cUBANs EXPERIENCE
NO DIFFICULTY IN
GETTING THE LOAN
Financial interests Here Are Anxious
Only for Customs Security, Which
viii Be Forthcoming.

New York, Dec. 30. Secretary Des-
PLANES, of the Cuban commission ap-
pointed to obtain a loan of sS5,OOO, 900
in behalf of the new republic, and Min
lister Quesada have visited several
banking houses in this city, where the
dotation Of the loan was discussed.
Regarding the prospects for dispos-
ing Of the bonds, Secretary Desplaines
says:
1--WE expect ITO obtain the loan be-
fore March /. We find that American
bankers object to amy security that
does not guarantee that the customs
revenue of Cuba shall be available for
The payment of interest and sinking
fund charges.
CAS- yet the Cuban house has not
passed the amendment providing for
this, but the Cubans are confident that
this legislation will go through early
next year, and as soon as that is done
the money is ours. We have been as
sured by many bankers that the min
ute this amendment is passed they will
get the required $S5,Ooo,Ooo for us.
"The customs revenues of Cuba are
growing fast. During one month recent
iy they netted s274,oOo, or at the rate
of $S,SoO,OOo a year. The, interest on
the $S5,OOO,OOO would amount to $1,75o,-
900 at per cent, the rate we are to pay
This is all the expense we would be un-
der for the first six years Of the loan.
We are well satisfied with our visit
and regard our mission as practically
accomplished"

cation set afoot by the assurance com
Dany. which already involves 4 large
