United states, Relation to Island is
Likely to Go Direct to Congress.
Havana, Feb. u. The special COM
mittee appointed by the Cuban consti-
tutionals convention to draw up a prop
csition defining the future relations be-
tween the United States and the repub-
lie of Cuba continued in secret session
with the other members of the conven-
stion all day No settlement was
reached. 1t is understood that a ma
iority favor leaving the question open
Until the signing of the constitution,
Which is now being engrossed. The
committee is expecting Gov. Gen. Wood
to send an official letter setting forth
what he considers the relations should
be, so that the convention may act
with better understanding of the de-
sires of the United States. 1t is argued
that even if the convention should
agree to such a definition of relations
as was outlined by Gen. Wood last week
IL is not officially known whether the
United States would approve. A corn
mitter as a commission may be named
TO go to Washington with the Eccnstitu-
ton and settle the whole question be-
fore congress.
The committee is practically unani-
nous against naval stations at Havana,
Cienfuegos or Santiago. Some of the
delegates say they will readily grant
the request il the stations are located
say, one on the Isle of Pines and the
others on smaller islands.

the cars to the tender. and, covering
Hyer with their weapons. demanded
that he surrender.
The farmer-desperado at first showed
fight. but seeing that he was at dis
advantage. he threw the money out of
the cab window and tried TO escape. A
crowd of about 200 persons had followed
the train from town, however. and they
came UP in time to catch him. Hyer was
taken to Urbana and put in Jail. All
the money was picked up from the
ground and returned to the bank.
Hyer shot and dangerously wounded
his brother last Sunday, and would
likely have been arrested for the crime.
This fact, 1t is thought, prompted his
desperate attempt to rob the bank.

disgrace whatever in the eyes OF the
Chinese.
No one believes Gen. Tung Fuh Sian
