THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
Sanguiiy Fayors Plat Amendment as Gu, rar-
teeing Cuban independence.

Havana March 21.-An element of
doubt now exists as to what will be
the final attitude of the Cuban con-
stitutional convention. The preponder-
ancc Of public opinion in favor of the
Piatt amendment during the past few
days IS having its effect upon the Rad
ical members. and Gen. Sanguily'G
press utterances. today, further tend
to weaken the strength of the Radi-
Gals. Gen. Sanguily was the most rad
ical Of all the delegates. He favored
dissolving the convention when the
United States Congress adopted the
amendment. He now says:
"A literal Interpretation Of the Platt
amendment might mean the loss Of
Cuban independence: but the liberal
view which President Mckinley and
the convention would give would leave
nothing to he feared by the Cubans
Independence with some restrictions is
preferable to . continuance Of military
rule which would surely follow re
lection Of the Platt amendment.
"If tie Americans want the lsle Of
Pines. I an i'm favor Of giving K to
them / am also in favor Of establish

lands ar at some small ports. Tho

An announcement Of importance was
made by President Marsh OF the
bridgeport Trust Co. today, in the
statement that he has been informed
that George Hartford of New York,
who has all along been referred TO as
manager of Mr.. Gilmans tea store.
was also partner in the business,
holding large interest.
AS this information would indicate
that the size Of the estate may be con-
siderably less than has been supposed
il has aroused much interest and

Went TO New York, this morning, TO
obtain from MIR. Hartford a definite
statement regarding his connection
with M. Gilman's affairs.
Another claimant for share in the
Gilman estate came to the front. to-
night, i'll the person of Miss Katherine
kupfer the daughter of the dead mil
lionaire's former barber Miss kupfer
became protegce of Mr.. Gilman Il
number of years ago when she devel-
oped talent for art and was sent
abroad to study painting, after a
course in this country.
She claims that she has in her
possession n deed to what is known as
the Blenner studio. n part Of the es-
tablishment at Black Rock. The
studio was originally built for the ar
fist, Carl Blenner to whom the tea
merchant was devoted for some years
finally ending his relations with Mr..
Blcnner because the latter found the
social requirements of the Black Rock
household too cxacting to be compati-
bic with his artistic work. 1t is most
deliberately fitted up and q very valu-
able piece of property.
Miss kupfer has not recorded her
deed to the property. that she claim
is hers, but is none the less positive In
her assertions. She has retained Stod-
dard x Bishop OF this city AS her
counsel and the claim will BE- presented
when the administrator takes posses
sion of the estate.

People have lately noticed that his
pecularities had become more pro-
nounced. but still called ii oddness ana
little dreamed that the disordered tram
would soon give way entirely, with
such frightful results. His peculiari-
ties were not extreme but noticeable.
He is said to have developed jealous
disposition toward his wife. but with
out any cause. She has always stood
well in the neighborhood as well as he.
They have been married about 70 years.
Mrs. Mari is, tonight. utterly pro-
trated by the horrible deed. She hard
ly realizes the full extent of the TRACE
dy, seeming daZed with the terrible
shock of seeing her eldest daughter
struck down in cold blood by her
father, and knowing that the other
children suffered the same fate.
Why Mari allowed his wife to escape
from the room perhaps may never be
known. He certainly had ample time
to turn from his first victim and kill
his Wife. but perhaps the diseased
brain had planned the order in which
they must die and he followed the plan
to the letter
Relatives and friends are caring for

fled at the crime. which is the worst in
this section since the noted Warren
