C, Nov. IS1 Secretary Shaw today announced a call upon national banks holding deposits of public funds. The formal letter of in structions to the - banks covering the call will be issued this week, and wi" direct the return - to the treasury of 25 per cent, of the deposits held by the banks, 10 per cent on or before Jan uary 15, 1905. and 15 per cent on or before March 15, 1905. This will include all banks except a few active depos tories where the amount of the deposit is relatively small as compared with the amount or business handled for the government. The secretary estimates that this will bring into the treasury in the neighborhood of $25,0C0,00O, which will maVe a working balance of approxi mately '$50,000,000. Tokio, Nov." 18. A telegram from Moji reports the destruction of an other Russian arsenal and magazine at Port Arthur. The Japanese discov ered, it is said, the location of the arsenal and centered their artillery fire upon it. After dropping 200 shells in the locality they succeeded in blowing it up. The Japanese are widening their saps and are using them to move their guns forward. .. . The Russians continue their spirited sorties, using hand grenades in their attacks upon the saps. A dispatch from Yingkow says that the Russian left wing fell back today and joined the main body at . Peitao pao, apparently to engage the Japanese centre. The Japanese right army im mediately advanced beyond the posi tions abandoned by the Russians. The Japanese left army- began operations simultaneously. The Sha river is frozen to a depth of five inches. Dispatches from Seoul say that the Russians are occupying Hamcyondo, in the northern portion of Corea, are in vestigating the collection of taxes and otherwise administering the province. It was known as early as the be ginning of last month that the Cos sacks were raiding in the province of Hamcyondo, and October 11 General Hasegawa, the new Japanese com mander in chief in Corea, issued a proclamation placing it under military law. . ' The above, however, is the first in timation that the Russians are in full possessions -of the province. St. Petersburg, NovJ 18. General Sakharoff reports that last night the Japanese attacked the' Russian posi tions on Putiloff, formerly known as Lone Tree hill. The Japanese have made several desperate attempts to take Putiloff hill since It was taken from them October 18. Chefoo, Nov. 18.'

It is stated that the czar has received a telegram from General Stoessel declaring that he will be able to hold Fort Arthur until the arrival of the Baltic fleet in, March if he can be supplied with, stores and ammunition. All the main, forts are intact and the garrison la sufficient for the defense of the for tress. It is stated that the govern ment has instructed its agents abroad to furnish General Stoessel with the necessary supplies at all cost. Another version of the dispatch la that General Stoessel informed the czar that he can hold out for several months and that he "attaches no con ditions for holding the fortress.

DEAD IN A BUGGY Two Lives Sacrificed to Un !awrul Lnve Detroit, Mich., Nov. IS. Two night policemen in Wyandott, twelve miles down the river from Detroit, early to day discovered a horse and buggy standing at the corner of Fourth and Oak streets, with H. J.. Hildebrand and Mrs. W. J. Miller of Detroit lying dead in the buggy. Both were shot through the heart. It is considered by the authorities to be a clear case or murder and suicide. Whether Hilde brand or the woman fired the shots is unknown". A letter found on Hildebrand's per son written to him by the woman while he was in Chicago a short tims ago, told of an intimacy between tlie two and warned Hildebrand that he must be careful of her husband, who, she said, had threatened to shiot him if he returned here. Both bodies were slightly -warn-when taken to . the undertaker's, soon after their discover Indicating thnt the shooting took place . a compara tively short time before they were found. Hildebrand was a barkeeper. Mrs. Miller had been married only a year and a half. Her husband says he be lieves her refusal to elope with Hild's brand led him to shoot her and com mit suicide. Miller says his wife told him that Hildebrand had threatenea her life once before when she refuse J to accompany him to Chicago, Attempt to Overthrow the Government Frustrated by the Forced Resignation of the Commanding . General of the Army Panama, Nov. 18. An attempted military coup d'etat here was discov ered and frustrated in its incipiency, and matters have now assumed a definite shape, promising a peaceable solut-on. When President Amador learned of the plot he immediately ap plied to the American legation for as sistance in upholding the government. General Huertas, chief commander of the army, was the prime mover in the conspiracy to overthrow the gov ernment, and he was warned by Mr. Lee, the American charge d'affaires, not to make the attempt. Mr. Barrett, j the American minister, arrived here Wednesday on his return from the United States, and held a conference with President Amador. The latter, acting on Mr. Barrett's advice, de manded the resignation of General Heurtas on the ground that he was guilty of insubordination and of in citing mutiny in the army against the ; government. General Heurtas resigned today. Steps will be taken to disband the army, which is regarded as a source of possible revolution. The American squadron will remain at Panama for the present. One company of Ameri can marines, which was stationed at Emperador, has been sent to Ancon, where it will remain until everything is quiet. No rioting here. It is be lieved there is no probability of fur- thor trouble. Mr. Barrett is determined that order shall be . maintained, and he is sup ported by Rear Admiral Goodrich and General Davis, governor of the -canal zone. The co-operation of the squadron and the use of the American marines were due to a request made by Presi dent Amador. ! It is conceded that General Heurtas, in conspiring against the' government, ! was acting as an instrument of out : side disaffected politicians and not as !a representative Panaman.

The movement was similar to the attempt made by General Vas quez Cabo,. formerly the commander of the army, to overthrow Governor Duran July 25, 1903. been appointed to the supreme com mand of the troops. " ,' ' Everything is quiet now. Censorship on telegraphic mesaageyi has just been suspended. General Huertas, in the letter tendering his resignation, protests against the charges brought against him, saying' that he and the troops have been loyal, but that under the, circum stances (referring to American inter vention) and though they would dear ly like to fight, in order to prevent bloodshed and to prove once more his love for Panama, he resigns his of fice. The Isthmians deplore the event, because General Huertas modesty and reputation for not being ambitious had made him very popular. Few at Work in Mills Fall River, Mass., Nov. 18. A few mills are in operation with small forces, but many reported gains to day and the agents hope that by the first of the week they wilL have a goos working force. In all probability there will be another general opening of the mills Monday, morning. If no better results are obtainable than those of the past week it is more than probable that many of the plants will close indefinitely. Coming to an Agreement London, Nov. 19. The newspaper continue to give great prominence to ' the Anglo-Russian settlement.' Ac cording to the most trustworthy infor mation it is progressing satisfactorily.' Sir Charles Hardinge, the British am bassador, assured the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Standard yester day afternoon that the negotiations were going on smoothly. Nothing has yet occurred to cause alarm. The facts seemed to be as already stated. Some differences in interpretation had caused delay, from which fact tha scare-mongers drew unjustifiable in ferences. These had produced anxiety in Eu rope for a time, but the matter could now be regarded as involving nothing; serious. ' Quiet Reigns on the Isthmus Panama. Nov. 18. General Huertas, the general minister, resigned today and President Amador, by a decree, accepted his resignation, leaving Huertas the rank of general unat tached, but with a salary which Is equivalent to a pension. - The army w'll not be disbanded just now.
