BIC WAR CLAIMS.
France, England and
Germany Want
Damages.
MANY MILLIONS DUE.
Government Will Make
Good Losses of Ameri-
cans in Cuba.

Washington, May 14.-The state dea
partment has been informally advised
that claims aggregating a considerable
amount have been made by Britisha
French and German residents in Cuba
during the recent instruction, and thaA
these ultimately will be pressed against
the United States government. The
claims themselves have not yet been
presented, but are being collected bN
the several foreign offices as the claims
ants send them in. In some cases scheds
ules have been made, and the aggregate
stated to the authorities here.
The French claims aggregate between
10000 600 and 100000 francs. The
German claims are understood to be-
slightly under those of the FRENCH
while the British claims are said to be
considerably more than either the
French or German. These foreign
claims are quite distinct from those of
citizens of the United States originally
against Spain, for damages sustained in
Cuba during the insurrection. The
peace treaty specifically provided for
these American claimants, releasing
Spain and stating that the United
States would make such settlements as
was proper under this clause.
Claims aggregating several millions
have been fled No provision, howeveJ
was made by the treaty for foreign
claimants, and there appears to be
much doubt as to who is liable since
the sovereignty over Cuba has passed
out of the hands of Spain. The United
States having undertaken to look after
the American claimants, the foreigners
are DESTROYS of being treated in the
same manner. 1t was STATED at one of
foreign establishments that there was
no disposition to push the claims un-
duly but to bring them to the attelI-
ton of the United States governments
in order that the question of liability
might be determined and such relief
granted as the merits of the cases wars
ranted.
1t is appreciated in these foreign
quarters that payments will be largely
matter of discretion with the United
States, as the obligation to look after
the American claimants was assumed
voluntarily, and there Is no obligation
either in the treaty or on general rrin-
ciples of law for assuming the claims
growing out of SPANS inability to
maintain order in Cuba during the PEE
riod of Spanish rule. These rreign
claims cover damages to plantations,
personal property, etc, of French. Brit
ish and German residents of Cuba. and
are not connected with the bonded debt
Of Cuba in foreign hands, which debe
was assumed by Spain.

Commission.
BANQUET TO DEWEY.
Insurgents Attack Spanish
Troops and Capture
Gunboats.

Manila, May IA, p. m.-The civilian
members of the U. S. Philippine
commission are favorable to the meet
ing with Filipino commission which
was suggested yesterday on behalf of
Aguinaldoby Uieut Reye of the staff
of Gen. Gregerio del Pillar, who came
to Gen. Lawton under flag of truce,
bearing the proposal 1t is thought by
the American commissioners that the
idea may have resulted from a recent
meeting of the so-caled Filipino con-
gress at San Isidro. Definite informa-
ton on this point, however, cannot be
obtained through the local Filipino
commission, which is in close commun-
ication with the leaders of the rebel
lion and is doing its utmost to secure
peace.
Ten members of Major Gen. Law
tons band of scouts, under M. w.
Young, the old Indian fighter, entered
the town of San Miguel, about 10
miles north of Norzagarey, not aware
of what place it was. They found 200
Filipinos there, .but the rebels, taking
the scouts for the advance of Gen.
Lawton's army, fled after firing few
shots. Young and another scout were
wounded and have been brought to
Manila. The Ninth infantry and a
mounted battery of six guns have been
sent to the front. The uniform quiet
now prevailing in Manila has led the
authorities to relax the rule under
which the city streets We're cleared
from to $50 p. m, and this evening
there is the Target and most brilliant
assembly OF pedestrians and people in
carriages to listen to a band concert on
the Luneta, that has been known here
since the Spaniards left Prof. Schur-
man, president of the United States
Philippine commission, gave a fare
well luncheon today to Admiral Dew
ey, at which Prof. Dean C. Worcester
and Col Charles DENLY of the COM
mission, with Gen. Arthur, Mrs. Law
ton and others were present. The
health of the admiral was drunk with
the utmost eordiality.

Madrid, May 14.-Senor Don Francis
CO Silvela, the Spanish PREMIER in an
interview today regarding the attack
by the Filipinos upon the Spanish gar
rison at zanboanga, island of Mindanao,
in which two Spanish officers and three
men were wounded and one man was
killed, said:
1T is very painful to us to have suf-
fered these losses in a territory that
does not belong to us We left these
troops in the Philippines in the hope
that they might aid in securing the re-
lease of the Spanish prisoners in the
hands of the Filipinos. Our efforts in
this direction have been fruitless.
Aguinaldo refused to treat with us, and
a Frenchman (M Dumarais) who had
offered on our behalf to treat with the
enemy, was killed by them.
America has not yet succeeded, as
she had no more authority than we had
We cannot leave troops any longer in a
territory that we are not obliged to de-
fend, and have telegraphed Gen. Rios
TO use three steamers for the immedi-
ate transportation of our troops from
Zambaoanga and Yolo"
