The Method by Which the Payment
VIII BE Made.


WASHINGTON, April H. = Secretary
Gage is ready to pay over the $50 000, 900
indemnity due to Spain. The French
ambassador, or whoever her catholic
majesty may designate, will be paid just
like any other creditor of the govern
ment just as If the sum was SITS, instead
of $40, 000,0 600.
A warrant will be made out by William
F. McLennan, chief of the warrant di-
vision, on an engraved slip of paper, very
much like the ordinary bank draft 1t
will be sent first to the comptroller, who
will examine the law and see If the war
rant is properly drawn. 1t will then go
to one of the assistant secretaries Of the
treasury, who will approve It., and the
next day will be sent to Treasurer Ro-
herts who countersigns it and designates
the place where it shall be paid. In this
case the warrant will be drawn upon Mr..
c. N. Jordan, assistant treasurer at the
city of New York. Mr.. Roberts will for
ward the warrant by mail or by mes
senger to the French ambassador The
latter will undoubtedly deposit it with
some bank in New York for collection,
where 1t will go through the clearing
house like any ordinary check and at the
close Of that days business NJ. Cambon
will find $40 000, 600 to his credit His
banker will then take advantage of the
market to buy foreign exchange Per-
haps he will ask for bids from several
houses in that business, but he will prob
ably not attempt to buy 1t all at one time,
for fear of disturbing the conditions. In
this way $40. 00o, 900 will be released from
the vaults of the government and go in
to circulation. 1t may be, however, that
the Spanish government will direct NJ
Cambon to ship the gold coin to London,
Paris or Madrid, in which case the money
market will not be affected In any way
