FALL OF THE GOLD RESERVE.
THE TOTAL NOW REDUCED TO
S02, 2,7O5, ,O67.

The Figures Reached by n With

Export TO EurOpe-WeII Informed
Treasury officials Not Fearful of n
Wholesale Exodus, and Don't Look
for "a Bond Issue-An Expectation
That the National Banks of New
York VIII Come to the Govern
ment.S Assistance Next Week.
washington, Sept. 27.-The treasury gold
reserve has been reduced to $92, ,705O67. at
which figures it stood when the treasury
closed its doors to-day. These figures
we're reached to-day by a withdrawal at
New York for export of $l,500OO0.
Since the present export gold movement
began on July 1S last there have been
Withdrawn from the United States treas
ury S32 $4,000 in gold. all of which, with
the exception of less than $1.OOOOOO, has
been sent to Europe. The total gold ex-
ported exceeds these figures, as some gold,
especially the gold bullion exported, was
furnished by the banks of New York
During the same period gold was fur
nished by the syndicate and by the New
York national banks and others to the
amount Of Sl5.325,0 900. The figures to which
lne treasury EOlu ItSCINE nave AlOW b00u
reduced by incessant exports are lower
than since April 30 last, on which date
they were stated at Ssl. .247, IA. Under the
syndicate agreement gold was then be-
ing paid into the treasury and from that
date the reserve increased up to June %,
when it attained its maximum hight this
year standing at $107, ,5l2, 362. From that
time the gold reserve has gradually de-
Clined until to-day's figures we're reached
Treasury officials decline to discuss the
prospects of further gold shipments as the
situation is very much mixed. The pres
ent movement appears to consist chiefly
of legitimate exports, with not much more
than a tinge of speculative motives appar-
ent. No uneasiness and no anticipations
Of any emergency arising sufficient to
make necessary another bond issue are
entertained in well informed treasury cir
cles.
While no official information can be OBJ
tanned on the subject the belief is enter
tained that the national banks Of New
York may come further to the relief Of
the treasury next week and strengthen
the gold reserve by 100000 900 or so. Gov
ernment officials are encouraged to be-
lieve that within a month the number

COIN FOR THE MORA CLAIM.
THE MONEY NOW SUBJECT TO SEC
RETARY OLNEY's ORDER.

A Lively Scramble Among the Rival
Claimants PrObnbIe-Mora EntI-
tied to 90 Per Cent of the 81 .440, 900.
The Difficulty In Dividing the
Money Due TO the Many Assign
ments Made by Some of the Claim
ants.
Washington, Sept. 27.-The Mora draft
has been paid and the money is now sub
Ject to the order Of Secretary Olney.
on Saturday, Sept. IA, the Spanish min
lister, Senior Dupuy de LONE, gave the
draft on the Spanish fiscal agent to Act
ing Secretary of State Adee, the time for
its delivery, according to the demands
made by Secretary Olney. expiring Sept.
10, which date happened to fall on Sun
day. Secretary Olney returned from his
vacation the following Monday and took
charge of the case. The secretary, 1t is
understood, forwarded the draft to New
York for transmission to London on the
first steamer and the prompt way in
which it was paid shows that there has
been no attempt at diplomatic delay in
setting up the account.
A cable dispatch to the secretary an
nounced that the draft was paid to-day
and the net proceeds are 81. l.4l9.OOO In gold
placed to the credit of the Secretary OF
State in the subtreasury of the United
States at New York.
II now remains for the secretary to dis
tribute the sum among the persons In
terested, and this seems to be a task OF
some difhculty, owing to the many assign
ments of claims that have been made. 1t
II TO De expected that there will be more
or less of a conflict between the claim
ants Just what the secretary will do has
not yet been determined. Two expert
clerks have been at work some time dock
eting these assignments and getting them
in shape, and their task is not completed
by any means. When all the known as
sgnments have been arranged the de-
partment will still be unable to say that
no more exist.
Meanwhile one suit in injunction has been
begun and others are threatened. 1t has
been suggested that inasmuch as all these
connlcting assignments growing out Of
the 40 per cent. set apart for attorneys
ices and other expenses there is no rea-
son why Mr.. Mora, who gets the remain
ing 60 per cent, and who Is the chief ben
eficiary, should not be promptly paid his
share although he might be required to
give an indemnity bond. This Is merely
suggestion, however, and may be ignored
by the secretary.
With the threat of suits impending, a
prominent official this afternoon. made
another suggestion, which was that an
invitation be sent all known claimants to
meet In conference and settle their claims
amicably, otherwise the final distribution
may have to drag its weary way through
the courts.
