A leading manufacturer Of wall pa
per has this 10 say regarding the pref
ty, fanciful designs that decorate
household walls:
MANY of the best designers were
once comic valentine artists. The pay
for the latter work is meager, but the
artists do not entirely depend on
sketching for a living.
The majority are untitled for high
class work. but one here and there
drifts into black and white. Wall pa
per designers earn good wages Five
years ago a valentine artist threw up
the ugly caricatures IN disgust; he
earns from SIS to $50 weekly now, his
floral patterns being at once strikin 2
and original.
ANY girl designers? A few here and

New York, Sept. PA special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton says: The decision by the Spanish
cabinet that the interest of the Cuban
bonds must be paid by the Cuban gov
|ernment is a virtual announcement that
Spain will not pay the interest and that
the bonds are valueless. Involved in this
announcement is the condition that
there may be an attempt to entangle
congress in discussion Of the RESPONSE
bilities of the United States government
for the interest during the American
Occupation Of the island.
The action Of the Spanish government
was referred to the state department.,
from which the following authoritative
statement was obtained: THE United
States commissioners at Paris never at
any time or in any degree agreed that
the United States should be responsible
for Spains Cuban debt. There never
was any understanding that any other
party should be responsible for that
debt than Spain herself. The reason
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 instructions.
The United States might have assumed
to pay this debt IL the funds named had
been expended in internal improve
ments in Cuba. This government, as is
we'll known, consented to pay to Spain
twenty millions in the case of the Phil
llppine islands, solely on the ground that
approximately that amount had been
expended by Spain in improvements.
The United States has assumed no OBJ
Legations for. and has no interest what
ever in, the declarations of the Spanish
cabinet on debts of Spain or how they
shall be paid. The present declaration
looks like reputation of the debt.
principal ard interest
The state department argues that
when Spain relinquished her sovereign
| ty in Cuba she relieved that island of
debts contracted to keep her in bond
age. This construction, it is held. is af-
lfirmed in the notes which passed be-
tween the two disputing commissions
when the treaty was under discussion in
| Paris.
