Placed ON the Spanish Treaty Re-
lating to Returning Prfsoners Of
War.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December rs.
AT the Cabinet meeting to-day it was
decided to cOnstrue that portion of the
treaty with Spain regarding the return
of Spanish soldiers and prisoners Of war
in the most liberal way BY the terms
of the treaty the United States agreed
to transport all Spanish soldiers and
prisoners of war serving in the conquer
ed territory to Spain. Quite a number
of disputed questions have been raised
in connection with the repatriation of
the Spanish soldiers serving in the
Philippines, and they have been the
subject of considerable correspondence
between Gen. Otis and the Spanish re-
representatives. at Manila. In the peace
treaty various terms are used-..Span-
ish soldiers" Spanish prisoners"
prisoners in the hands of the insurg-
ents,'' etc. After discussing the ques>
to-day the Cabinet decided TO construe
the language of the treaty literally; in
deed, to stretch it not only TO cover all
Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
insurgents who are now falling into our
hands, but their families and ali Span
ish civilian officials and their families.
All will be transported to Spain at the
expense of the United States.
Secretary Root has no information as
to how many Spanish prisoners remain
on the island.

OUR IMPERIAL FINANCE SYSTEM


Mr.. Gage, First Lord of the Imperial
Treasury to Emperor William, of Can
ton, deigns to explain" his plan to
establish an Imperial Bank in New
York. In published statement in the
New York World he says:
1t Is necessary to concentrate the inter
nal revenue receipts of 5000, 600, nearly
100000 day at one place. in order to
day to day.
But the Secretary does not explain
why the government itself could not do
this distributing-wh it is necessary
to dump into the City National Bank
of New York the collections from
Richmond, Cincinnati, Chicago, Peoria,
Louisville, ST. Louis and San Francisco
why it is necessary to secretly con-
centrate these funds in Wall street for
secret distribution at the will of the
money kings and market manipulators
who own the said City National Bank
of New York-why the distribution
could not be made publicly and, as
stated, by the government itself?
The explanation of the Secretary ex-
plains nothing at all.
But the facts surrounding the estab-
lishment Of the Imperial Bank remain.
In brief, as summarized by the New
York World, they are these:
First-There is in New York a group
OF the most powerful financiers in the
country who were Of the largest con-
tributors to the famous monster Hanna
campaign fund of 1896, who are organ
lied as the National City Bank, and who
have been the recipients Of sundry ex-
traordinary favors from the Mckinley
Administration, such as, for example,
the privilege Of purchasing 'by pri-
vate arrangement" piece of Govern
ment property In New York City for
about $1,700,000 less than its appraised
value.
Second-Mr Gage as Secretary of the
Treasury, as an accountable public
servant, has entered into a secret agree
ment with this syndicate whereby it is
to handle the entire internal revenue
receipts of the Government-about
$300,000,000 year. No one but Mr..
Gage and Mr. Mckinley and the syn
dictate knows the terms of this secret
agreement or how much profit the
syndicators will be able to make out of
the handling" 1t is known, however,
that the syndicate will have each day
very large sum of the peoples money
for which it WILL PAY NOTHING and
upon which it WILL COLLECT
HEAVY INTEREST THROUGH
LOANING IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

again we now have
AN imperial President. An imperi-
al political policy. Grown dependencies,
that can be governed only by the EN-
peror-President through his personal
civil and military appointees The
whole sustained by an imperial bank,
owned and controlled by the imperial
hackers of the imperial syndicate.

geous as an imperial diademi"

AS TO .RELIEVING THE STREET"

Secretary Gage objects to the state
ment that the Treasury came to the
relief of Wall street" during the recent
panic on "the street."
His Smooth Lordship of the Imperial
Treasury objects to such brutal frank
ness of expression. 1t doesn't sound
as we'll as if the transaction were des-
cribed in more elegant and obscure
terms better calculated to bamboozle
the people.
But if Secretary Gage did not come
to the relief of the street." what in the
name of plain English was it that he
did?
The transaction was this: Wall
street was in the throes of a purely
speculative panic. Mr.. Gage, himself
declares that it was confined solely to
speculation in Wall street and did not
affect the business situation in the
country at large, and Mr.. Gage at the
first howl from the squeezed spectators
posted off to New York on the first
train. He went direct to the Wall
street district, to the United States sub
treasury He held a secret consulta-
ton there with the leading fnanciers
of Wall street, and later many govern
ment millions-the peoples money
was dumped into Wall street banks and
by this means, with the additional aid
furnished by interested money kings,
the panic on the New York Stock Ex-
change, due chiefly to over-speculation.
