GOMEZ is BITTER.
Would Rather Have Spanish Rule
Thsn That of America.

Havana, April 10-The Cuban consti-
tutionai convention at today's session
took no action regarding the proposal
to appoint a commission to go to
Washington in reference to the future
relations between Cuba and the United
States. The whole time was taken UP
by Senior Juan Gualberto Gomez and
General Sanguilly, who made long and
impassiOned speeches, the former
against the Plat amendment and the
latter in its favor.
Senior Gomez said in substance that
the black blood in his veins made him
opposed to the Americans. intimating
stamped them as unfriendly to the
negro
Il would rather be under the SOver-
eighty Of SPAIN he exclaimed, than
under that of the United States. The
Plat amendment endangers the indie
pendence of Cuba. 1t means the pre-
dominance of American influence.
would rather die Of grief or leave the
country should il be accepted
He admitted that he was not particu-
larly opposed to sending a commission
to Washington, but he said he believed
the Plat amendment should be re-
jected first.
General Sanguilly made a strong ap-
peal TO the delegates to accept the
amendment He cited the reasons he
had already given in a public letter in
favor of such a course, and emphasized
the fact that the amendment in no way
endangered the independence OF Cuba,
but really provided guarantees that
it would be maintained.

The handsome interior of the French

for the occasion. As the guests entered

further end the superb painting of

to begin the attack on Yorktown, with
a large American flag Topped around
the top and French flags gracefully I'M

MILLION DOLLARS TO
ARMOUR INSTITUTE

Chicago, April 10.-Armour institute,
in this city. which owes its existence to
the late Philip d. Armour, will tomor-
row receive an addition to its endow-
ment of 81. 900 600, the money coming
from Mrs. p. j. Armour and J. ogden
Armour, the widow and son OF its
founder.
The announcement of the proposed
aft was surprise even to the officials
of the institution. 1t is expected that
the money viii be used TO extend the
scope of the institution in electrical
and chemical engineering. The insti-
tute is now in a very prosperous cOndt-
ZION, having an endowment Of $780,,
000 all of which was given by the late
endowment win be used to extend the
facilities of the institute, it being diff
cult for it at the present to accOmmo-
date all the students desiring admis-
sion.
An added interest attaches to the do
nation from the fact that p. d. Ar
mour, at his cath. failed to make any
provision in his will for the school of
technology which he founded and
which had gained a reputatiO that
We'd with any other school of its char
aCter in the United States. There was
general surprise manifested az the time
of the probating of Mr.. ArmOur's will
that the institution which bore his
name and which had been considered
by his friends as one of his hobbies.
had been practically ignored. 1t was
asserted at Ehe time that Mr.. Armour,
confident that his family would regard
the school as a sacred trust. had deter
mined to leave it's future in their hands
without any ,hindrance, and it was said
that the institute would not be allowed
to suffer and deteriOrate by his family
The truth. of this was demonstrated to-
day.
The declaration will not in any way
retard the negotiations looking to the
affinity of the institute with the uni
verSity of Chicago. 1t is understood
that J. Ogden Armour is to make the
institute the greatest of its character
in mechanical engineering in the world.
The money will not, however. be de-
voted to that branch alone. The civil
engineering course particularly will be
augmented.

DISPUTES GOVERNOR ALLEN
Porto Rican Commissioner Says the

New York, April 1O.-Replying to the

imports SS,100,0 00 a balance Of trade

THEORY AS TO THEFT.
Gold Undoubtedly Stolen After the
Steamer Left New York.

London, April 1O.-The offer of re-
ward for the return of the gold stolen
from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
or for the discovery of the thieves, ap-
pears 10 effectually dispose of the the
Org first advanced, that the bars were
stolen previous to having been put on
board the steamer. No clues, however,
seem to be forthcoming. regarding the
perpetrators of the robbery. Passen-
gers of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
who were landed at Southampton. told
a representative of the Associated Press
that they knew nothing of the matter
until they read of it in the newspapers
this morning. 1t was observed that
there were no special precautions or
searching when the passengers disem-
barked, though there was some COM
ment, caused by the delay of seven
hours in landing the passengers at
CherbOurg, where the steamer arrived
ait 1 1o'clock Monday night.
But, contrary to custom, the paSsen-
gers were kept on board until o'clock
in the morning. The officers of the
steamer explained that the tender
would not come out. But this failed
TO satisfy the impatient passengers,
VINO, however, were quite ignorant un-
til they landed that their detention was
due to the initial Investigations conse-
qIIent upon the theft and the precau-
ti0ns exercised at CherbOurg.
But the fact that these precautions
were not observed subsequently at
Southampton was taken to Indicate that
the officials believe the conspiracy had
its chief end on the continent. The pas
Sengers are inclined to believe that the
robbery must have been accomplished
by an individual exceptionally cOnvers-
ant with the arrangements with the
steamship company, for not one of the
cabin passengers, apparently, knew
there was specie on board, much less
where it was kept.

NO TRACE OF THE
STOLEN GOLD BARS
Steamship Company Offers Re-
ward of 10000 Marks.
THEORIES AS TO THEFT
MISSING PLUMBER MAY. STILL
BE ABOARD THE VESSEL.

Bremen. April 10.-The directors of
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company have apparently learned
nothing definite as to when or where
the theft of the gold bars from the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
took place. Captain Englebart is of the
opinion that the gold was stolen at
either New York or Southampton. The
police here, as a result of their in
quiries, think the robbery was probably
committed in New York.
The company has offered a reward of
10000 marks for their restitution, or for
the discovery of the thieves.

steamer strong BOX.
New York, April 1O.-The robbery at
sea of the specie room of the North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse seems a mysterious crime. APP
pdTently there has been complete fail
ure to locate either the missing gold
bullion or the men who took it,
although the search of passengers and
ship at Bremen again this morning may
furnish material for the Investigations.
The advices to Oelrichs s, Co, agents
for the company, came in German, and
on the point as to whether the specie
room was broken open or entered by
picking the lock, admit of translation
either way. The specie room of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse is iron
bound, and almost as strong as vault.
The bars of gold were packed in oak
casks, bound with iron hoops. Thou
sands of dollars in gold were within the
reach Of the man who forced his way
into the strong room, but only the three
liars were taken. At the office of the
North German Lloyd agents this morn
ing. the following statement was given
to the Associated Press:
Three bars of gold. valued at so, $50,
We're taken from the specie room Of
the Wilhelm der Crosse somewhere be-
tween here and Cherbourg. The bars
were taken from cask No. {, but we
have no idea as to how the robbery
was accomplished. Our advices are
brief, and do not show how the room
was entered. The gold was shipped by
the National City bank of New York.
We understand it was insured, but the
question of responsibility viii be passed
upon later. We have not recovered the
gold. and this office has no knowledge
of the thieves. The specie room is a
strong safe. one secured by patent
locks, to which there We're but two
keys. The chief officer kept one, and
the purser the other. We viii make
every possible effort to recover the
money and catch the thieves"

Vienna. April 1O-Both sessions of the

DAY we're very stormy, partly owing 70
the fact that many of the delegates jusu-

ments of the congress and. between the

After an animated debate, il was unan-
