SPAIN TRYING TO RAISE MONEY
TO rlEET THE EXPENSES OF THE
WAR IN CUBA.
Would Like to Negotiate a Loan of
Fifty r1iIlions, But SO Far Has
Been Unsuccessful.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia dispatch to
the Sun from Havana says: A bank
ing firm of this city has received let
ters from Paris, London and Berlin,
asking to be informed as to the real
state of affairs in the island and the
prospect of speedy pacifcation of the
provinces of Havana and Pinar del
Rio. These letters are from bankers
who have been approached by agents
of the Spanish Government to negotiate
a new loan of $50000,00O for the ex-
penses of the war in Cuba, giving as
security an additional issue of the
mortgage bonds of 1895 at per cent.
interest, with the guarantee of the Gus
toms revenue in the island.
The Spanish agents have assured the
bankers that the pacification of Pinar
del Rio is a fact, though it is impossible
to proclaim it because martial law is
necessary there, inasmuch as a few
bands of bandits still remain, and the
pacification of the province of Havana
will soon be accomplished. The answer
given to these letters means the failure
of Spain's negotiations. The banking
firm referred to has informed it's cor
respondents that the pacification of
Pinar del Rio is far from being a fact,
ard that In Havana province the war
is as hot as ever and extends even to
the suburbs of the Capital itself
But even though this were not so, the
Havana banker adds, the proposed Sc
curity for the desired loan is no Sc
curity at all. The customs revenues
are pledged to pay the principal and
interest of the bonds of 1856 at 6 per
cent, and so are the ordinary and ex-
traordinary taxes of the island The
bonds of 1895 are practically only a
econd mortgage. Besides, neither Gu
ba nor Spain is able to pay the SAC, ,0OO,- :

PACIFIC CABLE.
APPEAL ON BEHALF OF AN
AMERICAN COMPANY.
General Swayne Asks That Compe-
tition be Open to Build Line to
Japan via Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-General
Wager Swayne of New York, represent
ing the Pacific Gable Company of New
Jersey, appeared before the House Com
merce Committee to-day in support of
proposition to throw open to competi
ton the building of a cable from the
United States to Japan via Honolulu.
All the cable bills before Congress- he
said, relegated the details to the Post
office Department, thus recognizing the
cable as part of the postal service.
The postal service, he held, was not re-
quired to be remunerative, therefore
the stipulatio to pay the money of the
United States in the form of a subsidy
to the cable company for a term of
twenty years was not strictly subsidy,
inasmuch as the Governments business
is carried during that period free of
charge. There was no inconsistency in
that, he thought, as the mails were car
ried in some parts of the country by pri-
vate parties, who were paid for the
service.
In answer to queries from the COM
mittee, General Swayne explained that
the other company which desired the
contract would undertake to build the
cable this year. His company could not
do that. Neither could his company
lay the cable to Japan and China with
in seventeen months from this date.
They would not attempt to do it until the
bed Of the ocean had been properly sur
veyed
The English Government, he asserted,
would not lay their cable If the United
States first enters the field. In this con-
nection he referred to the existing con-
ditions in the Hawaiian Islands. by
showing that the Hawaiian people feel
that they may not long remain an in
dependent province. He asserted that
sooner or later they would cast their
lot with some nation, and that that ma
ton would probably be the one which
put them in communication with the re-
mainder of the world. and thus help them
to build up their commerce
In answer to a query IL the men COM
posing his company were responsible
General Swayne mentioned the names
Of some of the leading incorpora tors.
among whom were Colonel Spaulding,
who had resided many years in Homo
lulu. and held contract from that Gov
ernment TO lay cable to San Francisco.
Other members of the company were

Railroad: James ]. HILL the President
of the Great Northern Railroad; Abram
