BIG VANDERBILT DEAL
For TEanscontipental Line May moi
R.. -. VN.t...l.,s A. ~

For TEanscontInentql Line May not
long be Delayed.
NEW YORK Sept. 2l.-The Journal
and Advertiser says: while the death
Of Cornelius Vanderbilt may temporar-
lily, delay the contamination Of the big
Vanderbilt deal for trans-contineatnl
line, It is not believed that railway and
financial circles viii much longer be
kept in the dark concerning these
plans, From reports now current the
projected combination of roads in many
cases the, Coordination" may be sim
ply in the.way Of tramc agreements and
contracts will by no means be composed
exclusively OF Vanderbilt properties.
At the present time the deal which Is
more comprehensive than any hereto
fore brought about in American rail-
way properties, representing nearly O
billion In capital stock includes Hunt
ington, Rockefeller and Vanderbilt
roads. Not only will there be through
mid continental line from New York to
Puget Sound, but there will also be a
southern trans-continental line.
The Chicago & Alton will figure in
the deal as connecting link between
the New York Central-Lake Shore at
Chicago and the Missouri, Kansas 4
Texas at St. Louis and Kansas City.
The Southern Pacific will be reached
by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Civ
ing through line to Southern Callfor-
mia.
Mr.. Rockefeller, as a director In the
New Haven road and an important fac
tor in the Boston & Albany Will throw
to the Now York Central the control OF
the New England roads. He is also an
important factor with the Vanderbiits
in the Chicago & Northwestern and
Union. Pacific, which win be combined
for the most direct trans-continental
line practically under one management.
This viii be the northern arm of the
gigantic railway system which will In
clude the Oregon short line and the Or
egon railway and navigation, which
have IN fact, been already taken over
by the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Rockefeller controls the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and Is largely inter-
ested in the Chicago g. Alton.

NEW YORK. Sept. Ara special to
the Journal and AdveFtissS fEpm WASH
ington. says: The decision ~ the Span
lsh cabinet that the interest on the
cuban bonds must be paid by the Gu
ban government is q virtt9f announce
ment that Spain win not iF2gg the inter.
est. and that the bonds tlps valueless
involved in this announcement is the
condition that there may be in attempt
to entangle Congress in a discussion OF
the responsibility OF the United States
government for the interest during the
American occupation OF tAs island,
The action of the Spanish cabinet was
referred to the state department from
which the following authoritative state
ment was obtained: "The United States
commissioners at Paris never at any
time or in any degree agreed that the
United States should bec6the response
Bile for spain's Cuban debt. There
never was any understanding that any
other party. should be responsible for
that debt, than Spain herself The rea-
son the United States did not assume
the debt or any part Of 1t, was that the
debt was Incurred almost wholly by
Spain to crush the several inSurrec-
tons. The United states might have
assumed to guarantee this debt II the
funds named had been expended in
International improvements ii. 'uba.
This government as Is wen Known, con-
scented to pay Spain 32O,OOO,OOO in the
case of the Philippine islands, solely on
the ground that approximately that
amount had been expended by Spain in
improvements in the islands.
"The United States therefore has as
sumed no obligations for and has no
interest whatever in the declarations Of
the Spanish cabinet on the debts Of
Spain or how they shall be paid. The
present declaration looks like repudIa-
tlon of the debt, principal and interest. :"
The state department argues that
when Spain rellnquished her sovereign
ty in Cuba she relieved that island OF
debts contracted to keep her in bondage.
This construction, 1t is held. is affirmed
in the notes which passed between the
two dlsputihg commissions when the
treaty was under discussion in Paris.
