Bond Holders Will Lose.

New York, Sept. % A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Holders
of Cuban bonds may as we'll make up
their minds to pocket their losses, if they
depend upon the United States to pay the
obligations out of the Cuban
Reputation by Spain of these bonds will
probably cause the bond holders to turn
to this country for redress, but it can be
stated authora1ively that the adminis-
%tration considers Spain alone responsible.
AS far as this country is concerned, the
question of the Cuban bonds was settled
at Paris by the American commissioners,
who emphatically refused to admit the
claim set up by Spain that Cub was re-
sponsible for the debt incurred for the
good administrations of that island. At
the time the Spanish commissioners ar
gued that "it would be contrary to he
most elementary notions of justice and
inconsisten. wit ne dictates of univer-
sal conscience Of mankind for a sover-
eign to lose all it's right over a territory
and the inhabitants thereof and despite
this to continue bound by the obligations
she had contracted exclusively for their
regime and government"
The American commissioners fatty re-
fused to entertain the proposition thai
provision be made in the treaty for Cuba
to assume the debt incurred by the mo-
Their ountr for the purpose of waging
war against the inhabitants of the island,
In an extensive review of the panish
bond issues it was shown that bonds ag-
gregating 1891 900, 600 We're issued and at
tributed to the Cuban debt" The AM
erican commissioners then ~repudiated
responsibility for the payment of the
debt in these words:
From no point of view can the debts
described be considered as the local debts
of Cuba or as debts incurred for the BEN
eft of Cuba In no sense are they obli-
cations properly chargeable to tina
sland. They are debts created by the
government of Spain for her own pur-
poses and through its own agents, in
/ whose creation Cuba had no voice.
From the moral point of view, the pro-
ly u%ntenable. II, as has sometimes been
reported the struggles for Cuban indepen-
dence have been carried on and support
ed by a minority of the people of the
island, to impose upon the inhabitants as
a whole the cost of suDpressing the insur-
r~ectionists, would be to punish the many
for the deeds of the few. If, on the other
hand, these struggles have, as he AM
erican commissioners maintain. repre-
sented the hopes and aspirations of the
/ body of the Cuban people. to crush the
inhabitants by a burden created by Spain
in the effort to oppose their Independence
would be ever more unjust"
Tho suggestion that this government
should assume. either itself. or for Cuba
or Porto Rico. the burden Of the charges
and obligations now in question. was not
put forward during the negotiations that
resulted in the conclusion of that con-
vention, nor If it had been so put forward
would it have been for a momen enter
tanned by the United States.

The Whole Day Was Occupied
With One Case.
NIGHT SESSION WAS HELD
As Judge Napt0n Wants to Clear Up
the Civil D0cket--Change Of
Venue From MisSOuls.

The civil case Of Z. B. White against
the district court this morning with j. H.
Proulx on the witness stand. The case
which is being tried before Judge Napton
without a jury, promises to consume the
greater part of the week. Only one wit
ness, the plaintiff, F.. B. White, was ex-
amined yesterday. He was on the stand
all day. Another session was held last
night until a late hour, it being the in
tention of Judge Napton to push the trial
of all cases as speedily as possible in
order to clear up as much of the civil
calendar as possible at this term, for the
reason that there are many ~unimportant
cases which should never have appeared
in the district court, such as some of the
appeal cases from the justice courts.
The trial jurors We're excused until 9:oo
o'clock tomorrow morning. The wit
nesses in the case of Hahn VS.. James, set
for today Were also excused until to-
morrow at the same hour.
A transcript on change Of venue from
Missoula county in the case of Mentrum-
Briggs company VS.. Mammoth Mercantile
company was filed in the district court
today. The complaint in the case al
leges that between Dec. !, 1897 and April
S. 1898, the plaintiff sold and delivered
to the defendants goods. wares and mer-
chandise valued at $421.4 40 of which $21l.43
remains unpaid. 1t further charges that
the officers of the company failed to file
with the county clerk and recorder a true
and correct report showing the financial
condition of the said corporation on Sept.
/ 1897. That a report has been made and
filed, but that the same was not a true
report of it's condition: therefore the Off
GERS of the corporation are responsible for
the debts of the corporation and are

ton 451 OF the civil code. w. NJ. Bick-

President John p. Healey occupied the
chair and Mr.. Milford Spohn was secretary
A communication was read from the gen.
eral executive board of the National Build
Ing Trades Council Of America, inciosing
a proposed amendment to the constitution
OF the national organization, to the effect
that wherever a local union Of a national
organization affiliated with the National
Building Trades Council is affiliated with a
local Building Trades Council no local
union OF the same craft shall be admitted
by said local Building Trades Council with
out the consent of the local union already
affiliated
The letter accompanying the proposed
anendment explained that 1t Is intended
to protect the interests Of the Brother
hood of Painters and Decorators Of Amer
ica and other national organizations now

1T was further explained that there are
Two national bodies of painters and deco

former is allied with the American Fed

not inclined to favor either. The amend
meft was rejected by a unanimous vote.
