SPAIN CAN NO LONGER DOUBT.
Cuba's Obligations Must Be Assumed
by the Cuban Government.

Cuba's Obligations Must Be Assumed
by the Cuban Government.
Paris. Oct. 19.-Spain can no longer
have any doubt regarding the ultimate
attitude OF the United States toward
the so-called Cuban debt. The Ameri-
can commissioners have declined to as
sumo any part of it. by express treaty
of by contract. They also declined to
accept a cession of sovereignty to the
United States, for in that case Spain
would claim that such a cession by its
own force would impose the obligation
for that debt.
1T is confidently believed that in re-
fusing to accept the accession or SOW
ereignty the American commissioners
are acting also upon their announce
ment to the world in the Intervention
resolutions disclaiming any intention
to exercise sovereignty or authority
over Cuba. except for paciflcation, and
then to leave the island to the control
of its people and its people to the as
sumption of its obligations.
This position of the commissioners
couples itself with the declaration in
the resolution that the people of Cuba
are by right and ought to be free and
independent. and good faith requires
the performance of this declaration il
being plain that. if Cuba were annexed
to the United States. while she might
be free, she would not be Independent.
