Vacation Time.

The glad vacation time is when The bug crawls down your neck And chattering misses think that men Must answer every beck. You row the boats and push the swings And far on picnics roam, And eat nnumerable things You would not touch at home. With breakfast done, for lunch you wait; And then when lunch is through For dinner time, with patience great, You start to wait anew. And be it in the mountains far, Or by the billowy shore, How gloriousy glad you are To get to work once more!

CUBAN CONVENTION.
Delegates Displeased With the Action of
CONGRESS-
CIV Associated Press }

Ivy Associated t'fcSS.D
HAVANA March 1.-THE Cuban amend
ment TO the army appropriation bill has
been forwarded to the Constitutional
Convention by General Wood, and it
was informally discussed this afternoon
by q large number of delegates.
Genera SanGuilly and Senior .Aleme:l
contended that the amendment had be-
come law and that President Mckin-
Icy could do nothing other than enforce
1t. They declared that the suggestions
from the Convention had been ignored.
that The United States Government evil
IDENTIFY intended to do what it pleased
with Cuba, and that the only manly thing
for delegates to 90 was 10 dissolve and
10 let the United States call another
convention.
Senior Juan Gualherto Gomez. although
radically opposed TO the amendment, said
he did not believe it was the final de-
cision OF the United States regarding the
future attitude of the Government to-
wards Cuba He thought the convention
should discuss the amendment and re-
turn it 10 General Wood with a careful
opinion. as it was possible that President
Mckinley would call an extra session
in the hope of bringing about a CON-
promise.
A majority of the delegates favor Of
fetal action by the convention regarding
the amendment, and this question will be
decided tomorrow.
