which practically renders him supreme
ut the assembly's sessions His selec-
ton to preside over the proceedings Is

ity Of the delegates. The principal

One proposition to come up for discus.
sion Is that the army should remain in
armed force for the purpose of policing
and garrisoning the island from the
beginning of next year, when the
United States troops are expected
to leave. The assembly will appoint
committee to wait upon President

will propose the trial by court-martial
Of all the officers in the Cuban ermy
who have permitted their men to be

the assembly intends to show the
world that 1t considers the Americans
merely temporary visitors, who will
evacuate the island after the Span
