SPAIN ASSUMES LIABILITY.
HAVE BONDS RECOGNIZED BY THE
UNITED STATES AND CUBAN
GOVERNMENTS

Washington, July 4.-The action OF the Madrid
authorities. as reported in the press dispatches.
looking TO the conversion of the Cuban and
Philippine bonds into another and more regular
form OF security. Is regarded here as marking
the final collapse OF the long cherished purpose
on the part of the bondholders to have these
securities recognized and assumed by the Cuban
government in the of Cuba. and by the
United States Government. perhaps by the
Philippine insular government. in the of the
eastern archipelago.
At Paris the Spanish Peace Commissioners
made desperate efforts, first TO have the United
States assume liability for these bonds. and.
falling in that. to have the subject left in such
shape as to permit another attempt in that di-
rection later on The United States Commits
soners positively refused TO admit into the
Treaty of Peace any language directly or indi-
rectly tending to recognize any obligation on the
part of this country for these bonds. The pro-
tocols, however have been regarded by the
Spanish contingent. or at least by the bondhold-
ers as affording hope for more favorable out
come at a later date. But the fact that the
process of conversion is now under way is taken
as conclusively marking the assumption by the
Spanish Government of full liability for the
bonds.
Though known Cuban and Philippine bonds
these securities were actually issued by the
Spanish Government and in the case Of Cuba
the funds realized from their sale were used to
prosecute the effort to suppress the rebellion.
A large amount OF the bonds was held by
French. German and English capitalists and.
naturally their governments felt an interest in
having them assumed by strong government
like the United States.
One of these governments actually presented
at the State Department an extensive list of
holdings of these bonds by its citizens. but Sec
retary Hay promptly refused TO be served with
these papers, and the holders were Obliged TO
recur to the Spanish Government for relief
With these bonds, amounting many mill
ions, eliminated from view possible liza abilities
by the governments Of Cuba and the Philip
pines, there remain outstanding as possible OBJ
legations in the of Cuba only the bonds is
sued by the insurrectionary government and
some municipal Indebtedness while in the case
of the Philippines city debts and small
subsidies represent all the Indebtedness
dispatch from Madrid yesterday said that at
a Cabinet council the Minister Of Finance Senior
Urzaiz, read the proposed bill suspending the coin
age of silver, except In the of and two
peseta pieces. and authorizing Treasury bonds be
negotiated at three six. nine and twelve months
according to the demands OF commerce. The debt
conversion scheme provides for the conversion into
per cent interior stock OF the per tamped
exterior stock, redeemabe In per preferential

to Cuba
To-day there a demonstration of un-
precedented interest by the Americans The
Cubans took part, and a crowd of several thou
sand by unanimous vote declared that the
Fourth Of July ought to be perma nent holiday
throughout the Cuban Republic.

politan Club, and fine display OF fireworks
followed.

NEARLY TWO HUNDRED INDICTMENTS
FOUND IN MONTANA AND IDAHo-sEC-
RETARY HITCHCOCK INVESTIGATING
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

BY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE.l
Washington July 4.-News continues to reach
the Interior Department indicating an extensive
system of land frauds in the Northwest. Thus
far the revelations are confined almost wholly
10 Montana and Idaho though Interior De-
partment officials are inclined to believe from
the extent of the alleged frauds and the ap-
parent system under which they have been per-
petrated. that they not confined to that
area. Only few days ago Secretary Hitchcock
was informed of the finding of 1O2 indictments
by the Federal Grand Jury at Helena against
alleged land sharks in Montana. and to-day he
received a telegram saying that the Federal
Grand Jury IN Idaho has returned ninety in
dictments for the same offences The Montana
cases grow out Of the peculiar transaction by
which United States Senator W. A Clark has
obtained possession of about fourteen thousand
acres of the public domain and timber lands in
that State. 1t appears that Senator Clark pur-
chased this property outright from group of
men in Montana. who by some means sold IL TO
him before they had secured a perfected title
the land from the government. Suit has been
brought by the government to dispossess Sen
ator Clark. and presumably II is on the evidence
which the government is collecting in prepara-
ton for this civil action on which are based the
big batch of criminal Indictments
1t is not yet known here who is the central
figure in the alleged frauds in Idaho. But Sec
retary Hitchcock has determined TO institute
the most searching and unsparing investigation
into all these cases. as he is now doing In Mon
tana In order to expedite the inquiry IT is
probable that he will soon order investiga-
ton made into the operations of the public
land offices both in Idaho and Montana 1t is
intimated that he cannot understand how such
extensive frauds against the government could
have been committed II the officials charged
with protecting the public interests had been
duly vgiant in the discharge of their duties
The result of his Investigations may be whole
sale decapitation Of federal appointees in the
two States named
The Secretary has sent trusted agents and
experts to Montana to prosecute rigid in
ouiry and he will now send agents from Wash
ington to Idaho to perform similar work
II Is reported that ex-senator Carter has tele-
graphed to the President long message,
ouesting that no further action be taken in the
Montana investigation until he can be heard In
behalf of the officials the Secretary OF the In
terror Is supposed to be after.

Early in the day clouds overcast the sky and
slight rainfall was recorded. But with the
clouds and the rain came the breezes which had
been so long awaited.
A peculiar feature of the weather conditions
was the steady increase in humidity from a. M

it was I6. There little cause for complaint
however, because as the day grew older. the
velocity of the wind also increased. The utter

most worn out by the heat turned into excIa-
