by yielding the regency to her she would dis
arm the adversaries of the existing regime
and rally all the sympathies around the lit
tie King.
She even formed the resolution of quitting
Spain for time after her abdication, with
her two daughters, leaving the young SOW
ereign to reign and the new regent. She
summoned Premier Sagasta and laid the
plan before him.
A ministerial council was held. after which
all the members visited the Queen Regent
to beg her to give up the scheme for the
present. They told her that under the pres
ent circumstances abdication would seem
like flight and would BIZ very badly con-
strued by the country.
Premier Sagasta was so persuasive that
he obtained the following reply from the
Queen Regent:

not altogether give up my plan; only post
pone it."

COUNT CASSINI TALKS
Renews Protestations of Friendship on
the Part of Russia

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-(Special to The
Herald.) Count Casslni, the new Russian
minister to the United States, has arrived.
II can assure you," said he that the peo-
PIE as well as the government of Russia en-
tertain only the liveiest feeling of friend
ship towards the United States in this war
between your country and Spain. While we
are friendly with Spain, Russia, like the
rect of the world, has realized that the
United States is young and strong with the
strength of youth. We have therefore had
little doubt that In the end the United
States would be victorious in the present
war;"
The count, in response to the suggestion
that there was fear in some quarters in this
country that Germany might interfere with
the operations of the United States in the
Philippines, said that he did not believe
Germany had any real intentions.
Talking about the current gossip regard
a possible Anglo-American alliance, Count
Cassini said:
IT do not understand how such an all-
ance could be of benefit to the United States.
| appreciate the sentiment that the two
nations speak the same language and are or
the same race, but their politics are widely
different / think that In such an alliance
the advantages would be all on the side of

PRACTICALLY INSOLVENT
The Condition Of the Bank Of Spain De-
plorable-American Securities

LONDON, June 1S.-The Statist, COM
menting upon the war loan of the United
States, today says:
1.-THE preparations for the loan no doubt
account to some extent for the fall in Amer
lean railroad securities this week. The
other principal cause is the collapse of the
wheat corner, and If there is very much
selling of American securities in Europe,
as is believed on the Stock Exchange, then
it is possible gold may soon be taken to New
York in considerable amount. American
bills are known to be offering. Indeed, it
is said bills are being drawn against credits
in anticipation of ordinary requirements.
Therefore 1t is not all improbable that gold
may be sent; if 1t goes, we shall certainly
see very considerable recovery in rates in
London"
Under the heading, 'Is the Bank of Spain
Solvent?" the Statist lengthily discusses
Spain's financial position, saying: upon
the banks ability to finance the govern
ment depends the continuation and dura-
tion of the war. Practically. the Spanish
government is now reduced to the expedi-
ent of using the printing press to meet Its
war outlays, and the longer that printing
press is in operation and the more notes are
issued the greater will be the depreciation
in the value of the paper. If the war lasts
much longer, we may see the paper peseta
which is now at a discount of 80 per cent,
depreciate as did the assignats of France
at the end of the last century. Formal sus-
pension of specie payments cannot long be
delayed. Indeed the suspension has prac-
tically occurred"
The statist then presents an array of
figures showing the exact position of the
bank, with a note circulation of 1,1Ss 900
pesetas without any coin reserve available
for its redemption, and further pointing out
that such note circulation may be increased
to 2,500.0O0,000. Finally. the Statist says
that in three years the Spanish and Cuban
governments have borrowed 1000, ,oOO 900
pesetas from the Bank Of Spain.
