run on the bank of Spain. said: The
condition of Spain at sea and ON land, in
war and in finance, continues to grow
worse daily. | am not surprised that
the present condition confronts the bank
of Spain. In endeavoring to support
the government it has undertaken u tre
mendous contract. The bank must con-
tinue specie payments. or Il Will be en-
tirely discredited: and unless it does con-
tinue them the Spanish financial fabric
will go to pieces. Spanish bonds will
fall still lower, and Spain will be in a
far more serious condition financially
than she has ever been.
The developments indicate that the
Spanish people themselves are alarmed
at the financial condition of the country.
They evidently fear that the bank will
not be able to carry out it's plans. Ii its
own bank should prove to be an unsteady
financial prop. Spain will indeed have
immense difficulty in raising the sinews
of war"
