Havana Bankers Decline
to Take Up Proposed
Loan Bonds.
FEAR OF TEE CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
Section of Platt Amendment Causes
Comment-American Clerks Granted
Leave of Absence With One Months
Pay-Stability of Republic.

HAVANA. July 9.-The house has
granted the request OF the American
employees of the auditors Office who re-
mained here to audit the military ac-
counts, for a months leave OF absence
with pay
The action Of Havana bankers in de-
clining TO offer to take UP the proposed
government loan of 100000 is much
commented upon.
The "Diario de la Marinas'' says the
guarantees OF the government were in
sufficient The government proposed
Offering as security a percentage or the
increased receipts TO be collected on
certain articles. the duties on which
were 10 be raised These would prob
ably have been articles of luxury, Gus
toms receipts from which will probably
decline. together with other customs re-
ceipts, owing TO the cloudy economic
outlook.
Moreover. the second article OF the
Plat law seems to imply that only the
surplus from ordinary sources of income
may be devoted to the payment of debts
Incurred by the state, and when there
is no surplus creditors of the state can
not make claims for payment.
Furthermore. even II congress and the
supreme court OF Cuba declared the
pledging Of the customs receipts legal
the United States would have a say in
the matter. II is said the American
capitalists will furnish the money.
These may be on the inside as regards
the Interpretation Of the P!att law.
The Discussion says that some
bankers, Influenced by passion, wished
the government TO fail in its attempt
10 raise loan. hoping this would dis-
credit the stability Of the republic.
Others had plenty Of confidence. 1t adds
that the loan Will be made.

QUESTION OF STARTING
THE IRRIGATION WORKS
Wyoming May Get First
Benefit of Legislation.
Politics May Enter Into Selections of
Best Places to Try Congress
sional Enactment.

There has been much speculation as
TO where the actual work of constructing
reservoirs and bitches under the new
irrigation law will be begun. There are
but few points where the surveys ana
specifications have been completed. so
that contracts could be let this sum
mer. Arizona claims three such places.
but it is wholly. unlikely that any work
will be done there this season.
A Territory will have to stand back
and wait until some State has the first
chance. The practical work OF building
irrigating works is now matter of ad-
ministration to be passed on by the Of
ticials Of the Interior Department. and
there Will be good deal of inanipula-
ton to secure the first advantages OF
the law. Even Colorado has slight
chance to have any share of the bless
ings of the work to be done this sea-
son, for her Senators and Representa-
tives are in the opposition, and they
have already made up their minds that
they will have to wait chile before
they get any irrigation work under head
way in their State.
TheJ same is true OF Idaho. It is pas
sible that several small contracts will
be surveyed and let for reservoirs in
Nebraska this summer, but nothing eX-
tensive will be started there this year
Wyoming, however, seems slated for
some extensive work under the new ir-
rigation policy. Senator Warren, Of
that State, has been most active ad-
vocate of the new law, and has a strong
grip on the administrative force that
will have direction OF the work to be
taken up.
The night before the President left
Washington for Pittsburg senator War
rem dined with him. for the express pur-
pose of discussing the practical way Of
setting the new system III operation, as
provided for by the new law. The Sen
ator's practical knowledge of the West
ern country, and especially OF the op-
por,unities for storing water in his own
State, to be used on the lands of Wyom-
ing. Colorado. and Nebraska. has un-
doubtedly been drawn upon TO arrange
the first program of work By the Blu
reau of Irrigation. Wyoming can be
counted on 10 have the first impetus of
the new irrigation system. 1t means
much to the State in the way Of de-
velopment of present resources, also in
immigration. and with the consequent
growth of cities and towns and the
building OF railroads and opening Of new
mining property. The situation may
serve to set Wyoming far ahead Of 9TH
er mountain States for years TO cone.

The Holt will case has passed into
history. The final order in the i.tiga-
tion over the estate left by the late
Judge Joseph Holt was signed yester-
cay by Chief Justice Bingham, of the
Supreme Court of the District. sitting
