Federal statutes with view to prose-
cutting the parties who have been send
ing threatening letters to e. A. Cudaty,
in connection with the kidnapping.
The "Eloise T." case is the one in
hand, and one OF the letters was sent
forward to this city yesterday after.
noon to United States District Attorney
Bundy, with request for the arrest
and prosecution OF Harold Terrini,
alias E. j, Martinez, alias Ed Martin.
Under the Federal statutes the Of
tense was committed where the letter
was mailed, rather than where it was
delivered, and the prosecution will
have to take place in this city rather
than in Omaha.
The authorities are determined to
put wet blanket on this branch of TO-
dustry, and it is probable the matter
will be given attention in Congress in
the passage Of a law adding more
stringent postal regulation governing
this class of cases. 1t now provides for
Il fine Of $500 or Is months imprison-
ment, or DO h.

CUBAN CONVENTION.
Committee On Foreign Relations Dis
 cuss Platt Amendment.

Havana, March 1.-The committee on foreign relations of the Cuban consttu- tional convention informally discussed the Platt amendment today. There is no unanimity in the convention as to what action should be taken Even the extreme radicals seem to hesitate to take vigor- ous attitude. Everybody Is hopeful that something may happen to bring about a solution.
 General Gomez, replying to General Casnola who recently resigned from a political society in Matanzas because the constitutional convention shaped clause making General Gomez eligible to the Presidency of the Republic.
 People attach too much importance to the action of the convention. It means nothing to me The point regarding the eligibility of foreigners, who fought in the war should have never been dis cussed as it leaves the country to a con- dtion of things such as happened to Spain in the days of Amadeo and to Mex ico in the days of Maxmilian. No for eigner in Cuba has expressed desire to be President; as for myself, would not accept the office. It will be enough for me that the Republic is established

London, March 1.-The Japanese lega- ton in London has received bundle of dispatches from Tokio relative to Rus sian movements in Manchuria, but Baron Hayashi Tadasu, the Japanese minister, is unwilling to admit that Japan Is alarm ed over the recent congress in the situa- tion.
 Japan Is still reluctant to believe, said an official of the Japanese legation to the Associated Press today, that any power, even Russia Is acting outside the concert of powers. Apart from the inter est which all the powers have in a solu- ton of the question Japan would have special cause to be offended should the present harmony be disturbed by any in dividual arrangements between China and any other country. ,...ss.
 '"We do not desire to participate in the slightest way in disturbing the present united action. We are naturally peace ful and do not desire hostilities.
 Ut may be set down therefore that Japan will do her utmost to maintain peace and to ensure successful settle ment of all questions in China This does not mean that we will submit to any in- justice; but the attitude of the Japanese government today Is that 1t Is unwilling to believe Russia would defeat the pow CTS by secret negotiations with China or that the powers would permit such an ar rangement to proceed to the manifest in- jury of Japan as well as themselves"

SOUTH wABAsHA STREET DELE.
CATION WATTS ON BOARD
Their Request May Receive Favor.
able Attention if i, Signed
Petition Is Sub

Through the efforts of several of the
members of the council South Wabasha
has been saved from the general wreck
incident to the resembling and rejection
of the. many paving orders which failed
10 comply with the council injunction, or
called for some material other than
brick, but even this one thoroughfare
now seems doomed to go the way of the
rest.
Yesterday delegation of property
owners along that street called on the
board OF public works and asked that
asphalt be substituted for brick as the
material for paving. The demand seem
ed to be general, and the delegation was
instructed by the board to obtain sign
ed petition, and it would receive the con-
sideration desired.
Assemblyman Dix was mainly instru-
mental in saving the final order. which
called for brick but he has been com
PEELED to recognize the demand for as
phalt and says he will not stand in it's
way This will necessitate the creation
of a new order.
That for Lafayette avenue is
now the only order outstand-
ing in which brick is specified.
and it is expected that a petition win
shortly be received asking for the sub
stitution of asphalt. This will delay the
work and prevent its completion until
next year. Bids, however, can be called
for this year. So
