Besides the Loss Of Her Colonies and
Destruction Of Navy.
Because of the Low Condition Of
Spain's Treasury and the Infe-
riority of Her Navy, American
Representatives on the Peace
Commission Will Be in Position
to Bring the Madrid Govern
ment to Terms at Amy Moment.

NEW YORK, Sept. PA special to
the Herald" from Washington says:
Aside from the loss of her colonies
and the ships destroyed in battle, the
war has cost Spain about $3S4, 500, 100.
Information to this effect has been re-
ceiyed at the Navy Department from
the naval attaches of this Government
abroad. Including the cost of prepara-
tion in anticipation of the war begun
by Spain in May, 1895, these sums have
been raised and expended:
From the sale of 322 944 Cuban notes,
$25, n, 255; from the sale of 10000 Gu
ban notes of 1886, So, 5,7S4,S ,S97; loan of
400, 100000 pesetas on the customs
guarantee, $74,4O0,000; from the sale OF
silver etc., $3.50, 1873; loan of the Bank
of Spain on the Cuban guarantee, sos,
400, 600; loan of the Bank of Spain on
the customs guarantee, SIS, 200 900;
loan of the Bank of Spain on guaran-
tee of contributions, So 100000; loan
of the Bank of Spain 4 per cent inter
nal debt, $29,000,000 Philippine taxes,
$37 100000. These sums do not include
debts for transports, etc, contracted
by the Government which are placed
at approximately $62,000,00O.
possession of the department, all The
money has been expended on expedi
tions sent to the colonies, whose total
amounts to $50, ,431 soldiers, 6,223 Off
GERS, and about 100 Generals. Of the
millions expended only S5600,000 was
spent by the Spanish Government to
increase its naval force. lei Mundo'
of Spain, commenting upon this small
appropriation for the navy, with such
a large sum expended for the army,
points out that this sum was sufficient
to have bought and maintained bat
tleship of 10000 tons with the en-
tire appropriation, it continues, six
ty-six battleships could have been Sc
cured
Ace cording to the reports received here
it is evident that Spain deeply deplores
her failure &C add a large number of
ships to her navy, instead of applying
at least half of the appropriations made
by the Cortes to the maintenance of the
army.
1t is appreciated by the Madrid Gov
ernment that, in view of the condition
of her treasury and the further fact
that her naval force is now greatly in
ferior it would be useless to continue
the struggle, especially as there is no
nation of Europe willing to support her
in case she should again resort to the
arbitrament of arms.
Because of this the authorities have
no reason to believe there will be any
serious hitch in the negotiations of the
Peace Commission, and, while they ex-
pect the Spaniards will do everything
possible to delay the completion of the
treaty, believing they may bring about
complications advantageous to their
Government, the American representa-
tlves will be in position at any time
10 brlng them to terms by a simple
threat to withdraw.

Carefully prepared reportswere sub

The meeting received with enthusi-

Other resolutions were adopted ask

PARIS IS QUIET.
The People Refuse to be Led by the Anti
Semitic Papers-HesItate to Ac-
cept Portfolios.

Paris, Oct. 3O.-Nowhcre is there
any sign of agitation to-day. The city
is quiet. The anti-Semite papers vain
Iy endeavor, by abusing the judges OF
the court of cessation, to lash the pub
lie into a hostile demonstration but
the people seem rather inclined to re-
sent the culpability or imbecility of
the officers of the general staff who al
lowed themselves to become the prey
of INSCRIPTIONS torgers. This refers
especially to the officers deputed to
investigate the Dreyfus affair. 1t is
believed even now that important
facts. are being concealed in order to
shield the headquarters staff.
Most of the Paris papers approve
the decision of the court of cessation,
although the Gaulois and the Eclair
no means certain.
The Liberte bows to the decision,
but does not think it will end the agi-
tation.
The Figaro announces that Comte
Esterhazy has been deprived of his
membership in the Legion of Honor.
The Dreyfus decision seems to have
delayed a solution of the cabinet
crisis.
NJ. De Freycinet is again hesitating
to accept the portfolio of minister of
war on the ground that, in view of the
role the Protestants have played in
the Dreyfus case, it would be mad
visable for two Protestants, himself
and NJ. Ribot, to hold the portfolios of
war and justice.
