FIRE EATING CUBAN CREATES
SENSATION.
W|THHoLDS HIS SIGNATURE
Refuses to Sign Constitution and
Hints at War with
America.

Havana, Feb. 2l-The Cuban con
stitutional draft first submitted by the
central committee to the general con-
vention at the session of January 81,
was signed today.
One copy was sent to Governor Gen.
eral Wood and the other placed among
the records of the convention.
The president and ice-president
signed first and the delegates followed
in the order of their seats OH the floor
Of the convention, the two secretaries
signing it last.
Senor Cisneros created a sensation
by refusing to sign. He said: Scuba
is now independent and can see no
reason for sending this constitution to
the United States for acceptance. The
United States government has no right
to pass on it, for it is distinctly Gu
ban document and was drawn up by
this convention, which has assumed
the responsibility Of establishing re-
public.
Several delegates crowded around
him and endeavored to dissuade him
from his course, but he was immova-
BILE.
AS the delegates retired Senor
Tamayo remarked "We are all
Cubans, senor." And Senor Cisneros
replied: eyes, when the time comes
to fight the Americans, we will fight
them together Then he turned
toward the press table, and shaking his
fist at the American newsnaner men
said: Americans are like monkey.
When monkey closes its paw on a
thing it never wants to let co.
Subsequently he said he would sign
the copy of the constitution that had
been filed with the recorder of the
convention, but would wait until the
other had been sent to Washington in
order to avoid any possibility of his
name being attached to that also.

WHEAT EXPORTS SHOW GAINS.

New York July 2s-R c. Dun &
Co s weekly review of trade says:
Anxiety regarding unfavorab1e pos
sibilities in the future, rather than any
actual present misfortune, depressed
securities and caused cancellation of
some orders for merchandise by IVES
tern dealers Retail distribution of
goods will not be curtailed by the la
Dor controversy unless it is of long
duration the men have saved money
during the recent period of full en-
ployment at high wages Similarly,
in some agricultural districts, where
there is fear that little corn will be
harvested. preceding bumper crops at
good prices have put farmers in such
prosperous condition that their pur-
chases will not fall off materially,
while the greatest crop of wheat on re-
cord has not brought a return to the
low prices of previous heavy yields
Beyond advancing prices of steel
sheets and depressing the market for
tin, quotations have not been ffected
by the strike Of the Ama1ganated AS
ISOLATION An early settlement is con-
fidently expected, and there is much
relief over the general collapse of the
machinists' strike. In anthracite coal
regions work has also been interrupted,
but the recent exceptionally heavy out
put assures abundant stocks Tor some
time.
In woo1ens the tone is distinctly firm.
In cotton goods the situation is I'M
changed.
Stability of prices seems assured in
the footwear industry The firm tone
is sustained by the steadiness of Ieath-
er, and buyers are not seeking conces-
sions Factories are running full time.
Limited supplies of leather make the
market very firm. Hides are fairly
active and steady.
Ca1mer counsel prevailed in the grain
markets, exaggerated dispatches were
discounted and variations in quota tons
were less extensive. After a severe
break from the best price last Friday
wheat steadily advanced. the feel
ing became general that foreign re-
qDirements would bring d new record
for exports, possibly exceeding $50,
OOO, 900 bushels. Atlantic exports show
a large gain over last years figures for
the week amounting to 3, O62, IT'S bush
els, against /, SAL, SCI a year ago. After
some reaction corn recovered most of
the loss.

During the years we have worked for

only the fairest treatment at their
hands, our wages have been entirely
satisfactory and we ask that we be

RE.
Guthrie, July 22.-One of the pro-
blems arising out of the change in the
manner of opening lands to settlement
inaugurated in the Kiovva country is
that in relation to ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
claims Some alleged authorities have
given out statements about the matter
that were not clear, and some newspa-
pers and attorneys have announced the
following opinion:
IF you draw a claim yon will have
to file on it, and ''if you file on a claim
you have to live on it,
The facts are that, while you cannot
sell your chance the preference right
to file acquired by being lucky in the
draw, after you have drawn and fled
on a claim, you can sell your relinquish-
ment in the same manner that such
transfers have always been made, ones
equity in the land in no way varying,
after he has filed, from that obtained
in other openings.
