THE MORA CLAIM.
spain Makes Move the Administration
Does Not Understand.


MADRID. July 3.EThe Spanish gov
ernmens has appointed q oommittee to
consider the claims of the United States
regarding Che confiscstion of the estate
OF Antonio Maxine Mora, an Americsn
ciNzen, residing on the island Of Cuba.
The value of the property taken from
mora was alleged to be about SO, 500, 600.
This was done during previous insur-
rsciion In Cuba. In December, 1896,
Spain promised to pay $1,000. coo under
this claim, with interest on such part OF
the indemnity rs should be deferred.
a Washington dispatch SAYS: The
State Department. has not yet been
advised OF the appointment of o conn
mitsee by the Spanish government to
consider the claim Of Antonio Mora, and
the purpose of this move can onlv be-
conjectured. Fit is proposed to In.
stitute an original inquiry into the
merits OF Morals claim, 1t Is probable
that our government will decidedly re-
fuse to be bound by any findings the
committee may reach, for, from our
point OF view, this Is no longer claim
in legal sense, but q Judgment reached
after full inquiry and confessed by the
Spanish governm emit in terms that make
1t as binding as any Judgment can be.
the purpose is to placate
puDic opinion In SpSln, which has run
very strongly against the allowance of
Mors's claim. and pave the way for the
payment OF the money, it is not proba-
BILE that our government will interfere
by an open expression Of dissent from
the proposed program. Again It may
be that the object of the movement ia to
provide means for raising the money
and settling the debt by one OF the
methods peculiar to Spanish fnanciers.
II Is recalled that early in the 3O's,
when the United States had q good
claim against Spain for shipping de-
atroyed. the Spanish government al
lowed the claim. but instead of paying
directly the small amount OF money iua
volved, the ministry, which was then in
severe financial straits, as Is is now,
owing to the great expense OF the oper-
alton against the Cuban insurgents,
finally, after much delay, adopted the
expedient OF Issuing royal warrants or
bonds on that account, which the
United States accepted in behalf of the
owners OF the ships destroyed. and then
spent many years in the effort to induce
the Spanish government to redeem these
bonds.
1t is believed here that il the latest
move of the SpsniArds Ia not solely in
the interest of delay, it may be designed
to frame similar scheme for the settle.
ment of Morals claim.
