MILLIONS IN CUBAN CLAIMS.
Filed by American CItIzsnJ, Who Suffer-
cd Damngos In tho Island.

Filed by American CltizsnI, Who Sunor-
cd Damages In tho Island.
WASHINGTON March lathe de-
partment Of state has received claims
to the amount Of SCI, 100000 on nc
count Of property destroyed In
Cuba belonging to American cit
liens and also on account of in
juries sustained by citizens for which
pecuniary indemnity is sought. The
peace treaty expressly provided that
the United States and Spain each
should assume liability for all such
claims preferred by their respective
citizens. Therefore the United States
government is probably chargeable
for all the damages sustained by
Americans through Cuba by either
the insurgent or Spanish troops, and
in the case of some plantations owned
by American citizens these losses were
very heavy
Congress made no provision for the
settlement of these claims, 50 the state
department is at present unable to do
moro than merely to file them.
