The Davis started from Walkers island

WILL NOT FREE SPAIN.
America Recognizes Only Cuban Mu-
nicipal Indebtedness.

AmeT1C0 ASCOEulZcS Ouiy SuDdn Mu.
nicipal Indebtedness.
The American peace commissioners
have been instructed to recognize and give
standing to Cuban municipal indebtedness.
This is not an important matter from a
financial standpoint, as the amount can
not be large, but it is peculiarly signif-
cant in view of the stand taken by the
commissioner in regard to the so-called
Cuban debt" They rejected the Cuban
debt proposition largely on the theory that
the money represented by the bonds was
not expended for the benefit of the people
of the island. and, therefore. should not
be a burden on the new Government.
Pursuing the same l:ic of argument. it is
held that money borrowed by the cities of
Cuba was spent locally and directly for
the benefit of the communities, and should
therefore be continued us a lien upon the
property upon which the loans were orig
inally made. The logic which frees the
island from obligation in connection with
that portion of the Spanish bonded indebt-
edness labeled the Cuban debt clearly
establishes the validity of the distinctly
municipal debts as a continuing claim.
There is no data at hand TO show the az
gregate amount Of the Cuban city indebt-
edness. hut it caunot be monumental, as
investors would not make extrayagant ad-
vanceS. on that sort of security.
