GENERAL CABLES

JAPANESE BANKS

(Australian & N.Z. Cable Assn.)

TOKIO. May 14. 1 The depositors’ demands upon the Bank of Formosa yesterday amounted to ten millions. In five of the larger banks the deposits far exceeded the demand, but a general summing up does not encourage optimism, as it discloses no general restoration of confidence.

ROYAL TITLE.

LONDON, May 14

A proclamation has been gazetted introducing the amended Royal title; It was formally read in the Royal Exchange.

EX-KAISER’S EXILE

BERLIN, May 14. The Nationalist Party have agreed to the prolongation for two years of the law for the protection of the German Republic, under which the exKaiser’s return is prevented. The Government is accordingly submitting a Bill to Parliament. EARL’S TWIN BROTHER. LONDON. May 14. The Earl of Malmesbury has announced that his twin-brother, Alexander Charles Harris, aged 54, has died in France in tragic circumstances. Harris failed to surrender to his bail in answer to serious allegations made in the London Police Court on March 29. A warrant was then issued for him, but the extradition laws did not apply to the offence with which he was charged.
