Spanish-cuban Finances.

The seperate public debt Of Spain
now amounts to about 81, 800, 900, 600.
This would appear not to include the
debt which the Spaniards have fas-
tened upon Cuba, and which must now
amount to at least S4O0, 900, 900, and
the interest upon which is paid out
of the revenues collected in Cuba.
The vast debt settled upon the i'm
poverished island represents nothing
whatever except the expenses incurred
bv the Spaniards themselves in fight
ing the Cubans. A great part OF It un-
doubtedly represents money stolen by
Spain's corrupt civil and military es-
adjustments. Now, if Cuba should
succeed in winning her independence,
it was obvious that she would give her
self no concern whatever with any
part of Spain's Indebtedness, none of
which had ever been incurred by au-
thority of the Cuban people, and none
of which had ever been expended for
their beneft-while on the contrary a
great part Of it had been expended IN
diabolical warfare against them.
Not only was there involved in the

That song-the echo Is strange and sweet; the

ALBANY, Feb. 1.-THE State Land Board to-
day. at the suggestion Of Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff,
decided. IL 1t Is found to have authority, to
amend all grants of land under water along tho
Coney Island beach. so as to allow the free use
of the beach by the public. These are the grants
which caused an interchange Of spicy express
sions between members of the Land Board at
the last meeting. The question arose on the
Wiedman application for q grant Of land under
water at tho Coney Island beach. Licut.-Gov.
Woodruff said that his objection to an unre-
stricted grant was that the land included in the
grants were situated along the beach of Coney
Island between the iron pier and Norton's
Point. and without restriction the owners might
fence in their possessions and thus break the
continuity Of the beach as q place of public
