national Poverty Of spain.

An idea of the inability of Spain to
much lsnger carry on her present war
for The sutjugatien of Cuba may be
formed from her financial exhibit for the
current year. The interest on the ma
tisnal debt is $32.O00,OO0. while the
other national expenditures are set down
at $4,000, 900. making total of $l49,-
0OO, 900. On the other hand the esti-
mated revenues are only Sl07, 10000,
leaving a certain deficiency of $42, 000,-
900, which may possibly be still larger,
even without further outlay in Cuba.
Borrowing is cut of the question. The
last loan yielded only thirty to forty
cents on the dollar. and that was taken
by Spaniards rather as matter of patri-
otto devotion than from the expectation
of return.
