CUBA'SS35,OO0,0OO[0AN
The House at Havana Passed Bill
Authorizing 1t.
REpEEMAsLe IN FORTY YEARS
Under Piatt Amendment Cuba Cannot
Make a Debt That Revenues Of the
island Cannot Discharge After De.
frayinq 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 $35 600 900; minimum rate OF
issue, 90 per cent: maximum interest.
per cent, redeemable in 40 years"
Under the Plat amendment the
United States is bound to take cog
nizance 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 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 be 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 Plat amendment, but
it is presumed that the Cuban reve'
nues can pay the interest and provide
a sinking fund beside defraying the
ordinary expenses of the government
as provided in the amendment. At
the same time 1t will no doubt be
found very difficult to interpret this
particular provision, as the question
Of revenues may fluCtuate according
to the conditions in the island. 1t is
known that the intention of article
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 wal
and the payment of large bounties tC
those who had taken part in the In
surrection against Spain. 1t was In
government in the matter of incurrine
Indebtedness, although il carries nc
provision indicating what would be the
action of the United States should the
Cuban government exceed the indebt
edness prohibited by the amen ment
Neither is there anything 4 he

United States would take 10 determine
whether the Indebtedness was beyond
the prescription. or how it would pre-
vent the mourning of such indebted
