SHOW THEIR HANDS.
Holders of Spanish Bonds at Last
Make Formal Demands.

Washington, Nov. $50 far as the
state department knows there has been
no break in the peace negotiations, and
if any difficulty had arisen officials say
it would certainly have been promptly
reported to the department. 1t is as
sumed, therefore, that there must be
purely some internal reason for the
pOnement-perhaps the convenience
of the commissioners. The adVices that
have come to hand so far are said to
be rather encouraging than the reverse,
and there is disposition here to agree
to the statement rather curiOuSly made
by the Spanish cabinet that there will
be three or four more meetings Of the
joint commission This is taken as an
indication that the Spaniards them
selves are not looking for a break in
the negotiations, but they rather expect
a peaceful conclusion in a short time.
The foreign bondholders have at last
moved formally to protect their inter-
ests in Cuba and Porto Rico. The liz
itiaI steps have been taken through the
agency of the French embassy, which
sentative of the Spanish government,
but for French subjects. Through the
embassy a most formidable statement
has been presented to the state depart
ment, being an account Of the various
Spanish bonds owned by French citi-
zens chargeable against the territories
either seized or set free by the act of
the United States government.
The sum total of these bonds runs far
up into the millions. Just what shall
be done with them is not made clear.
The United States government, of course
will not pay them, but it may be that
the French government looks to it to
cause the independent government of
Cuba to assume liability for the re-
demption of the bonds charged against
the island when the government shall
have been duly installed by the act of
the United States government. 1t is
probable that other holders of like
bonds German and British, will take
similar steps to have their claims
brought through their diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the attention of the Uni
ted States government and it may even
be that the holders of such bonds in
Spain, though Spanish citizens, Will
take a like course, which would present
a novel claim upon the generosity Of
the United States government.
