spain's Attempt to Raise Money.

Ar Madrid as well as at Havana,
Santiago. Porto Rico and Manila, Spain
is having to wage a hopeless battle.
The financial condition of the country
has been growing steadily worse and
now it seems desperate. This makes
the end of the war appear much nearer
than it would otherwise. Were Spain
in a condition to throw new force into
the conflict. there might be less GER
tainty about this result. But every
day brings fresh evidence of her help
lessness. The fact that she is permit
ting Cervera's fleet to fall into our
hands without any attempt at rescue
is the plainest possible evidence that,
for some reason or reasons which can
be only guessed here, she is unable to
send such help. II would almost seem
that she is quite willing to permit
Cuba and Porto Rico to fail into our
hands as the shortest way of ending

policy appears the more probable be-
to have given up all hope of getting
any help from France or other powers:

bonds. Henry C!ews in discussing this
have virtually discontinued its add
Vances to the treasury and a severe
silver threatens it With the suspension
of specie payments. when its notes
would fall to a ruinous depreciation.
Under such conditions. what prospect
can there be of negotiating the pro-
posed loan? If the people have come
to distrust the Bank and demand the
liquidation of its notes. what prospect
is there of their lending to the govern
ment? And if the proposed Is could
be marketed, what would be the re-
ceipts from the loan? The existing
As sell at about one-third Of their par
value, so that could a now issue be
marketed at about the same price
which is highly improbable.-the pro-
ceeds would be only some 500 900. 900 in
silver. or less than half that amount in
gold. AS a contribution to the costs
of such war as Spain has under
taken these results of the loan would
be iudicrously inadequate; and from
that point of view who could be ex-
pectcd to risk their money on such a
venture? 1t may safely he taken for
granted that the loan Will prove an
utter failure; and if money is not to
be had, the war must quickly end.
Thus Spain is as much threatened
from her own bankruptcy as from our
armies and fleets: and is seems inevi-
table that these difficulties must re-
suit in an early peace. Beyond these
embarrassments, Spain is threatened
from home discontents ana dynastic
factions, from dear bread, and from
the utter distrust of the government
that must come when the people learn
the truth about the war operations, 50
utterly faIsitied to keep down public
discomfort.
