Paris, oct. IS. l1a5 p. m.-spain can no
longer hove any doubt regarding the ulu-
mate attitude Of the United states to-
ward The so-called CUBAN debt The
American commissioners have declined 90
assume It, or any part Of It. by express
treaty or by contract.
They also declined to accept a cossion
of sovereignty to the United States, for
in that case Spain would claim that such
a cesaou b. its own force would impose
the obligation for that debt
1t is confidently believed that in refus-
lag to accept a cesson Of sovereignty the
American commissioners are acting also
upon thcir announcement to the world in
the Intervention resolutions disclaiming
any intention to exercise sovereignty or
authority over Cuba. except for pacifca-
ton, and then to leave the island to the
control Of It's people and its people to the
assumption Of It's obligations.
La Liberte, referring TO the Cuban debt
as now dividing the two countries"
says: "The Spanish regard the refusal
Of the United States TO assume the Cuban
debt as an exaggerated pretension."
In one sentence La Liberte declares that
Spanish finances were ruined in trying
to suppress the Cuban nsurrection." and
I'm the next IL says that the debt was
contracted for the benefit Of Cuba"
Then it points to Spain as pleading for
arbitration where the commissions do not
agree. and says. "The Washington cab,-
