Mayor Hughes says that in case c.

IF Mr.. Munson has a chance to go
to work for the Independent Telephone

by Colonel and Mrs. "A. S. johnson, Mr..
and Mrs. c. r. Love, Mr.. J. P. Barnes,
DIR. Ida Barnes, Miss Gertrude Barnes.

DAMAGE CAUSED BY CUBANs,
Many Claims for Indemnity Depend
Upon Spafn's Liability.

Two propositions propounded by the
Spanish claims commission will, it is said
give the claimants and their attorneys
something to think about between now
and the time for presentation and argu-
ment Of the cases. The commission has
suggested tentatively the doubt of the le-
gality of claims involving damage wrought
by the Cuban insurgents. The question is
asked whether Spain would have been liza
BILE for such damages, this country taking
over no more responsibility than would
have laid at the doors of SPAIN
1t is said that quite number Of the
pending claims involve this question. The
attorneys will have to convince the COM
mission that Spain was liable in the prem
1seS before the commission will take up
the question of evidence.
1t has also been suggested that all evil
dence Will have to be taken in this coun-
try, which may prove hardship to many
claimants. The position of the commits
sion is that If dispositions were taken in
Cuba the commission would have no power
TO punish witness for making false state
mentS.
