Loan Observation-Disclosures Assaulted.
HAVANA, May z, via Key wcst.-The Spanish
Government will borrow $50, 000, 900 from the
Bank OF Spain in order to continue the payment
of tho Spanish troops in Cuba. For the third
time in less than six months foreign bankers
refused to lend that amount to Spain. The fnun-
cial agents Of Schor Castellanos. Minister of
Colonies, had written him from Paris and Lon
don that 1t was useless to depend on credit
abroad any longer, as the foreign markets would
be closed to Spain until the war in Cuba should
be over. and that no kind of Spanish security
would satisfy the money lenders.
The $50, 900, 900 which the Bank OF Spain will
give is In the banks paper. The bank, by spe-
cial permission from the Government, will in
crease its Issue. as 1t did in all the previous
cases, although the last loan OF this class, made
in March. caused general protest in financial
circles. The general opinion is that the bank
will be driven by the Government to bankruptcy.
Madrid dispatches say that great indignation
prevails at the capital against Gen. Weylcr,
principally among the Liberals and the Con-
sorvativcs of tho group led by Don Francisco
Silvela. They openly declare that Weyler has
deceived Canovas with a view to retaining the
Office Of Captain-General. Senior Silvela has
said that this state OF affairs is proof of the
mental decadence of Senior Canovas, adding: "A
man who ten years ago had so strong mental
powers Is now mace n 1901 OF.
Senior Silvela considers also that Gen. Wey-

self-respecting General would like to replace
,Weyler: taking on his shoulders the response

had declared ended. Weyler would always say
that he left the island pacifed and that tho war
was renewed after his departure.
The reforms do not meet with enthusiastic

TORPEDO BoAT PORTER DEFECTIVE.

WASHINGTON, May THE torpedo boat Por-
ter, the ~fieetest vessel OF the navy, has been
found defective by an examining board in several
important particulars, both as to workmanship
and design. The contract price for the vessel was
$l44. 900. She has cost SO far $l85, 200. Since
the construction Of the new navy was begun the
rule has been to build vessels on the department
plans, but In building the Porter. the HERE
shoffs had authority to build the boat on their
own designs.
Figures at the department show that for cx-
ira work done on the engines and boilers of tho
Porter to make her fulfil requirements the
Herreshoffs have received $2l 200. Tho cx-
perts say that 1t is extraordinary that contract
ors for a vessel which was presumably designed
To develop certain results as to speed and power
should be paid 80 large a sum in excess or con-
The most serious defect In the vessel is that
trim-that Is, her bow is much higher out of the
water and her stern correspondingly lower In
the water than II should be. Her departure
from the trim line is about three feet,
thar three Inches. One result of the defect will
be to prevent the vessel from entering some or
the shallow waters In rivers on account or tho
squat TO her stern. Another defect is that she

Owing to tho pressure OF office seekers at the
White House Secretary Porter has been com
PEELED to formulate n set of rules md placards
TO enable him to transact public business. There
are five OF these placards. incascd IN oak frames
about ono foot square. Arthur Simmons, the
coiored m~csscnger'at Mr.. Porter's door, puts the
first frame in position before he leaves the
White House at midnight. 1t reads:
This Office opens Mt 10 A. NJ
Under no circumstances will callers BIO adj
mltted TO Secretary Portcr's office a minute
earlier, and orders to tho sable guardian OF Sec
rotary Porter's door are explicit on this point.
A few minutes before l o'clock In the after
noon another danger signal Is holsted, which
says: This Office will be closed at l p. M"
This suficcs to clear out tho corridors of office
seekers and other White House visitors until
another sign Is posted saying: This Office will
be reopened ut 2:30 p. NJ"
BY this arrangement tho President and Secre-
tary Porter are enabled to aet an hour and a
half to themselves for luncheon free from the
opportunities of office seekers. The next sign
in order Is to tho effect: "This office closes at 4
p. M"
There is one other sign which strikes terror to
the hearts of callers upon the Presidents secre-
tary, and this reads: N visitors received on
Cabinet days"
Everybody will BIO treated alike on these days,
and no exceptions will be made under any cir.
cumstances. It has been found necessary to
formulate these rules In the interest Of the pub
