American Banker*.
New York, Dec. 29.?'Secretary Da*
lames of the Cuban commission, afoiuted
to obtain a loan of 135,'000,000
i behalf of the new republic, and
fillister Quesada, have vlalted several
an king houses in this city vhere the
otatlon of the loan was discuseed.
ltegarding the prospects for dlspo*lg
of the bonds, Secretary D*^
laines said:
"We expect to obtain the loan before
larch 1. We find that American banders
object to a security that doe* not
uarantee, that the customs revenue
f Cuba shall be available for the
ayment of interest and sinking fund
harges.
"As yet, the Cuban house ban nod
assed the amendment providing fee
his, but the Cubans are confident that
his legislation will go through early
text year, and as soon as that is dona
he money is ours.
"The .customs revenue ^of Cuba ar*
frowinytj^^ During one month ro
:ently tl^^otted 5274,000, or at th?
ate of about 33.300,000 a year. Tha
Merest on 335,000,000 would amount
o 11,750,000 at 5 por cent, the rate \
ve are to pay. This Is all the top
jsneo we would be under for the Anft
ilx years of the loan. We ere well
satisfied with our visit and regard oaf
nlMion as practically accomplished."
