men, and superior numbers defeated

the man who delivered the blow. The
place or the occurrence was the cafe

covers, all of which were occupied.

with no little difficulty. The three men
made their way into the cafe annex
and took seats at a small table about
10 feet distant from that occupied by
the Knox party. They began a lively
conversation. apparently oblivious of
the TACT that at nearby table were
several women. The head waiter two
or three times cautioned the men to
be careful, but the talk would always
break out afresh, even after Mr.
knoxs presence was made known. At
last the Pittsburger began to make
disparaglng remarks about the attor-
ney generals attitude toward the
trusts. While Mr.. Knox was making
n protest against the Incorporate Ian

startled everyone within hearing.
Then came blow that landed fairly

The blow staggered him against the

walters rushed In and Mr.. Knox was
speedily surrounded by his friends and
no more blows were given.

AMERICAN cash WANTED BY CUBA

The State Department at Washing

from Minister Squiers giving the text
Of the loan bill passed by the Cuban
senate. II authorizes the executive to
negotiate a loan of s4,O00,0O0 Amerl-
can gold at a minimum rate OF Issue
of 80 per cent. of the value thereof,
payable In a period not exceeding 80
years and at maximum rate OF In
terest Of per cent. This loan Is for
relief Of the sugar industry. The ex-
ecutive shall likewise negotiate within
six months another loan Of s35 100000
American gold on the same basis of
time limit. rate OF issue and interest
as the first loan, from which he shall
set aside IN bonds sum sufficient for
taking care Of the first loan. applying
the cash to, first, the payment of the
Indebtedness and obligations legitim-
ately contracted In benefit Of the revo-
luton by the corps commander OF the
liberating army after February "a,
1905, and prior to September 19 of the
same year, and to the payment Of the
Indebtedness and Obligations which
the revolutionary government itself,
or through Its legitimate representa-
tives, may have contracted previously
In foreign countries. Government Of
ficlals in Washington are trying to
figure whether or not the proposed
loan would be a violation Of the Platt
amendment, which was adopted by the
Cuban constitutional convention. Fl
nancial interests in New York were
very skeptical respecting the posslbil-
ity OF floating a Cuban loan In this
country. While 6 per cent. bond.
based on unquestioned security, might
be marketed here. the chances for
per cent. bond, secured only by an
uncertain revenue return. II Is thought
would be slight indeed. The chief con-
sideration appealing to investors in
such loan would be the moral effect
OF having the United States govern
ment, In measure, behind II. That
IL, Cuban loan approved by the ad.
ministration of the United States
might receive support from American
investors. Notwithstanding their dis.
inclination to take the bonds OF any
foreign country other than Great Bri-
tain, Germany. or some government of
equal rank: but no loan, they say,
over the legality of which there is
the slightest dispute could be offered
here with any chance of success.
