SURPRISE TO CUBANS.
RepOrt Tint President Mckinley
Would Ignore Commission.

A special cabegram to the New York
Herald from Havana last night says:
Washington cablegram printed here today
says it can be stated on unquestionable
authority that President Mckinley has de-
cided not to negotiate with the commits
sion from the constitutional convention on
any basis outside the Plat amendment
also that such a commission cannot expect
to gain anything definite as the result of
a visit to Washington.
This message had the effect of suspend
ing the proposed action in appointing a
commission at the session today, because
it was argued that an Utimatum can DE
answered here as well as in Washington.
The debate will continue tomorrow.
prominent member of the convention says
that twenty-seven members of the thirty
one are unalterably opposed to the Platt
amendment.
The order for municipal elections which
Gen. Wood promulgated week ago ana
twice modified later meets strong oppo-
sition from La Lucia, which thus far
mas been a partisan of the administration
and the Plat amendment. Its opposition
to the order is based on the claim OF unfair
discrimination against the national party,
of which La Lucha is an organ.
La Patria, an influential paper, the or
gan of the convention, says: CUBA ana
the United States would be gamers by
change I'm the military governor or the
island. who is responsible for the present
lack of harmony between the two nations
Without passion or exaggeration II may be
said that the chief obstacle to the har-
monious adjustment Of differences Is Wood
So long as he be military governor of Cuba
all the distrust and suspicion the people
entertain respecting the intentions and
purposes Of the American government are
amply corroborated and justified"
The Associated Press correspondent at
Havana last night sent the following dis
patch: In the constitutional convention to-
day Senior Juan Gualberto Gomez and Gen.
Sanguily made lond and impassioned
speeches. the former against the Plat
amendment and the latter In its favor.
Senior Gomez said in substance that the
black blood in his veins made him opposed
to the Americans. intimating that their
treatment OF his race stamped them as I'M
friendly to the negro Il would rather be
under the sovereignty of SPAIN" he ex-
claimed, than under that OF the United
States. The Platt amendment endaneers
the independence of Cuba. 1t means the
predominance of American influence 1
would either die of grief or leave the coun-
try should it be accepted"
Gen. Sanguily declared that the amend
ment in no way endangered the independ-
ence of Cuba. but really provided guaran-
tees that it would be maintained.

Bases Her Petition On the Alteration
That She Was sa adopt
ed Daughter.

dispatch from Hartford Conn. SAYS
that an action was begun in the United
States circuit court there Yesterday by
Mrs. Helen Potts Hall OF New York for
the recovery of her alleged share in the
millions of the late George +. Gilman OF
bridgeport. Mrs. Hall declares that she is
the adopted daughter of Mr.. Gilman and
brings her action through her next friend
her brother, Frank C. Potts. against the
Bridgeport Trust Company as adminiStra-
tor of the Gilman estate aud against Geo.
w. Smith Of Bridgeport as receiver
The bin of complaint. which contains
seventeen counts. declares that Mr.. Gil
man was engaged in the tea business i'm
ccpartnership with George n. Hart ford.
and that they had about 2o stores
in the United States. This part OF the
complaint is interesting because II has
been understood that the Bridgeport Trust
Company as administrator takes the POI
sition that Mr.. Hartford was manager
only and not 4 part owner i'm the tea bust
ness
After estimating the value OF the es-
tate at mere than Sl.3pnoDo. the complaint
says the property came into Mrs Halls
possession at the time of Giman's death.
and there remained until she was for.ihly
ousted by the defendants. For several
years prior to Mr.. Gilmans death con-
tinues the complainant. he. having con
Hall. adopted her as his daughter. and
she became a member Of his household.
and resided there until his death. manaI-
ing the household and rendering to him
the obedience of a natural daughter.
On or about November I, 1900, il is al
legged, Mr.. Gilman entered into an agree
ment with Mrs Hall that If she would
continue to live with him as a daugh-
ter until his death she would then he en-
titled to all his property, both real and
personal, as fully and to the same eN-
tent if she We're his natural daughter
The complainant claims that she has full
filed her part OF the agreement She
states further that none of the relatives
lived on intimate terms with Gilman. but
on the contrary they had for many years
been estranged from him, and some were
make a will and died intestate.
The complainant asks for writ OF in
junction perpetually enJoining the Bridge
port Trust Company, administrator Of
the estate from interfering with the bust
ness conducted by the Great American Tea
Company; that the Bridgeport Trust Com
pany deliver to the complainant such
sets as remain in its hands. in like man
ner as il she were the sole heir and next
of kin of the deceased. A preliminary in
junction is also asked for restraining the
company from further interference with
the tea companies during the pending Of
this action. A writ of subpoena directed
to the trust company commanding II To
appear in court and answer to the com
plant is likewise asked for.
The complainant further asks that Geo.
w Smith, the receiver, who claims 10
have an interest I'm the estate, be en1oined
from maintaining the same. The writ OF
subpoena is made returnable to the circuit
court the first Monday In May.

THE SOUTHERN NEGRO
NATIONAL AID FOR EDUCATION
WANTED.
Major X. X. Wright Gives His Views
Exercise of Elective Franchise.

The condition OF the colored people in the
south was the subject for discussion before
the industrial commission yesterday after
noon. Major r. r. Wright. a colored man
who served in the Spanish war. and is pres
ident OF the industrial college located near
Savannah. Ga, appeared and testified con-
corning the needs of his people. The one
thing he advocated was educational assist
ance a means of helping the colored
people to help themselves. He said the
state of Georgia deyotes one-third of its
educational fund to the colored schools. and
could not be expected to do more. But
that not enough, and Major Wright
advocated national aid for southern schools
and also separate agricultural experiment
stations in the south for the special assist
ance of colored farmers.
The CoIOred People Advancing.
Despite the natural difficulties Mr..
Wright contended that the colored people
are advancing, and he asserted that the
charge that the colored man is burden TO
his white neighbor is not true. He showed
that there are now over million acres of
farm land owned by negroes in Georgia
and said that. including this land. the ne
groeS of the state pay taxes upon $4,000
600 worth of property. He stated that as
q rule the successful negroes were not the
If the government had given the colored
men a mule and forty acres of land instead
of comforting the ballot upon them it would
have been for the benefit of all.
The Ballot and the COIored Man.
Asked for his opinion concerning the eff
feet of the Acknowledgement Of the negro
upon his future prospects Mr.. Wright re-
piled that individually he thought it a mis-
take to take the ballot from any one at
this late day, but he added that he did not
believe that the ballot had been of any es-
pecial benefit to the colored man
In reply to Mr.. Kennedy Mr. Wright said
that the requirement of an educational
qualification for voting would be stimu-
luS to secure this qualification. VERY few
colored people In the SOUTH he said take
any interest in politics, and. except in the
cities. they have come to the conclusion
that they have no business with politics.
Need of school Facilities.
An attempt is made to have the schools
in Georgia open during five months in the
year, he said, but they do not actually sue
coed in having them more than three
months. In the entire state of Georgia,
with 1871 counties, he said, there may be
Schools are conducted in churches and in
places that can be put up readily, such as
log shanties. He was satisfied that young
colored men Of the south who have been
educated work harder than the uneducated

that it should be holy and wiihou, blem-
ish She must be holy in her doctrine.
and lead her members to holiness.
the church OF Christ must be catholic
or universal, for Christ said Go forth,
teach We all nations; teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever | have
commanded you. and behold | am with
you all days, even to the consumation Of
the world. This command OF Christ
proves that the church OF Christ was to
spread throughout the whole world. 1t
was to teach all truth and to last through
out all time. Its catholicity therefore is
threefold catholicity of extensiOn-cathol-
icity of doctrine, catholicity of duration.
The true church of Christ must moreover
be apostolic. She must have descended
uninterruptedly and continuously from
the days of the apostles down to the
present day. Every bishop and priest
must be able to trace back his geneaology
to the apostles and in addition to this
there must be communion with the GEN.

Father Mulhall then said having es-
tablished a criterion by which we may
know the true church. we might take up
one by one all the denominations calling
themselves Christians and apply the cri-
terion, but as time is too short tonight,
let us apply it to that church which num-
bers in her fold over $50. ooo, 600 souls

Mulhall then applied, one by one, the
four marks of the true church of Christ
to the Roman Catholic Church, proving
she posse ed these four marks, and then
said "Since truth is one, and Christ
has established but one church, no other
church can claim these four marks. and
therefore, no church but the Roman
Catholic Church is the true church of
Christ, and as Chris; has established His
church for the salvation of all-all are
bound to enter that church.
