LOAN OF S33,OO0,OOO
IS SOUGHT BY ECUADOR
Dr.. Cueva Garcia Sent to England to
Enter Into Negotiations with
Financiers.
ANTI-AMERIcAN POLICY IS SEEN

In an effort to obtain loan of SO, 900, =
COO with which to liquidate all its out
standing obligations and also to defray
the cost of the proposed sanitation of
Guayaquil- the government of Ecuador
has made DR.. Cueva Garcia, former Min
lister to Panama, Minister to Great
Britain. where he will enter into nego-
tations with British bankers.
DR.. Garcia came to Washington en-
route to his new post, and. before sail
ing for London. conferred with officials
at the State Department. This govern
ment is interested in Ecuador's endeavor
to negotiate this loan. by reason Of the
large American financial interests in
Ecuador, and also because of its desire
that the project for the sanitation of
Guayaquil shall be carried out. Despite
this great interest on the part of the
United States, and its virtual responsi-
bility for the movement for the santa
ton OF Guayaquil, the Ecuadorians are
Continuing their anti-American policy.
and are making it a point that no Amer
lean capital shall be involved in the
proposed loan.
Those most familiar with the consid-
erations involved are pessimistic over the
prospect of the Quito government meet
ing with success in seeking such a large
loan. 1t is desired by. Ecuador to con-
vert about s25,OOoO09 worth of outstand-
ing obligations by means of the new loan.
and then use the rest for Guayaquil sani-
tation and other public works. 1t is
proposed 20 give as security certain taxes
in Ecuador. The Ecuadorian government
is averse to granting the lenders any lien
on its customs receipts. but it is the opin-
ion that il will have difficulty in OBJ
tanning the money unless such a secur-
ty is offered.
Most Of the foreign debt of Ecuador is
held by British and German interests.
some of il in the United States. The chief
American financial holding is the Quito
and Guayaquil Railroad, owned by an
American corporation.
1t is understood the contract for the
sanitation Ct Guayaquil will be executed
whether the new loan is obtained or not
Port dues of the city, amounting to about
100000 year, are to be used to defray
the cost of the work in case the loan
falls through. The contractors, J. c.
White & Co, OF London. are planning 10
spend each year. in such a case. only
an amount equivalent to the port dues.
1t already has been made known that
the Ecuadorian government insisted upon
a provision in the contract for the work
barring all American materials. The J.
o. White representatives had to agree
10 conduct the whole matter entirely
separate from their New York office.

The Supreme Court of the United States
was yesterday called upon to decide
whether the immigration officials under
existing law have the right to deport a
man who admits that he has committed
bigamy. but who was never convicted in
any court for the offense. The case be-
fore the court is that of Jeheio Rosen.
who was arrested in New York City at
the instance of his wife. who said that
he was annoying her. She alleged that
be had been married TO her in Russia
and also married a woman in London
He admitted this.
The Immigration Bureau held that these
acts constitute moral turpitude and war
ranted deportation" The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals of the Second
circuit upheld the bureaus view. Rosen
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States for writ of habeas corpus,
which would get him free and overturn
the ruling of the Department of Labor.
