Treasury and Money Matter* In General
In a Healthy Condition .
Although the Presidents message
on the Spanish-American trouble
was scheduled to be given to the
senate and house on Wednesday
last, it was again withheld, and the
prospects are that it will not be sent
in before the first of next week. A
•sblegram from Consul Gensral Lee,
at Havanna, aent to the President
oa Tuesday evening last made an
urgent request upon him that if the
message was to contain advise to
congiess of intervention, that it
would be better withheld for a few
days longer so as to- give him time
to get all the Ameiicansofftbe island
as a declaration of that kind would
arrouse the smothered wrath that
the Spaniard contains for the Ame
ricans and would endanger their
lives, therefore the President at once
called together the leading senators
and representatives and notified
them of the request, and it was de
ei(led not to make known tne con
tents of the message until time was
given for all Americans to leave Culm.
Of course the request being heartily
concurred in by all political parties.
Half dozen vessels are now at
work removing them as fast as poss
able, and by the first of uext week
it is expected that all who wish to
avail themselves of the opportunity
will be in the United States.
Dispatches from Washington
state that Minister Woodford’s fam
ily have left Madrid, and that the
Minister himself is all ready to aban
don the legation at, a moments not ice,
all American citizens and their in
terests in Spain will be placed in the
hands of the British Minister at
Madrid, the staff of the American
legation have already left Madrid, and
are now in Paris where they will
remain until matters take a turn one
way or the oilier.
’’Consul General Lee is still at his
post and will remain there until all
other Americans are safe. The pres
idents message has only been chang
ed in that it will ask congress to
authorize and direct immediate inter
vention. Otherwise the message
will stand, and will be of such a vig
erous, ringing character as to meet
the fullest expectations of the
country.
It will inevitably mean war. Hos
tilities can only be averted by Spain
herself declaring the indipendence
of Cuba and yielding her sovereignty
•ver the Island.

to the freedom of Culm and will ac

net gold. We are $70,000,000 above
the traditional reserve maintained
for the redumption of the United
Stated notes and the notes of 1 wJM
and th< tendariey is towards an in
crease at the rate of $200,000 a day.
About |0 per cent of ttie custom
receipts are being paid in gold.
Of the great stock of gold in the
country the national hanks alone
bold more than $220,000,000. Since
tin? disaster to the Maine in Iluvunna
harbor, banks throughout the whole
country have quietly pursued a poli
cy which, without disturbing busi
ness has made them financially
strong (not less important to the
country's wellare than impregnable
fortifications and coast defenses.)
But notwithstanding the stroDg
financial position of the government
and of the moneyed instutions of
the country, there would in any sort
of conflict, soon be a necessity for
aditional revenue. Undoubted
ly if war should come our first vic
ory should be the placing of the
treasury upon a war basis. Ex
pedition in that direction arc of
the utmost importance.”
It is thought that a temporary loan
of $100,000,000 will be necessary
and that the amount can be easily
raised, also that a loan of $‘)00,000,
0i)0 at .'i percent, ii' necessary, could
readily he obtained from our own
capitalists.

was answered in the affirmative and
then the manager was asked if he
knew him. “Know him” said the
manager, “well I guess so; met him
severul years ago and he gave me a
great scare. You see it happened
this way: \Vo were stopping at a
