yame war Money.

Tho Cuban government. whi,h now
holds fully four-hiths OF the island
against the great army OF Spain. has
as yet issued only stamps and bonds.
says the New York sun 1t has not
made any paper money. as Is usual
with goyommcE;s organized In rebel
lisn against the ruling power. The
medium Of exchange In Cuba today is
Spanish aud American coin.
Among the patriot forces. however,
nromlssory notes Of the government
are being used. A commander OF any
body OF the army who wishes TO sup
ply his men with food will give the mer-
chan, whose goods chance TO fall In
his way a note on the Cuban govern
mcnt promising payment OF n certain
sum for the articles taken when the
Spanish yoke has been thrown OF and
the national government firmly es,ab-
lished. The merchants accept these
notes as better than nothing at an. and
as having a very good chance Of r,-
demption some day. for they realize
that SPANS grasp on the country Is
weakening daily.
During the last Cuban war OSGS-'79
the patriot government issued paper
money This paper money was OF the
same character as a United States sill
vcr certificate. with the exception that
Il was not hacked by very much iinan-
clal responsibility. lts value depended
entirely on the rise and fall Of the in
surrectlonists' chances OF success A
defeat OF the forces OF the Cuban gov
eminent meant a depreciation In the
value OF this currency; a victory. an
appreciation
At the beginning OF the civil war
In the United States a confederate note
was worth United States dollar As
the war progressed Il deprecated In
value until Appomattox reduced It's
value to zero.
4 corresponding condition existed
during the Cuban war Of 1868 The
Cuban government, through the junta
In this country issued an enormous
amount Of paper money. The bills were
printed IN 1869 by a New York bank
note company. which has since gone out
Of business The denominations OF the
notes were half pesos. pesos, 8. 10 and
rs pesos. A Spanish pesos Is equal in
value to an American dollar. Great
quantities OF the notes were signed by
the treasurer Of the junta, and shipped
90 Cuba. but after the suppression Of
the junta the signature was added after
the notes reached Cuba A large guam
tity OF these notes were never signed
nor shipped, but stlll a great number
were In circulation on the island.
On the face OF the note Is an an
nounoCment that the paper will be "ex-
changed for gold and silver by the re.
public and will be received as taxes,
custom house duties and In payment
OF all obligations"
Hut the republican government at the
time was so unstable that this promise
was OF little value. The army carried
bundles OF the notes with them and
paid for what they got with them. No
merchant would argue with an armed
