CUBA GROWS BITTER.
Thinks United States Wants Too
Many Concessions.

New York, Feb. 20.-~A dispatch to the
World from Havana says.
The resentment of Cubans against
American interference with the fOrma-
ton Of q government has unquestiona-
bly, been increased by the demands made
by Secretary Foot. The military COVER
nor's newspapers now admits that the
constitutional convention win probably
refuse the reconcession of coaling sta
tons and win also reject American sup
ervision of foreign affairs.
Gen. Jose Alleman, an active conserva-
tive member OF the convention said:
THE new fundamental law provides
that the president shall ratify treaties
subject to the approval of the Cuban
senate. The convention therefore can
not exercise rights delegated to the exec
utive- Some declaration regarding the
future relations Of Cuba and the United
States is necessary. But to grant Amer
ica's right to conduct our international
relations means the loss of our sover-
eighty and the possession Of various Gu
ban ports by the United States would be
limit Of suicidal concessions
We shall try to harmonic the wants
of the United States with what we can
cOncede."
