SILVER REPuBLrcANs.
delegates Have Hard Time Agreeing
on a Platform.

KANSAS CITY. July 6,-The silver
Republicans, In national convention
spent all OF today in waiting for the
report OF the committee on resolutions,
The main point OF difference lay In
the attitude OF the party on expansion
and on this point both the subcommlt-
tee and the full committee were divid-
ed, practically ON geographical lines,
the members from the East favor
ms the condemnation OF Imperialism.
while most OF the members from the
Western states opposed this course.
The plank denounclng imperialism was
finally adopted, and in this shape the
platform win be presented to the con-
vention tomorrow. Unless the unox-
pected happens, the convention will
reach final adjournment tomorrow ar
ternoon.
When the Silver Republican national
convention was called to order by Tenn
porary Chairman Teller this morning.
the subcommittee appointed at the
meeting OF the committee on resolu-
lions last night to draw up a plat
form, was stil far from an agreement.
The subcommittee held another ses-
sion this morning in an eudeavor TO
decide on the disputed question OF Inn
perialism. The insertion Of an anti
imperialist plank was strongly opposed
by Western members OF the subcom-
mittee. many OF whom are avowed ex-
pansionists, and who savor the Ignor-
ing Of the issue altogether. Up to the
time IF convention convenlng. how
ever. this point had not been decided.
and it was stated that the platform
probably would not be completed until
late this afternoon.
The delegates struggled into the au-
ditorium hall very slowly this morning.
and when Chairman Teller called the
convention to order, at 1850 a. M. not
more than half the delegates were pres
ent Chairman Teller was extremely
hoarse, as a result OF his long speech
yesterday, and yielded the chair to
Frank Ransom, OF Nebraska.
Immediately after conveniug the re-
port Of the committee on credentials
was called for. but II was not ready.
and recess Vas taken until It's report
was completed.
The California delegation came to
the auditorium today with the deter
mination to force the nominations Of
Bryan and Towne. the first thing af-
ter permanent organization. Delegates
insisted that the Silver Republicans
had left the old party as a matter OF
principle. and as Bryan and Towne
represented the majority Of the Silver
Republicans. there was no necessity to
delay proceedings by waiting on the
platform.

HAVANA. July Sat the first meet
ing OF the municipality OF Havana

steps be taken to approach each munl-

payment Of soldiers OF the Cuban army.

ors. Senor Gener. however. opposed a
