SPANS BALANCE SHEET
Monarchy Put Deeply in the Hole
by Cuba.

Is : =
The financial prospect under the new
form of government is so unsatisfac-
tory that it can hardly fail to strangle
all progress and development, even
! if peace could be assured. Under one
Of the additional clauses to the home
rule constitution the public debt Of
Cuba, including the expenses incurred
for past and future military opera
tions, is to be borne by Spain and
Cuba in such proportions as may be
hereafter determined The debt be-
fore the revolt broke out was ST.
100000 in round figures Up to the
end of 1897 the military operations
cost $240000, 900. At the present time
the expenditure is between, $4,000, 900
and 100000 monthly The total
arrears now owing are about $780,
100000. AT the close of 1898 the debt
will be therefore, not less than $780,
100000. The total service for interest
and sinking4fund can be calculated
at 100000. If Spain is content to
assume one-half of these obligations
there still remains a yearly payment
of ST 100000 to be made by Cuba.
The maintenance of the rights of the
Spanish crown has to be paid for by
! the Cuban treasury, and today this
is costing, as has already been
stated, a sum equal to $100,000,0 900
annually This cost should of
course be very greatly reduced If
peace were established on a permanent
no esic. In,,+ oc tho nrOcrnotc of Dna 20
are more than doubtful at present,
this sum of $10O,0O0,000 annually must
be allowed in all calculations for the
next three years if Cuba remains a
Spanish colony. The cost of the adj
ministration of the colony government
is estimated at some SIS, 900, 900 yearly,
and no doubt can be carried on for
that sum if conducted on prudent
lines. To meet all this heavy dis
bursement there is only a colonial
revenue of $20,O0O,0OO, or Whereabouts.
| Previous to the outbreak of the in
surrection the revenue was a little less
than 100000 but Cuba was then
| exporting five times as much produce
as is now the case, and some years
must necessarily elapse before the
trade of the island RECEIVERS from it's
present state of chaos. To sum UP
the matter briefly, the financial condi-
ton for the next three years under
the new constitution is this:
Annual charge for service
OF DEBT. ............. $Il ,5OO,OOO
Maintenance of the rights
Of the Spanish crown. 100, 900
Cost of colonial administration
100000
Annua expenditures -. 1892, 500, 900
Annual revenue 80. -. &c, OOO,O 900
Annu.1 deficit $3.50. $112,500, 900
At the end Of three years the &C
cllmulated amount Of these deficits
will reach 1897, 100000 clearly an
| impossible position to- maintain for
the colonial exchequer.
If Spain remains with Cuba this
sum of 1897, 100000 is what she will
be called upon to pay between now
and 1901 in order to hold her colony.
Of course the service of the debt may
| be allowed to go into default and
the army Stationed in Cuba for the
! maintenance of the rights of the
Spanish crown may be kept unpaid
