SPANISH WAR CLAIMS
Commission Lays Down Principles 70
Its Guidance.
,Ry- a ssociated Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The Spanish
Claims Commission has enunciated the
principles by which it will be governed
in passing upon various delnurrers which
have been submitted to it in connection
with the claims now under considera-
lion on account of the war between Spain
and Cuba
The general basis is laid down that
In assuming the responsibility. which
would otherwise have been SPANS, the
United States is bound to pay all claims
for which Spain could have been held
It is further held that the insurrec-
ton in Cuba had gone beyond the con-
troll of the Spanish Government and that
it was not responsible for damages done
TO foreigners by the insurgents.
If. however. it be shown that the
Spanish authorities might have prevented
the damage done in any particular case
by the exercise of due diligence. the
commission announces that it will hold
that Spain was liable.

Pedestrians.

AS result of a determination among
the merchants of lower Main Street to
gain business prestige over their COM
petitors, lsadore Cohen WAS arrested on
a warrant yesterday afternoon by Acting
Sergeant Werner. ana this morning III
the Poiics Court he will be called Upon
to answer the accusation of interfering
with pedestrians as they walk along the
thorouShfare. The warrant was sworn
out by l. Btrch, who conducts a general
merchandise store adjoining the one IN
which Cohen is employed.
It appears that for several months in
tense rivalry has existed among certain
merchants on Main Street In the vicinity
OF the Chesa peaks and Ohio depot, and
more than once the police have been
called upon to settle the differences.
Upon one occasion the troubles found
their way into the Police Court. and the
present misunderstanding between Cohen
and Rucn Is said 10 be the direct result
of this trial
The officers OF the First District say
that so intense has become the desire OF
certain merchants to Guido their COM
perftors that frequently pedestrians. par
ricl!Earir strangers, are caught by the
arm, as they pass the stores of certain
merchants and urged to come IN and
make purchases. Under the city orat-
