taxes paid by each. The directors stated
that the Casino would also take steps to
introduce the plan to the consideration
OF the property and moneyed men in the
interior OF the island. There was con.
siderable discussion at the conference,
but no resolution was adopted. The
proposition meets with much opposition.
The distribution OF the untaken bonds
among the taxpayers is regarded in the
light OF forced loan, which is all the
more Objectionable as it falls heavily on
the wealthy Glasses. The street people
denounce it. declaring that coercion to
take the loan is against their interests,
as well as contrary to law. Informal
meetings OF foreign and Spanish mer-
chants have been privately held, at
which it was resolved to oppose the plan.
and the foreign C0nsuls will protest, in
case it is insisted upon. Prominent
Spaniards represent that the object is to
make those patrons who boast loudly of
their devotion to Spain, and are slow in
affordiDg real support to her interests,
to take some share OF tho burdens i'm.
posed by the war for the preservation of
their oountry's power.
