The Situation in Cuba Fast Ap=
 preaching the Danger Point.
Troops May Be Necessary to Dissolve the Constitutional Convention if Its Mem
 bers Refuse to Obey the President.

Havana, June S.-That the Wash ington administration is about to face a very serious situation here, as a re- suit of the insistence that Cuba ac- cept the Platt amendment without bubble or question, or else go with out liberty, is the feeling among the we'll informed residents of the island who know the temper of the Cuban people. To say that the radical ele- ment, which through it's delegates con- trols the constitutional convention and in the island far outnumbers the conservatives, is angered at what 1t regards the stubborn selfishness' and bad faith of the United States. is putting it mildly. Some of the radi- cal delegates for the resolutions pass ed last week to which were attached the explanations of Secretary Root, believing tha section would be ac- President Mckinley has nettled them sorely and led several to believe they will never again take part in any con- ciliatory movement
 Without their votes favorable action on the Platt amendment canot be had. In their anger they argue that the United States is acting in cruel disregard of the feelings of the Cub ans, who will be degraded if they go farther. They have gone so far as to bend the knee, they say, at much saefifeee of pride, but they will not groyel in the earth. The United. States. if it sincerely wanted to get the con sessions demanded by the Platt amendment without humiliating the Cubans, they argue further, could have accepted the resolutions passed last week and thus by creating a feeling of mutual concord could have .subse- quently secured any action at Havana within reason. The result of this latest ultimatum from Washington has been to stir the radicals and !ond color to the stories that they tell their i@nor ant following of the s0.callea dgmi= neering attitude of the Americans and the following among these people is fast approaching the danger point

WHIPPED INTO LINE. THAT'S WHAT THE TRUSTS ARE TO DO FOR REPUBLICANS. Openly Threatening Vengeance on Congressman Babcock and His
 Followers.

Washington, June S.-There are in- dications that bitter factional con- test will occur within the ranks of the Republican party at the beginning of the next congress. The American Protective Tariff league, the organi- aztion of the protected interests of the Republican representatives in con- gress who have indorsed the move ment advocated by Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin, to take the duty off articles manufactured by the billion-dollar steel trust The official organ of the league has attacked MT. Babcock vigorously, and one of the officers of the league, who is in Wash ington,, has stated that the league pro- posed to discipline every representa- tive who either followed Mr. Babcock or refuse to help oust him. The league is to attempt to prevent Mr. Babcock's -reappointment on the ways and means committee and try to keep him off the Republican congressional committee.
 Other members of the ways and means committee are also said to be on the black list, and it is reported that attempts have already been eom- menced in the congressional districts of these gentlemen to disaffect their constituencies on the ground that they are disloyal to the Republican plat form.
 The last weekly publication of the American Protective Tariff League assails MT. Babcock, accuses him of being a traitor to his party, and de- clares that his retention on the ways and means committee would be 'to be. stow a reward upon disloyalty and treachery. MT. Babcock must go."
 But MT. Babcock is not alone in the stand he has taken. He has a strong following among Republicans in the Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas del egations. Some of the men from those states have publicly declared them, selves. Mr. Babcock knows that he has further reserve support in the Middle West, and that .le far Western states that will, if the fight is pushed. rally to him.
 Sneaker Henderson is said to be SC efetly in sympathy with the Western Republicans in their move for lower tariffs, on the trustproduced articles. The prospect is good therefore, that there will be a decided split next win ter in the Republican ranks if the high tariff men carry out their threat to discipline Babcock and his allies

Blacks Hard to Reason With.

1t may be that wise counsels will at last prevail among the radicals, or that some way of placating them may be found by the Washington ad- ministration, but so long as the pres ent hard an fast rule is adhered to 1t does not appear that clash can be avoided. Once they get their minds set upon doing a thing the Cuban blacks, of whom the fiery Gualberto Gomez is a good type, are hard to reason with and still harder to control by force. If a strong sense of injus- tIce finds iodgment in their minds as it did through the administration of the island by Spain there will be but one solution satisfactory to them the arbitrament of arms It should be remembered that the blacks are the most foreeful people of the island, in- tellectually as we'll as in a military way, and, pnffed mp as they are over their military proWess as result of the rebellion against Spain, they would give scant attention to any who sought to convince them of the utter fatility of any resistance against the United States.

Cause of the kiIiina.

The trouble between the Flukers and the Cleggs grew out of a landing which the Flukers We're preparing at the foot of Alabama street. It is reported that the Cleggs purchased the wooden bridge leading into the water at that landing very recently and their intcn- tions Were to use the same as a land ing for their ferryboat. Some few weeks ago the Cleggs, through their mother, asked, through the courts, tkat Fmker be enjoined from running ferry on the Arkansas river at this place. The injunction was never granted. Both Fluker and the Clegss held permits or licenses from the county to operate a ferry. That mat tes seemed to have been settled, The tfonblc was renewed when the Flu5ers began work on a proposed landing just short distance West of the wooden bridge purchased by the eleaes, and t the foot of Alabama steeet, where the Clesg boys had pro eesesl landing thaia ferry.
