Authoritative Statement From State
Department Decision of the Span
isii Caiiinet That Interest on Cu

is Without Force or lillect.
Ni:w Yoi:k, Sept. 21. A special to tlio
Journal nnil Advortleur from Washinc-
tonsayB: Tho cU-ciaion by tlio Sjianleh
cabinet that the interest on thu Cuban
liomla niiiat bu imid by tlio Cuban p,ov
rrninuiit id iv virtual nnnouncouicut that
rjp.iin will not pay tlio interest, and that
the bonda are valueless. Involved in
th'g :iiitiouncotnciit is thu condition that
there may liu an attempt to uutanlu
conj'resa In a discussion of tbo reHjion
sibllity of thu United Status for the in
terest during thu Amurienn occupation
of tliu island. Thu action of tbo Spanish
cabinet wan referred to thu statu depart
ment, from which thu following uuthoti
tativo statement wad obtained :
"Thu United Status eoxiiufieionorH at
Paris never at any time or in any degree
agreed that tlio United States should he
responsible for Spain's Cuban debt.
There never was any understanding that
any other party should bo responsible
far that debt than Spain herself. The
reason tbo United States did not assume
the debt or any part of It was that the
debt was incurred almost wholly by
Spain to crush thu uevornl insurrections.
Thu United, States mluht have aesumed
toimarantco this debt if thu funds named
had hueu expanded in internal improve
meats in Cuba. This government, as
is wull known, coneonted to pay Spain
20,01)0,000 In the case of tbo Philippine
islands, solely on tho ground that ap
proximately that amount bad been ex
panded by Spain in improvements in
thulelanda.
"The United StateB therefore had ue
tinned no obligations for und has no in
terest whatever in the declaration!) of
the Spnnish eubineton the debts of Spam
or how thoy shall be paid. The present
declaration looks like a repudiation of
the debt, principal and intorost.
Tho statu department argues that when
Spain relinquished her sovereignty in
Cuba alio relieved thut island of debts
contracted to keep her in bondage. This
"nstruotion, it Is hold, la nfllrnied in
the notes which passed botween tho two
disputing commissions when the treaty
's under discussion in Paris.

FALL, 1899.
The hat of the season is here, and here only.
May we show it to you?
We have the sole local agency for the sale
of the Miller Derby, the very highest t) po of a
hat in every particular.
The John II. Stetson Comr.any, of Phila
delphia, makes this royally ood bit of hcadvvcar.
The pleasing powers and general reliability
of the Stetson products have built tho bigiiest
factory for the making of fine hats in the world
and keep twelve hundred employees busy satis
fying the demand that comes from nil over the
world.
5 in. high s l In brim.
The Miller Derby is ti Stetson superlative. It
is issued each Spring and Full and is one
of the most important of the Stetson pro
ductions. The now shape has about it that desired
touch of exclusiveness, that thoroughbred air of
refinement and grace that make it distinctively
a gentleman's hat.
Not only is it a graceful and becoming hat,
but it is a comfortable hat.
It is perfectly balanced and has no useless
weight to make the head ache. Qunlity of felt,
not quantity, is tho thing in huts.
The Miller Derby costs $5.00, and in its
wonderful quality, wear and satisfaction a better
hat-investment is not to bo found.
