THE CUBAN LOAN.
Minister Squiers Quoted as Being I'm
Favor OF the Scheme.

Minister Squfers Quoted as Being I'm
Favor of the Scheme.
HAVANA, Aug. S.-The newspapers
of Havana publish many comments on
the proposed changes In the customs
tariff for the purpose of providing Sc
curity for the projected loans of $4,-
100000 and $50, 000. 900, as set forth in
the bill passed by the senate last Tues
day. All the conservative newspapers
consider that these changes will be
hard on the poor man.
Regarding the news received here by
cable that the American press consid-
ers the floating Of these loans to be an
infraction of clause in the Platt
amendment, La Discussion says:
MIR. Squiers, the American minister,
believes it adyisable to assist the Gu
ban agriculturist He has. also said the
American government would be
pleased that the republic of Cuba
should pay its debt to the, revolution
airy army BY. means of "a loan, that. so
doing would greatly aid the prosperity
Of the country and that he believes
Cuba to be financially capable Of the
operation"

TROMSO,N Norway, Aug. S.-Evelyn
B. Baldwin, the arctic explorer, in an
interview characterized the reports of
difficulties on board the America dur
ing the recent Baldwin-ziegler expedi-
ton to the north as incorrect. He de
scribed as out Of place and premature
any criticisms at the expiration Of
only one year of an expedition the
time for which was placed at five
years. Mr.. Baldwin said further that
he had only taken such measures on
board the America as were necessary
for the interests of the expedition and
that he would pursue his aim to reach
the north pole as vigorously as ever.

NEW YORK, Aug. assistant
Grand Chief Youngson of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, who
was assigned by Grand Chief p. M.
Arthur to investigate the complaints
of the engineers and motormen on the
Manhattan elevated roads, came to this
city yesterday. He registered at the
Broadway Central hotel and called a
meeting of the local committee of the
brotherhood. At the close of the meet
ing he said. .There is no reason to be-
heye that the men will be treated 9TH
erwise than fairly. The Gould roads
have been very prosperous and cannot
afford a strike just now / worked on
an engine cab for twenty three years
on the Gould system and never found
the Goulds anything but square. I be-
lieve that Mr.. Gould will do the square
thing when the facts are laid before

KING TO Els PEOPLE.
Edward VII. Issues a Special
Proclamation.
This Personal Expression OF Ellis
dajesty's Feelings Sent as am
Autograph Letter to the
Home Secretary.

LONDON, Aug. s.-The following
MESA sc from King Edward to his peo-
pie has been made public:
son the eve of my coronation, an
event which look upon as one of the
most solemn and important of my life,
I am anxious to express to my people
at home and in the colonies and in In
dia my heartfelt appreciation of the
deep sympathy they have manifested
toward me during time in my life of
such imminent danger. The postpone
ment of the coronation ceremony oW-
ing to my illness has caused, fear,
much incony enience and trouble TO all
who intended to celebrate it. But their
disappointment has been borne by
them with admirable patience and
temper.
sThe prayers of my people for my re-
coyery were heard, and | now offer
up my deepest gratitude to Divine
Providence for having preserved my
life and given me strength to fulfill the
important duties which devolve upon
me as sovereign of this great empire"
King Edwards proclamation is a
personal and spontaneous expression
of his majesty's feelings. It was con-
ceived and written by himself in an
autograph letter to the home secreta-
ry, G. T.. Richie. In addressing this
communication to the home secretary
the king is following the traditions OBJ
served by the late Queen Victoria
when she addressed personal messages
to the nation.
King Edward did not drive out yes
terday. A large crowd had gathered
outside Buckingham palace in expecta-
ton of their majesties taking a drive.
and the king, who was lunching in one
of the front rooms of the building,
came to a window in full view of the
people, who cheered him enthusiasts
tically. The king bowed his acknoWl-
edgments.
It had been expected that his males
ty would visit Westminster abbey, but
he did not dose. He was busily en-
gagged with his secretary, Lord Knoll
