Constitutional Convention in Control of
Revolutionary Element.
HAVANA, Sept. 20.-The result of the
election of delegates to the forthcom.
ing constitutional convention is being
freely discussed by the Havana dele
gates and other prominent Cubans.
Tie conclusion reached is that the con-
vention will be controlled by the revo-
lutionary element. Senor Alfredo
'Zayas, Nationalist delegate, said:
"The convention will not allow itself
to be influenced by any representative
Of the United States. It will adopt and
follow an independent policy through
out, in my opinion refusing to decide
as to the relations which shall here.
after exist between Cuba and the United
States. This is a matter that should be
left to special commission.
Mayor Rodriguez expressed the same
opinion and other representative dele
gates in various parts Of the island
adopt the same attitude.
In the main the delegates are capa-
ble men. Most Of them, it is said, are
in favor Of immediate and absolute in.
dependence, without the intervention
Of q protectorate.
