commissioners to saddle the United
States with the Cuban debt and would

placed Spain in position of repudiat-
ing or reducing the face value of the
Cuban bonds from so to so percent,
paying only half the stipulated inter-
est on the reduced value. Before they
would adopt either alternative they
would surrender to the United States
the entire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would proba-
bly be demanded irrespective of the
cuban or any other debt
