DISTURBANCE.

Havana, July 31.—In spite of tb© as
sertion made by Senor Yero, secretary
of the interior, that the killing of three
men and the capture of a fourth man
their leader, who had attempted to
cause an uprising in the vicinity ot
Bayamo, province of Santiago, ef
fectually ended the only semblance of
an uprising in Cuba, the rumors of up
risings in Eastern Cuba were fully
confirmed during the day In the gov
ernment's reports received from the
governor and other officials of Santiago
province. They are to the effect that
since Sunday last sixty armed and
mounted men have appeared outside
villages in the Cauto river district
proclaiming a revolution and demand
ing the payment of the former mem
bers of the revolutionary army. No
acts of violence have been reported
but the inhabitants of Cauto region
are excited.
The leader of the revolutionary
party is named Pupo. He is a brother
of one of the bandits killed by the
rural guard on Tuesday.
Will Enlist Volunteers.
General Rodriguez, commander-in
chief of the rural guard, has ordered
the mobilization of all the rural guards
in Eastern Cuba and the governor of
Santiago province has been instructed
to enlist as many volunteers as may
be deemed necessary to co-operate
with the mounted troops.
Secretary of the Interior Yero says
there is no doubt that the authorities
will be able to cope with the situation
as all the reports received agreed that
popular sentiment is with the govern
ment and that those who have risen in
rebellion mostly belong to the wanton
lazy class of Puerto Principe. It is
reported that many volunteers are of
fering their services to the govern
or, ant.
The military and civil officials have
not yet reported the numbers, loca
tion and doings of the reoels with any
degree of exactness.
Farmers who have arrived at Vic
toria de las Tunas, the center of the
disturbed district, report that they
have not seen any armed men.

tration during the ten years from 1885
to 1895, with the period from Aug. 20,
if898, to April 30, 1903, under American
occupation, shows the volume of busi
ness to have increased about fourfold.

DOYLESTOWN (PA.) NATIONAL
BANK CLOSED BY GOVERN

LOST LARGE SUM IN STOCK DEALS
INSTITUTION HAD MANY DEPOS­
ITORS AND GREAT EXCITE­
MENT PREVAILS.
Doylestown, Pa., July 81.—-The fol
lowing notice, signed by T. P. Kane,
deputy comptroller of the currency,
and J. W. Schofield, national bank ex
aminer, was posted on the door of the
Doylestown National bank during the
day:
"This bank closed and in the hands
of the comptroller of the currency
The posting of the notice caused
considerable excitement in the town,
as the deposits of the institution are
large.
The statement issued by the bank
examiner says that the failure of the
bank was brought about by specula
tions in stocks on the part of the offi
cers and a number of customers of the
bank.
Deputy Controller Kane says the
total loss will amount to $215,000.
Francis L. Worthington, a director,
said:
"The president and cashier ran
things to suit themselves. They had
no right to do so. I understand there
was some speculation—Consolidated
Lake Superior, I believe—and in that
stock most of the money may have
been sunk."
Ed H. Brock, cashier, declined to re
ply to the accusations of Mr. Worth
ington, saying:
"Our investments did not turn out
as well as we expected."
The capital of the bank was $105,
000 and the last report to the comp
troller showed surplus and profits
$131,780 deposits over $1,000,000
loans and discounts and stock and se
curities $1,051,360. The bank is one of
the oldest in the state.
STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR.
Advance of the First Hour Followed
by a Decline.
New York, July 31.—Irregularity
marked the course of the stock market
during the first hour. Some of the
standard stocks and a few specialties
advanced fractionally at the outset,
but pressure against Atchison and one
or two others of the active stocks
caused a general sagging throughout
the list. New York Central, Baltimore
and Ohio, St. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville, Atchison, Amalgamated
Copper, Virginia-Carolina Chemical
and a few others touched a level below
the previous night's closing by the
end of the first hour. There was a 12
point decline to 79 on one sale of Ev
ansville and Terre Haute preferred.
The short interest, while not specially
aggressive, seemed disposed to de
press stocks whenever the opportunity
offered.
Further declines were recorded to
wards noon, such specialties as United
States Realty, common and preferred,
Virginia-Carolina Chemical and United
States Steel preferred declining from
1 to 4% points. The pressure against
Atchison continued and Rock Island
common also sold off. Trading was
rather narrow and professional. The
demand for stocks, even of the high
lass, was merely nominal.
Among the few noteworthy features
of the early afternoon was the violent
break in a number of high class spe
cialties. Westinghouse common de
clined 12%, the first preferred 10, Pa
ific Coast first preferred 20. Evans
ville and Terre Haute 6 and Chicago
and Eastern Illinois certificates 5.

DOWIE'S NEW TEMPLE
Imposing Features of Proposed
Tabernacle For Zionists.
IT WILL SEAT SIXTEEN THOUSAND
Two Hundred Persons Can Be Bap
tized at Once In the Basin, Which
Will Be Filled With Flowing Wa­
ter Coming From a Waterfall.
Building to Cost $500,000.
John Alexander Dowie, head of the
Christian Catholic Church in Zion, near
Chicago, has planned for his capital on
the shore of Lake Michigan what he
says will be the largest tabernacle in
the nation devoted exclusively to the
worship of God. The structure will
cost half a million dollars and seat
16,000 persons. It will occupy a ground
space of 330 by 340 feet and will be
oriental in architecture.
Leaves of Healing, the official organ
through which Mr. Dowie talks to his
followers and to the world, gives the
following description of the tabernacle
in part:
'The great feature of the interior
will of course, be the auditorium.
The construction will be in the shape
of a horseshoe and must solve many
dillicult problems in the arrangement
of so many thousand seats, in ventila
tion and, most difficult of all, in acous
tics. The choir gallery will be made
to seat 1,600 persons. The speakers'
platform is to be elliptical in shape,
fifty feet long and eighteen feet wide.
"The seats in the choir and officers'
galleries will be arranged at an angle
suliicient to show the face of every one
distinctly to the audience. Back of
the choir and in line with the center
of the building a great pipe organ will
be built. The organ will be so placed
that the organist will face the au
ditorium.
'Two large galleries, in the shape of
a horseshoe, will be built in such a
manner that the public finding seats
there will be able to see plainly the
face of every one sitting on the plat
form. These galleries will seat about
8,400, the ground floor about 6,000, the
choir and officers' galleries about 1,600,
giving a total seating capacity of 16,
000 persons.
"Elevators will be provided at the
main entrance to lift the people to'
these galleries. On the east side of the
galleries will be Jour stairways, three

on the south side and three on the
north side one stairway at each one
of the four corners of the building
and two more In the rear of the choir
gallery. These sixteen stairways con
nect directly with the outside and as
exits will be of inevitable use in empty
ing the vast auditorium quickly and in
an orderly manner should the occasion
ever require.
"The dome of the auditorium is to be
constructed of steel and covered partly
with glass and partly with sheet metal
and at the highest point will be 100
feet from the ground floor. On the in
terior the dome will measure 192 feet
in diameter, varying in height from 100
feet on the sides to 135 feet from the
floor to the center.
'Electricity will be used in lighting
the tabernacle. Thousands of incan
descent lamps will be required.
"One of the most unusual and at
tractive features of the new Shiloh
tabernacle will be the baptistry. On
either side of the basement, directly
under the choir gallery, robing rooms
for the candidates for baptism will be
arranged, on one side the women, on
the other the men. Both rooms will be
70 by 58 feet in size.
On leaving the robing room the can
didates go directly to the riverlike bap
tistry by way of separate corridors, one
for men and one for women, entirely
hidden from public view until the large
stairways leading into the baptistry
proper are reached. Two hundred per
sons may be baptized at one time, and
so complete will be the arrangements
that 1,000 can easily be baptized in one
hour.
Candidates will enter the baptistry
from one corridor and pass through an
other on the other side to reach their
robing rooms after the ceremony.
"The baptistry basin will be twenty
feet wide and sixty-five feet long. It
is to be arranged with fio»vers and
shrubbery, while the water will come
from a waterfall under the speaker's
platform. The water will fall in full
view of the public, flow through the
entire length of the baptistry and pass
out of sight under the floor of the au
ditorium.
The building throughout will be a
harmonious and symmetrical combina
tion of great convenience and beaa^'*"
