BANKRUPT SPAIN.
No Money to be Loaned to Her for
War Expenses.

war Expenses.
CALL OFFICE,
Riggs House,
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The ad-
ministration has received, through
Secretary Gage, most positive and
reliable information to the effect
that the Spanish Government is un-
able to borrow dollar from Eu-
ropean 6nanciers with which to
carry on war, for although three
hundred millions OF Spanish bonds
are held by French and English
capitalists, the interests OF the
French and English fnanciers in
American securities are very much
greater.
1t seems certain, therefore, that
poverty-stricken Spain must yield
to any just demand made by the
United States. This will certainly
include a demand for indemnity,
and it is believed such indemnity
will be paid by European capitalists,
but now that the President is strong
ly fortified in his position, with Con
gress unanimously at his back and
the powerful European nations in
sympathy, he will not be content
with a mere demand for indemnity,
but will take steps to intervene in
Cuban affairs.

worthy in very strong language, and Logan
