Said that Phtewil and accurate oh

in a speech which was almost as note
w orthy as his llrht one In Its e.pulon
of errors:

is for their good and ours that we

If we aid the Cuban people to achieve

votes for president of the L'nlted
States. In .1 measure Mr. IJryan ful
filled conservntlv expectations. Ills

was clear, adiolt and skilfully Keyed to
the popular level. It fionflrmr-d the
speaker's reputation as u foimldable
campaigner but It also convinced many
of hii hearers that Mr. Urynn Is not
the type of man likely over to be chosen
to preside oicr 'lie weighty destinies of
thH great nation.
Our Liability for Spain's Debts.
A legal question of mueh Intel est Ins
claimed tho attention of many (lining
consideration of the Cuban Interven
tion problem. It concerns tho legal
liability of the lntenenlng power for
tho debt which Spain has conttacted
with th" levenues of Cuba as Its secur
ity. The amount of that debt has been
explained by the Xcw Yoik Commer
cial, as follows:
"The llrst loan was made In tSSfi. and
was nominally for $124,000,000 at 6 per
cent. There aie $1 17,970.000 of tho bonds
outstanding, and the Intel est nnd sinking-fund
chmges per annum are $7,
"S.200. In 1S00 a new 5 per cent Cuban
loan, with the usual Spanish guaranty,
was cieated, no'-nlnally to refund the
old C per cent loan and pay off the
floating debt, which consisted of ad
vances fiom the Spanish, trensury. The
lefundlng part of tho operation was
neer completed, and when the present
war on the Island broke out, tho bonds
thus leseived weie, of course, used to
defi.iy Spain's war exp"ncs. At pres
ent there are about $171,000,000 of the
loan of 1S90 outstanding, Involving In
loiest and sinking-fund charges of $!,
700.000 per annum Hot'- the loan of
li(i nnd that of 1S00 are payable, prln
dpal and Interest, In gold. The next
Cuban loan was cieated In 189G. nnd as
the Insular ioenucs weie exhausted,
the gtuuanty of the Imperial treasury
had lo be supplemented by a positive
lien upon the Spanish custom lecelpts.
This loan is payable not In gold, but In
silver pesetas, it consists of $160,000
000 of u per cent bonds, which have
been issued from time to time dining
the past tilt oo jears. mainly b the
method of obtaining advances upon
them fiom the Hank of Spain, which in
stitution, to ue u colloquial phrase, has
can led the bag through the whole of
Spain's desperate cffoit to obtain pos
sesion of Its revolted colon. The
charges: upon tho loan of 1S96-1R1S,
which was to bo ledeemed or refunded
in eight eais, amount to $20,000,000
per annum. Hosldos this, the latest
leturns fiom Madiid on the condition
of the Cuban treasury places its float
ing Indebtedness, ((insisting in the
main of overdue salaries, pa of ttoops,
nnd othei expenses, at some $70,000 000.
Thus the entire Spanish Cuban debt Is
composed ol two gold loans, amounting
to fjsii.ooo.oon, and canlng annual
iliaiges of $17 61)0 000 gold, the sller
loan of $100 000,000, with annual charges
of $2ii 000.000 and the floating debt of
$70 000.000. The total debt Is $.119,000,
Oiio, to which may be added the heavy
expenditures made bv the Spanish
tioasury since the beginning of the
Insurrection "
The question Is. Would the l'nlted
States become liable loi this Immense
debt If. bv Intel veiling with force In
Cuba It put an end to Spanish revenues
fiom that lbland and thus impalied the
heitnily of the holders uf these Spanish
bonds'.' This mattei of tho Uuanclal
Intel est of ihese foicign' bond holdois
In eontinued Spanish sovereignty in
Cuba has a good deal to do with our
government's delay In kicking Spain
out of Cuba much mote. In our Judg
ment, than it ought to have had. As
between dollar lights and human lights
we aie for the latter eveiy time.
Although much has bepn said by un
hupottaiit poisons to the effei t thnt If
we intervened in Cub i without fiist
lecognUing an independent government
theie we could be held foi pajtnent of
Spain's debt, this eontention does not
appeal to have substantial authority
buck of it. rfpnatoi Spoonei on Satur
day devoted his entile speech to thjs
point, and at Its conclusion lecvlved
the heaity indorsement, unofficial of
course, of seveial Justices of tho Su
pteino oomt who had listened to It In
tho senate galleij In substance tho
senator's contention was that Spain's
light to the levenues of Cuba had
altcndy been foi felted b the ineffect
iveness and Inhumanity of her gov
ernment. He quoted eminent nuthoil
ties, among others Woolsev. The lat
ter, discussing the point of a nation's
liabilities, with particular refeitncc to
the eontioversy with Spain, involving
the ultimate question of Cuba's fiee-
eluin, says concerning the liability of a
new Cuban government for tho debts
of Spain, based upon the hypothecation
of Cuba's levenues. "Heie me riicum
stances when a. change of government
may dissolve pi lor obligations. It is
whoie a dospotlc.il government has
contracted debts against a nation at
tempting to recover its liberties. The
government is do facto In pos-esslon
of authority, and thus Its acts are law
ful. Nevertheless, obligations entered
Into to subjugate the people must bu
regarded in this cxtteme case, as per
taining to the goernmont alone, and
not as testing on the people."
The general point underlying this ar
gument was brought Into jet clonrer
lellef bv nn illustration employed by
Senntor Hoar1 " I do not believe," he
said, "that tho mnn who enters u
house to put out n file becomes legally
responsible for every mortgage on the
house, and 1 do not behove that a po
lircmun who enters'n dlsouleiiy house
to nubdue n riot or a fight, even If he
has to take tho jiroprletor Into custody,
becomes liable for eveiy debt which the
propilutor may huve ineui led. I do not
think, If we tnke Spain Into curtody,
if wo put hor ort the Island of Cuba,
neck and heels, that wo are In the
least responsible! for uny mortgages
she may liava undertaken to put on the
Uland."
i:Secretary of Stato John W. Fos
ter, a recognized authority on Inter
national law Informs tho New York
Sun: "Tho proposed intervention of
the United States to put nn end to the
hostilities In Cuba cannot, In my opin
ion, mnke our government In any man
nor responsible for the bonds Issued bv
tho Spnnlsh government, for the Intel -est
nnd principal of which by their
ttnns, the customs revenues of Cuba
are pledged. These bonds represent
mainly the debt which the Spanish gov
ernment has Incurred In Its efforts to
put down the present and former In
suriectlons In that Island. The Inter
vention will, result In nil probability
In tho overthrow of Spanish soverclgn
tj In Cuba nnd the establishment of
nn Independent government in Its
place. As well might Oieat Urltnln,
at the close of om Kovolutlonary war,
Imvu demanded of Prnnce that she
pay tho expense of that wnr because
she had Intervened to recognize tho
Independence of tho colonies and hnd
materially contributed to destroy thp
sovereignty of the mother country. Nor
Is the question of our responsibility
established by the act of recognition of
the independent government of Cuba,
whether It is mnde concurrently with
armed Intel ventlon or follows that act.
Had Cuban Independence been achiev
ed by peaceful mediation the subject
of validating the bonds in whole or In
part of tho Cuban republic or by tho
guarantee of the United States would
doubtless have been considered In the
negotiations, but diplomacy having
failed by reason of the uncompromising
nttltudo of Spain, and war being theie-
by precipitated, she has risked both her
roverelgnty and her bonds In the ar
bitrament of arms, and they must
nbldo the result. The bondholders
secin to have contemplated such a
contingency, for they required not only
tho pledge of tho customs revenue of
Cuba, but also the guarantee of the
Spanish government. If, In the con
test the army of the l'nlted States is
triumphant, and out of it an in.lepen
dent Cuba emerges, the pledge will
lave disappeared, but the Spanish na
tion will still remain to fulfil Its guai
ant( to Its creditors so far ns it Is
able "
These views are concunod In by the
Hon. John A. Kaspon, special reclp
toclty commissioner, nnd a leading In
ternational lawyer and diplomat. "I
Know of no Instance In history." said
Mi. Kasson, "where an Intervener na
tion in the affairs of another, In the in
toictts of peace nnd good ord?r, has
been made to nssume responsibility for
the obligations of tho nntlon affected
bj the Intervention. If we go to Cuba
to socuie jeaco there. It Is becaus-
the miscon.'nct of Spain in the manage
ment of Us affairs has pioduced such
a condition of things that It Is Intoler
able to us. Our nationnl economy is
thieatened l.y the existing evils In tho
island. The cimmerce of the country
is disturbed. The Cuban question
affects our political life. We Hnd nu
merous leasons for Intervention, but
none of them nor tho act of Interven
tion inn make us liable for Spanih
bonds Neither could the recognition
of the Cuban republic by the United
States affect the relations of Spain and
her bondholder. They must still look
to her for settlement. All history
shows that whenever, subsequent to
intervention or the locognition of a
lew government, relations were estab
lished between the Intervener and
bondholder:' of the extinguished sover
eignt.v. they wore based upon ptincl
ples that had no application to the
mattei if Intervention or recognition."
In other words, Spain's Is the debt
and upon Spain Is the responsibility of
liquidation or repudiation.
