Spain win Be Reimbursed to the
Amount Of Her Pacific
Expenditures"
SPOT Cash WILL BE PAID
BY This the United States Will Not Be-
come Identified With Spain's Re-
sponsiblIity to Creditors.

PARIS. Oct 3l-At a meeting Of the
peace commission today the Americans
presented a written expression OF the
purpose OF the United States 10 take the
entire group OF the Philippine Islands and
TO assume such proportion Of the Philip
pine debt as has been spent for the bene-
1T Of the Islands in public works, inn
provements and permanent betterments.
The reading disclosed the fact that the
United States government had deter
mined to possess for itself certain terri
tory and parts OF land bounded and lying
within such parallels Of latitude and
longtitude as mark the limits OF the Phil
lppne archipelago The United States
does not propose assuming the Philippine
debt OF 80 O00.o00. but IL Is willing 10 be
responsible to Spain for a sum Of money
equal TO the actual expenditure by Spain
n the Philippines for the advantage OF
the islands and for the good OF their
-aople for permanent betterments and for
improvements, both pnvsical and materi-
al.
1le reading OF the presentment speci-
fies that the United States viii reim-
burse Spain TO the extent OF her pacific
expenditures" made IN the archipelago.
This phrase pacific expenditures is en-
ployed to the diiferential expenditures by
spain in combating the insurrectionists
in the philippines.
One Is felt by the commissioners 20 be
fair burden on acquiring power, while
the other and latter class OF expenditures
IS held to have been logically assumed
By Spain in the Inevitable hazard to
the nation resorting to arms to enforce
orders in its own territory. Such Is the
vital portion Of the presentment made
by the American commissioners today
and II is TO be observed that, while the
main proposition as to the possession and
financial responsibility is clear and def
mate. many details have been left to the
DEVELOPMENTS OF the discussions between
the two commissions.
Thus, while the Spanlards are tonight
quite certain that the United States in
tends TO reimburse them for ''pacific ca
penditures," they remark that they are
not enlightened as TO whether the Ameri-
cans expect TO indorse the Spanish ooli-
cations to the extent OF pacific expendi-
lures" in the archipelago, or whether they
will hand Spain a lump sum OF gold, large
enough to cover Spain's outlay so desig'
mated 1t is unlikely. however. that the
Americans will care to become identified
in the slightest degree with Spain in her
responsibilities 10 her creditors. The
] claayAr method seems TO be TO hand "a
| Spain the spot cash.

When I joined the rough riders in the

"Where did you get the clothes9"

With this encouragement from q
high quarter | was duly started on my
military career, and ii was not my

ward Yet l learned that the thing
could be oyerdone. That same night,
there was q terrific row because some
Napoleonic genius had succeeded in
filching the only package OF sugar in
the outfit, just after the captains or
derry had formally donated it to the
troop. Every mans hand was lifted
against the other, and the quarrels
and recriminations became so fierce
that several Of the former cattlemen
fondled their six-shooters dangling at
their hips.
Next day 1 was ordered TO report at
division headquarters, across the hill.
While / was standing at attention l
heard the following dialogue between
Gen. Wheeler and his sdjutant:

"Where is it nowP"
TT is still over there. They claim IL

They say they found it grazing in their
trenches four days ago"
The old general arose in his wrath,
exclaiming: rs there anything those
devils won't steal? Report the facts to
Col. Roosevelt with my compliments,
and tell him that l must insist on hav-
ing my horse returned to me-"
The a%djutant departed and Gen.
Wheeler turned TO me. As he recog-
nized the cross sabers and number one
on my army hat his face clouded and
he said:
$50 you are one Of the rough riders.
Well, you may be good fghters-in fact,
you have shown yourselves TO be good
