BANK OF SPAIN
1$ insolvent Says a London
Paper.
RESERVE TO REDEEM.
Paper Money has Long ago
Been Exhausted.
London, Juno 18 —The Statist,
commenting upon the war loan of
th* United States, says:
“The preparation for the Lan
no doubt accounts to some extent
for the fa'l in American railroad
securities this week. The other
principal cause is the collapse ot
the wheat corner, and if there
is very much sei linn oi Ameri
can securities in Europe, as is
believed on the stock exchange,
then it is possible gold may soon
be taken to New York in con
sidarable amount.
American bills are known to
be offering, lndeed.it is said
bills are being drawn against
credits, in anticipation of ordi
nary requirements. Therefore,
it is not at all improbable that
gold may be taken, and if it
goes we shall certainly see a
very considerable recovery in
rates in London.”
Under the heading “Is the
Bank of Spain solvent ?” the
Statist lengthily discusses
Spain’s financial position, say
ing:
“Upon the bank’s ability to
finance the continuation and
duration of the war. Practically,
tiie Spanish government is now
reduced to the expedient of
using the printing press to meet
its war outlays, and the longer
that printing press is in oppera
tion and the mere notes are is
sued the greater will be the de
preciation in the value of the
paper peseta. If the war lasts
much longer, we may see the
paper peseta, which is now at a
discount of 50 per cent, depreci
ate as did the Assignat of France
at the close of the last century.
The formal suspension of specie
payments cannot long be delay
ed. Indeed the suspensionshave
practically occurred.”
The Statist then presents an
array of figures showing the ex
act position of the bank, with a
note circulation of 1,318,000 pes
etas, without any certain reserve
available for its redemption,and
further pointing out that such
note circulation may be increas
ed to 2,500,000.000. Finally,the
Statist says that in three years
the Spanish and Cuban govern
ments have borrowed 1,000,000,-
000 pesetas from the Bank of
Spain.

Camara is Said to Haun
Qditted Cadii
WITH HIS RESERVE FLEET
Presented With a Flag of Hon
or Before Starting.
Madrid June 18.—Great secre
cy is maintained here in regard
to the destination of Admiral
Camara’s fleet. The Spanish
papers say that work is being
actively continued on the forti
fications in the Canary and Ba
laric islands. The Liberal reit
erates the declaration that “if
Spain has nothing to hope from
the powers, she is still able to
defend herself.”
Before the departure of the
Spanish warships a flag of hon
or embroidered by the ladies of
Cadiz was presented to the offi
cers of the cruiser Charles V. It
was a solemn ceremony. The
flag was blessed by a priest on
the deck of the vessel, who made
a patriotic speech.
Capt. Aunon subsequently
held a council of war with the
commanders of all the ships of
the squadron on board the bat
tleship Pelayo. Capt. Aunon,
after the departure of Admiral
Camara, read the premier the
following message:
“The reserve squadron and
the troops of the expeditionary
corps on leaving Spanish waters
send greeting to the government
and the fatherland and affirm
their desire to fight for them.”
There was also telegraphed to
the queen regent enthusiastic
greetings from the squadron
and announced the determina
tion to fight to the last final
honor. It is announced that
Capt. Aunon, after inspecting
the arsenal at Cartbagena, will
return to this city and organize
another squadron of war ships.
He sent a message to the pre
mier that he was much satisfied
with the condition of the squad
ron of Admiral Cemara. Pre
mier Sagasta, it is said, hopes
to prorogue the chamber of dep
uties in the next week.
