WAR CLAIMS.
ConEress to He Asked to Provide
Means for Settling Those OF
American Citizens in Cuba.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Immediately
upon the ratification of the peace treaty
by the senate the president will recon-
mend to congress the enactment Of
legislation looking to the settlement
of the claims of American citizens for
damages sustained in Cuba, Porto Rico
and other Spanish possessions which
formed the seat of war. These claims
to the amount of $26,0Oo,O00 on this
score have already been lodged with
the state department. 1t is true that
an unknown proportion of these are
claims based on depredations commit
ted by Cuban insurgents for which it is
questionable whether the Spanish gov
eminent could be held responsible.
On the other hand, 1t is believed that
there are many claims for large
amounts that have not yet been pre-
sented owing TO the inability of the
claimants TO secure the necessary cor
roborative evidence during the Spanish
occupation of the evacuated territories
or because of the belief that it would
be frui1ltss TO present any claim so long
RS Spanish sovereignty was maintained.
Now, however, by an article in the
treaty of Paris, the United States has
assumed liability for all claims pre-
frrred by its citizens on account of
depredations, or in fact on any score.
In turn, the Spanish assumed liability
for any claim that might have been
made on account Of Spanish citizens or
the Spanish government itself against
the United States. What such claims
would have amounted to cannot be es-
tilnated None were filed with the
United States government prior to the
declaration of war. But 1t is recalled
that there is much criticism on the
part of high Spanish officials of the al
legged failure of the United States gov
eminent to observe the requirements
OF the neutrality laws, and more than
one statement to the effect that the
Spanish government intended to pre-
sent claim for II round number of mil
lions on that score. So far as is known,
the treaty does not specifically provide
for the appointment of IL commission to
adjust these claims of United States cit
liens. but as TINT is the usual method
of adjudication, ii is presumed that u
commission will be created by author
ity of an act of congress. The latter
cannot withhold its sanction 10 some
such arrangements after the ratiiica-
ton of the tr"nty, because the convene
ton itself binds the government to the
