WON'T ASSUME THE DEBT
American Commissioners Make
q Formal Answer.
WILL TAKE NO PART OF 1T
The Disposition OF Cuba Definitely Fixed
by the Protocol-Not . Single Peseta
OF the Cuban Debt VIII Be
Assumed.

Paris. Oct. f5.-The American and
Spanish peace commission closed their
first two weeks OF labor here to-day
and the progress made has been chiefly
by negative action and the attitude OF
the Americans. The first article Of the
protocol provided that Spain viii re-
linquish all claims to sovereignty over
and title to Cuba The Americans
opened their Ease by the assumption
that little or no action was necessary
regarding Cuba on the ground that its
disposition was definitely Fixed by the
terms OF the protocol. N~otwi.hstand-
ing. at the meeting last Thursday the
Spaniards submitted suggestions and
propositions amounting to holding hat
the United States hould take over all
or part OF the Cuban debt. On Tues
day. Senior Montrios. president of tn"
spanish commission, verbally repeated
1t at length and reiterated the same in
summarized form.
The Americans at their own session
on Wednesday took up the Spanish pre-
sentation n determined the formu-
ltion of the answer of the United States.
Careful. xac and full was the prepa-
ration OF the answer. and therefore 1t
became impossible. as intended. to serve

oral discussion might begin promptly.
Thus IL happened that the Americans

mitted at the opening of the session.
occupying four. instead of the usual
two, hours. on account of the exhaust
i've discussion of the matter.
Whatever may have transpired at
yesterdays session. whether the Span
iards were or were not yesterday ad-
vised that the United States declined
to assume the Cuban debt. II may be
distinctly said that with such light as
IL now has, the United States commits
sion will consistently and to the end
refuse to assume all or any part of the
Cuban debt. The Spaniards will. IL in
deed IL has not already been done. have
impressed o them the act hat by
the signature of the protocol they ut
terly relinquished all claims Of sover-
eighty over and title to Cuba.
Thus, possible. progress has been
achieved negatively. for, with the pres
ent light. the Americans decline or will
refuse the responsibility of a single
peseta of the so-called Cuban debt.

THE CUBAN DEBT
NAV Prove . snag for the Peace Com
m~issioners.

nv ~
mfssioners.
London. Oct. 15.-The Paris CORE
s%pondent OF the Times says: The peace
negotiations are necessarily slow. being
onducted less by exchange of words
than exchange OF notes and statements
Senior Montero Rios. president OF the
Spanish commission. does not under
stand English. Consequently the few
words must be interpreted. and even
they are not definitive until committed
to paper.
The Cuban debt question has thus al
ready been laid on the table and the
American commissioners have already
given a peremptory refusal to discuss a
principle which had been settled. as hey
considered. by the peace preliminariee.
Faithful to the attitude adopted by
them from the outset. they seemed re-
solved TO take their stand on the In
s~tructions-or rather. as ! have already
said. the precise and concise orders
which : ~ brought with them, but the
Spaniai Is, on their side. do not think
themselves bound to bow with docility
to the imperative Instructions OF an
other government.
They returned to the charge today. IL
j am well informed. urging the generally
admitted principle which imposes on
c~onquerors h burdens belonging to the
territory conquered eithe in their own
behalf or that of their clients. They in
sisted thai IL would be an extraordinary
course TO saddle Spain. already i'm so
lamentable a financial position, with
the Cuban debt while ~surrenderlng TO
the victor the security with which II
should be paid.
They remarked. according 10 my in
formation, that II they had asked the
United States for permission to raise
interest out OF the customs
they would naturally have met with "A
refusal. How. then. can they be asked
to leave TO the victor the pledge allow
ing payment Of interest and yet retain
the burden OF the debt? They observed,
however. that. as Cuba Is the key to
the Gulf of Mexico. the United States
will thus be b to pass the only bar
rier which they had hitherto been un-
able to cross at will. and that is worth
some sacrifice. Hence the Spanish COM
missioners insist. In the name OF recog-
nized international law. that the debt
should not rest solely on Spanish shoul-
ders.
IL Is impossible to foreteli the Amer
lean reply. but IL is not likely tina Mr..
Day n his colleagues will yield. An
is afoat-and said to be warmly
by the friends of peace and
tustice-that the interest should be re-
duced TO 2a per cent. or even 2 per
cent. and Jointly guaranteed by the
Spaniards n the future rulers of
Cuba, each hus bearing only a very
slight burden and the bondholders be-
ing protected from loss on their invest
ment. This last Information does not
emanate either from Spaniards or
Americans. but there Is an intention OF
backing II so as to give Il some chance
Of success.
