Political Activity In Cuba.

With the near approach of the Cuban
Constitutional convention the renewed po-
litical activity is bringing rapidly to the
front the revolutionary elements which
promise to make the initial steps of the is
land in self government task of the great
est difficulty. Gen Maxine Gomez, the
veteran leader of the revolutionary forces,
has just issued an open letter, in which he
urges his cOuntrymen 10 elect only revolt
uonists to the convention. Gen. Wood is
wisely urging the people to put their fac
tional prejudices aside and elect the most
competent men to the convention, without
regard to party ties, while Gen. Gomez comes
out in an intlAmatory appeal, counseling
the Cubans to disregard wisdom, talents
and knowledge, but to elect none as dele
gates except members of the radical and
hot headed revolutionary faction. He ad-
vises and urges Cubans to exclude all OH
ers, if need be, by force, and excitedly calls
upon Cubans to maintain his program of
reserving Cuba for the revolutionists,
"even at the cost of life."
Senior Cisneros, at the head of the Cuban
delegation, presented an appeal to the
President in Washington on Saturday,
which declared that the time has come for
intervention TO cease, and urged the Unit
ed States "to leave the Cubans to enjoy
their sovereignty and absolute independ-
eDce by Withdrawing from Cuba all Amer
lean troops"

No More Troops to China.

American Soldiers Now at Sea will go
to ManIls---Firss, Fighting and Dis
sensIOns In PekIn.
The important development in the Chi
nese situation yesterday was the decision
OF the government not TO send any more
troops to China. All the troops now at
sea, amounting to about 1000, together
with those under orders for service in the
far East, which have not sailed, amount
ing TO 5000 more, will be sent to Manila.
Fires, fighting and disseusion are appar-
emily following in the wake of the relief of
Pekin. The London Daily Mail says
great fire was raging in the imperial city
Friday. The Russian commander had de
clined to accept the decision of the other
generals not to violate the imperial pre-
ciucts, and street fighting was going on.
Gen. Chatfee, so it is asserted, maintained
that the Chinese had been adequately pun
ished already, and that it would be unwise
TO take the imperial palace. This explains
the withdrawal of the Americans after
preaching three gates. The Russian gener-
al, however, maintained that his govern
ment had declared war against China, and
that, therefore, there was no reason to pre-
vent his carrying hostilities into the sac
red precincts
