CONFER ABOUT CUBA
The Cuban Delegates See the Presi-
dent and Secretary Root
The BUSINESS NOT YET COMPLETED.


Washington, April 26.--The Cubar
delegation from the convention fran
ing constitution for the new is
land republic saw President Mckinley
twice yesterday, once in the early
part of the day, when there were ex
pressions of friendship and again al
night when the members of the dele

ton, the convention being almost
wholly informal. Senior Capote, in his
address to the president, spoke Of the
desire of the Cubans to have the
closest possible relations with the
United States. He said that United
States soldiers and Cubans had fought
side by side and driven Spain from
the island and the ties between the
two countries were bound in blood.
In response the president expressed
his pleasure at meeting the delegation
and desired through them to extend
his kindest wishes to the people of
the island. He said that his interest
in Cuba always had been great and
he made reference to messages he
had sent to congress concerning the
island. It's welfare always would be
the subject of his most earnest con-
sideration. Concerning the object Of
the delegations visit the president
said he would confer with the sec
rotary of war, and the secretary,
having an intimate knowledge Of the
situation, would confer with the dele.
cation.
The delegation and Secretary Root
were closeted for some hours in the
afternoon in a discussion of the rela-
lions of the island to the United
States. When the meeting adjourned
no official statement was made as 10
the proceedings. but it can be said
that the result was considered salts
factory both by the Cubans and Sec
rotary Root. The business was not
completed and the conference will
reassemble this afternoon. II was
made plain to the Cubans by Secretary
Root that no modification of the Platt
amendment could be made by the ex-
ecutive department of the govern

On every 18th of October, the anniver-

visit this shrine. It stands at the far

of the Virgin that the angels carried
from Palestine to Loreto. The Pilas

of the altar is hole in the casing

chapel is crowded day and night with

railing. Every afternoon the canons,,
in their black and purple robes, preced-
ed by heralds wearing powdered wigs
and carrying maces, accompanied by
the pomp of candles, crucitiXes and
incense, move in solemn procession to
the shrine to pay homage to Muestra
