the CUBAN DEBT
Which Spain Is Trying To Have
America Assume.

As matter Of fact, with Cuba in her
possession, Spain would be in no better
position to deal with the debt, for under
her rule, even before the outbreak OF the
last revolution, Their was constant
deficit in the revenues of the island. II
she had been permitted to retain her
nominal sovereignty the result would
have been merely continued sacrifice
and additional burdens imposed upon
the people Of the Peninsula. In other
words, Spain without Cuba is better able
to bear with this debt than she would be
with it. The Economista, of Madrid, in
a recent number states the Cuban debt
on August 10 as follows the figures being
given in pesetas, which may be roughly
converted at five pesetas 10 one DOLLAR
