Spanish Project to Bolster Up tn,
Finances OF Cubs.

1t has been seen for some time past that the
financial affairs of the island of Cuba were get
ting into desperate condition. The notes Of
the Bank of Havana, which show how the
credit of the Spanish government in Cuba
stands, have long been at q discount and are
tending all the time to further depreciation.
The enormous cost of the war against the
Cuban patriots has strained the capacity of
both the colonial and home treasures to the
utmost. The destruction of property, reduced
production, damage to commerce and the diff
fculty of raising sufficient revenue in the
island, caused by the war; have forced the
Spanish government to extraordinary meas
ures for raising money. Our cable de-
spatch from Madrid, published yester-
day, informs us that when the Cortes
reassembles in September the government
will submit project for a loan of sixty mil
lions of dollars, to be devoted to the improve
ment of the finances of Cuba. The bonds are
to bear eight per cent interest, and a sinking
fund is to be established for the cancellation
of this debt. OF course the interest and sink
ing fund are to be drawn from the revenues of
Cuba, as the despatch States for Spanish
finances and credit are at o lower ebb than
those of Cuba. We think this proposed loan
will be literally sinking fund, for it will sink
in the abyss of the civil war in the island, never
to be seen again. The revenues Of Cuba, as
far as Spain is likely to have control of them
in the future, will become less, probably, every
day. 1t will be difficult to negotiate, we
think, loan Of sixty millions ON this basis,
and if even it can be negotiated, the terms
must be of a ruinous character. 1t is, in fact,
one of the last and desperate expedients of
power that is continually becoming weaker in
Cuba. If Spain were wise she would
20 no further in debt to bolster up
Cuban finances or in hopeless
attempt to perpetuate her rule over the island.
Instead of raising loan for such purpose
she might fill her depleted treasury by selling
Cuba 10 the United States. In continuing the
struggle with the patriot Cubans vast debt is
accommodating which must prove disastrous to
Spain, whereas, if the Spanish government
would open its eyes to what Is seen plainly by
all the rest Of the world--to the fact that Cuba
must, ct no distant day, cease to be colony
of Spain-and would accept hundred mil
lions or hundred and fifty millions from this
country for the island, it would be o great
advantage to both Spaniards and Cubans.
This is the best way to raise money, not, how
ever. to fight the Cubans. but to build up

Indifferent to the one and the other. It was
for some too good news for belief when it was
announced that Stanley had actually found
Livingstone. 1t was not to DO believed until
Stanley himself returned; and now that
Stanley has returned it has been found con-
venient to question the genuineness of his

The North Carolina Eleotio n-The r.
suit StiN In Doubt.

suit Stin In Doubt.
The result of the North Carolina election is
still in doubt, SO far as the State ticket is con-
cerned, although it seems to be conceded on
all sides that the democrats have secured a
good majority of the State Legislature and
probably a majority of the Congressman. The
reports differ so widely and, according to our
special dispatches from Raleigh, the returns
come in so unsatisfactory that it is impossible
to make any calculation on the figures at
present received The republicans continue
to declare the result less disastrous than their
opponents represent, and Judge Settle tele-
graphs to the Secretary Of the Interior at
Washington claiming his own election
and that of four other republican
Congressman. On the other hand the
reports at democratic headquarters in
dictate certain democratic majority
of from eight to ten thousand on the State
ticket and the election of six Congressman out
Of eight. If the Associated Press reports are
correct the chances still favor the success of
the democrats in the State by small majority.
1t is at least certain that the contest
has been q close one and that there has
been heavy republican loss in the State.
The returns of the present election are
compared with those of 1870, when the demo-
cratic candidate for Attorney General was sue
cessful by about five thousand majority but
that was an exceptional result and a fairer
basis of comparison would be the last vote for
Governor. when the republican majority was
eighteen thousand 1t may yet be several
days before the result is known, and
should the vote be very close the advantage
will be with the republicans, who hold in their
hands the machinery of the canvass and who
keep possession of the returns. 1t is, how
ever certain that, whatever the official figures
may be, the North Carolina election reads a
lesson Of warning to the administration, and
shows clearly the necessity Of change of tao
tics before the great battle of the campaign is
fought

THE RIVERSIDE PAEK.-The report of
the last appointed Commissioners Of
Estimate and Assessment in the mat
ter of the Riverside Park was yesterday
confirmed by the Supreme Court, General
Term. This park, as proposed to be laid out,
will extend from Seventy-second street to
130th street, with its western boundary on the
wavy line vacilahng between the Twelfth
and Eleventh avenues. The boundaries thus
fixed are endorsed by the Court as
also the area OF assessment and the
amount the latter aggrcgating about
six millions of dollars like approval
is expressed Of the awards to property owners
within the proposed park limits-a subject
owing to the dissatisfaction Of many as
to the awards allowed them, that more
than anything else has induced to the
lengthy litigation in the courts. In its deci-
sion, which will be found in full elsewhere,
the Court, as will be seen, has also passed
upon the constitutional validity of the pro
ceedings and overruled the objections inter
posed under this head The effect OF this
decision will be to give an impetus to rea
estate transactions in this vicinity, which
while this matter was in allegiance in the
courts, extending over period now Of -four
years. were completely mt standstill. Rea
estate here, in fact, has during this time been
trembling in the balance. Neither property
owners nor those wishing to buy knew what tc
do. The present decision dispels all doubt
and feeling of mutual security is the result
