OUESADA on CUBAN LOAN.
HIS GOVERNMENT NOT INTENDING 10
CREATE \ DEBT IT CANNOT CARRY,
HE SAYS.
Try TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE, J

Washington Aug 15.-Sehor Quesada. the
Cuban Minister. discussed to-day with dipio-
matte reserve the proposition of his gov
ernment 10 borrow $35O00G00 by issuing
bonds for that amount drawing per cent
interest and to be paid in accordance
with the terms Of the Platt amendment.
which provides that Cuba shall not as
sumo or contract any public debt TO pay the
interest upon which, and TO make reasonable
sinking fund provision for the ultimate dis
charge Of which the ordinary revenues OF the
island. after defraying the current expenses of
government shall be inadequate"
Sehor Quesada intimated strongly that in this
loan proposition. his government has been pro-
ceedng as If II were a subject with which the
United States had nothing to do. He did not
state his opinion in direct a manner or in
such bald terms here employed. but the
effect of his language was the same.
MY government he said, rs moving very
cautiously in the matter and we are not going
to do anything that would burden with
load of debt we could carry. 1t seems to
have been overlooked in this country that the
loan proposition has not yet become a law.
that it has only reached the Senate, and has not
yet been finally acted upon by the House of our
Congress, and that even If II passes the House.
IL will have TO go to the President Cor approval.
In other words. the procedure of our Congress
veto on all acts just there is In this ccun-
try. If the act is passed, and is then approved
by President Palma, next concern V i'll be
to place the bonds OF course, we cannot
place them unless are able to show TO
investors two essential facts-frst, that they
are legal and second. our ability to pay
interest promptly and redeem the bonds when
the principal becomes due. Hence unless II is
evident In advance of issue that estab-
lish the value of these bonds to the complete
satisfaction Of the financial world. would
authorize the President TO negotiate a loan of
such proportion, would President Palma
give the act his necessary approval. We are
forbidden by our constitution from contracting
debts in excess of ability to pay without
overstrainng our revenues. That clause
put into our constitution before knew that
the Platt amendment was. so you see we had in
mind Just what animated the trainers of the
PIatt amendment this point 1 was mem
Der of the Constitutional Convention. and
member distinctly the discussion of this mpor-
tant clause at the time"
Minister Quesada then handed to The Trib
une correspondent the following temzed report
on Cuban revenues for the month of July:

Rich Land.

The man that dreams of farming
always imagines himself owning rich
land. There is no other kind that
1t Is pleasure to till. There is no
other kind that will yield profit
from the operation of tillage. The
richness of land regulates the value
OF the farm both la the market and
In the operation of farming. Yet in
The face of this well-known fact, mil
lions OF acres of our most valuable
and productive land have been al
lowed to deteriorate in fertility. The
great problem of how to bring them
back to their former state of fertility
Is one with which the best Of scien-
lists are working. 1t is not practical
for man to buy enough stable ma
nure or commercial fertilizers to at
once bring back his land to its origin
al state. A few facts in relation to
the composition of the soil helps us
In determining the best course to
pursue. One OF these facts is that
the poverty OF the land comes prln-
cipnily from the exhaustion of avail
able plant food and not from the ex-
haustlon OF the plant food that is not
at once available. In the process OF
years the new unavailable plant food
becomes available, some each year.
We have but to put back on the soil
year by year as much as we take of
In the way OF fertilizer to gradually
bring back the land to a rich condi-
ton. by the annual increase Of avail
able plant food from natural causes.
This Is slow process. but 1t is far
better than no process OF recupera-
ton.

Necessity for Pruning.

Weak plants often show a great pro.
fusion OF bloom In the spring. but at
harvest timo the berries are few and
inferior. The stamens and plstils not
being vigorous, the pollen lacks po-
tency or life-giving power. and. as al.
ready explained. where there are no
seeds there can be no fruit, and weak
reeds always produce inferior fruit.
In plants unrestricted and propagated
promlscuously. you Will always notice
some plants fruiting fairly well. others
sparingly, and stiIl others entirely bar
rem.
Notice that when apple trees bloom
very full-white al snow--when every
twig Is loaded with blossoms. very
little fruit sets. and what does grow
Is small and inferior In quality. This
Ia because the tree does not have the
ability TO impart potency or life to so
much pollen. Our largest crops Of
nns fruits arc grown whom we have
moderate bloom. or the trees have
been restricted by close pruning boz
fore blossoms open In the spring. They
can then concentrate their powers on
fewer blossoms. tho potency OF pollen |

To Pack Flowers.

1t is a mistake to use cardboard
boxes in packing flowers to be sent
by mail. Always use a tin box, lin
ing it with sheet of damp moss and
above this a sheet of florists paper,
or tissue paper if the other Is not at
hand, taking care that it fits into the
corners and around the sides. The
flowers should be placed in, row after
row, until there is layer of flowers
fitting into the other all over the bot
tom of the box. Never crowd nor
put one layer on the top of another.
The rows must be as close together as
possible; the flower heads of each
row should be on the stems of the
row Immediately preceding it, so that
when the box is finished only flowers
are to be seen and no stems.
