As the Official statement Of the
terms of pc zee soffercd TO Spin.
issued this week from the White
House, has no mention whatever Of
the 100000 900 III Spanish bonds
which are charged against Cubr, it
seems that the newspaper state
men.s saying that as part of the
terms OF peace Spain was notified
that neither Cuba nor the u. s.
should be responsible for any por
ton OF these bonds, was erroneous.
This is To be regretted, because il
will leave this bond question where
the bolders Of the bonds will seek
Nh opportunity TO force IT upon the
consideration Of the peace commits
sion, something that should not be
allowed. These bond holders have
been entirely too great factor in
determining the attitude or this
government towards The Cubin
question. Spin received the
money paid for these bonds. and
TO Spain alone should their holders
look for their redemption.

Interest in the war served the
Republicans numerous good turns
this year, not the least of which
was preventing the attention of the
public being conferred upon the big
deficit the govern nent closed the
hscal year with. Although the
governme received from the sale
OF the Pacific Railroads. $G4, 75l.
223, the expenditures for the wear
were S3S, 047,242 in excess of re
ceipts, and leaving the railroad
money out Of the calculation the
deficit was s98.249, lO3. A very
clever statement prepared by AS
sistant Secretary Howell, of the
Treasury Department, has b, en-
made public, in which an attem pt
ls made to show that war expendI-
lures were largely responsible for
the big deficit. But even accepting
Mr.. HowelPs estimate that $50, =
O00,0 of the expenditures were
made for war purposes, would
leave deficit of $42, 240 ,103 for
the year.
