AUSTRIA FAVORS SPAIN.
Yet No Declaration of Neutra1ity-Portu
gal and Germany Evidently VIII
BE Observation-Disclosures

WASHINGTON, April 29-The French
ambassador, NJ Cambon, has written to
the state department informing the Off
Gals of Frances neutrality. The state
department has also been informed that
Mexico, Argentine Republic, Korea and
Belgium have proclaimed neutrality.
Korea's neutrality is considered import
ant, owing to her close proximity to the
Philippines.
The state department has heard moth
ing from Germany, but this causes no
apprehension owing to the strong as
surances Germany has given that she
will observe strict neutrality between
the two belligerents. This assurance
was conveyed to Ambassador White,
and is looked upon as practically equiva-
lent to formal declaration of neutral
ity. The apprehension as to Portugal's
course was considerably removed by the
call of Viscount de Santo- Thyrso, who
gave strong assurances to the state de-
partment that Portugal would remain
strictly neutral. The Portuguese min
lister expects the official declaration
almost hourly.
Attention is now being conferred on
the course of Austria. Her DELAY in
declaring neutrality causes no material
inconvenience, as Austria has no ports
at which Spanish ships can take refuge
but it discloses that Austria's strong
tendencies are with Spain, owing to the
dynastic relations between the thrones
of Austria and Spain.

WASHINGTON, April 30. - Secretary
Gage has retured from New York,
where he had conferences with promi-
nent bankers in regard to the proposed
bond issue for raising war fund. The
secretary said that the principal purpose
of his visit to New York was to obtain
from representative inanciers and capt.
talists their views on the proposed bond
issue.
All seemed disposed to do anything
and everything possible to give any
needed financial support to the govern
ment III the present emergency, al
though there would be no financial in
ducements for capitalists to invest in 3
per cent bonds when the time loans
were bringing 6 per cent, and even
more, the question of profit would be
put to one side and whatever assistance
the government needed would be forth
coming. All favored the popular loan
idea, and thought that the people
should be given an opportunity to in
vest III the issue. Some of the bankers
expressed doubt as to the ability of the
government to place among people of
small means as much as 500, 100000 of
bonds at per cent, especially as many
OF the savings banks throughout the
country were paying 1904 per cent.
They were willing to assist in disposing
of whatever was left, however, and
they had 10 doubt that the whole
amount offered would be subscribed for
at once, and possibly two or three time
over.
Most of the bankers present thought
that the first issue should be 5000, 000,-
900. War, they knew, was an expen-
sive business, and, although there might
not be need for that amount, in all prob
ability there would be, and, in any
event, it was always best to be pre-
pared for every contingency
This amount, with the 1920, 600, 900 in
the treasury and the 500, 100000 a year
which it is thought will be raised by the
pending war revenue bill, will put the
finances of the country on very salts
factory basis.
The secretary was much gratified at
the patriotic spirit manifested at the
conference, and he has no doubt of the
hearty and disinterested support of the
leading capitalists of the country in any
emergency
