CUBANs AS ALLIES,
Majority Of Delegates TO convsn'
tiOn Express Themselves.
Would Form an Alliance with the United
States, Offensive and Defensive, with
Permission 70 Man Cuban Portn II
Emergencies Demanded It


Havana, Dec. 3l.--The central COM
mittee of the constitutional conven- |
tion has finished the project for a
constitution, which will be presented
TO the convention and discussed at
private sessions. After the changes
have been agreed on the project viii
be discussed publicly. The delegates
say the constitution will be adopted
by January IL, when II will be sent to
the American congress. The delegates
will probably recommend that three
mouths after the constitution Is
adopted the officers OF the Cuban
government shall be elected and the
government handed over to the peo-
pie. In this way congress win have
three months In which to either ac-
eept or reject the constitution.
Regarding the relations to exist
between Cuba and the United States,
the Discussion publishes an article.
which, 1t is claimed, Is in accordance
with the opinion Of majority of the
delegates. It says that Cuba should
make an offensive and defensive
treaty with the United States, Cubs
undertaking to fortify the island
ports and TO garrison them, on the
understanding that the United States.
in the event of war, shall have the
right to use the forts as their own.
and even to put American troops lrN
them II the Cuban garrisons prove in
sufficient. This alliance, the paper
says, would also solve the questions
OF loans and foreign relations, as,
with such treaty In force. no ma
tion would lend money to Cuba with
out first consulting the United States
A similar condition would prevail in
connection with questions Of foreign
relations. One Of the most promf'
nent members Of the convention
claims that the delegates ara willing
to concede these conditions
A telegram has been published In
the Lucha saying that the UniteS
1 States will not protect Cuba agains
the claims which foreign nations ma ,
attempt to enforce, The radical or
gans regard this as a BLUM on th'
part Of the annexntionists to infiu
ence the delegates to accept al
American protectorate. 0ualber14
Gomez says that Cuba will refuse q
recognize such claims, which shoul
be settled by Spain. Foreigner
would not gain anything by attack
ing Cuba or even by landing troop
In the island, as by doing SO the
would not get their money. The rad
ical organs consider that Cuba in tl1i
respect would be independent Of tn
Monroe doctrine.
