TAKES A RECESS,
Adjourns to Tuesday, When Sus-
gestions as to Constitution
Will Be Handed In.
CLAIMS THE ISLE OF PINES.
Its Retention by the United States.
a Havana Paper Says,
Would Be Brutal
Aggression.

Havana. Nov 2s-At to-day's session Of
the Cuban Constitutional Convention in the
Marti Theater Senor Llorente attempted to
have the convention express an opinion -
to the form of constitution to be adopted.
whether federal of unitary.
He was speaking on the motion Of senoe
Quesada to adjourn until next Tuesday,
when the first eight days OF the permanent
organization will have expired. and when
delegates will be at liberty to hand in sus-
gestions as to the constitution.
Senor Quesada had argued that the con-
vention ought to adjourn. because not to do
so would be only wasting time in useless
discussion, but Senior LIorente contended
that the convention should meet daily.
There are many things to be discussed"
he said land we could not be earning our
salaries If we did not meet"
After an uninteresting debate Of two
hours the motion of Senior de Quesada was
carried.
Senior Gualberto Gomez was granted the
special privilege of reading & motion IN
answer TO General Woods address to the
convention. 1t proved TO be extensive, but
treated the question mildly. intimating that
1t was not necessary for General Wood to
tell the convention not to interfere with the
present government. because the delegates
had already made up their minds that this
was no part of their business.
The vote on the motion to discuss General
Woods address was a tie, and. under the
rules. the resolution will be again submit
ted to the convention next Tuesday.
With reference to the suggestion that tho
United States will claim the Isle Of Pines,
the Discussion says:
"It is either canard or fee1er. II the
latter, then 1t is unworthy Of the United
States: to attempt such rapacious robbery
would be brutal aggression. If Cuba is to he
free. 50 ought the Isle of Pines to be. Cuba
should be regarded as a whole. The Isle
of Pines has always been considered part
of Cuba. and has been under the govern
ment of the Province of Havana. The peo-
pie there were allowed to vote at the elec-
ton. and the Spaniards there had the privi-
