Discussion of Locations.

Chairman Allen, in answer to cues
tons asked by President Dole. said
that the Beach road land. mentioned
In the report, could accommodate 1000
people. The pa acres Of land offered
by Mr.. Richards would accommodate
300 or 400 people. and the KapioIani
premises already has accommodations
for fifty or sixty persons. with land
available for $50 more.
President Dole thought the Beach
land would be very convenient 10 the
city, but in case II was used no trees
should be cut down. The buildings
which may be erected, and the loca-
lions, said the President, would he
subject 10 the Board OF Health's an
proval, but so far as possible. he
thought, no further burden should be-
placed upon the Board. This was also
the opinion OF Attorney General Coon
er, who said the Board of Health was
now taxed to It's limit.
The President urged that the loca-
ions should be decided upon without
delay and the necessary buildings
erected, as a number Of persons were
ABOUT ready to be discharged from the
detention camp.

The courtroom was packed to its Utmost
capacity There were at the least csti-
mate 100 ladies present. A number OF
republicans were present, and nearly all
OF them gave the speaker 4 patient and
attentive hearing.
The speaker was at his best, and at the
outset he reviewed the situation of two
years ago, when he was nominated by the
Democrats and the case seemed almost
hopeless, but he raised the Democratic
banner and carried it proudly to victory.
Then in the contest he showed how at the
hands of a republican committee he won.
lie condemned the policy of the present
with regard TO the warand
our foreign possessions. lie spoke of the
evils that would result from Imperialism.
he spoke in the plaiuest terms of the
trusts notwithstanding the fact that Mark
Hanna does not believe there is a trust in
the United States.
Mr. Rhea told your correspondent that
he has good crowds wherever he speaks,
and that he has every assurance of sue.

The Election in Cuba.

1.-The election Of delegates to the
Cuban Constitutional Convention, "
saws the Baltimore Sun, resulted IN
the triumph of the Nationalist or
Revolutionists, who secured large
majority of the thirty-one delegates,
who will compose the convention.
The Nationalist party includes
most Of the insurgent soldiers and
others who were actively identified
with the instruction against Spanish
authority.
The result of the election indicates
an overwhelming sentiment against
annexation, although only small
vote was polled. Most Of the Span
iards in Cuba have registered as
Spanish subjects and took no part in
the election of delegates. In the
Province of Santiago, the color line
seems to have been drawn, and as the
blacks are over helmingly in the
majority they won an easy victory.
The convention will frame constl-
tuition for Cuba, and, Judging from
the political complexion Of the ma
lority of the delegates, it will be an
outspoken body, with no leanings to-
ward the absorption Of the island by
the United States. Most Of the
Cubans who were identified with the
revolutionary movement against
Spain are bitterly opposed to annex
alton by the United States, and 1t
they are not given independence they
will make trouble for those who
undertake to thwart their aspirations.
