effect that, leaving aside the question Of equity in
this case, 10 sanction the collection OF this claim
against Cuba now would be 10 open the door TO
numberless other and larger claims. which would
exhaust the financial resources of the island.
II Is known TO the authorities that most OF the
claims sought 10 be included in the Treaty of Peace
at Paris, but resolutely excluded by the United
States Commissioners are not regarded by the
claimants as dead by any means, but are simply
held in allegiance be presented and enforced by
the full power OF foreign governments, if that can
be invoked by the claimants, soon as American
control Of the island ceases.
