DISCUSSED CUBAN AFFAIRS.
General Lee HIS asc6hfcrence with
the President.

General Lee Has asCohfcrence With
the PRECEDENT.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,r commander Of one
OF the military divisions In Cuba, who ar
rived in this country several days ago to
enjoy vacation, was q caller at the
White House yesterdays General Lee was
closeted with the President for soma
time
General Lee does not, hazard any guess
as to what the Cuban constitutional CON-
vention will do when it meets in Havana
next month. He points, however, to the
fact that one wing Of the Cuban party Is
talking of a resolution demanding the
withdrawal of all American troops from
the island.
1t is understood that the President is
looking forward to the work Of the con-
vention with keen interest. He feels that 1t
is to be one Of the most decisive events in
the history Of the island. The action OF
the delegates regarding the relations OF
Cuba and the United States is considered
of particular Importance.
The proclamation calling the conven-
ton together, issued by the President
through the medium of General Wood,
contained the significant clause that the
delegates should be chosen Ito frame
and adopt constitution for the people
Of Cuba, and as part thereof to pro-
vide for and agree with the Government
of the United States upon the relations
to exist between that Government and
the Government Of Cuba" Mr.. McKin-
ley has never given any explanation OF
what the clause means. The Cubans
themselves, according to recent reports
from the island, are placing various
constructions upon It., but they are uni
ted in opposing any action by the con-
venticn that would incorporate in the
constitution a formal recognition of
American relationship.
The delegates assert that they should be
perfectly free to frame a constitution for
Cuba and Cuba alone, without regard to the
interests Of America or any other country.
They are particularly opposed to the sug-
gestion that Cuba should have internal au-
tonomy while America should control the
treaty-making power Of the island.
Although the President has not given
any indication Of what he means by PRO
viding and agreeing upon the relations" to
exist between the Government OF the
United States and Cuba, yet 1t is believed
that he would favor the appointment Of a
delegation by the convention to confer with
the American Government and ask its adj
vice on the framing Of the new constitu-
tion. But in view Of the animosity among
the Cubans. 1t Is believed that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has little hope that such action will
be taken. II it be not. and If the conven-
ton agree on a constitution unsatisfactory
to Mr.. Mckinley, the latter is expected to
nullify the work Of the convention by re-
fusing to put the constitution in force

BALLOTS THROWN OUT.
Changes in Representation At a

Changes in Representation at the
Cuban Constitutional Convention
HAVANA. Oct. 19.-The board Of can,
vassers Of the province OF Havana have
thrown out large number Of ballots cast
at the recent election Of delegates to the
constitutional convention. on the ground Of
irregularity. This will result in the de-
feat Of Senores Pierra and Esteban. and
the substitution of Senores l-a!as and
Tamayo, in their stead. unless the con-
vention negatives the action Of the board.
It Is claimed that should the convention
attempt to examine all the ballots thrown
out in Havana province alone, several
weeks would be occupied in the task. II
the same plan was adopted in regard to
the other provinces II would be long
time before the actual membership of the
convention would be settled.
The Nationals have split into two fac
lions. one headed by Mayor Rodriguez and
the other by Senior Gener. Secretary Of
Justice. The opponents of Senior Gener
claim that he desires to become mayor. and
as necessary step to obtain that ONCE is
seeking to secure the presidency of the
National party. At present the strength Of
the factions is about equal. The "Patria"
accuses Senior Gener of having granted a
months vacation to Correctional Judge
Perez, Secretary OF the National party, In
order that he may work in Gener's inter-
ests. Senior Perez, as a Judge. could take
no part in politics unless on leave OF alb

The financial outlay up to the end of
August had been S54 lakhs of rupees. or

rulers had behaved admirably. The re-

ity. The Viceroy added that the outlook
