THE CONSTITUTIONAL
 CONVENTION IN CUBA
Doubt as to the Result of Its Approaching Work Due to Character of
 the Delegates.

Havana, September 20.-High American officials, while expressing themselves as satisfied with the orderly character of the recent election of delegates, are disap- pointed to find that majority of the dele gates represent the anti-American and rev. olutionary clements.
 Secretary Lacosta, a defeated National candidate in Santiago Province, discussing the general situation today, said
 "Such men as Juan Berto Gomez, Sal vado Cisneros Betancourt, Miguel San gully, Bravo Correro, Miro Argenter and pr. Silva will prove the turbulent factors in the convention. It is evident that rev. olutionary majority has been elected. These men will sway their weaker colleagues to action, which win result in an unsatisfac- tory and threatening convention"
 A wealthy Cuban, member of the Con- servative party, said;
 '"rhe Province of Santiago has elected a rabble. The Cubans approved do not real ize that the United States intervened to rid them of oppression. So if such men as have been chosen to this convention should ever hold the reins of Cuban power the island will feel an oppression equal to that of the Spanish regime"
 In spite of Governor General Wood urgent request that the best men should be chosen, the majority of the delegates are of the class whose prominence causes the keenest anxiety regarding the outcome of the convention to all Cubans of conserva- tive ideas.

NOTHING HAS BEEN GIVEN OUT
Believed That Germany's Proposition Will be Refused-Confrmatio of Suspicion Against Russia
 Situation Unchanged

Berlin, September 20.-The Lokal Anzie- ger Shanghai correspondent cables that the allies today captured the Pei Tang and Lu Tai forts with great losses.
 Washington, September 20.-The status of the Chinese situation at the close of the day, according to high authority, is as follows:
 There are now before the Department of State a number of notes awaiting answers. These include the German note concerning the surrender of Chinese ring leaders; the original Russian proposition for the with drawal of troops from Pekin which has not yet been acted upon as a finality memorandum from the Russian government asking as to the purpose of this govern ment and a request by Prince Ching that instructions be sent to Minister Conger to proceed with peace negotiations at once. In addition there Is verbal inquiry from the French government as to the pro- gramme of the United States. These var ious communications will be answered either late tomorrow or early the follow ing day. As to the contents of the an- wers the authorities are not willing to give any positive intimation, though the belief Is almost general that the respose to the German note will amount to a de- clination to make the surrender of the of- lending Chinese a condition precedent to negotiations of any kind.

MINISTER wU PUZZLED
Has Not Received Edict Appointing
 New Viceroys

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Minister Wu has not received the edict reported from Shanghai appointing the Viceroys of Nan kin and Wu Chang as part of the Chinese peace commission. But in view of the dis patch from these Viveroys today the Min ister has little doubt that they will serve on the commission. He says, however, that they will be unable to leave their present posts and go to Pekin, as their Viceroyal- ties are of too much importance to permit of their departure. They will be consulted by telegraph, and their concurrence will be secured in all settlements and their sig natures given to the final peace agreement. MT. Wu says he is at a loss to account for the published report that his colleague, the Chinese minister at London, denies that Yung Lu has been appointed with u Hung Chang and Prince Ching as peace envoy. MT. Wu says there can be no doubt about the matter, as he has received the imperial ediot appointing Yung Lu.
