NEW YORK , Aug. 18. Assistant Score
tary of the Treasury Vanderllp , who hai
been hearing some suggestions fron
different directions on the possibility o
limiting the Issue of bonds to an umoun
below $200,000,000 , the full Issue au
thorlzed , the Idea of the suggestors belnj
that the termination of the _ war remove ;
the necessity for more money than wll
be piovlded for by the customs and en
larged Internal revenue receipts , smlle <
when was asked about the probablllt ;
of the adoption of the suggestion. "It li
a very pretty suggestion , " Mr. Vandcrll ]
said , "but I do not believe It will b (
adopted. The treasury Has already ac
ccp'ted the' loan and agreed fo furnish thi
bon'ds for the subscribers. A part of thi
bonds have been sent out and othets wll
follow. It Is true there 'has been lea !
pressing need for money , ns the closing o
the n-ar will remove the necessity for sorn <
largo expenses , but those already Incurm
must bo met and some will accrue whci
hostilities are interrupted.
"Tho cost of the treasury , putting the
expenditures on account of the war a
about 1150,000,000 since hostilities began
art ! not considered as covering all expense !
on account of the war , but simply thosi
items.In tbo treasury statement that an
charged up directly to the War and Nav ;
departments. "
WASHINGTON , Aug. 18. It le the oplnlor
of the officials of the Treasury department
that there will bo no necessity for anothei
bond Issue growing out of the war , and thai
the present revenue law , with posslblj
slight modifications , should be retained or
the statute , book , for an Indefinite period ,
The.J .QWjljig may-bo taken , ' astheviews ol
the Treasury .department on 'the , subject ; - If
may bo confidently hoped ttmt no furthei
Issues of bonds will be necessary In connec
tion with bringing the extraordinary war ex
penditures to a close. With the treasury
well supplied for the early future , and with
the power conferred upon the secretary tc
make temporary loans to the extent of $100-
000,000 If required , and further resort to
bond issues seems a most remote proba
bility , This Tlow is reinforced by the fact
that with the operation of the excise and
stamp taxes the revenues of the government
will largely exceed disbursements based
upon ordinary peace conditions. This 'in
crease in revenue ought to and will provide
for an Increase in war and navy expendi
tures , which no doubt will be witnessed even
after active military operations have termi
nated. That enlarged expenditures for the
navy and army over the pant will be neces
sary Is most obvious , and it Is a matter ol
congratulation that by the wise action ol
congress the government revenue has been
*
put on a broad and effective basis.

LONDON. Aug. 18. The Morning Post ,
commenting editorially on the interpreta
tion , which Senor Sllvela , leader of the
Spanish dissident conservatives , places on

Ined to the officers , but that the rank and
