That .the withdrawal trom thft Treasury of 17.200,000 in gold for shipment abroad last week 'with oneeXception the lnrgekt airount (if gold ever taken out in a single weekwas the dinngrenble surprise is true; also, that it is difficult to satisfactorily explain why it wn none. Sec rotary CarlisU declines to (lis .""cues the matter for publica tion, simply because there is nothing to he snid at this time. It will be time enough for him to say something alien it sVall be seen whether the enormous demands f o r '.gold of last week are to be kept upj or whether it was merely the result of n tempo r .u y or spasmodic com plica tion of our business relations wiih Europe, it can be sta ted, however, that the ru mors of a contemplated bond issue are entirely without foundation. President Cleve land did not agree to t. h e first issue of bonds until Con fss refused his appeal lor assistance to the Treasury, and, unless there shall ari some extraordinary condi tion placing tin credit of the government in immediate per il, he will not agreee to an other issue of bonds until the Fifty-fourth Congress, which will meet in a few weeks, shall have refused to legislate for the relief of the Treasury. While, of course, possibly it Is not regaided as probable that the demand for gold .vill be sufficient to reduce the re serve fund to a dangerous ex tent between now and the ns semblmg of Congress. Senator dray, of Delaware, now in Washington, says he thinks that when the returns begin to com" in from theco N ton and wheat crop the de mand for gold will stop, but that Congressional legisla tion will be necesury before there is any permanent relief. "I do not," he says, "view the situation as a partisan, but think now as I (lid before this administration wa in augurated, that theevil must be corrected by the divorce of the government from the banking business, and the re formation of the policy eatab lished by the law of '7H, by which the government was compelled to keep a pile of .gold from whi-h everybody was invited who had green backs or treasury notes to hejp himself. The Sherman redemption act was no re- , dernption nt all. White it pro vided for the putting in oper ntion the endless chain, as it : has been called. Until this I.- Kupprcssed there can be no permanent relief. The green backs have got to be rede?m ed. It has been appal ent for yVnrs, bn t unwise legion tion wuMefidinj! un to it, and it ha;f got to be wiped out from tbVfltntute books' to put the treasury on a sound basis." Asked whether he thought the cbv.'iing , Congress would give the relief .desired, 'Sena- tor Gray replied: 'It would be a crime to question' tN in tegrity of the republic." Diligent enquiry has tailed to find a single official who believe 1 there was anything irthe numerous rumors which have tiien fl.iating around Washington for several days concerning the intention of President Cleveland lo reiog nize the i unan rev.iuiion istsas bellig-ients. On the contrary the impression pre vails among officials that the revolutionists are in no con dition to ask for such a n c ognition, although then gue rilia style of warfare ma king Spain spend a great deal more money than she iwn af foid. ThejSpanish minis, er, who returned to Washington to turn over the draftfor the Mora claim, smiled incredu lously whn asked if In be lieved the rumor of early rec ognition for the Cubans, and said the nivolt would soon be put down. A member oi' the administration, who knows Spaniards and Cubans thor oughly says he Inn an idea that if Spain cannot put down the revolt before -cold weather she, will compromise by making Cuba an indepen dent colony, with about the same relations to themotln r country that Canada has with England. He thinks that ; would be about, t he best way to end the business, too, as he doesn't believe Cubans are either fitted for self govern ment or for annexation to the United States at, this this time.altlvmgh they may in time become so. Senator Call, ;f Florida, does, n o t agreee with this view of the matter; but is here openly advocating the complete in dependence of Cuba, .and rec ognition of the revolution ists lv this government as the first tep towards secur ing that independence.
