Judge Day presented the demands of the American commission~ ers in threatening words. He said that delay was the only possible object attain- able by the persistent efforts of the Span-~ ish commissioners to saddle the United States with Cuban debt, and would be tole-~ rated no longer, as the United States would neither assume nor guarantee any part of the debt. , “The Spaniards replied that this placed Spain in a position of repvdiating or re- ducing the face value of the Cuban bonds from 50 to 60 per cent. paying only half the stipulated interest on the reduced ee Port of Charlottetown.

The Spanish com- missioners thereupon remarked that Spain, baving abandoned such sovereignty under pressure from tbe United States, and the | United States having denied that sovereign~ | ty henceforth belongs to them, Cuba is de} facto in a state of anarchy, as an inter-j; mission of sovereignty cannot be viewed in| avy other light. “The American commissioners rejoined that, without accepting sovereigaty, the! Unived Statee considered themselves des puted and bound to maintein security for all tbe inhabitants; that they would not fail to introduce «nd upbold order, and in | By short, that they woalddo all that was necessary to put the island as speedily as poesible in a state of normal organization, to be transformed at the earliest moment into a legal regularity, satisfactory for the security of all, “Upon this the Spanish commis-i oners, with whatseems striking logic, promptly replied that by the fact of thedeclaret on just made them of the United States unger. taking to restore legality, order and secu- rity, the United States were invested with veritable sovereignty, and consequently could not refu-e to accepi the consequences of such sovereiguty, seeing that they ad- mittedly Gould not tolerate the relapse into anarchy of anisland placed unjer their supervision and direction. “Notwithstanuing these striking ob- either eide, but entitled to weight, the refusal of the United States is not of so positive a character as would at first sight seem to result from the formal declara- tions mentioned. “The reasoning given meis this: The United States bave declared that they made @ war, not of conquest, but of libera- tion andorder, because they could not allow the prolongation at their very door of a state of things which was, in their eyes, a blow to the cause of humanity and civilixation. They therefor,made a public declaration that the ware was not one of conquest; and they now consider that by agreeing to be invested with tie sovereign- ty of Cuba, they would give themselves the appearance of having conquered the island for territorial aggrandizement. They refuee to give themseives the ap pearance of a conquering vation. Hence they positively refuce to accept that capa- city of sovereignty which would be incon~ sistent with tbe character of humanitarian disinteres'edness essential to the honer of America.” It’s so th2 world over. the racket.” your price— limit is. places every 50 cents or so.
