Tl e hall was filled with peo ple, but there was no demonstra tion around the place of justice the gates of which were closed,’ 5,8 a matter of precaution, only ticket holders being admitted. The few spectatois about the palate were kept moving by the police, and inside the building nuuciptd guards were stationed iu all the corridors leading to the courtroom. M.

She was rep- Teiented by Maitre Monard. Tue case was called imme dmtely after the opening of the court.

SPANIARDS YIELD Gobs Abandon The Effort To Baddk The Cuban Debt UPON UNITED STATES They Relinquish Sovorelqnf Over th© Island. ■ < Par a, Oct. 28.—Tha Spanish * peace o<_ mmissioner© have acoept t »d the negative view of the United , Stab© oommisai mers towards the I proposed assumption by th© Uni* ted States of the Cuban debt. The American commissioners have firmly but courteously de caned to assume far ths United states the entire or joiut rssponsi- * bility for the Spanish financial condition, and the Spanish com - missioiiers have finally abandoned the effort and have agreed that > the Cuban article of the protocol shall, without condition, have a - place iu the ultimate treaty of , peace. It was not until Monday that they became absolutely convinced that the Americans had from lb© ♦ outset of their refusal to acc©pt the Cuban debt meant exactly vhat they said. In spite of the fact that th© Spanish commissioners had, as a background of their eft©rts, doubts • of such euc ing, their hope of s© i doing has been so keen and their i contention has Lean so vigorously , prosecuted that the final convr©- . lion of their inability to win their point brought to the Spaniard -ticla a shock and depression that, consistently with these dispatches at the time, there were grave doubts as to the coutinuance of the negotiations. Ln support ©f these stat»meats is the fact that Senor Montero Rios after Monday's session and on Tuesday last would have resign'd the presidency of the Spanish ptaee commission had bo not be lieved that his to doing may have grievously shaken, even if it nad not unseated B©nor Sagasta’sgav ernment. From this ©tandpoiut, if hr n© other reason, Senor Monters Rios retained hia position, and at yes terday’s session, acting order the conviction arrived at on Monday, the Spaniards announced that they would forego farther argu ment on the Cub*n debt and agreed that practically in the terms and absolutely in the spirit of the protocol the article abeut Cuba should go forward into th© final l reaty. , Thus Spaio agre©s to reliaquish soversignV over and claim to Cu ba without either terms or condi tions.
