CUBANS NOT SATISFIED
With Our Proposal for Naval Station
Concessions on Their Island

Havana, February 1S.-The special
constitutional convention to draw up
a proposition defining the future rela-
tons between the republic of Cuba
and the United States was in confer
ence all day with the other members
of the convention in an endeavor to
get the opinion of the majority as to
what action should be taken regard
ing the suggestions offered by Govern
or General Wood on Saturday. The
question of naval stations is still the
chief subject of controversy.
Probably the committee will sub
NIT a report tomorrow, leaving out
any reference to this matter and also
emitting any reference to the right of
the United States to intervene at any
time for the preservation of order. 1t
is considered that the latter question
is covered by the treaty of Paris and
that, moreover, it would be a stop
upon the efficiency Of the government
to admit the possibility of a necessity
for American interference.
The objection to naval stations is not
looked upon in this light, but the dele
gates do not wish to give their adher-
ence to an arrangement involving a
specific stipulation as to naval sta
TONS. Many say that, if the United
States government wishes navel sta
ton in Cuba it car take them and
there Will be no objections; but the
convention, going on the assumption
that the United States will take the
initiative, is not disposed to make a
formal concession.
