The action Of the administration in
Insisting that the Cuban constitution

concede what the administration de-

Quished to the Cubans-it was not
transferred to this nation. We have no
right to demand that Cuba shall now
make a treaty with us before we com

that she will show her gratitude in every
proper way II we act I'm good faith
But why arouse the suspicion of her
people or provoke them to anger? They
are entitled to the liberty for which

are sowing seeds of discord when they
acknowledge, as If grudgingly. the in

proclaimed three years ago.
At the final session of the Cuban con-

Challenger Is in the Lead Part of

New York, Oct. 5.-The Columbia

H., when she again came in ahead in
another exciting race, with good wind
and the Shamrock, as in the two other
previous races, ahead in the early part
of the race.
The Shamrock, however, had the
great satisfaction of having beaten
the Columbia over the finish line,
even if the time allowance of 80 sec

The challenger crossed the line about
three seconds ahead of the defender.
leaving the latter a safe margin on
her time allowance.
