Spanish Claims For Damages Arc About
Ia BE Settled

Ia BE Settled.
MADRID. Feb. et-The minister of for.
eign affairs has received cable message
from the Spanish minister at Washing.
ton. saying that the United States govern
ment has admitted the principle of the
Spanish claim for damages to Spanish
subjects, who suffered during the Florida
war.
WASHINGTON, Feb 2i.-The Spanish
claims against the United States, which
the Spanish minister cabled his govern.
ment are advancinf, toward adjustment
by reason Of admission of their justice,
are so old that they are identified with
the early existence of this government.
They arose through an invasion of Flor
Ida by the American army about the be-
ginning OF this century, when Florida
was Spanish province.
The troops seized or destroyed some
personal property Of Spanish subjects,
who after the cession Of Florida took up
their residence in Cuba, declining to give
allegiance to the new flag. In the treaty
of 1919, enacted between Spain and the
United States, articles were included pro
viding for the settlement of damages sus-
tanned by these Spanisrds. but these
claims have been pending ever since.
II isprobable that, together with mum.
ber of Spanish claims against the United
States and of the United States against
Spain, they will eventually form the basis
for the appointment of a Joint commis-
sion to adjust these complicated matters.
The amount of the claims is said to be
In the neighborhood of q, 900. 600.
