BANK OF VENEZUELA
HUGE FINANCIAL SCHEME IN WHICH
AMERICANS ARE INTERESTED.
MimnesOtans and New Workers to he
Granted a Valuable Monopoly by
south American Republic.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 16.-It is
said that President Crespo. OF Venezuela,
has evolved scheme for the establish
ment of the Bank Of Venezuela, in which
American capital is TO be heavily inter-
ested, and TO which is TO be intrusted the
collection of taxes and duties. Donald
Grant, the Faribault, Minn., contractor,
told the story TO Journal man before
his recent departure for Caracas, under
injunction of secrecy, which is now re-
moved by a hint of the matter in yester-
days Washington dispatches. The bank is
TO have.a paid-up capital of $5,Co00o0, half
of which is to be furnished by the Nene-
zuelans and the balance by the Minnesota
men and their Eastern hackers i'm New
York and Washington. The bank will have
a complete monopoly Of the collection of
the taxes and duties for the entire country.
which it will be impossible for the govern
ment to draw out the Sums paid in duties
and in taxes except i'm small portions and
after notice, the effect of which will DE
TO keep the money i'm the bank for at
least a year. 1T will have certain rights
in the matter of State money, and other
will be control of government bond issues,
something which the English have here
tofore taken charge of.
The Venezuelan Congress will adjourn on
June 10. and the charter for the bank will
be granted before that time. 1t is ex-
pected that the bank will be running i'm
very short time, and that il will enter
on the collection Of duties at the earliest
possible date. This change has been made
in part by the action of Great Britain in
levying on the revenues of Nicaragua. The
officials of Venezuela desire to be protected
from any similar move i'm so far as the
bank. with an American interest, can pro-
tect them. President CreSpo and his ad-
visers were very anxious for Americans
to take hold of the institution, and they
wanted. above all, that the British should
have no interest in the affair.
