Grain and hay should never be grown.
Even home or cultivated crops may

Spain Will Have to Make Good
Our War Expenses.
We WILL RETAIN The PHILIPPINES
Tho Possibility OF "A Disagreement OF the
Commissioner, at Paris aud the Fall
ure of the Conference Contrm-
plated Wnh EqnanImity.

Washington, Nov. 9 The cabinet
yesterday devoted most of its atten-
zion to consideration of questions con-
nected with the administration of af-
fairs in Cuba and Porto Rico. The ad-
ministrative feature of the Philippine
question also received some attention.
Nothing has been heard from the com
mission at PARIS as to Mondays pro-
ceedings, and il is realized that moth
ing is to be expected in the way of de-
velopments until Fridays session.
While the cabinet gave little atten-
ton yesterday to the peace negotia-
tions at Paris, there is no longer any
doubt as to the general PURPOSES of
this government to retain the entire
Philippine archipelago. IT, after
final balancing of the accounts, viz. i:
The cost of war to the United States
on one side and our acquisitions
on the other, it is found that
any compensation is due the
Spaniards, it will be made in Il lump
sum. 1t is pointed out that, at the
time the protocol was signed, the
United States did not have and had
not since acquired any part of the
Philippine islands outside of Manila
city and harbor, and that the United
States has never entertained "a purpose
to acquire any territory by the power
of conquest. What the United States
will insist upon is that she must be
fully reimbursed for every dollar eX-
pended by her on account of the war,
and in the statement will be include d
an amount sufficient to cover all pay
ments, present and prospective, on ac-
count of pensions incidental TO the war.
No Spanish bonds of any character
or amount, other than local or munic-
ipal bonds, will be paid or assumed
by this government. The question of
the status of municipal obligations
under circumstances like the present
Is fully settled by international law.
They must be recognized as valid and
binding by the conquering power, and
hence it is assumed that the United
States will not raise any question on
this point, but promptly consent to
guarantee their final payment. What
sum of money this government would
consent to pay to Spain cannot even
be estimated, but when the final ac-
count is rendered, IL is believed that
the balance due Spain will be small,
probably not exceeding SO, 600, 900 or
$50, 900, 900,
The belief still prevails among the
majority of the cabinet that the Span
iards will accept the terms laid down
by the United States and that what.
ever delay occurs before that result is
reached will be chargeable only to the
purpose of the Spaniards to secure the
best possible terms, to eXtort the last
possible million dollars, before ac-
ceding to our demands, The possibili-
ty of disagreement of the commission
ers and the failure of the conference.

however, is now contemplated with
greater equanimity than at an earlier
state of the negotiations The ad.
ministration has satisfied itself that
Spain is neither able nor willing to re-
sumo hostilities on any scale that
would make her dangerous opponent
to the United States Therefore, sup
posing the Paris conference fails, all
that would be imposed upon our govern
ment is an immediate duty TO take COM
plete military possession of the Philip
pines. This, it is believed, could be
accomplished by us without loss of
time or life. The last vestige of Span
ish military power in the islands is
that under Col. Rios, commander-in-
chief of the Vizcaya islands and, by
deputized authority, in charge of all
Spanish territory not directly within
the control of the United States in
the Philippine islands. His force is
Insignificant, from a military point of
view, and it is doubted if he could hold
his own against the insurgents had
the Tagals been allowed by Admiral
Dewey to make Manila the base Of an
expedition directed against the Span
ish commander
So far AS Cuba is concerned, the di fiji
Guilty might be more serious. but even
in Cuba the Spanish military forces
are not in condition to offer a pro-
loneed resistance TO the American con-
quest of the island. and with the Span
ish navy at the bottom of the sea, they
could not be reinforced by troops from
Spain. IL is the intention of the pres
ident to maintain military govern
ment in both Cuba aud Porto Rico for
the time being, but his purpose is also
10 mitigate the harsher features of
such form OF government, 80 far as lies
within his power. For instance. there
was taken into serious consideration "A
view put forth by Secretary Alger,
that it would be we'll in Cuba TO use
the Cuban soldiers, who seemed to be
fitted for such work, as local police
force or gendarmerie, possessed, In a
measure of both the power of the police
and soldier. There are several strong
arguments which the war department
has put forth as sufficient TO Justify
the adoption of this course. In the
first place, honorable and profitable
employment would be given to con-
siderable proportion of the Cuban sol
diers who might otherwise, in the alb
sence of industrial employment, drift
into evil courses or become a dissatis-
fed and dangerous element in the
community. In the second place,
these men, being thoroughly ac-
quainted locally with places, habits OF
the Spanish-Americans and the Lam
guage, would be much more service
able as police than American soldiers.

ADDRESS TO CUBANS.
Senior Maso Indicates the Wisest
Policy to Be Followed.
DECLARATION OF The UNITED STATES
Spain Was to BE Made to Reiinqulsh Her
Sovereignty Over the Island and the
CubAns TO Be Placed In
Possession.

Santiago, Nov. /. 1.--Senor Bartolome
Maso, president of the Cuban provi-
sional administrative council, has is
sued an address to the delegates now
in attendance at the military assembly
at Santa Cruz del Sur, in which he re-
views the considerations upon which
the Cubans solicited the help of the
United STATES and indicates their
wisest future policy. The address in
part is as follows:
The Cubans accepted the assistance OF Amer
icn, although not knowing exactly what were
the American aims. Just as they would have
accepted help from any country in their fight
against Spain As the contest progressed the
Cubans In the field were Rratihed to hear OF q
solemn declaration by the United States con-
gress regarding the intentions OF the American
government and the path II would follow In the
Spanish American war
The Americans camo to our help to compel
Spain TO relinquish her sovereignty over Cuba,
In order that the Cubans themselves might be
placed as promptly as possible In possession
OF the Island might assume the administration
OF Its Affairs and have government OF their
own Therefore, the Cuoans agreed TO CO.
operate with the Americans. to obey the or
ders issued by American generals, and
10 hslp in all possible ways TO establish
q Cuban government when the Americans
took possession. Though America did not
recognize the government OF the Cubans, It was
we'll understood that the Cubans would not, on
that account. abandon their organization. but
that, on the contrary, the time would come
when such recognition would be granted In
deed It was asserted to our Cuban representa-
tives by one OF the most distinguished mem
bers OF the United States government and
also by the members OF the United States SEN
ate, that, In order to do away with any obsta-
Gle that might hinder the United States in go
ing into the fight for the cause OF Cuban inde-
pendence recognition OF a Cuban government
must come later
Nevertheless, II has not been possible to es-
tablish direct relations between the Cuban and
American governments for the transaction of
the public business, although the general char
acter OF our relations throughout the war was
friendly But we have now reached time
when. even more than in the days OF fighting
It Is incumbent upon all Cubaus TO show true
patriotism and. while making every expression
Of gratitude to America for having given Cuba
freedom and independence, TO make prompt
arrangements for paying of the Cubans now in
arms and for getting the country into working
