the report that such the case was recTiNeu
with considerable favor by officials interested
in Cuban affairs The United States Govern
nlent has given intimation to Cuba that the
proposed loan did not meet with favor, but the
fact that Minister Squiers's dispatch relating
to it was communicated to the Treasury De-
partment. and discussed among officials mere as
TO its relation to the provisions of the Platt
amend ment, probably was considered by Presi-
dent Palma unofficial expression that the
loan was injudicious at this time
Regarding the proposed tariff in Cuba, another
unofficial intimation has been made that the
changes owing to the increases upon the prod
ucts Of the United States probably would m
jure the prospects of reciprocity between the
countries.
