GOMEZ FACTION won
Eligibility of Dominican Gem
eral to Presidency Fixed.
BITTER CONVENTION STRUGGLE ENDED
Editing Committee at Work on the
Cuban Code, and Its Final Adop-
tion Expected at an
Early Date.

HAVANA, Feb. 1.-THE followers of
General Maximo Gomez triumphed yes
terday in the Cuban constitutional CON
vention. The clause making him eligible
to The presidency of the republic was
adopted by a vote of Is to H. There was
no discussion. just before the question
was put to u vote Senior Giberga said he
did not think the convention was called
upon to recognize the revolutionary ele-
ment in the constitution, but this pro-
test ELECTED no reply. Senor Llorente,
who is classed with the anti-Gomez fac
tion, was not present at yesterdays ses-
sion owing to sickness. General Rivera
absented himself in consequence of his
wish not to take part in this particular
dispute. Senior Betancourt, who voted
last week with the opponents of General
Gomez to postpone the discussion, east
ms vote Tor Gomez, making q majority
of one in favor Of the clause.
The anti-Gomez faction took the de-
feat quietly and almost good naturedly.
The session will continue today, when
some changes will be made. 1t is gem
orally believed that the convention will
leave out the clause referring to the ex-
pulsion of ''pernicious foreigners" There
Is also growing disposition to eradi-
cate all radical clauses before submitting
the completed work to the United States
congress.
The editing committee is getting the
document in shape with as little delay as
possible, and it is expected that the final
adoption will not be much postponed.
The question of the relations to be sus-
tanned between Cuba and the United
States will be left to a special commits
sion who will draw up n proposal to be
submitted to the convention.
Governor General Wood has issued a
decree declaring valid the contract be-
tween the Pan-American Express COM
pany and the Cuban railroads without
any qualifications. The order settles
definitely the rights OF the company.
