The New Cup Defender.
(By the Associated Press.)

Providence, R. l., Jan. 2.-vThe Evening
Telegram today printed illustrated plans
of the new Hereschoff cup defender and
says in regard to them that the length
of the new boat will be greater than the
Columbia.
In the new defender, while sticking to
the fixed centerboard type, Designer
Herschoff is placing more reliance upon
the beam than upon any other feature of
the yachts original lines
The keep is not so deep by half a
foot and no thicker than the Columbia S
at the widest part just abaft the fore
foot From a diameter of about "a inches
at the shoulder it sweeps back to where
the stern post viii be fixed on the easy
lines to width of six inches.
Its greatest diameter should be lower
than the Columbias and placed fully two
feet forward of the point where the Co.
lumbia's keep shows greatest weight The
change is supposed to give even more
sail carrying power than quickness in
stays, which is it's principal object. From
the top of the keel forward the bronze
stem will rise gently out of the water.

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.
Considering the tn are Relations Between the
Island and the United State.
(By the Associated Pressl


Havana, Jan. 2.-The Cuban Constitu-
tional Convention is considering two pro-
INDICATIONS of the future relations be-
tween Cuba and the, United States. One
of these affirms, in the first place, an ac-
ceptance of the Monroe Doctrine and the
establishment of friendly relations with
all nations, together with a resolution
to proceed in ali cases in complete ac-
cord with the United States. In the sec
ond place, it proposes to put at the dis
posal of the United States portion of
the shore CT any bay on the north coast
and of two bays on the south coast for
naval stations together with concessions
sufficient in extent for the purposes of
defense and sanitation. In the third
place, it declares that Cuba will place
herself on a war footing to help the Uni
ted States in case such assistance should
be needed; while a fourth proviso is an
amplification of the first, second and
third.
The other PRONUNCIATION contemplates:
First-That the convention is vested
with authority only to convene
Second-Not having been granted legis-
latiVe functions, the convention cannot
arrange the basis Of future relations
Third-Nevertheless, should Washing
ton defer such a discussion, the cOnven-
tion is willing to discuss and agree upon
an arrangement of mutual relations.
Fourth-The aspirations of the conven-
ton are merely to consolidate the coun-
try for reconstruction. It's energies are
directed toward supporting the avowed
policy of the United States to which Cuba
is bound by indestructible ties of graft
tude, said policy being based upon the
unequivocal preservation of liberty and
independence throughout the American
continent.
The former PRONUNCIATION embodies the
desires of delegates friendly to the Uni
ted States. The latter is counter check
to the extremists. 1t is considered that
the former is likely to carry.

THE ASPHALT DIFFICULTY.
Minister Loomis Cables That 1t Has Been
Averted For the Present.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, Jan. minister LOOMS,
at Caracas, has advised the State Depart
ment that the impending trouble over the
conflicting asphalt concessions has been
averted for the present.
There is no detail in the Minister'S dis
patch, but it is gathered that he has
induced the Venezuelan authorities to sus-
pend arbitrary action looking toward the
ejectment of some of the concessionaires
until there can be had calm, judicial
determination OF the merits of the con-
ficting claims.
1t is probable that the arrival of the
gunboat Scorpion at La Guayra has also
been a potent influence in bringing about
the present stay of proceedings.

Po,soE1 D HER HUSBAND,
He Drank the Drug Mrs. Rathbun Meant Fol-
Der Lover
lBy the Associated Press }

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 1.-THE report
of the coroner's inquest in the Rathbun
poisoning mystery, which has been abb
sorbing public attention for the last week,
was made public today. 1t finds that the
death of William Rathbun was caused by
poison put into the coffee of boarder,
John F. Hart, by Maria Ann Rathbun,
wife Of William.
The intention of Mrs. Rathbun. accord
ing to the coroner's finding, was to secure
the death of Hart with whom she is de-
clared to have had Illicit relations.
Jealousy because of Harris neglect of her
and his attentions during the last few
months to another woman is ascribed in
the coroner's report as the motive for
Mrs. Rathbun's alleged act. The poison
was put into Harris dinner pail, and
Rathbun drank some of the coffee when
Hart declared that it had peculiar taste
and burned his stomach Both men were
afterward taken sick, but Hart recovered.
