MuioQ the pun oimmiuiontri were
occupied with the consideration of the
Spanish preMUtatlon of Tuesday laat
and the American auawer, aubmltted
OB Friday. relating to Cuba and the
debt of the laland.
The interchange* regarding Cuba
are now *o advanced that the Span-
ts(da will not fall to nnderatand the
felted States' determination not to
■mae part or whole of the eo-ealled
Cuban debt of *400,000,000. It ahould
not, however, be understood that the
American* during the eourae of the
controversy, hare been unmindful of
certain local burdens, like the muni-
cipal obligation* of the Cuban cities,
railroad* and kindred propertlea, local
and permanent
It should not be forgotten, however,
that the American attitude In Cuba I.
held not to be that of an acquiring
power, either of territory or of Ita real
or constructive obligation*. The op-
posing Spaniard* generally contend
that aovereignty Involvea burdens as
well am blessings and that both ahould
pass together from Spain.
Close following this contention the
Spaniard* are pressing for a construe-
tion of the word "relinquish" In the
Cuban article of the protocol.
"We must." they urge, • 'relinquish
sovereignty over Cuba, but to whom?
We have not agreed to relinquish It to
the Cubana—we relinquish it to the
I'nited State*."
ltriefly, the American response to
Spanish diplomacy on construction on
definition was that the word* "relin-
quish" and 'evacuate" are Inter-
changeable and have the name mean-
ing. Thus, three sessions are given
up to patiently meeting Spain's view*
and contention* touching the protocol

Immediately the word was spread
and a dense crowd of miners lined the
station platform, while another crowd
collected at the entrance of the stock-
ade. half a mile north of the station.
D. R Klley. a Chicago Jfc Alton detec-
