There is authority for the statement that the
remarks attributed to General Wood are con

that the Cuban convention will accept the CON

will be given TO understand that the action of

not likely to be modified or amended by that

ABLY.

Havana. March AT the conference last
night of the Cuban Constitutional Convention
many delegates favored the temporary suspen-

nifty to consult the wishes of their constituents

pRoRAB1E SIZE OF THE COTTON CROP.

The Progressive Farmer predlcts
that the cotton crop of this year Will
be no larger than that OF l9OO.
The authorities unanimously agree
that the increase in acreage over
that of last year is less than ten per
cent. the Financial Chronicle placing
it as low as sos per cent, compared
with the Agricultural Departments
estimate, 8.3 per cent. The hlghos6
estimate is by Latham, Alexander q
Co., 9.O8 per cent. From the lntor-
nation at hand, it appears to US that
this slight increase in acreage IS very
nearly, if not quite, offset by the
poor condition of the growing crop.
Latham, Alexander g Co., for IN
stance, say that the average plant
ing was about II days later than last
year, while the Agricultural Depart
ment reports that, with one excep-
ton, the condition June 1 was the
lowest in twenty years.
The New York Financial Chronicle
last Friday, 9TH, published its re-
port as to acreage, as follows:
''The inclination at the South this
year was quite generally in the
direction of charging cotton areas
But we fud no evidence of any rad1-
cal tendency in that direction, ex-
cept in the 1--WE sections, n
the net percentage of increase for
the whole country is only about half
as great as in 1900. Oklahoma, which
furnished an addition of 25 per cent.
last year, ACIDS 20 per cent. this sea-
son, and in the Indian Territory the
percentage this year is IA, against Is
in 1900. Some sections in western
Texas report very heavy additions
this spring, but in many other dis
tricts of the State the increases have
been quite moderate. AS we make
it, the net gain for the whole coUn-
try is about sos per cent, against
9.O7 per cent. last year"

NEW CUBAN

The Cuban American controversy
in regard to the new form of govern
ment for the Gem of the Antilles
may yet give serious trouble to both
parties. The Cuban Constitutional
Convention, as has been reported in
our news columns, nominally &C
cepted the Platt Amendment by the
bare majority of one, but it trans
pires that the new constitution
framed by this convention contains
provisions conflicting with the spirit
of the measure which they professed
to accept. The resultant refusal of
President Mckinley and his cabinet
to accept the proposed constitution
renders the situation again chaotic
and threatening. To US, the outlook
appears decidedly dark.
