SPANS BIG LOAN.
ladiss Selling Their Jewels and Clergy
Melting Up Church Plate.

MADRID, Nov. l6.-This morning the
government made an announcement ask
Ing for public subscriptions on loan OF
S5O,OOO, 600 While the loan is not made
purposely for the immediate purchase of
munitions and equipments for war yet it
Is probable that the bulk of the money
will be used to defray expenses of the con-
lict now going on in Cuba.
The new loan issue has already been
nearly secured by tenders from banks,
companies and capitalists, The Spanish
banks doc not charge n commission for
subscriptions to the new loan, tho news
papers advertise it free of charge, the Ia
dies are selling their iewllry and the
clergy are melting church plate. The
banks of Spain opened yesterday " re-
cevc tenders to the loan.
Unusual means were adopted to insure
the Success of the new loan. Appeals
amounting to commands have ncen issued
from the interior, lnHa"e and marine
ministries to the provincial authorities to
adopt exceptional measures to secure large
subscriptions, and newspapers are filled
with exhortations to patriotism from
prominent public men. The loan is more
like national charitable subscription
than an ordinary financial operation.

Two Children Burned to Death,

BUFFALO, Nov. 16.-Henry Weller, aged
8years, and Mary Weller, aged months,
were burned to death in fire at the home
of Christian Weller, their father, on Madi.
son street. The mother had left the house
fora timc, and it is supposed that some
clothes hanging near the stove caught fire
and communicated with the crib in which
the baby lay. The boy was in another part
of the house when his mother left, and it
is supposed that he lost his life in trying
to save the little sister. The girls body
was burned to n crisp, but that of the boy
was untouched by the flames, he having
evidently been smothered to death.
