NEW YORK, June 27.-~Announcement was made shortly before 11 o'clock to-day of the failure of the Seventh National Bank. The initlative was taken by Comp- troller of . Currency Dawes. National Bank Examiner Forest Raynor was ap- pointed temporary receiver. The failure was not unexpected In bank- ing circles, though a surprise to the pub- lle, which had been led to believe that the institution was protected by funds advanced by E. R. Thomas and Edwin Gould. This vast amount of money, about $1,200,000, apparently went to meet Clearing-house debit balances. i A loan to the firm of Henry Marquand Continued on Page Three.

PEKING, June 2i.—Rev. the missionary and author, preaching at Tientsin on the anniversary of the reliet of that city (June 24), sald he thoroughly agreed with Sir Robert Hart in the statement that unless there was a com- plete " regeneration of China In a few years the country would be menaced by 20,000,000 Boxers. The Chinese would never forget that the Boxer movement was fully approved by the court. The forelgn Ministers at to-day's meet- ing’' discussed only minor points of the indemnity question. The British Minister, Ernest Satow, refuses to agree to the 10 per cent increase In the tariff in the event that Cbina finds herself unable to meet her payments. . The Russian Minister, M. "| de ‘Glers, has not yet agreed that-the in- terest on the indemnity be 4 ver cent. Arthur Smith, | | In variou HE army transport Kilpatrick arrived from Manila y last of the volunteers aboard. The “Fighting Forty-third” was the last regiment to leave Manila, but the men liked their qus s In the islands so well that many of them are anxious to go there Of all the vol- unteer regiments that went to the Philippines none saw as much active service as the Forty-third. Between Janvary 1 and December 31, 190, the regiment lost two officers and sixty-seven men in battle. The officers were Lieutenants John H. Evans and Jonathan Cilley. Of the men, one was hanged by the rebels i Samar, one was captured and beheaded in Leyte, one was cap- tured and beheaded in Samar, one was drowned, six died from bolo wounds and the erday with the in { others from various causes. From January 27, 1900, to December 31, 1900, the official list shows seventy-two officers and men wounded either in action or accidentally. Of these fifteen were wounded by bolos in the hands of the enemy and nine were wounded accidentally w Among these unlucky last was unfortunate Private John South, who redeived three gunshot woupds during an accidental engagement at Alang- basig, Leyte. One man figures in the list of seventy-two as having been severely clubbed by insurgents, and two were injured by falling into man traps, while an- other received a spear thrust. S On the other hand, the official returns show that in the various fights the For- ty-third killed 1693 Filipinos, wounded 325 and captured 1426 of the rebels. The reg- iment lost three horses, three rifles and three ammunition belts, while it captured from the enemy ninety-seven rifles, forty-two cannon, 357 rounds of ammunition and $27,900 in Mexican money. The regiment was in 2 ments in which there were casualties and sixty-one engagements in which no casualties occurred. Two companies, L. and M, of the Forty-third were recruited in California and safled from here in November, 1899. The other companies were recruited from all over the United States and salled from New York on November 16, 1899. The ertire regiment landed in Manila on January 1, 1900, and was at once sent to garrison the islands of .Samar and Leyte. As Samar is the third and Leyte the fifth in size in the Philippines, the amount of work the men had to do can bp imagined. At first elght companies were stationed on Samar and four on Leyte, but later two companies were sent from Samar to Leyte. Still later another regiment was sent to Samar and the companies of the Forty-third doing duty there were sent to Leyte, On May 29 last General Moxica and all his men surrendered, and on June 1 the regiment sailed for Manila and four days later started for home. From the colonel down every officer of the Forty-third has been under fire. The number of engagements in which each was the commanding officer s about as fol- engag: lows: Celonel Arthur Murrey 2, Major J. C. Gilmore Jr. 2, Major H. T. Allen 11, Major L. C. Andrews 4, Captain L. E. Hanson 20, Captain W. R. Beavers 12, Cap- tains Michael J. Spellman 4, George O. Duncan 21, John S. Fair 4, W. C. Dow 3, 1. E. Polk 2, W. B. Preston$, John Cooke 1, Harry M. Dey 2, F. C. Prescott W. L. Goldsborough ® First Lieutenants Robert Le Masurier 7, M. L. Avery 3, James W. Dutton 5, Joesph T. Sweeney 5, H. 8. Swann 4, Lorenzo D. Gasser §, Claudius M. Seaman 5, W. S. Conrow 5, Henry J. Stewart 3, Henry A. Thayer 3, Robert Sterrett 4, Michael E. Morris 4, A. E. Philipps 3, P. R. Jones 2, Second Lieu- tenants Gordon Johnston 16, W. H. Willson 5, George E. Steele 1, G. F. Andrews 7, J. L. Elmer 9, Charles C. Estes 44, Louls H. Leaf 1, John N. Truden 14, W. H. Burt 6, W. 8. Price 2, Walter M. Lindsay 9. The nen-commissioned having command in one or more actions were Sergeant Howard McFarlane 4, Sergeant Claude L. Bradford 2, First Sergeant Graham 2, and First Sergeants A. S. Haskell, Smith and Richard Howard, Sergeants q. P Doe, Strebler, Ray Hoover, D. L. George, W. J. Hall, Loomis, Lyons, T. M. Hall, and Corporals Overly, Macadam, Harbeson and Anthony Carson and Quartermas- ter Sergeant Kean, 1 each. Colonel Arthur Murrey is very popular with his men and a splendid commander. It was due to his disposition of his men that such excellent results were produced. In order to garrison two islands there had to be a great deal of scattering, but | each little command was so placed that it eould speedily call upon its neighbor for assistance. It was due to this fact that every officer in the regiment got a chance to do some fighting on his own account. Colonel Murrey is proud of his regiment and its record shows that he is deservedly so. 5\ Lieutenant Charles C. Estes, who was in forty-four engagements, has rilen from the ranks. From 1884 to 1889 he wa; private, corporal, sergeant and first ser- geant in the Third Artillery. In 188 he was a.captain in the Eighth Volunteer In- fantry and was mustered out in March, 18%. On November 2, 1899, he enlisted as a private in the Forty-third and two weeks later he was made a second lieutenant. The warmest engagement in which Estes took part was on Easter Sunday, April 15, 1899. With, twenty-four men he was holding the village of Jaro on the island ot Leyte. The men were quartered in the village church and everybody save the sentry was asleep, At 4 a. m. over 1000 Filipinos appeared before the church and ———— f \ Continued on Page Two. -
