ENGLAND TO TAKE IT UP MAY LOSE CUBAN FUNDSI
Possibility Of Withdra7cd from the
National Bank at Hauan0.
rFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. Nov 11.-Reports received here
indicate that the Cuban national funds may be
withdrawn at early date from the Banco
Nacional de cuba, which succeeded the North
American Trust Company. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Palma recently requested an Influential
Cuban Senator to look into certain rumors af-
fecting the solidity of the institution. and that
Congressman Marcos Longa al the opening of
the Cuban House moved that the President of
the republic transmit a copy of the contract
made between the government and the National
Bank Of Cuba. which contract is said to have
terminated last June, although the bank still
holds the national funds and makes payments
for the Treasury. 1t further desired to
know the exact the republic has on deposit
with this bank and if # draws any interest
The Royal Bank of Canada at Havana took
the contract to pay off the Cuban Revolutionary
army with the S3J,O00000 loan recently hoated
in NewYork by bankers who underhid the Ma
uonal Bank Of Cuba. In the American admin
lstration in Cuba, owing to the lack of banking
facilities, the North American Trust COMPANY
the predecessor of the Banco Nacional de Cuba,
was permitted by contract to charge as high a $
one-half of l per cent for handling government
Cuba. and subsequently. when cuba became in
dependent, IT bound to respect this contract
under the Platt amendment.
This arrangement, which netted the North
American Trust Company and its successor enor-
NOUS sums, is not believed be satisfactory TO
the Cuban Republic There are several first
ciaSs banking institutions in Cuba anxious to
OBTAIN government deposits, which they would
dlsburse at One-tenth of | per cent, and it is not
neheNed that the National Bank Of Cuba will
be permitted to retain the government millions
charging therefor 30 cents 500
II IS said here that, even though the contract
had not expired. there is no provision in the
Plat amendment which would operate against
action by the Cuban Congress looking to the re-
ducuon of charges for disbursements.
