THE CUBAN DEBT AGAIN.
STILL BARS PEACE PROGRESS AT
PARIS.
ANOTHER JOINT SESSION OF THE COMMISSIONS
THE QUESTION LIKELY TO BE DIS
POSED OF FINALLY NEXT WEEK


POSED OF FINALLY NEXT WEEK.
Faris. Oct o1--The United States and Spanish
Peace Commissions held separate sessions this
morning, and when the Joint session opened
this afternoon 1t was believed the Cuban ques
tion would not be decided to-day. but would be
taken UP again at the joint session OF Monday
next.
The joint session to-day lasted from p. m
to 4:30 p. During this time the Commis-
soners discussed the second series OF written
arguments put forward by the Spaniards for
the purpose of prevailing upon the American
Commissioners to assume the Cuban debt No
definite conclusion was reached and the Com
missioners adjourned until Monday, when the
Cuban question will again be discussed 1t is
probable that this feature OF the negotiations
will be disposed OF next week
Thus far there have been seven joint sessions,
four of which have been devoted to the discus
sion Of the first article Of the protocol. In this
manner two weeks have nassed, and no result
has been reached. The American Commission
ers have patiently listened to all the arguments
of the Spaniards. hut they have not changed the
position which they first assumed in refusing
to take over the Cuban debt.
An effort is being made here to create the
impression that there is some understanding
between the United States and Spain regarding
the Philippine Islands. outside of the statements
contained in the third article Of the protocol.
That article embodies the only agreement be
tween the United States and Spain In regard 10
the Philippine Islands and IT clearly sets forth
that the United States will occupy and hold the
CITY, bay and harbor Of Manila pending the con-
cluson Of treaty of peace which shall deter
mine the control. disposition and government or
the Philippine Islands. Beyond this protocol
agreement It can BE- asserted with conhdence'
there is no other understanding on the subject
between the United States and Spain The
purpose OF the United States and the agreement
arrived al by Spain was that the control ana
government OF the Philippine Islands should be
decided by the Commissions now sitting mere,
and Spain understood that the protocol did not
determine anything to Spain's ultimate SOW
ereignty in the Philippine Islands. But II was
understood by both Powers that the protocoi
was a compact by which II was agreed that the
Peace Commissions should determine the future
disposition Of the Philippine Islands. This VIII
be done so far as the United States Commission
is concerned. when he Cuban question Is settled
and after the points relating to Porto Rico and
the Ladrones have been passed upon

SPAIN GETS MORE TIME.
COMPLETE EVACUATION OF CUBA WILL
BE DELAYED.
TASK IMPOSED ON SPANISH OFFICIALS
GREATER THAN THEY CAN PERFORM.

GREATER THAN THEY CAN PERFORM
Washington. Oct. 21-It is now certain that
the complete evacuation Of Cuba will be de-
layed beyond the period originally fixed by the
Administration This is entirely without refer
ence TO anything which has occurred In Paris
before the Peace Commission. The War De-
partment has satisfied itself that the task I'M
posed upon the Spanish authorities-the re-
moval and transportation to a great distance
by sea of about 12O,OO soldiers. sick and well,
with their accoutrements-is beyond the ability
of the spanards The magnitude of the task
Is shown by the fact that the great transat-
lantic steamship lines from NewYork, all COM
bined. in prosperous seasons could transport
only about 10000 persons in year. or less
than half the number that the Spanish officials.
with their poor facilities. were expected to
transport in about ten weeks.
Delay in the evacuation of Cuba Will cause
delay in the REIMBURSEMENT OF sovereignty by
the Spaniards over the entire island, which
prudent to assume charge OF the municipal
affairs OF Havana while the city contains a
strong garrison Of Spanish troops. and II Is felt
that law and order could be better maintained
in such centres by allowing them to remain
under Spanish jurisdiction until they are evac-
uated by Spanish troops and occupied by United
States troops.
1t is not 10 be understood that the American
Military Commission is abating the pressure II
has brought to bear the Spanish Military
Commissioners to secure the evacuation OF the
island and the REIMBURSEMENT Of Spanish sover-
eighty on the contrary. it has redoubled it's
efforts to secure these objects. but is not dis
posed to insist the performance of impos-
sihle tasks. and its demands will be largely
shaped by its knowledge that the Spaniards
are acting in good faith in their efforts 10 carry

ROOSEVELTS SPEECH.

The parts Of Colonel Roosevelts speech not
quoted above follow:
There are various State issues which are impor-
tant For instance 1t is important that We should
have low taxes. The present year the tax rate is
one-ffth lower than IT was five years ago, when
our opponents were in power. The State has In
creased in wealth and yet the amount that Is col
lected from the State by direct taxation has dimin
,shed by over $4,000 During these five years some
heavy additional burdens have been assumed by
the State notably the care Of the Insane, amount
ing 10 over s. o0O 800 and the war appropriation OF
81 1000 Excluding the additions OF this kind. It
anpears that actually less money has been appro-
nriated and spent by the State now than five years
sgo for the branches OF the government which are
the same then.
The State has been able 10 meet the additional
burdens Incurred in two three different ways.
Thus although opponents have claimed to ne
the special foes Of corporations. while we claim
only do strict justice TO every interest IL Is yet
shown by the figures that. as Is so often the case
honesty OF performance Is a good deal better than
exuberance OF promise: for during the last hve
years Of Republican rule over f0.copO0 was col
lected under the corporation tax, while during the
preceding five years of Democratic rule less than
g. 10000 was collected. advance In our favor OF

SETTING A USEFUL PRECEDENT
REFUSAL OF THE UNITED STATES TO ASSUME
THE CUBAN DEBT RIGHT AND JUST.
London oct. 21.-"The Speaker, in long
article on the Peace Commission. says:
THE reluctance OF America 10 annex CUBA
is mainly due to a desire to escape the burden
Of the Cuban debt. At the same time the doc
trine Of international law by which debt In
Cured by ruler binds hls successors rests
upon slight foundations.
1T is monstrous that a tyrant should be able
t. burden future generations simply because he
IS in possession Of the material Government.
II investors felt that in international law loans
incurred against the will Of the people would
not attach TO the country in the event Of
change of government there would he less Of
that monetary support Of misgovernment which
has disgraced the high finance Of the nineteenth
century
'JTor fifty years Spain has ruled Cuba IN def
Of the will of the Cuban people and In
spite OF the constant protest of the United
States The cost of her military operations
there has been met by loans specially charge
able upon Cuba, in the first place. in order TO
punish the Cubans. and, IN the second place, in
order to arrange for a cheap retreat in the
event OF being driven out by America.
In word. the debt has been charged upon
Cuba largely with the object Of sadding il upon
the United States The bondhOlders were en-
cOuraged to look TO the supposed doctrine Of
international law as part Of the security, while
they knew they lending to Spain against
the will OF both Cubans and Americans. 1t Is
to be hoped that the United States while as
suming sovereignty over Cuba. Will refuse TO
pay any part Of the debt except the money used
in the development of the island. thereby set
ting a most useful precedent, Of which tyrants
and fnanciers will do well TO take note

MUST BE DRY DOCKED.
Damages to the Chester's Propeller
Cannot BE Repaired Here.

The transport Chester may have TO 90
in dry dock at Port Royal before return
ing TO Cuba with troops. or may return to
the island to be dry-docked at Havana for
the repairs rendered necessary by the dam
ages to her propeller.
Col. Bellinger prefers 70 take the lat
ter course with the transport, believing II
entirely expedient to go back to Cuba be
fore attending TO the propeller, but is
awaiting instruction. from the quarter
master general at Washington. In the
meantime he is coalng che transport ana
proceeding with her cleaning and other
arrangements for the removal of the Third
Nebraska Regiment. If the transport is
allowed to make the voyage in her present
condition she will get off on Friday, in
all proba bility
The propeller broke when the Chester
was about twenty-five miles out of Ha-
vana on her way back to this port. 1t
was thought that one of the fanges hal
been snapped off, and that it would De pos
slble to withdraw the bolts and drop an
other one in its pace. Yesterday an inves-
t.gation was made by a diver in the en-
ploy of John ROurke & Son, and it was
found that the bolts had broken off and
would have to be bored out ana new
ones substituted. This could not be done
under water and il will be necessary to
put the steamship IN dry dock at some
point.
The damage to the propeller is evident,
il is stated, when the vessel is under
steam, beng shown by a shaking Of the
boat and a jerking of the engine some
what as a fiat wheel can he noticed on
a railroad coach. The speed of the yes
sci is also interfered with and reduced by
perhaps % per cent. It would be perfectly
safe, however, TO make the return trip
TO cuba and have the repairs attended to
there, aud this course may be decided
upon as the government is DESTROYS to
get as many troops in the vicinity of Ha~
Yana as possible by Jan. /. owing to the
rear OF trouble after the Spanish control
ENDS, and the duty of preserving the peace
Ialis upon the American authorities.
Whlie IN port the Chester will be painted
up and the traces of past voyages other
wise removed. 1t is the desire of the de-
partment to keep the transports as fresh
looking as possible, and they are being
cleaned up as soon as they get back 90
port. If adVices from Washington are
favorable, the taking on of supplies will
begin to-day
If the Chester is ordered dry-docked at

ton has left the immediate future. so far
as movements of troops from Savannah

ILL FEELING In HAVANA.
Spaninrds and Cubnns Refuse to
Fraternize With Each other.


Fraternize With Each other.
Capt. Williams, quartermaster of the
transport Chester, agrees with Gen.
Greene in the latters statement that there
is probability of clashes between the
Cubans and spaniards in Cuba as soon as
the authority of Spain is finally ended ard
the control and responsibility for peace
thrown upon this country.
1t is evident to any one visiting Ha-
vana," he said yesterday, that there is a
strong feeling of antagonism between the
two classes. You will see the Spaniards
fraternizing with the Americans, and you
will find expressions and acts of good Will
toward our people from the Cubans, but
you will find little evidence Of anything
but bad blood between Cubans and Span
iards. Ii viii require both diplomacy and
a strong hand to keep down trouble after
Jan. !. The signs of what is brooding may
be seen in the little difficulties which have
already taken place. They are slight out
ward indications of the hostile sentiments
that exist between these two peoples. In
what l have seen Of them, and to the
extent that 1 have been brought in con-
tact with them, I nave found the Span
inclined to let the dead past bury its lead.
But there is seemingly distrust, dislike, or
worse in the relations between Cuban and
Spaniard."
Capt Williams said that when the Ch2s-
ter was in Havana on her last visit there
were a number of German and Spanish
transports in the harbor to take off troops,
and while there will be quite an army of
Spanish soldiers left in Havana and vi
cinity after the Americans take control,
they will not remain long. The evident
determination of the Americans in charge
TO protect them at all hazards and at any
cost will doubtless deter any outbreak
against them on the part of Cubans who
may have wrongs they would like reveng-
ed. Capt. Williams naturally has fun con-
fdence in the power of the Americans TO
insure order and protect all interests
The impression prevails in Havana,
Capt Williams says that that city is des-
tined to become a great winter resort for
Americans as soon as it is cleaned up and
put in better sanitary condition Every
body is expecting the Americans to in
augurate a crusade against filth as soon
as the city is placed in their hands, and
there is much curiosity among the natives
10 see what is going to be done in this line.
Visitors look for the city to have the only
thorough cleaning up it has ever known
in its history of centuries. The stern
measures adopted at other points to compel
the observance of sanitary laws has al
ready given an mixing as to what Ha-
vana may look forward to before many
days
