ANTI-GOMEZ MEN WIN.
Score a Point by Getting Presiden-
tiaI Question POstpOned-An
Electoral College Pro-
Vided for.

Havana, Feb. 4.-The Cuban Constitu-
tional Convention held it's first meeting
this afternoon since the deadlock occur
red, Thursday last over what is known
as the Gomez clause" in the twelf h
section of the constitution, which pro-
vides that naturalzed citizens shall be
eligible to the presidency of the republic,
if they have served ten years in the wars.
None of the delegates had changed his
opinion, but Juan Gualberto Gomez col
ored, and his followers persuaded Senior
Belancourt to vote with them for the
postponement of further discussion of
the clause until the other portions of the
constitution had been considered.
A motion to postpone as soon as the
session was opened was carried, 10 to IA.
The result was a surprise to the Gomez
ties They had intended to force the issue
to-day and had prepared to put in substi-
tutes if the anti-Gomez people had re-
signed, as some threatened to do. The
delay makes possible a tie vote, involving
a final decision by Senior Capote, presi-
dent of the convention, who is opposed to
Gen. Gomez
Another victory won by the anti-Gomez'
men to-day was the changing of the
method of electing the President of the
republic from the popular vote to the
system of an electoral college, like that
obtaining in the United States, which
was adopted, 10 to a.
The remainder of the twelfth section
dealing with the executive power, and
the whole of the thirteen section, dealing
with the vice president Of the republic
were accepted with a few immaterial
changes, except that articles IA ana 10
in the seventh division of the twelfth sec
ton. relating to provincial matters, were
postponed.
An article was added providing for a
cabinet or presidential secretaries, all OF
whom must be citizens Of Cuba, and d.
recting that all DEGREES, orders and conf
mands of the President must be counter
signed by one secretary, every secretary
being held personally responsible for tie
acts countersigned by him, bat without
relieving the President of his response

Jeh Long Dead-NegrO Who Gave
Macon a Hot Time. but Later
Became a Good Citizen

Macon, Feb. 4-Jeff Long, one of the
few negroes who ever went to Congress
from Georgia, died here to-day He was
about 70 years old. Before the war he
was slave, but was given a thorough
training as tailor and for a long time
was allowed to work and pay his owner
for his time. During the reconstruction
period he was a leader among the ne
groes, and was considered a most power
full stump speaker The night before the
election Of Gov. Smith Long addressed
a big gathering of negroes, urging them
to stand by him and take the polls away
from the white people next day. He
said he would lead them to victory over
the whites if he mad to wade through
blood. The negroes next morning at day
light formed at the City Hall and march,
ed to the Court House in solid phalanx,
shouting and terrorizing timid people.
But they were met by the white men.
and there was one of the bloodiest fights
in the history of the city. Seven dead
negroes were afterward hauled out of
the sewers and ABOUT sixteen have never
since been heard from.
Longs life was saved by Col Tom
Hardeman, who succeeded in getting him
out of the way of the irate whites by
hiding him in the belfry of the court
house. After this Long was a changed
man, and became very popular with the
white people He went to Congress for
one term, but when he returned he said
to one of the white men who had taught
him his letters: II have learned that
Congress is not the place for an ignorant
negro" He afterwards devoted his
speech-making talents to the cause of
temperance. and was a conservative man
and good citizen When he died he was
possessed of one of the finest collections
of books in this part of the state. He fo
lowed his tailoring trade to the last and
accumulated property.
