CUBA'S BONDED DEBT
Right of the Government to Assume
the Cost of the Former Revolution

Washington, July SIT was ascer-
tanned at the war department today
that it is not the intention Of his
government to interfere in Cuba to the
extent of preventing the payment of
Cuban bonds should the new govern
ment of Cuba determine to assume the
bonds issued by the former so-called
government and junta.
Under the Platt amendment, the
amount of the Indebtedness is limited
by the provision hat the new govern
ment shall not or contract any
public debt which the ordinary reve-
nues of the government will not pay
the interest upon and also create a
sinking fund. after d~efraying the ex-
penses OF the government. Under this
clause the United States will determine
when the debt either contracted or as
sumed has reached a limit. 1t is stat
ed that the independence of Cuba car
ries with it the right to create obliga-
lions n to incur Indebtedness with
these limitations.
