THE SUBWAY PROBLEM,
BabcOck Outlines the Posi-
ton of the District Committee.

Chairman BabcOck Outlines the Posi-
ton of the District Committee.
The special subcommittee on subways of
the House District committee will consist
of Messrs. Babcock, chairman; Harmer
Mines, Richardson and Cobb of Missouri
The committee will hold an executive ses-
SIGN tomorrow morning at II o'clock to ar
range the preliminaries of the work before
them.
Il believe the proper solution of the sub
way problem said Chairman Babcock to
a Star reporter today, lis municipal owner
ship absolute of all subways. However, If
that is not obtainable think the next best
method is a system of subways constructed
perhaps by private corporation, but under
the control of the municipal government"
This statement by Chairman Babcock is
believed to outline the position of the Dis
trict committee on this subject. 1t there
fore may be accepted the probable key
of the situation that may be developed by
the committees considerations. The COM
mittee at its meeting tomorrow will lay out
a plan of campaign which may include
hearings, and at least will result in an early
report upon the subway problem.

INDEPENDENCE OR NOTHING
Peace in Cuba Obtainable on No Other
Terms.
A Decree of the Government and an
Article In the Cuban COnsti-
tuition Prohibit 1t.

Representatives of the Cuban republic in
this city have discontinued all discussion
of the proposition reported to have been
made by the United States to Spain looking
toward mediation in the affairs of the lat
ter nation and the Ievolutonists in Cuba.
Senor de Quesada and his colleagues de-
cline to answer any questions propounded
on the subject. 1t is believed that their
reason for adopting this course may be
found In the fact that according to their
view there is no possible chance or prob
ability Of the Cuban war being brought TO
an end Dy any other means than the
achievement of absolute independence by
the Cuban people, who are now fighting
for it, 1t would be dangerous indeed for
any person to propose any other means OF
settling the controversy, because the only
absolute decree issued by the present gov
eminent Of Cuba, which prescribes pun
ishment without granting to the offender
a preliminary trial by court-martial or
otherwise relates to this very question.
The Declarations of the Decree.
The decree in question was drawn up
during the last revolution by Thomas Es-
trada Palma, who is now the chief repre-
sentative of the Cuban republic in the
United States This decree was reafiirmed
by Gems Marti and Gomez shortly after
they landed in Cuba in Marcl, 1880 and
has been reissued by the present CUBAN
dent the Marquis de Santa Lucia. 1t de-
clares that any person who shall suggest
within the Cuban ranks ii settlement of
the present war on any ground less tnan
that of absolute independence shall be inn
m ediately shot without court-martial.
If that were not sufficient to prevent the
cor sideration of other terms of peace by
the Cubans there is clause in their con-
stitution which would stand in the way.
Article II Of that document reads as fol-
lows: '"The treaty of peace with Spain,
which must necessarily have for its basis
the absolute indepe ndence Of the Island of
Cuba, must be ratified by the government
council and by an assembly of representa-
tiycs convened expressly for this purpose
Cubans Unanimous Against Promises.
1t is claimed, therefore, that any offer of
it's services on the part Of the United
States government to bring the Cuban
revolution to an end would result in moth
ing unless there was a great and sudden
change in the sentiments of the Cuban
people So far as the Cubans in this coun-
try ara concerned, they are said to be
unit against accepting any promises of re-
form that Spain might make, even If they
included the broadcast sort of homo rule.
They claim to be convinced that their
brethren in Cuba are on the sure road to
success in behalf of their cause, and are
enthusiastic in their declarations that
Spain will be driven to acknowledge the
independence of the island in spite Of her.
self So they scout the idea of the republic
accepting any terms from Spain save on
the lines laid down as stated.

The Debtor Clerks,


To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Anent Anon's CLERKS and Their Cred
TORS" in a recent Issue of The Star, 1t is
an indisputable record fact known and
read of all men who have had dealings with
government clerks, that many of them do
not generally pay their honest debts. This
fact has become proverbial. And the rea-
son is manifest. certain department en-
ploye, receiving big salary, repeatedly re-
fused to pay an honest debt due my clients,
albeit they had INDUCED him until it had
nearly outlawed. We obtained judgment
against him and thereupon requested the
he ad CT his department to take cogniza nee
of said judgment debt; but he deity and
debonnairly evades the issue by protesting
that he cannot permit his great department
to become a mere collection agency. Hence,
such dishonest employees seek shelter under
the departmental aegis, knowing that they
are immune from all legal attacks, and can
laugh with impunity at their honest judg-
ment creditors. SINE CERA.
