This nation has presented to an OPP
pressed people the unspeakable gift of
freedom, yes, and TO the world 1t has
given a longer liberty. Gods Christmas
gift of freedom has come to the suffering
and wronged through the agency of a
nation that was obedient to the heavenly
call. and had caught the spirit of liberty
and helpfulness sent forth from angelic
lips-'good will toward men 1t was not
hatred or i'll will toward any nation that
caused this country TO unsheath the sword
of war. 1t was good will toward the suf-
fering and the oppressed that inspired us
20 battle and victory.
Good will has been established in our
land from North to South, and from
East to West. The angels of our better ma
ture have been recoiling enemies, obliter-
ating the wounds and scars of war and
strife, and making the stars of the old
flag of freedom shine with new lustre
while every strife has been cleansed from
every stain North and South together
sing at this Christmas time as they have
not sung since we were nation, a blessed
song of peace and good will"

SPAIN MUST
KEEP HER DEBTS
No Bonds Other Than Local and Mu-
nicipal Will be Assumed by the
United States-Balance of Twen-
ty-fve or Thirty Millions Likely
to Be Due Spain on Final Account

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The cabinet to-
day devoted most of its attention to con-
sideration of questions connected with
the administration of affairs in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The administrative
feature of the Philippine question also
received some attention. Nothing has
been heard from the commission at Paris
as to yesterdays proceedings, and it is
realized that nothing is to be expected
in the way of developments until Fri
days session.
While the cabinet gave little attention
today to the peace negotiations at Paris,
there is no longer any doubt as to the
general purpose of the government to
retain the entire Philippine archipelago.
If after final balancing of account, viz,
the cost of war to the United States on
one side and our acquisitions on the
other, it is found any compensation is
due the Spaniards, it will be made in a
lump sum.
What the United States will insist
upon is that it must be fully REIN bursed
for every dollar expended on account of
the war, and in the statement will be
included an amount sufficient to cover
all payments, present and prospective,
on account of pensions incidental to the
war. No Spanish bonds other than local
or municipal will be paid or assumed by
this government.
What sum this government would
consent to pay Spain cannot be even
estimated, but when a final account is
rendered it is believed the balance due
Spain will be small, probably not ex-
ceeding $25 ,00O, 900 or $50, ,O0O,OO0
The belief still prevails among ma
jority of the members of the cabinet that
the Spaniards will accept the terms laid
down by the United States, and what
ever delay occurs before the result is
reached will be chargeable only to the
purpose of the Spaniards to secure the
best possible terms.
So far as the cabinet discussion dealt
with Porto Rico and Cuba, it was the
purpose to form measures for the best
means of collecting revenues and cus-
toms and for satisfactory government
of the cities and towns until congress
shall have ordered otherwise. 1t is the
intention of the president to maintain a
military government in both Cuba and
Porto Rico for the time being.
