FIRST FORMAL DEMAND
Of Spain is That the United States
Assume the Cuban Debt.

Paris, Oct. 12.-After a fourth joint
session, lasting from 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon to a quarter past four, the
American and Spanish peace commits
sions adjourned without having reach
ed formal conclusion as to any point
in the protocol
Thus far there has been no Joint
formulation or capitalization of views
to be returned by each commission to
its government for embodiment in the
final treaty.
The question of the Philippines has
not yet been considered in joint session,
though the Americans at their separate
sessions have acquired exhaustive in
formation from persons who have lived
in the Philippine islands and done bust
ness there. They are now. therefore,
we'll equipped to discuss the subject
when it comes up.
The Spanish commissioners have pre-
scented written views, expressions and
propositions to which there have been
written rejOinders. These, in the orig
inal and in translatiOns, have been read
at the Joint sessions while during the
recesses they have been respectively
digested and responses formulated to
them, rendered into both English and
Spanish, for the next joint session.
The Spanish. it is believed, have ask
ed to have the Cuban debt assumed by
the United States, urging that the debt
should pass with the sovereignty. The
debt so presented for American as
sumption covers the expense of the ten
years insurrection, the recent insurrec-
ton and the war with the United
States, as far as Spain's outlay in the
war can be classified against Cuba.
The Americans probably have replied
that if indeed any part of the so-called
Cuban debt is allowable, the part in
Cured in suppressing instructions or
in the war with the United States, is
not allowable.
The Spanish will doubtless urge equi-
ties in stocks, water front betterments,
public buildings and perhaps war ma
teriaI. It is possible that this conten-
ton will receive consideration on the
basis of equities between mOrtgager
and mortgage.
Thus far no disposition has been de-
veloped on either side to delay the ulti-
mate conclusions. and the end of the
work in hand The American commits
sioners are anxious to conclude as soon
as possible and on recess days they are
devoting from three to five hours to
discussions and details
The adjournment yesterday was to
Friday.

WE ARE THE SALT.
Count Bozenta Says We are and He is
Much Travelled.

Topeka people will undoubtedly be
gratified to know that for refinement
and culture Charles ChIapowski Count
Bozenta, declares this city is far ahead
of all other towns.
For fear everyone is not acquainted
with the counts exact standing in the
community, and in order to make his
decision unimpeachable, it may be well
to remark that Mr. Chlapowski is the
husband of Nine MOdjeska and a
transplanted Polish gentleman If it
were not for the fact that it might
mean the defeat of the Republican
ticket in this locality, and this is by
no means a political article, it would
also be in order to state that he is a
Democrat.
Count Bozenta is a constant smoker
of Turkish cigarettes and does half his
talking with gestures, but he is never
theless a very well read and observant
gentleman For a number of years he
was an editor in his own country and
in the Polish insurrection of 1853, when
Poland attempted the hopeless task of
throwing off the Russian yoke, he was
one of the leading patriots. For his
patriotism he was repeatedly wounded
and at last captured and thrown into
prison. where he remained two years.
The scars of his wounds received in the
insurrectiOn are still visible on his body,
and then there are other scars of diff
marks are the result of fun While a
young man in Poland. This is the
counts way of passing off signs which
show that he was a duelist as we'll as an
editor and patriot.
Count BOzenta says he loves to study
human nature and has found the the
alter foyer an excellent place for the
study. 1t is in this way that he has ar
rived at the decision that Topeka is
much unlike her sister cities as far as
refinement and culture are concerned. He
has repeatedly visited Topeka and the
other large towns of the state with
Nine. Modjeska, and he says the study
of faces filing in the theater entrance
has impressed him with the fact that
there is something about Topeka and
it's people that is not found in any of
the other Kansas towns.
Il have seen many nice people in
other places, you know" said he, but
there is that wild and woOlly business
about them that I don't like and that
don't see in Topeka"
That Count Bozenta is a man of
thoroughly good judgment there is not
the slightest doubt. Possibly the COM
parison would not have been drawn
so strongly in favor of Topeka were it
not for the fact that on the previous
evening Nine. MOdjeska and her hus-
band visited AtchisOn.
tit is sincerely to be hoped that Ed
Howe will not see this article or there
will be no end of trOuble.1

RISE IN BONDS
Of the Philippines is Explained
by the Fact
That the United States Offers
Through Commissioner
TO ASSUME THE DEBT
In Consideration of Taking Over
the Whole Lot.
But Spain Must Guarantee the
Cuban Debt.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE sitting yesterday
of the joint peace commissions of the
United States and Spain were devoted
according to the Gaulois to an exami-
nation of the solution which it is posi-
bic to give to two questions in the pro-
toco1. The Philippine question, the
GaulOis adds, was discussed incidental
ly the United States commissioners
seeking to impose a system of compen-
sation for claims connected with the
entire group, by assuming the debt pro-
vided Spain guarantees the Cuban debt.
The Spaniards, it further appears
wish the United States to assume the
Cuban debt and to hand over to Spain
all the war material in Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The discussion, according to the eau
lois. was very animated. Judge Day,
the president of the American commits
sion and Senior MonterO Rios, the presi-
dent of the Spanish commission having
received precise instructions from their
respective governments, the Americans
consider that they cannot discuss the
principles forming the base of the pro-
tocol, to which the Spaniards reply that
the protocol was signed at a critical
moment and under so pressing a neces-
Sity that it cannot be considered as eX-
pressing the sovereign will of free ma
ton

WITH A LITTLE f.
That is the Way Lafayette Wrote His
Name.


Washington. Oct. 12-Apropos of the
Lafayette monument movement and
discussion, the interior department is
receiving numerous communications
asking information about lands,
moneys, etc, given LAFAYETTE teSti-
monial of his service in the revolution.
Commissioner Hermann of the general
land office discussing the queries COM
ing in from newspaper men, historians
and others, as to the location of the
lands voted Lafayette made the follow
ing statement today, reviewing all the
government land transactions with
Lafayette:
Congress on March g. 1903. author
lied the secretary of war to issue land
warrants to Major General Lafayette
Tor eleven thousand five hundred and
twenty acres Zone half of a township
or Iand) and on March p, 1904, General
Lafayette was authorized and en-
powered to locate the warrants in the
territory of Orleans now the state or
Louisiana The locations were subse-
Quently made on the west bank of the
Mississippi river, in the parish of
POinte Coupee. Patents thereon were
issued January and April, 1910, and
March, 1913
In 1924, congress, by a unanimous
vote, requested President Monroe to in
vite Lafayette to visit this country. The
invitation was accepted and while here
congress granted him 100000 in cash
and a township of land, to be located
under the authority of the president on
any of the unappropriated lands of the
United States. This township of land
was located in Leon county, in what
was then known as West Florida, being
township one, north of range one, east,
containing 23,02S.50 acres and patented

This patent was delivered to General
Lafayette in person by the then COM
missioner of the land office. Mr.. George
Graham. The city of Tallahassee is To-
Gated on a part of this town Site
Commissioner Hermann also called at
tention to the fact not generally known
that there is on file in the general land
office an original deed executed jointly

October ., 1923. transferring q portion
of the land embraced in the first grant.
The signature of the general to this
patent is simply Lafayette" written
as one word and with a small "f'' which
would seem to settle the discussion on
the question as to whether the name
should be written as two words and
with capital FL or not.
