Nothing Done by the Constitutional
Convention at Its Session
Yesterday.
NO REVOLUTION EXPECTED
THOUGH THERE is CONSIDERABLE
POLITICAL EXCITEMENT.
Delegates Notified by Governor Gen.
eraI Wood that the Action of
Congress Was Final.

HAVANA, March GA few of the dele
gates to the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton sat around the convention hall this
afternoon. They held no meeting and were
not disposed to talk about the situation,
but the general opinion seemed TO be that
the convention would not accept the Platt
amendment. There Is considerable politi-
cal excitement throughout the country. but
no disposition to resent the action of Con-
gress except by moral force.
Governor General Wood has received nu-
merous kilograms from municipalities pro-
testing against the amendment and asking
for absolute independence. But this move
ment is largely ascribed to efforts on the
part of the radical element in Havana
and the civil Governors, who have been re-
questing that such requests should be sent
in. There are rumors in Havana,zthat a
movement is now on foot to bring about
an uprising, but the radical leaders say
there is no foundation for them, as an
uprising would be death blow to the
hopes for independence. General Wood
says the members of the convention have
been definitely informed that the action Of
Congress is final and conclusive, and that
there is no probability of an extra session.
The cartmen threaten to join the strik-
ing stevedores and lighter men Tomorrow
1t is also rumored that the railroad men
intended going out, thus causing a general
tie-up of transportation. Everything, how
ever, is quiet this evening.

been denied by this Congress. The most
casual examination of this table makes
comment practically unnecessary. IL shows
that the army for each OF the two years
prior TO the Spansh-American war cost n
little over S23.000,000. and but little more
than S46,0000o0 for the two years covered
by the Fifty-fourth Congress, while for the
army for each of the two years since that
war 1901 and 1902, ii costs nearly Sis. 900.
or $3.50. 600 600 for the two years exclusive OF
deficiencies that have been provided for In
large sums out of appropriations made for
expenses of the Spanish war during the
Fifty-fifth Congress The navy cost for tile
two years 1S97-ss seS. 562. 600. while for the
years 1901 and 1902 these appropriations
amount to nearly $144ooo.c00 For the pay
ment of pensions the appropriations show
ar increase of nearly sS.OOO.OO0 for the two
years.
I'm a word. this table shows that the
price to the people of the policy of this
administration that has been thrust upon
them by the Republican party is in round
numbers $4,000 1900 within a period of two
years, and the half that is contemplated
has not yet been put in operation. The ship
subsidy measure, that has been deferred
but not abandoned, will cost SlsOoo0.OOO

Botha's Surrender Likely to he as nm
Individual Rather Than as
Commander-in-Chf

LONDON. March 7.-Private information
received in London this morning confirms
rumors Of negotiations between. Lord
Kitchener, Sir Alfred Miner and Com
mandant General Louis Botha. Nothing
is known as to the actual presence of the
Boer commander-in-chief at Pretoria, and
no London paper publishes a statement
that he is there; but it is reasonably certain
that General Botha is in either personal
or very close touch with Lord Kitchener.
The Associated Press is informed that Sir
Alfred Miner has gone to Pretoria with
the object of assisting Lord Kitchener in
these negotiations. the length of which ap-
pears to be due to General Botha's desire
TO consult with acting President Schalk-
burger at Petersburg and to make terms
applying to the whole Boer force; but, mill
tating against this, is Lord Kitchener s
doubt as to General Botha's ability to con-
troll General De Wet and other leaders. as
well as other opposition General Botha is
encountering.
One of the best informed South African
authorities said last evening: I'VE have
little doubt that General Botha will sur
render. The question is to what forces
he can bring with him. We have private
information tending TO show that Lord
Kitchener and Sir Alfred Miner have de-
cided 10 accept his surrender on the basis
that he is merely an individual commander.
rather than commander-in-chief of the en-
emy's forces. General De Wet and General
Delary, as we'll as the other leaders. will
probably have to be dealt with individually
on similar terms. If the negotiations with
III cftIl fnrr ina
tion II will be-to use an expressive Ameri-
canism-just one of the bunch
IT is also understood that DR.. Leyds was
recently negotiating 10 secure peace terms,
but when il was discovered that he was
merely acting farce, not being In COM
munication with General Botha or not able
to live up 10 the tentative suggestions
made, the British government, having
learned his views, quickly ended the pro-
ceedings and especially when 1t was found
that Lord Kitchener was treating with
General Botha, while DR.. Leyds was un-
able to speak authoritatively for the forces
in the field.
Curiously enough the War Office seems
genuinely without Information regarding
the exact status of affairs. The great
financial firms whose interests in South
Africa are almost equal TO those OF the
government believe from their private ad-
vices that the present situation is likely
TO result i'm the surrender of General Botha
and the forces under his immediate COM
mand. while the other Boer units will re-
main In the field.
The Daily Mail publishes the following
from Colesberg. dated March 5: "a big

G. A. R. NOT PLEASED.
COmrade Kay Voices the Sentiment of
Dissatisfied Veterans.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The failure Of the
Fifty-sixth Congress to legislate in the in
terest of war veterans, together with SOME
sharp criticisms on the attempt to rele-
gate such veterans to what they consid-
cred an unacceptable position in line III
the inaugural parade, and a suggestion OF
a convention 10 be held at Cleveland in
September next to consider the rights of
veterans. were made the subject Of an ad-
dress delivered tonight in Brooklyn BY
Joseph w. Kay, president of the War Vet
Grams and Sons Association and chairman
of the G. A. r. committee on legislation.
Chairman Kay. referring to the Fifty-sixth
Congress, said:
Its sins of omission and ingratitude-
except in lip service-are but counterparts
of other Congresses that have preceded it,
and which. though appealed to- failed to do
justice or show gratitude by the disregard
OF sacred promises made while the lite of
this Nation in danger and the success
OF free government on the earth was yet
an open question. With this difference:
That the cause of the veteran in the mat
ter OF preferment In the public service
plainly made known and being well under
stood by this latest Congress, was tram
pied upon In the House and refused con-
sideration time and again in the Senate I'm
fun knowledge OF the facts"
Chairman Kay then devoted some time
TO scoring the managers OF the inaugural
parade for attempting TO place the veter-
ans in an inconspicuous place. and he
wound up by saying that the matter prob
ably would be considered at Cleveland next
September and that the claims OF the vet
erans on the national government made
known to the people OF the land I'm an ad-
dress so plain that he who runs may read
demanding for them even-handed justice"

~OmcfaIIy Dead.s

LONDON, March 7.-Mr. Durant and his
mother were found last evening at the
Euston Hotel. When interrogated on the
subject OF the report of his death in a duel
at Ostend he was greatly taken aback and
exhibited extreme agitation at the revela-
tion of his scheme. Finally, resolving on
a frank statement, he explained that ho
had had a serious quarrel with Mile. Man.
gin. his betrothed, and had determined tn
break of relations with her. He said he
considered the best exit from the difficulty
would be TO die, at least officially, and that
his trouble with the Russian. which was
real offered the easiest solution OF his en-
tanglement Therefore he took advantage
of this method OF announcing his death
He admitted that he enlisted the service Of
a trusted friend in Paris TO secure the In
sertion OF the death notice. and he ex-
pressed the greatest chagrin and surprise
that the story had leaked out. When
pressed regarding the alleged duel he de-
clined 10 discuss the matter. saying. II
received the kindest treatment at the hands
OF the Russian. and don't wish 10 cause
pain. / had hoped the plan would SUE

betrothed a plausible explanation FOR the
