DEMURRERsF ARE FILED.
Another Step in the Suit Against the
Beef Trust.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The> government
suit against the alleged beef trust was
sent a step forward during the day by
the filing in the United States circuit
court of demurrers of the defendants,
both as individuals and as corpora
tions. The demurrers set up at con-
siderable length that the complaint on
which an injunction is asked is insult
ficient. 1t is maintained that the suit
is multifarious and if allowed to stand
would tend to congest the business of
the court. In specific terms the de-
murrers assert that $50 much of the
bill of complaint as asks discovery"
of the several interests of the defend
ants and their business methods "has
not stated such case as would entitle
the complainant to the relief prayed
for"

VICTORY FOR MAYOR JOHNSON.

Cleveland, Aug. 5.-The circuit

Gently issued by Judge Caldwell, re
straining the city council from grant
ing public service franchises, and es-

FOR SEVERAL PURPOSES.
Guam Loan Intended to Pay Soldiers
and Aid Planters.

and Aid Planters.
Havana, Aug. 5.-The first impor-
tant work of the Cuban congress is ap-
preaching a conclusion after a sitting
OF a little more than two months. At
Saturday nights session of the senate
the way was prepared for circulating
S35,000,000 throughout the island by
substantially approving the house bill
for the circulation of this amount. The
money, it is believed, will have the
effect of relieving considerably the
present crisis. The Cuban congress
considers it advisable to aid the sugar
planters, pending efforts to obtain re-
ciprocity at the next session of the
American congress. The necessity is
also recognized of paying the debts
contracted by the Cuban junta of New
York in aid of the last revolution and
to pay the liberating army. <t
Authority has been granted for the
appointment of a commission to fix
and pay the amount due the army
General Maxine Gomez probably will
be the chairman.
President Palma will be authorized
to borrow $35, 900, 900 in American gold
and issue national thirty-year per
cent bonds within six months. Four
million dollars will be applied to the
aid of the cane growers sand the agri-
cultural and cattle industry generally
The money will be loaned at the rate
of so cents for every $500 pounds of
sugar grown in the last crop. The
money is to be repaid in February,
March or April of next year, drawing
per cent interest. The bondholders
will have the customhouse receipts as
guarantee for the repayment of the $4,-
100000 President Palma will be au-
thorized to increase the tariff duties
on certain articles accordingly
The rest of the S5,OO0,O00 loan will
be used Or the payment of debts con-
tracted by the New York junta to
support the revolution, amounting to
about S3,000,000; also for payment OF
the services of the army, amounting
to s23,000,000.
To bring this loan within the terms
of the Plat amendment and other pro-
visions of the Cuban constitution the
present congress, before adjourning,
will provide way to pay interest and
will establish sinking fund to re-
deem the principal. This probably
viii be done by means of a stamp tax,
Any balance of the loan will be APP
piled to agriculture at the discretion
OF congress.

SENATE WILL APPROVE PLAN
Money to Be Used in Paying the Gu
Ian Army and in Aiding Sugar
Planters and Others in Need OF FL
nanciai Assistance-6elieved This
Action Will Have Effect Of Reliev-
ing Considerably the Present Crisis.

washington. Aug. 5.-The state de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Minister Squiers,
dated Havana, Aug. 4:
"The house has passed bill authoriz-
ing loan $35,OOO,OOO; minimum rate OF
issue so per cent; maximum interest
per cent; redeemable in forty years"
Under the Plat amendment the
United States is bound to take cognl-
zance of every action Of the Cuban
government relating to loans. Article
2 of that amendment provides:
That said government shall not as
sumo or contract any public debt, to
pay the interest upon which and to
make reasonable sinking fund provi-
sion for the ultimate discharge OF
which the ordinary revenues of the
island of Cuba, after defray1ng the
current expenses Of the government,
shall be inadequate"
No computation has been made to
ascertain whether or not the loan pro-
vided for in the bill which Minister
Squiers' refers to trespasses upon the
provision of the Plat amendment, but
it is presumed that the Cuban reve-
nues can pay the interest and provide
a sinking fund besides defraying the
ordinary expenses of the government,
as provided for in the amendment. At
the same time it will no doubt be
found very difficult to interpret this
particular provision as the question of
revenue may fluctuate according to
the conditions in the island. 1t is
known that the intention of article 2
was to prevent any extraordinary is
sue of bonds for the purpose Of re-
deeming the bonds of the so-called re-
public previous to the SRaaish-Amer
lean war and the payment Of large
bounties to those who lad taaan psat
