1t Takes the Place OF Blind Confidence
Among Americans in Havana.
Havana. via Key West, April 6.-Aft-
er many days of foolish confidence that
nothing would happen, "a number of
people here. Americans and others, have
been plunged into equally foolish fears,
turmoil and all sorts of wild rumors in
advance of the message of the presi-
lent to congress. No doubt many Will
leave as a result of a needless scare.
since probably they would be as safe
here as anywhere, a possible lombard
ment being left out of account. Some
of the Spaniards still talk wildly about
the United States fleet being blown out
of the water by fire from the Havana
batteries on the fort, but, as careful
practice, two days ago, showed the in
ability of the unner to come within
100 yards of a target on the water at
a range of two miles or Whereabouts,
naval men need not be apprehensive of
the effect of the Havana guns. The
story sent north that 40 mines had been
recently sunk in Havana harbor is not
verified. 1t is improbable. Likely
enough, however, a single line and per-
haps a double line of torpedoes have
been laid in the narrowest part OF the
channel near the entrance.

We have had. however, numerous
offers for our bonds, but as we only
desire to sell them in very large
blocks these negotiations amounted TO
nothing. The average price obtained
was 40 cents on the dollar. IL is highly
probable that these stories have origi-
mated with some parties who. about 10
DAYS ago, told us that the reason why
his government delayed in taking ac-
ton was that there was a stumbling
block which could be emoved III We
would agree to give them 100000 900 OF
our bonds for 81. coo, 900 In cash, which
was refused. We were then told We
would be sorry for II.
I'VE have never given n bonds to
any newspaper man or any official or
the United States government or any
one whomsoever for political services.
The idea is plainly ridiculous. because
we do not need TO do so, and we don't
to-day. As we did not have to purchase
the sympathy and support of the entire
American people. so we did not have to
think of purchasing the press or its rep
resentatives i'm congress or the high
American officials.
TT is curious to me that these insin-
uations emanate from the few rabid
anti-Cuban newspapers of this coun-
try. These statements are n direct in
suit to the American press, TO congress
and 10 every official of this country In
sympathy with our cause.
Not one bond has passed out of my
hands without being paid for in cash.

under oath and TO show my books to
any competent authority"

there was some motive for the delay

They did not question the good faith OF
the representation as to the danger OF
Americans in Cuba, but they agreed
that there must have been other causes
for the administrations course. When
the Madrid bulletin. stating the prob
ability Of an armistice in Cuba, was
made known. they found In IL a verih-
cation OF their surmises. At one time
during the afternoon the indication was
strong that the dissatisfaction would

senate, but those who felt disposed to
discuss the question were restrained
largely from a feeling of delicacy be-

Cuba and that for him to have taken
any other course under the circum-

Foraker Asserts That There Is No specu-
Iaiion Behind His RESOLUTION.
Washington. April at the meeting
to-day of the senate committee on for
eign relations. the question of Cuban
bonds was raised. 1t was brought up
by Senator Foraker, who said that he
had heard IL intimated that there was
speculation in Cuban bonds behind his
resolution. declaring for the recognition
of Cuban independence. This, he said,
was not true in any respect, and he
added that he had not known when the
resolution was drawn that there were
any Cuban bonds put. He had investi-
gated since, and mad learned that only
SIS. 900 of Cuban bonds had been sold.
This even. the senator said In a sar-
castle tone. he did not consider sufh-
cient to influence the course of events.
Mr.. Foraker then stated that there was
another point of the bon question to
which he decided to invite the attention
of the country, and that was the pos
sibility of the United States having to
resume responsibility for the payment
of the interest. IL not the principal, of
the Spanish bonds secured by the Gu
ban revenues in Ease of intervention of
this country in the Cuban war without
first recognizing the Importance of the
Cubans. He said he would not assert
positively that such would be the case,
but he believed the position strong
enough under International law to
make ground for an international law
suit. He stated that there were no less
than $500, 600, 900 of these bonds.
