How the Secretary Explains an All
legged Purchase of Venezuela Bonds.
Washington, June 5.-Secretary Taft
considered today the Bowen-Loomts
matter and examined at some length.
Nicholas Biddle, a correspondent of the
New York Herald, who visited Caracas
some time ago. It MS Mr.. Btddle who
published in the Herald what purported
ito be a note from Mr.. Loomis to Mr..
Russell. the secretary Of legation.
notifying him that he would buy a por-
ton of the Mercador claim. The ex-
!planation Of the letter by Mr.. LOOMS
its in substance as follows:
THE Spanish government sold a tor
pedo boat to the government Of Vene-
,zuela for 10000 bolivars. Instead OF
the cash 1t was arranged that the Vene-'
'zuelan government should turn / 1000, 900
bolivars in salt bonds at their face
value. After r~eimbursing itself to the.
extent Of 400, 900 boliyars the Spanish,
government was to turn over the re-
mainder of the salt bonds to the Amer
lean minister at Caracas, the proceeds,
of which was to De applied to meeting
certain claims against the Venezuelan
government. This arrangement was,
approved in Washington. Among these
claims was one amounting to about
&C, 1000 bolivars due one Mercador, a
promoter and business man, on accoun
lof a contract; another for $4,000 boil
tyars on account of the German railway.
and several minor claims. Mercador.
sought a loan from A.. j. Jaurett. who
was at that time semi-oflcially at
tached to the American legation. Jau-,
irett lacked $4,000 of the necessary
amount and borrowed 1t from Mr..
LOOMS. pledging a portion OF the Mer-l
'cador claim as security, and this was
subsequently redeemed by the sale OF
"a portion Of the salt bonds to the bank
er. Mr.. Loomis was on vacation and,
not in Caracas at the time, which ac-i
counts for the writing OF the note tol
Mr.. Russell. He received for his $4,000
just 35.OS0."
Secretary Taft does not now believes
that 1t will be necessary to take the tes-i
timony Of any witness besides Mr.. Rus-I
sell, now on the way to washington
from Cartagena.

Paris, June 5.-A semioffcial version
of the bomb explosion given out today
increases the gravity of the affair and
shows the narrowness Of the escape Of
both King Alfonso and President
Loubet. The left panel Of the carriage
which was the side M. Loubet occupied,
has five ~perforations. A footman
named Victor. sitting on the left side
Of h vehicle, received a splinter in
the thigh, and both horses were injured.
One Of the horses Of the republican
guards, one of the escort, received the
full charge, thus diverting it from the
two rulers. The king, noticing a mo-,
mentary confusion among the escort,
Gained them by saying: "Reassure
yourselves, gentlemen, this is moth
Ing"
Then, turning to the frightened
crowd, he added:
Calm yourselves. This is moth
ing"
Afterward the king told M. I.oubet
that this was his fourth providential
escape from an attempt on his life.
