Loan Due In Nav

Washington City. April 6.-Senor Con-
zales de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban
legation here, is exultant over the receipt
of advices from Europe. through the news
papers and otherwise. to the effect that
the Spanish government is in great straits
to raise money TO prolong the war. He
said the Bank of France and the Low
Countries had refused 10 advance Spain
any more money in addition 10 the sl00eD,-
900 already advanced. and this had driven
Spain to the doubtful expedient OF eailins
upon her own citizens for help He doubt

Spain was under obligations TO repay the
ten million loan to the Bank of France and
the Low Countries before June next max
ing payment OF one-hslf on the 5th of next
