa
pers Hally deny the existence ol‘ “plots"
against American visitors who retrain
here a few days and then return to the
United States, hut then? is undoubtedly
a considerable element who elite avor
to sow dissensions anion;' the Cubans
and use every means to array them
against the Americans. Even the prov
ince of Matanzas, which is supposed
to lie the most peaceable district, lias
such malcontents within its borders.
Recently 2,00 U leaflets were issued in
the city of Matanzas in the form of an
address to the p<*oplc in the following
vein:
‘‘Cubans, you men of honor whom
Spanish bullets respected and whom
fever and hunger only served to make
doubly strong, your mother country calls
you to make her stronger and grander
because there are those who wish to
humiliate her. You who have bun
proved in fray and hardships, you who
have helped to convert your family
hearthstones into bread, clothing, medi
cine or arms; you who have been ready
to give your very lives, even when you
would have left your adored ones to a
miserable orphanage, to know only the
pain of living by menial toil, their beu
tifill eyes full of tears; you whose wo
men were born to lie happy only as their
country is free —you, that mother asks
to bo ready to hurl from the country
the crafty Eagle, as you have removed
the haughty and hungry Spanish Lion.
"Let one thought only be ours. So
long as oirr Hag does not flutter from
Cape Maisi to Cape San Antonio there
will be only ruin, desolation and van
dalism /or our fertile fields, our rich
treasures, our wealth and beauty. The
Americans deceive us. They tyrannize
over us. They are masters of our palaces
and forts. They make a display of
wealth and power and reduce us to the
level of men without a count'y and
without a faith.

Perth Amboy Cashier Robs the Rank
and Surrenders Himself.
New York, July 14. —C.eorge M. Valen
tine, cashier of the Middlesex County
hank of Perth Amboy, X. J.. which was
closed today, has surrendered himself
and is now in jail on account of a short
age in the bank's funds which has been
variously estimated all the way to *l<sst
-000. The affair caused consternation
and dismay among the business men of
Perth Amboy, where the Middlesex
County bank was considered as strong as
the eternal hills. So panic stricken did
the residents of Perth Amboy become
when it was learned that the Middlesex
County bank bail failed to open for busi
ness as usual, this morning that crowds
surrounded the Perth Amboy Savings
Institution, but the run was of brief
duration. On Monday last Cashier Val
entine evidently concluded that he could
no longer conceal the shortage at the
Middlesex County bank. On that morn
ing he telephoned President Watson that
he was detained, but he said that he
would appear at noon. The bank bad
then opened for business and Mr. Wat
son. who was taking the absent cashier's
place discovered that there should have
been some $7dMH> in bills on band to
commence operations that morning.
These he could not And.
An investigation of the hank's ac
counts indicated immediately that they
had been juggled for months. It was
developed that Valentine had cheeked
heavily against the Park National Rank
of this city, a corresimndent of the Mid-
dlesex Iwtnk, blit tile figures on the stubs
of his cheek book did not cor respond to
those on the checks themselves, the
checks culling for more than the stubs
recorded. This method of financiering
ruined the bank.
Cashier Valentine returned to Perth
Amboy from a brief absence, and was
arrested.
President Watson is of the opinion
that the cashier's defalcation will
amount to at least $1 iifi.OOO. Where the
money went to is not known, as the
cashier is said to have been moderate
in his habits of life.
Valentine's bond was fixed for JjtoO.tHMt.
His relatives are wealthy, and it is said
they will endeavor to make good tin*
shortage.

WILL SURRENDER MRS. RICH.
Sin* Will be (liven up to the Mexican
Authorities for Trial.
Washingtoni, July 11.—Mrs. Rich is to
be surrendered to the Mexican authori
ties to be trieu for the murder of her
husband. F’or days past telegrams and
letters have been cowing to the Presi
dent and to Secretary Hay, sonic almost
hysterical in tne strength of their pro
tests against the extradition of the wo
man. It lias been represented that she
is insane; that there are impending phy
sical obstacles; that she is innocent of
the crime charged against her, and final
ly that it would be an act of barbarism
to place an American woman at the
mercy of •Mexican law and officialism.
All of these considerations have been
weighed, and it has been decided that
unless Mrs. Rich is surrendered there
can be no hope of securing the surrender
to our officers m the many Mexican hol
der thieves and criminals who plunder,
on our side of the line and retreat into
Mexico, so the precedent will he estab
lished.
