gpyAN SPEAKS OF CUBA.
Saws Mckinley Violates Faith BY
Restraining Control.

Lincoln. Neb., June 9.-Mr.
Bryan declares that If President
Mckinley does not want to face
the charge of violating good
faith with the Cubans and
breaking his solemn promise to
withdraw troops as soon as a
government is formally organ
lzed, he must act without wait
ing for congress.
He says Mckinley can do only
one thing. That is to ascertain
IL pacihcation exists in Cuba and
ifit does, his solemn duty is to
leave the control Of the island to
the people whom congress de
clared should be free and inde-
pendent.
Cuba's rights do not depend
on the sanction of politicians of
the United States. Their rights
came from the same divine
source as did the right Of Amer.
leans.
Congress has no more right to
enact laws for the government
of Cuba than it would have for
France or Germany.

and they did so Every State and Ter
ritory in the purchase responded.
Tho convention continued during two
days. The result of it was an unanimous
decision that the centennial Of the pur-
chase should be celebrated by a Worlds
Fair. In summing up conclusions, the
delegates, without a dissenting voice, de-
clared:
We believe that this object can be
best accomplished by an exposition, in
ternational in its character, where the
products of the labor, skill, genius, in
dustry and enterprise of our country are
brought into close comparison with those
of all other countries; where the peo-
pies of the earth can have an opportunity
to behold and study the mighty impress
which the influence of liberty makes up
on the progress of man, and in this
great contest, where the world is the
field, this wonderful valley, extending
from the semi-tropical sea on the south
to the semi-frozen regions of the north,
will gladly submit its progress and
achievements for the first century OF its
growth, in friendly competition with the
results of many countries in the older
world
The convention recommended that Con-
gress be asked to participate through a
suitable appropriation.
A rollcall of States and Territories
for an opinion on the most appropriate
location for the proposed exposition
showed 60 votes for st. Louis and for
New Orleans.
The Missouri delegation did not vote.
The selection of st. Louis was then made
unanimous"
