II seemed probable that the limb had come
from the elevated road. The policemen told the
ticket agent and he made a search along the
tracks On the platform side OF the uptown

CUBA AND UNITED STA TE,S.
THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE CONFERRING
WITH GENERAL WOOD

Havana. Feb. 15.-CIOveTnor- General Wood left
Havana this afternoon for a two days rest at
Batabano. With him went the special commit
tee appointed by the Cuban Constitutional Con-
vention 10 draw up proposition defining the
future relations between the United States and
the republic of Cuba. The committee and Gen
eral Wood will discuss the matter this evening,
and the former will probably return to Havana
to- morrow. Judging from the personal opinions
of the members of the committee. objection
viii be raised on its part 10 establishing the
most liberal relations. Indeed, il seems TO be
accepted as a matter of course that the United
States Government is entitled 10 ask for assur
ances as to the stability of the republic. There
is an evident disposition 10 look upon the out
line Of the proposed relations published on Feb
ruary 1 in La Nacion' as indicating what is
desired by the United States.
La Lucha'' commented favorably upon the
suggestions of La Nacion" at the time. and the
silence Of the Radical press has been significant.
The only hitch that is expected TO arise between
General Wood and the Commission in discussing
the question is TO the maintenance of naval
stations in Cuba by the United States. The
other clauses may be somewhat modified but IT
is likely that an agreement will be reached
whereby cuba shall not negotiate loans on which
she is unable 10 pay interest. and shall not make
treaties with other nations prejudicial to the
interests of the United States In Cuba or in any
way preventing the islands freedom of action
The United States. the other hand. viii
guarantee peace and the protection of the rights
defined by the Treaty of Paris. and all rights
acquired by military DEGREES during the period
OF intervention will be respected
The special committee will report TO the con-
vention early next week. The signing OF the
constitution Will be made an occasion of i'm
portance. II is expected 10 take place on Mon
day or Tuesday. and the foreign Consuls will
be invited To be present.
