WAR LOAN FOR BRITAIN.
England VIII Find it Necessary to
Borrow Money.


London, Dec. 29.-The f10,O00, 600 war
credit voted by parliament is long since
swallowed up. The cost of the war be-
yond this credit is variously estimated
as G3O, 600, 900 up to date. As 10 the flu
ture cost, q sanguine estimate is go
000. 900 more.
How will Hicks Beach. when the COM
mons reassemble, propose to meet this
expenditure? You can state that the
cabinet has not yet discussed the ques-
ton. Before parliament resumes there
is likely to be a change in the cabinet,
including the ousting of Hicks Beach
from the exchequer
In the meantime treasury officials as :

San Francisco, Dec. 29.-Advices from
Honolulu regarding the bubonic plague
say: President Dole, while realizing the
seriousness of the situation, does not be-
lieve there is much cause for alarm. He
thinks there is no danger to those whose
houses. persons and food are cleanly. He
has unbounded confidence in the ability
OF the board of health to quickly stamp
out the disease. Some physicians claim
the disease is not the black plague
The council of state has appropriated
s250,000 for immediate use of the board
of health in combating the plague.
