NISH-LUBAN BONDS The burden of the opposition in Congress to the President’s policy of non-recognition of the Cuban iosur- gents was the assertion that thi country would become liable for 400,000,000 of Spanish bonds to the payment of which the Spanish government pledged the revenues of Cuba, All the great international lawyers like ex-Attorney General Wayne MacVeagh, ex-Senator munds, ex-Secretary of State Foster and the Hon. John A, Kassop, bave agreed that there is not the slightest ground for assuming that the United States would incur any financial re- sponsibility to Spain's creditors by intervention. Gen. Foster gave his opinion as follows: “These bonds represent mainly the debt which the Spanish government has incurred in its efforts to put down the present and former imsurrections Bonds for ®500,000,000 to Be le sted and Certificates of In- | debtedness, % 100,000,000, Washington, April 22.—'The re-! publican m sof the ways and means committee expect to complete the war-revenue measure and have it) ready for submission to the full com-| mittee today or tomorrow at ti latest.
