Wrecking Company has informed the Navy De-
nartment that the wreckers have succeeded In
eoatlng the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa. and
are about TO start her under her own steam to
Nor,olk The Navy has nothing to do with this

liver any Of the vessels Of Cervera's fleet that

1t is expected that the battle-scarred Spanish
shin will attract thousands Of curious visitors
when she reaches Hampton Roads. 1t is fully
expected at the Navy Department that the
Maria Teresa will require extensive repairs
having suffered not only from shot. shell and
fire but also from a months submersion in the
ouickly foulng waters Of South Cuba. How
ever. the repairs win certainly be made FOR the
continental reason alone is strong enough to
warrant the expenditure Of sufficient money 10

SPAIN FIRM on ONE POINT.
WILL FIGHT THE AMERICAN PROPOSAL
REGARDING THE CUBAN DEBT.

WILL FIGHT THE AMERICAN PROPOSAL
REGARDING THE CUBAN DEBT.
London Aug. THE Madrid correspondent Of
"The Sunday Times says:
SPANS answer will accept all the American
terms except that regarding the Cuban debt.
The Government will fight this point on the
ground that in all other cessions OF territory
by one nation to another the ceded territory
has carried with 1t its own debt, or the propor-
ton belonging to the nation whence It was
ceded
president Mckinley will receive the answer
on Monday or, at the latest on Tuesday.
"Senor Sagasta in comforting with politicians
and generals, follows the example Of Senior Cas-
telar in 1873. His objects are twofod-to divide
the responsibility for the decision and to avoid
the convocation of the Cortes.
THE news from Porto Rico is received with
great disappointment. The Spaniards are dis
gusted with the welcome the natives have given
teers have thrown down their arms The gen.
era opinion Is that 1t Is not worth while to
risk lives and spend millions for the sake Of
ritores which are worse than disloyal to the
mother country. 1t is assumed that there will
be no internal troubles over the evacuation Of
the West Indies. The war has cost $3.50. 900, ,OOO"

FATE OF THE PHILIPPINES CAUSES
ANXIETY-ONE COAL-BEAR-
ING ISLAND.
fBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.

Paris. Aug. 6-Spanlsh exterior bonds to-day
are quoted on the Paris Bourse as high as AZ.
and Cuban bonds remain firm. although 1t Is
now accepted foregone conclusion here that
the United States will never consent to guaran-
tee the latter either directly indirectly. The
extraordinary buoyancy OF Cuban bonds is due
to the reports thar powerful group OF French
fnancers may offer to take them over on an ar
rangement similar to that established in regard
to the national debt OF Peru. II has not been
possible, however, to trace these rumors to any
authentic source.
In diplomatic circles the only point in the peace
negotiations causing anxiety is the fate Of the
Philippines. This is now further complicated by
the knowledge Of the existence Of German min
ing engineers reports, which said to be
now under consideration by the Berlin Foreign
Office. According to these there is one particu-
lar Philippine islard known only TO the Ger
man Government containing deposits Of steam
producing coal, free from lignites and sulphur.
equal to the best Cardiff navigation coal. The
same reports state that all the other coal de-
posts so far known to exist in the Philippines
hold such large proportions Of lignites and sui
phur as to be unfit for navigation purposes In
the opinion of the French naval authorities. the
possession OF this particular coal deposit Will
be of incalcuable value 70 any nation that may
secure coaling stations in the Philippines.
No French dpomatist seems yet to have dis
covered any way in which the Philippine diff
Guilty can be solved otherwise than by the United
States retaining the islands out and out, or
handing them back to Spain: and an influential
statesman remarked to The Tribune correspond
ent: mo European country, not excepting Rus
sa, is prepared to assume the responsibility OF
governing the Philippines, even supposing 1t
could be accomplished without stirring up
European war; for to maintain control OF the
islands would require a permanent garrison OF
sixty thousand men, which would thus be with
drawn from the effective fighting strength in
Europe. All nations. however. especially Ger
many. are on the lookout for coaling stations
there"

London, Aug. 6-That extreme diplomatic
tension exists between st. Petersburg and Lon
don is generally admitted to-day. though the
ofhcials deprecate the alarmist reports which
were current yesterday. 1t is hoped that the
frmer stand adopted by the Marquis OF Sails
bury in the last few days. which seems to have
already created some misgving at St. Peters
burg Will have the desired effect Of arresting
Russian aEgressiveness. 1t is felt both here
and on the Continent that the outcome OF the

has cabled demand for reinforcements and for

is that the natives of the Kwang- ChOu-Wang

there is some suspicion here that the action OF
the French Admiral may be connected with
