SPANISH MINISTER COMPLAINS.
FiIibusterinS Expeditions to Aid Gu
Ia Being Fitted Out in the UnitOsI
States.

Washington, June 6.-NIr. de LONE, the
Spanish minister to the United States,
has called the attention of the state de-
partment to allegations that filibustering
expeditions against Spanish authorities
in Cuba are being fitted out in the
nayous of the lower Mississippi river. The
communication also states that armed
citizens of some of the southern states
often paraded with arms with a view to
joining some of these outgoing expeditions
or at least to give active encouragement
to the Cuban insurrectionistS. Some of
the statements made covered facts of
which the United States government can
take no official notice and were too
meagre for political official action. 1t is
believed At the state department that
there is little truth IN the reports which
reach here from the south of the fitting
out of warlil1e expeditions against Cuba
but should it be shown that expeditions
are being organized which come within
the prohibitions of international law and
our treaties with Spain. there will be no
delay in bringing the parties concerned
to justice.
It is learned the Spanish officials are
keeping a close watch on several sup
posed eXpeditionary movements for the
purpose of furnishing information on
which to request action by the United
States government. One OF the eXpedi-
lions is believed to have started from
Philadelphia
The suspected ships, it is said, at the
Spanish legation, are the George Childs
and the Bridgeport. The Spanish OFF,
Gals connect the movement of these
ships with suspicious operations at
Dauphin and Cat Island. Oft the mouth of
the Mississippi. 1t is said these move
meIts are mainly the result of the recent
arrivals in the United States of General
Quesada from Venezuela, who brought a
considerable sum of money to aid the
CubanS and another SympathiZer who is
said to have brought $4,000 from Paris.

the commerce between Japan and
China and Corea, which he says will
present new phases as result of the
termination of hostilities. He says the
competition among Japan merchants
for Corean trade is vicious and has de-
moralized trade.
Mr.. Gernigan calls attention to the
fact there is not in China or Japan
banking institution conducted by
American capital. Great Britain,
France and Germany have banks in
China and Japan, he says, and the
merchants of these countries are sup
ported by the banking institutions of
their own countries and they have
been dividing the profits of Asiatic
commerce. American merchants in
Asia are compelled to transact their
business through foreign banks. Not
many years ago the American inter
est was of first consideration at
Shanghai, and American commerce
whitened Asiatic seas. Now, other ma
tions are pushing ahead. although
geographically the United States
should dominate and supply with the
overproduction of their fertile fields,

cents that the Short Line should De

ficient to enable it to meet ana pay IT'S
working expenses, ordinary repairs
and the interest on the consolidated
1Irr,ortgage, issued as stated above, then
; s1e gross receipts from the whole sys-
1em should be so apportioned that the
S,&Ert Line should receive enough to
II its working expenses and interest
IN its bonds and that the Short Line
should and did execute a mortgage to
secure the Union Pacific.
By virtue of this agreement the

was taken possession of by the re-
ceiy ers, S. H H. Clark, Oliver w.

reason Of such default the plaintiff
claims TO be entitled to the possession
or the property comprised in the con-
solidated mortgage and to a sale
thereof,
TIE Oregon Short Line is composed
of five branches:
F'irst-Six hundred and eleven miles
extending from Granger, Wyo., to
Huntington, Ore, and from Shoshone
to ketchum. in Idaho, on which first
mortgage bonds for an aggregate
amount of $14,931 900 were outstanding
and held by F. L. Ames and John F.
Dlllon at the time of the execution Of
the consolidated mortgage bond.
Second-About 1861 miles extending
from Ogden, Utah, to Garrison, Mont,
and from Silver Bow to Butte City, on
which first mortgage bonds, held by
Jay Gould and Joseph Richardson, for
$4,S9o,O0O, We're outstanding when the
consolidated mortgage bonds were
issued.
Third-The Utah Northern proper
on which at the time the consolidated
bonds We're executed. We're outstand-
ing other bonds to the amount of
Sl,S31, 900 held by the plaintiff.
FOurth-About 105 miles from Salt

gated $,52600 held by William II.

Fifth-About $50 miles from Juab to

Short Line & Utah Northern fell be-
low the sum required to pay its work
ing expenses and pay the interest on
the bonds, yet the Union Pacific re-
ceivers failed to comply with the pro-
visions of the agreement to make a
sufficient general apportionment to
pay the operating expenses and inter-
est either CT the first or second mort
gage bonds The plaintiffs therefore,
by reason of the default in the inter-
est on the consolidated bonds claim
the right to foreclose their mortgage
and take possession of the road on
paying the interest on the first mort
gage bonds and believing that the
Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern,
if Topped off from the Union Pacific
would be a paying company, ask for
a separate receiver. They also ask
that the court after granting a sep
arate receiver allow him to issue re-
ceiver's certificates to a sufficient
amount to pay the defaulting interest
and which by September 1 will amount
to S1,7OO,O0O.
Counsel in the Case
The American Loan and Trust COM
pany is represented in the present
hearing by Moorield Storey, Of Bos-
ton, +. B. Kellogg, of Minneapolis,
and John A Marshall, of Salt Lake,
who urged the appointment of a sep
arate receiver and the issuance of re-
ceiver's certificates, which was OPP
posed by John NJ. Thurston, of
Omaha, representing the present
Union Pacific receivers, z. P. Sanborn,
of st. Paul, representing the Ames in
terest holders of the first mortgage
bonds, r. S. Hall, of Omaha, repre-
senting the Oregon Short Line &
Utah Northern, Winslow S. Pierce, Of
New York, representing Ham and other
first mortgage bondholders, LIE Grand
Young and Farley L. Williams, of
Salt Lake, representing first mortgage
bondholders.
The Points of Contention.
The points of contention is whether
the court should or should not permit
the separate receiV er, in case one was
appointed, to issue receivers certifi-
Gates to pay the interest on the bonds,
same to be a first charge on the prop
erty. 1t was practically conceded that
the plaintiff, the holder of the second
mortgage, had right to take posses
sion of the road under the mortgage
on paying up the interest on the first
mortgage, but the attorneys opposing
the second receivership held that the
court had no precedent for allowing
receivers certificates to be Issued for
such a purpose unless by consent of
all the parties interested.
The plaintiffs attorneys urged that
Judge Merritt follow the course Of
Judge Gilbert, in Portland, the court
of primary Jurisdiction, and make an
order in respect to the portion of the
line in Utah. similar in every respect,
appointing Mr.. Egan as separate re-
ceiver and giving him power to issue
receivers certificates. 1t appeared that

makes it optional with the plaintiff
whether it takes all the road or any
of the five separate branches which
compose it and on four of which the
plaintiff holds the separate second
mortgages. This option feature was
particularly Objectionable to the OPP
ponents of the separate receivership.

Politics. Not FINANCE.

London, June IA dispatch to the
Times from Hong Kong says that the
financial terms of the Chinese loan
give no immediate political advantage
to Russia, but the impression is that
the agreement involves China in the
granting, at some future time, of an
ocean port for the Siberian railway.
AS at present arranged, it will be a 4
per cent loan. 1t is stated that the
syndicate will obtain it at SO and sell
it at par if possible. 1t is evident,
however, that the entire transaction
has in it more of the political than of
the financial
