The authority to issue the bonds is conferred on Thomas Estrada Palma, delegate plenipotentiary of the government of the republic of Cuba to the United States, by Salvador Cisneros Betancourt, president of the republic.

Several Wall street bankers when seen in reference to the matter expressed their belief that the bonds would command a fair price.

Edward F. Draper of Boston, president of the Globe Electric company, said: "I have come over here especially in quest of Cuban bonds. I have reason to believe that I can place at least a quarter of million of them. There is no doubt about the financial success of the issue. The people of Boston knowing that the proceeds of the bonds are to be invested solely for the purpose of furthering the war, they will invest largely through sympathy."

It is said that one of the ablest men in Wall street is conducting the bond issue for the committee of three Cuban merchants appointed by Minister P: I ma sometime ago to perfect the details of the deal.

IT MAY END THE WAR.

Spain Willing to Accept the Good Offices of the United States. CHICAGO, April 16.—A special dis­

patch to The Times-Herald from Washington says: There is now hope that the efforts of the United States to mediate between Spain and the Cuban insurgents will result in the bringing about of negotiations between the rebel leaders and the Spanish government. At least Spain shows signs of acceding to the request recently made by President Cleveland for acceptance of the good offices of the United States.

The negotiations are in the hands of Secretary Olney and Senor de Lome, the Spanish minister. Senor de Lome acting under instructions from his government has made certain inquiries as to the method which the president proposed to follow. If the Spanish minister of foreign affairs finally accepts the good offices of this government, General Fitzhugh Lee, our new consul general at Havana, will be instructed to sound the insurgent leaders as to their willingness to accept reforms in Cuba and on these being guaranteed, to lay down their arms.

ARMS FOR THE CUBANS.

Nearly Six Thousand Machetes Which Will Soon Be Shipped to the Revolutionists.

NEW YORK, April 16.—Stowed away in the hold of the steamship Teutonic when that vessel reached her pier yesterday were arms to be shipped to Cuba for the use of the insurgents. The arms were purchased abroad by an agent of the revolutionary party.

There are 74 cases of the machetes and each case is said to contain one-half gross of the weapons. Tiiere are also 19 cases containing shovels and ma chetes. The shovels in the package are said to be few, and were packed in simply to make it appear that the cases were intended for the use of sugar growers.

The machetes were used originally by the Cubans for cutting sugar cane. The instruments are as long as sabres. Cubans are dexterous in the

Per Cent of the Face Value.

NEW YORK, April 16.—The World publishes the following: Gold bonds of the provisional republic of Cuba will soon be on the market. The securities are already engraved. Sealed proposals for their purchase have been asked, so that the long anticipated financial move on the part of the revolutionists is actually made.

The entire issue planned is $10,000,000, but the first debenture will involve only $2,000,000 of the whole. The bonds are to be of coupon form, payablo in gold at 6 per cent, in denominations of $1,000, $500, $100 and $50, principal and interest payable in Havana or New York.

The recitals in the bonds make principal due 10 years after the evacuation of the island of Cuba by the Spanish forces and all revenues are pledged to the payment of principal and interest. It is understood that while the time is specified for the redemption of the coupons payment may be deferred until six months after the evacuation by Spain. They are to be receivable as tales in proportion of one-fifth. There is no upset price, but no bid under 60 per cent of the face value will be received.
