Judge Massie finished taking testi- mony on June 30. The commission was to investigate 542 claims made against Spain after the close of the Spanish-American War which were assumed by the United States. The total amounted to $61,000,000.

Thirty cases are still undecided and 442 were thrown out for various rea- sons. When the thirty cases are passed on by the commission a report will be made to Congress and an appropriation made from the Treasury to settle the accounts.
