TROUBLE THAT
THREATENS CUBA

New York, Feb. 7.-Senntor Frye Of
Maine, ranking member OF the commit
tee on foreign relations and member
of the American peace commission
which negotiated the Paris treaty, Is
quoted In Washington special to the
Tribune us saying OF the more weighty
Issues involved In the Cuban situation:
"Flrst and foremost. l place that
stupendous bonded debt which Spain
fastened upon the revenues Of Cuba
Just before Spanish sovereignty was
destroyed in the island by this coun-
try's armed Intervention. That debt,
as I rerollect 1t. was between 5000, 600, :
900 and 500, ,OOO. 600. and not $JOO,OOO,-
600, as IL SO generally stated by the
newspapers. recall distinctly the ef-
forts that were made while we were
negotiating the peace treaty mt Paris
to have us make provisions for the
payment of that debt. This we ind
neither the desire nor the power to do.
II do not hesitate to say that we now
owe 1t to Cuba to get into the constitu-
tion by some means clause plainly,
positively and unequivocnlly repudiat-
Ing that debt. If this IL not done Cuba
will start with burden that will
crush her. Cuba never can pay the
stupendous sum that was assessed
against her revenues. though felt Ger
tain Spain and France, whose citizens
own nearly all the bonds, which they
purchased for the most part at very
low figures. will demand full payment
Just as soon us Cuba Is declared an In
dependent sovereignty. BY what meth
oil we can get nm outright repudiation
Of this enormous debt In the Cuban
constitution am not now prepared to
say. That will have to he delivered by
future events. l am certain that Con
gress cannot approve. reject or In any
way amend or modify the Cuban con
stitution. The Teller resolution In let
ter and spirit prevents that. But I sec
nothing In the way of Congress dis
cussing the Cuban constitution at the
proper time. and advising the Cubans
what to do with that instrument for
their own good"

The railroads have been greatly
abused as soulless corporations that
were grinding the life blood out of the
people. The great Galveston disaster
has. however. revealed the fact that
the managers Of these corporations
have hearts which are susceptible Of
being touched by the cries of distress.
Their trains were placed at the dis
posal Of all those engaged in relief
work on the coast. Provisions and
supplies were carried forward free of
charge, committees from every Sec
tion Of the state were furnished trans
portation. and when the refugees from
Galveston began to pour into Houston
and 1t became serious question what
was to be done with them the railroads
solved the problem by furnishing
transportation without charge to all
VINO wished to leave and to any point
they wished to go. Grand Master An
derson informs US that but for this
fact Houston would have been overrun
with people who had to be cared for.
and that suffering and distress would
nave been largely, increased as well AZ
tho cost OF meeting conditions which
would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson
desires us. through these columns, to
thank the different roads for the great
service rendered mis- committee at
Houston. II 1t were possible we would
be glad to see parallel columns, in one
OF which should appear the acts of
these railroad corporations in q time
OF great calamity and distress. and In
the other the amount contributed by
the little two-by-four demagogues who
are always trying to array the prstu-
aices OF the masses against any and
evsry Kind Of entsrprise.-From the

ColorAdo'a Debt.

Senate Bill No. 22S, by Senator Sell
domridge. providing for constitution
nj amendment to take care of the In
debtedness Of the state. gives state
ment OF the debt already accrued.
The first part of the proposed amend
ment IL to provide against the piling up
OF another such debt ns that which
now faces the state. and the second
part provides for the payment OF the
entire debt which now exists.
II is set forth In section l that the
state shall not contract any debt except
for the purpose OF erecting public
buildings for the use of the state. to
suppress insurrectiOn. defend the state
or. In time OF war. to assist the nation
al government. The present constitu-
tlon Is construed by many to provide
for the same thing, but instead OF par
ticularly setting forth that moneys
shall be expended for the state by the
governor only In times OF war and in
surrection, II adds '.cnses of emer-
gency," which has been construed by
governors TO cover all manner of eX-
penses and deficiencies. The express
language of Senator Seldomridge'.,
amendment will leave no doubt about
this matter.
The bill further proposes that the
debt In any one year for public build
in0 shall not exceed one half mill on
each dollar OF valuation OF taxable
property within the stant. 1t Is further
proposed that II shall not be lawful
for the General Assembly to nppropri-
ate money except for Instructions and
war. in excess Of the revenue for the
preceding two years. AT present ap-
:pr0ptiatfoNs are made on anticipated
revenue.
Then II proposes this disposal OF the
present Indebtedness by nm issue OF
four per cent. bonds to be sold Mt not
less than par value:
Warrants now held in the public
school fund OF the state to the
