CUBA'Ss35,COO,OOOLOAN
The House at Havana Passed Bill
Authorizing 1t.
REDEEMAeLE IN FORTY YEARS
Under PIatt Amendment Cuba Cannot
Make Debt That Revenues of the
Island Cannot Discharge After De-
fraying Expenses of the Government.

Washington. Aug. 5.-The state de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Minister Squiers,
dated Havana, August 4:
The house has passed bill authoriz-
ing loan sS5.O0O,0Oo; minimum rate of
issue, 80 per cent; maximum interest,
5 per cent, redeemable in 40 years"
Under the Plat amendment the
United States is bound to take cos
nizance of every action of the Cuban
government relating to loans. Article
2 of that amendment provides:
That said government shall not as
pay the interest upon which, and to
make reasonable sinking fund provis.
ion for the ultimate discharge of which
the ordinary revenues of the island of
Cuba. after defraying the current ex.
penses Of the government, shall oe In.
adequate"
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 Platt amendment, but
IT is presumed that the Cuban reve-
aues can pay the interest and provide
4 sinking fund beside defraying the
Srdinary expenses OF the government,
as provided IN the amendment At
the same time II will no doubt be
found very difficult to interpret this
particular provision. as the question
OF revenues may fuctuate according
10 the conditions in the island 1t is
knowo that the intention OF article 2
was TO prevent any extraordinary issue
Of bonds for the purpose OF redeeming
the bonds Of the so-called republic
previous TO the Spanish American war
and the payment of large bounties to
those who had taken part in the in
surrection against Spain. II was In
tended as a check upon the Cuban
government in the matter OF mourning
Indebtedness, although II carries no
provision indicating what would be the
action OF the United States should the
Cuban government exceed the indebt-
cdness prohibited by the amendment
Neither is there anything in the
amendment indicating what steps the
United States would take to determine
whether the Indebtedness was beyond
the prescription. or how it would pre-
vent the mourning OF such indebted
ness.

collision on Lake Erie, between the
steamer City of Venice, ore laden, and

eral other persons were more or less

The cause of the collision Is not

that anything had happened was
terrible crash which brought
both boats almost to a standstin. The
Seguin had struck the Venice fairly
Nmidships and plowed its way half
through the boat The crew and pas
sengers aboard both boats heard n
tearing of timbers mingled with calls
for help from those already on deck.
All those who were sleeping rushed
out on deck and there was a frightful
panic for a time. The Venice which
had been split almost in two was sink
ing rapidly Captain Broderick, OF the
boat ran on deck in his sleeping robes
and Immediately called to the men TO
man the lifeboats. The members OF
the crew who had not been hurt
rushed TO his assistance and in I'VE
minutes they had the boat in the water
Several OF the men fearing that the
ship would sink before they had an
opportunity TO escape threw themselves
overheard They were later picked
up by the lifeboats from the Seguin
The City OF Venice went down ~ yer,
