THE SPANISH-CUBAN DEBT.
An Infamous Accumulation Which
Spain Would Saddle ON America.

To the Editor OF The Times:
1t would not be just IN our peace ne
gotiations with Spain to accept the Gu
ban debt. either for ourselves or the Gu
bans. 1t is well known that the so-called
Cuban debt is entirely Spanish debt. as
the Cubans did not derive one cents
worth of benefit from it. The bonds were
issued to cover various debts of Spain
and were to be paid from the revenues
OF Cuba. but they did not contribute
peseta to the benefit of Cuba.
In this enormous debt, which was 1885,
791.2Si in 1895. was Included a debt of
Spain to the United States, the expenses
incurred by Spain when she occupied San
Domingo. the expenses for the invasion
of Mexico in alliance with France and
England. the cost of her hostilities
against Peru. the money advanced to the
Spanish treasury during the recent Car
list wars. and all tina. Spain has spent
to uphold its dominion in Cuba and TO
cover the lavish expenditures of its ad-
mnistration since 1865
The interest of this debt imposed a bur-
den of s9.7s on each inhabitant of Cuba
The income of Cuba in prosperous times
has been calculated at $s0Oo0.e00. The
Stdtt, municipal anu PROVINCIAL CndfSeS
take more than 40 per cent of this
amount. but OF this forty millions but
$ls2. 900 was assigned to public instruction.
The appropriation for the administration
of justice did not reach $50O.000. while
the sales of stamped paper realized a
revenue of s750.000. the government thus
deriving pecuniary profit from the admin
istration Of Justice.
The manifesto of the Cuban revolution
t.
at the outbreak of the present war, Spain
finds that although the appropriations
consigned in the Cuban budgets since ISIS
amount to nearly 500. 000 900. not a single
military road has been built. no fortifica-
tions. no hospitals. and there Is no mater
ial of war. The state has not provided
even for its own defense"
In addition TO the Cuban bonds. the
people Of Cuba have an irredeemable pa
per money saddled on them, issued by
direction of the various governor gener-
ais. which amounts to about $75.OO90oO.
Every governor general made his fortune
while in Cuba, and Polavieja, Campos,
and Weyler obtained their millions
through the medium of this paper money.
They pocketed the gold and silver and
paid the army and navy and other Off
cials in greenbacks. and business men
were compelled to take them under PEN
Slty OF imprisonment lnuS tniS paper
currency circulates while the people who
handle 1t know that 1t is worthless. Spain
has made enough OF Of Cuba
The Cubans have not only had to pay
enormous revenues to Spain. but also had
to pay all additional expenses incurred by
Spain in the revolutions of recent years.
All Spanish troops in Cuba and all naval
forces on that station have to be paid
and supported out OF the Cuban treasury.

New York, Aug. 1e.-The uprising of the
clothing trades in the East Side, which
has been a series of surprises since it
started, had a new one to furnish yester-
day.
This was the advent of Samuel Glad

fourteen years, who has been appointed

posed of the boys aged from ten to four
teen years. who attend the operators at
the sewing machines, and was hastily or
ganized by Max Warfman, leader of the
striking chiIdren's jacket makers on
Tuesday. The idea was to call 4 general
strike of these boys, of whom there are
one to every five operators machines,
and thus make it impossible to run the
machines in case non-union men are en-
ployed as the boys are a necessity in ev-

this shop and appointed a committee to
organize the boys in the other shops.
There are only seventy-five boys in all.
but they are as necessary to the shoTs as
the driving wheel would be to an engine
Their average wages are the same as
those of Gladstone.
The boys held a meeting late on
Wednesday night, and declared general
strike for 81 a week for attending each
machine which would enable them to
earn s. a week. working nine hours
day.
Young Gladstone was naturally looEad
upon as a leader, and a deputation Of
the youthful strikers waited upon him
and informed him that he was ele tied
to the office. He accepted with becoming
grace. He at once called a meeting of
Junior Mechanics Union No. /, at 80.
7s Essex Street. and in an impassioned
speech exhorted his young comrades rot
to yield until victory had perched on
their banner.
Gladstone will also be the leader of
a strike of buttonhole makers. 200 in
number. who are being organized and
will join the strikers in about two DAYS
This will so effectively tie up the shops
that no garments can be turned out until
the strike is over. He will corporate
