Gov. McSweeney said: These gentle

McLaurin said he would withdraw his
resignation if it was the Governors de-
sire, because he knew that NcSweeney
was actuated by patriotic motives and he
would help him shield the people from
strife and bitterness. Senator Tillman
said: Unless l am mistaken, the Gov
ernor's function in such cases is simply
TO notify the President Of the Senate on
one hand and the State Legislature on
the other that vacancy exists. He can
advise withdrawal Of designations, but

Interpretation. All these matters have
been discussed and much stress was laid
on the preciseness with which the Cuban
Interpretation is formulated.
The final article in the appendix is q
pledge that the republic of Cuba will pro
pose a reciprocity treaty. Commercial
interests are highly gratiied that this
pledge is Incorporated into the accept
ance of the Platt amendment
Result Never in Doubt.
With the exception Of few American
and Cuban newspaper men and half 8
dozen politicians, nobody but the dele
gates were present to hear the result an
nounced. 1t is considered by some that
the voting was practically arranged be-
forehand, and that if there had been any
doubt as to the result more Of the dele
gates would have voted in favor of the re-
port.
The radicals made a hard fight at the
last. and Portuondo Gomez and Tamayo
bitterly arraigned the conservatives.
Tamayo was particularly vindictive, and
declared that everybody who voted in ia
vor of the Platt amendment was a traitor
to his country. The convention compell-
ed him to retract this statement. On sew
eral occasions personal encounters seem
ed imminent.
Gomez spoke for more than an hour.

denouncing as perjurers all who favored
the Platt amendment, on the ground that
they had sworn to draw up constitution
for an Independent republic. Several con-
servatives rose and asked Gomez to re-
tract, but he absolutely refused.

the majority report: Gomez. Gener, Por-
tuondo, Lacret, Manduley. Cisneros, Fer

CUBA YIELDS AT LAST
VOTES TO ACCEPT THE PlAT1
AMENDMENT.
Agrees that Its Provisions Shall Be
incorporated Into the Island Corsti-
tutiOn-Radicals Make Bitter Protest

BY narrow majority of one vote the
Cuban constitutional convention in Ha-
vana agreed To adopt the majority re-
port of the committee ON relations, which
recommends the acceptance of the Platl
amendment. The members of the Cuban
convention have evidently come to the
conclusion that if they cannot get all
they want it will be very wise to- take
what they can get.
With this action the effort toward 4
final settlement of the negotiations and
the withdrawal of American troops is
brought much nearer TO fruition. Some
thing remains to be done in the way OF
examining the Cuban constitution with a
view to making sure that its adoption
will not involve the United States i'll
some Of the financial troubles with which
the young republic may seek to saddle
itself. Apart from that and the ADJUST
ment of possible details there 10 appar-
emily little to be done. 1t may be assum-
ed that the time is not far distant when
the last American soldier will have de-
parted from Cuban soil and the Cubans
will be left to their own devices. 1t rests
with Cuba whether it shall make itself
one Of the worlds great little republics.
holding such esteem as is universally
paid to Switzerland, say, or will allow
internal dissensions to become q blight
upon its national existence.
The report adopted is put in the form
of an appendix to the constitution. 1t
begins by qrsDting the joint resolution Of
Congress relating to the independence of
CUBA and the first article Of the treaty
of Paris. gives the details Of the sending
OF the Platt amendment TO the conven-
tion. and quotes the amendment itself.
Reference is made to the visit of the
Cuban commission to the United States
and the explanation of the meaning of
the clauses of the Platt amendment by
Secretary Root.
The report also quotes the letter from
Gov. Wood, transmitting the letter from
the Secretary Of War on the same sub
ject. as having the value of an official
document. and then states in very clear
terms article by article the conyentiOn's a

Davenport from Atlantic, Iowa, and the
daughter has been attending boarding

a letter demanding that she procure from
her father sum Of money. giving direc-

could get it. The penalty Of failure was
to be an attack upon her married sister.

Of course no response was made to 1t.
A few nights ago, as she was walking
near her home. a man stepped from a
place Of concealment near the walk and
made a fresh demand that she procure
the money and meet him at place he
appointed. The police were notified. The
girl kept her tryst. but the bushes were
so full Of citizens and policemen that the
robber probably took warning and fed.

A NEW SHIP CANAL.
Proposal to Connect New York with
Abermarle Sound.

Proposal to Connect New York with.
Aibermarle Sound.
An earnest effort is now being made for
the construction Of a new inland water
way in this country. The proposed route
would run from Albemarle sound to
Chesapeake bay, thence, following the
line Of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal, to the Delaware river. The lat
ter stream would be connected with the
Raritan river, which enters Raritan bay
to the west of the lower harbor of New
York. This waterway would be a useful
artery for the vast seaboard commerce,
and big ships would constantly pass
through in safety without fear of sudden
storm. New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore would be brought into closer
community in their commerce, and it
would rebound to the benefit of all. In
times of national danger it would be of
the greatest Importance. Even were the
whole seaboard blockaded commerce
would continue to float through the canal
without interruption.
A bill calling for the appropriation of
$4,000 for securing an estimate of the
cost of the national ownership of the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal. as a
link in the proposed waterway. was be-
fore the last Congress and was favorably
regarded by both houses. But it shared
the fate of the river and harbor bill.
which Senator Carter of Montana talked
to death. The same measure will come
before the next national Legislature and
its friends claim that there is no aues-
tion as to its passage.
The new waterway is TO have a depth
of thirty feet and will be able to accom-
modate the largest vessels in our navy.
The proposed link connecting the Della
ware river with the Raritan river has
already been surveyed, and from time to
time there have been efforts to push it
to completion. The connecting link at the
southern end would probably be by way
of the present Dismal Swamp canal. from
which a waterway might be secured from
the Chesapeake to Albemarlc sound in
North Carolina.
