MINT COMING MILLIONS.
In the chamber of deputies today
Senor Calzado criticised the prohibition
of the export of silver as being use
less, and urged the government to in
crease the silver coinage and avert a
monetary crisis.
Senor Puigcerver, the minister of
finance, said the measure was intend
ed to prevent the export of the immense
quantities of silver money stored in the
frontier provinces, adding that if pro-
hibitlon was not sufficient stronger
measures would be taken. The minor
officers also say that the mint is COIN
ing million daily, which amount, if
necessary, he explained, will be in
creased by an arrangement being made
with the Paris mint.
THE BILL PASSED.
The chamber of deputies has voted
the law prohibiting the expectation of
silver coin. 1t is feared the measure will
fail Of the effect desired. The rush on
the Bank Of Spain to change the notes
continues. The authorities, however,
have decided to treat as criminal dis
turbers of the peace all persons VINO
