Memphis, Tenn, May 2S.-The attend
ance of delegates at the first days SEES
sion Of the sixth annual reunion of the

The men had turned in, fortunately oc-
cupying the berths on the starboard side
of the vessel. They were rudely awaken
ed by a slow lurch of the vessel to port,
accompanied by a grooming roar Faster
and faster the huge bulk careened over
to port, hurting the men from their hunks.
The crew scrambled out on deck and on
to the dock, against which the ship was
resting with her port rail about three
feet under water at an angle of about 40
degrees. The ship yard employees in the
meantime had rushed to the scene. and

Havana, May 2S.--The Plat amendment
was accepted by the Cuban constitutional
Convention today by vote OF 10 to Il.
The actual vote was on accepting the ma
iority report of the Committee on Rela-
lions which embodies the amendment
with explanations of certain clauses.
The Radicals made a hard fight at the
last moment and Senores Portuondo,
Gomez and Tamayo bitterly arraigned the
Conservatives Senior Tamayo was par
ticularly vindictive and declared that
everybody who voted in favor of the Platt
Anne ndment was traitor to his country
The convention compelled him to retract
his statement On several occasions
personal encounters seemed imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than an
hour and his speech undoubtedly won
over Senores Castro. Robau and Mandu-
ley He appealed to the patriotism or
delegates and rehearsed the long fight for
independence, denouncing as perjurers all
who favored the Platt Amendment, on
the ground that they had sworn to draw
| up a constitution for an independent re-
| public.
Several Conservatives rose and asked
Senior Gomez to retract, but he absolute
| ly refused.
The following delegates voted against
the majority report:
Gomez, Gener, Portuondo. LaCret Man
lduley, Cisneros, Ferrer. Forum, Robau,

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
he Decision in the De Lima Case May Make
One Necessary.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May 2S.-The
resident and members of the Cabinet
pent much time today reading and dis
ussing the published reports Of the opin-
on of the Supreme court in the insular
asses. The decision in the De Lima case,
followed in the Philippine case, as it
$ assumed it will be, might result in the
alling of an extra session of Congress.
n the De Lima case the court decided
hat the duties collected on Porto Rlcan
Goods before Congress enacted the FOR
lker law were Illegal and must be re-
unded. 1t IS presumed that the court
following the same lines of reasoning, VIII
lecide that the duties collected on goods
rom the Philippines were also Illegal,
md are subject to free entry into the
United States until Congress acts as 1t
las already done in the case OF Porto
Rico. Such q decision would mean, not
only the refunding of duties heretofore
collected, but would open the ports OF the
United States to merchandise and goods
Of every description from the Philippines
until Congress meets in December
Whether the danger from this source IS
great enough TO warrant the calling OF
Congress in extra session will be decided
only after full delibeTation. 1t is posi-
BILE. however, that this danger may nave
been already obviated in the enactment

PORTO R1cANs DISSATISFIED.
The Supreme Courts Decision in the De Lima
Case a Disappointment.
NV the Associated Press. J

(By the Associated PreSS.)
San Juan, P r., May 28.-Today
when the full report of the De Lima
case was published there was evidenced
a general feeling of disappointment
among Porto Rican merchants who had
hoped that the courts decision would
give them years free trade.
A general spirit of complaint that all
the Supreme courts decisions We're
against Porto Rico is noticeable. When
San Juan merchants We're questioned
on the subject they manifested much
regret at the outcome as they had hoped
to have refunded ali the moneys paid
under the fifteen per cent application
of the Dingley duties. 1t was generally
expected that the courts decision would
grant Porto Rico free trade and her
citizens full citizenship and constitu-
tional privileges.
As result of the consultations in
Washington between Governor Allen
and President Mckinley, Mr.. Hollander
will. in a few days submit report to
Governor Allen showing the operations
of the former new recenue act, from
which it will appear that expectations
are entertained as to the adequacy of
that the insular treasury is rapidly APP
preaching position where it can dis
pense with the custom receipts accru-
ing from trade with the United States,
without in any wise endangering the
present secure financial position of the
island BY the provisions of section
three of the Foraker Bill, free trade
becomes operative whenever the Porto
Rican Legislature passes a resolution
that an adequate system of insular tax
alton has been put into operation, and
President Mckinley upon notification of
this resolution, is to proclaim free
trade for Porto Rico If the plan now
in contemplation is carried out, Cover
nor Allen will convene the Legislature
in extra session, solely for the purpose
of passing this resolution. This action
will probably be taken July 25th. at
which time the Hollander Bill will have
been in force for nearly one month,
and it is probable that free trade will
be declared in October.

it would require careful consideration
