SPAIN WILL

ments Debt VIII Be Paid,
but No More.

TO This Country.
WELL WORTH RETAINING

NEW YORK. Nov ia dispatch to
tho Herald from Washington says:
Instead OF paying Spain 100000 as an
indemnity for the cesslon Of the Philip
pines TO the United States. President Nc
Kinlcy intends to rcimburse her only for
the debt OF about 81 10000 contracted for
public improvements.
President Mckinley and his cabinet
have carefully noted that sentiment ex-
pressed throughout the country By the
elections has been In opposition TO the
suggestion TO indemnify spain to the
extent FIRST proposed. As WAS put out BY
the administration authorities Il was
intended to give the capital OF the en-
tire debt noated. with the philippines
az security. and amounting TO tiOOoO.OOo.
What will be paid by the United States.
according 20 the present intention Of the
president. Is the debt contracted by
Spain for the establishment Of light
houses. harbor improvements and pub
nc buildings. All told. this does not
amount to a very large sum. being fixed
Of about 100000. Friends OF Spain In
tho diplomatic corps say that II is an
outrage for the president 10 ofer such
small sum.
Perhaps u would be the best thing
for Spain II she would rid herself OF the
Phlllnnlnea." said one Of these gentle
men. but surely II Is not right that the
United States should satisfy only a small
portion OF the debt. leaving her with the
remainder on her hands. and with low
treasury to meet Il"
Il Is not believed In official circles here
that Spain will withdraw her commits
sloners from Paris. She has no desire
to lose the Canary islands and she is
apprehenslve that In case OF resump-
,!on OF hosiiHties. the American govern
ment would seize and perhaps hold them.
A high administration official says that
In case OF the withdrawal Of the Spanish
commissioners. the United States would
complete the military occupation OF the
| Philippines and would take such other
steps as Il might deem advisable for the
protection OF this cOuntry's rights in the
far east.
From Mr.. Day the officials have learned
| that the American commissioners yes
terday presented the reply to the Span
tsh refusal to surrender the Islands, and
It Is expected that now the administra'
ton has been so satisfactorily endorsed
by the country. the spaniards will appre
clate the hopelessness Of their position
and accede TO the demands Of this gov
crnment.
