serious disorder during the early morning hours,

TIE CUBAN BONDS

WHAT WERE THE CIRcrMsTANcEs OF THEIR
ISSUE AND THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR PAY
MENT. AND WHAT Is THE JUNTAr
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir Tho now famous statement recently made
I'm the name Of the Cuban Junta by Mr. Rubens
constitutes the most important addition lately
made 10 tn somewhat slender data OF tho Cuban
problem. In the first place. II establishes the IN
that the army In the field. led by General Gomez is
practically the army 81 the Cuban Junta. whose
seat Of Government IS New York. and not Cuba
also that the fixed. unalterable object OF the
Junta, 10 which every other consideration must
give way is the recognition OF the independence Of
Cuba by the United States and by Spain. II even
only temporarily. This latter qualification Is n
most important one. and clearly set forth by
Mr.. Rubcns In his first statement
1t Is we'll known that certain number Of bonds
the amount Of which Is I'm doubt has been issued
by the Cuban Government and II appears that
certain number Of the old issue. OF 1868 therc
abouts. is also afoat. Now In view of the intense
anxiety Of the Junta to secure even a temporary
recognition OF Cuban independence. 1t would be In
teres.ing TO know upon what conditions all these
bonds were issued Are they payable upon recog-
milton OF independence by the United States or by
Spain. or by both' In they are. and II such
recognition were brought about by the Intervention
