SPANISH HONOR.
Spain Pays Indemnity Due Under
Treaty Of 1884.

Washington, Sept. 25.-The treasury
department has begun distribution Of
SOS, 500. the sum received from the gov
eminent of Spain as one of the annual
paymcLts of indemnity due under the
treaty of 1884. The continuation Of
these payments is regarded as a mark
ed evidence OF the high sense OF honor
cherished by the Spanish people In
meeting an obligation.
About 1918 some American merchant
ships were seized and destroyed by
Spanish naval vessels and when the
matter was brought before a tribunal
an award was made in favor OF the
United States citizens for the amount
of their losses The principal was con-
verted by a curious Spanish method In
perpetual rtntes. and the Spanish gov
eminent has met the interest on these
with great regularity ever since the
treaty OF 1884 BY rule Of information
al law, war absolutely extingushes
treaties previously existing between the
principals: but the Spanish government
did not regard itself as thus relieved
by It's recent war with the United
States, and the only discomfort to
which the scripholders were subjected
.was in a slight deferment OF two pay
mcnts during the war.

were occupied in hearing statements re-
garding the management OF the lepers
settlement Almost all who were heard
on the subject objected to d transfer Of
the control OF the settlement from the

principal persons heard were Atty. Gen
Dole. DR.. Sloggett, the president Of the
board Of health, and w. o. Smith, for
merly attorney general.
The Planters association presented a
memorial urging that Congress modify
the Chinese exclusion act so as TO per-
NIT the Introduction Of limited num-
her OF Chinese laborers to be employed

SECRETARY SHAW'S
POLICY OF Relic F

Washington, Sept. 2j--Secy Shaw to-
day gave out the following statement.
Money once covered into the treas
ury land this. OF course, includes the
sub treasuries), cannot thereafter be
deposited In banks. All custom receipts
are by law payable TO the sub treasury
and treasury. The only fund therefore,
available In banks is internal revenue
and miscellaneous receipts before they
have been actually covered into the
treasury. These amoant TO about a
half million per day. and since the
strlngency arose TO their fullest ex-
tent have been steadfastly returned 10
circulation. This policy will be con-
tinued for 30 or so days, If needed, and
longer il necessary,
In the meantime, national bank cir
culati0n has been increased about seven
million dollars largely induced by the
distribution Of deposits and the further
Increase to the amount Of eight millions
il assured.
GAN rumors OF experiments have
been unauthorized by the treasury de-
partment. II is To be hoped that the
public will place no credence In vagaries
started by irresponsible and entrusted
the country win understand that the
treasury department to the extent Of its
ability will stand by the banks, east
and west, north and south, and II Is
also hoped that the banks will stand by
every business and every interest that
Is worth protecting.
1.-The only way 10 get money out OF
the treasury into circulation after Il has

ment of legal obligations Of the gov
eminent. These may be anticipated.
The department did anticipate the Oc-
tober interest. 1t now offers TO an
tlclpate all interest maturing between
Oct. /, and the end Of the fiscal year
II presented within so days, at a re-
bate OF two-tenths OF one per cent per
month. which Is al the rate OF "a per

rate as to allow the government TO profit
thereby at "a per cent per annum. The
amount maturing before June 80, 1903,
Is in round figures s2O,650O 900. The

"There will be no experiments tried
and no policy adopted until after ma
ture deliberation and no feelers viii be
sent out. Anything to the contrary
should be discredited"
Regarding the public report that he
had resigned, Secy. Shaw said;

What is the states evidence as TO

mony of Mr.. Hilton, who said that the

Haynes for two years. The evidence

vous from the excessive use Of cigar

was TO blame, and wrought up by such
habits and when the occasion came II

At the opening Of the session this af-
ternOon Senator Brown continued his
argument
He said: Gentlemen. the attorney
for the state has rightfully said that
the defendant Is presumed TO be sane
until the preponderance Of the evidence
shows that he is insane. We have
shown the boys character, habits-his
life from childhood and have proven
by persons who have been acquainted
with him all his life. that his habits
were such as to destroy his mind and
render him mentally irresponsible. The
state has met this evidence by asking
hypothetical questions and by the tes-
timony of neg expert witnesses who
formed their judgment upon an ass0cia-
ton Of 10 or 20 minutes with defend
ant.
Counsel has taken a few Of defend
ants actions and has judged him sane.
We take all the facts and circum-
stances through his entire life and put
them all together and show to you,
gentlemen, that the boy was irresponsi-
bic for his acts The burden Of insanity
Is on this defendant and for three days
