The Cuban delegates have completed
their mission at Washington. Neither
the delegates nor the Washington offs
Gals will talk as to what has been acc
complished in the consultations with the
President and the Secretary of War. 1t
is known that the delegates Were highly
pleased with their reception, and that
the utmost good feeling prevailed be-
tween the commission and the representa-
tives of the United States government
during the deliberations. The csmmls-
sion was not entrusted with plenary pow
err to approve or disapprove my scheme
of relationship between Cuba and the
United States. The delegates We're sent
by the constitutional convention simply
as an Investigating committee. to ascer-
tain from headquarters the administfa-
tons policy toward Cuba and its inter-
probation of the provisions of the Platt
amendment. Neither President .MclSin-
ley nor the cabinet had any authority to
change any of the conditions laid dow
in the Platt amendment as passed by
Congress. From the meager reports OF
the deliberations which have leaked out,
it appears that the Cuban delegates were
anxious to secure some pledge of recip-
io''i tI'.tc IclittloIS pGpNSSi thV INV
States and Cuba, the Cubans being espe-
cially Interested in securing n reduction
of the duties on American imports OF
sugar and tobacco. The interest display
ea in this topic may be taken as an i'll
dication of the willingness of the Cuban
delegates to accept the terms of the llatt
amendment. if re-euiorccd by assurances
of Il business relationship which would
be to the advantage of Cuba. From the
administration standpoint, the important
matter in connection with the recent con
ference was TO convince the Cuban repre-
sentatives of the governments friendli
ness toward Cuba. and to emphasize the
fact that the conditions named i'll tho
Platt amendment were insisted upon ii
the interests of Cuba, without any dispo
sition to interfere with the independence
of the island when it is ready for abso
lutte Independence.

STORM TROUBLED HIM.
George Leeds Tells Why He Remained
Away From Chester.

George Leeds Tells Why He Remained
Away From Chester.
George Leeds, who claims Whining
, ton as his present place Of residence,
was in Chester, Pa, his former home,
last week, after long absence. He
was at one tlme IA resident of Chester,
but left the place suddenly and re-
maiued away, having as special reason
foi doing SO, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing from the Republican of that
city:
The story told by Leeds is an inter
eetng one. When he came to this
country from England, he secured en-
ployment as a boss maohinist In Cross
ley's foundry, which was located in the
Fourth ward, known at that time as
Larkintown. His position was good
one and he lived in comfortable ciroum-
stances With several fellow workmen,
during the holidays, he would form a
sailing party and go across the river to
what was then known as Tom Gibbs
Island, adjoining "Aunt Deb's Creels'
on the Jersey shore. where they would
spend the time with Gibbs, who was an
did fisherman. One holiday, with six
companions, he started across the river
to enjoy day 3 outing, but just as they
had crossed the channel storm broke
The boat capsized and the occupants
were thrown into the water. Leeds
with two of his companions succeeded
in getting on the bottom of the up
turned boat, but their friends were
drowned. After remaining in the water
several hours. the three survivors were
picked up by Jersey fisherman.
Upon the return to Chester, Mr..
Leeds was troubled with visions of the
storm and his friends deaths, and de-
oided to get away from the surround
ings. In the course of few days after
he had recov cred from the ordeal, he
and his family left Chester and went
to Oregon. After a few years had
elapsed, having been left alone, his
family being scattered in different
cities, went to Wilmington, where he
secured employment, and he had re
manned in that city until Thursday
when he decided to take trip to Ches-
ter, his former home.

Rose Hill in Fine Conditioned New Order
That May Cause Some Trouble
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal.
Rose Hill, Sept. 10.-Miss Bartram,
principal of the school at this PLACE,
reports the school in excellent shape,
with 40 scholars. The scholars are at
tantive and studious and range in
studies from fine A, B, @ class to
grammar class.
The school commissioners fear that
the recent decision of the Board of Edu-
cation of Wilmington requiring the
payment of tuition fee for the pupils
from outlying school districts may
cause stampede to the schools in the
respective school districts, which may
mean doubling of the capacity of those
schools and the necessity Of grading
tine schools, which will require more
teachers. lJ
While this may prove of great value
to the children and parents, the school
at this place will not, in general way,
admit Of the teaching OF so scholars.
It's seating capacity is So, and an in
crease will mean that some of the
scholars must take their lessons in one
session.

Milburn House, Buffalo, n.y., Sent.
10. Again what may be termed a
crisis night, the fourth since the
dastardly attempt on the life of Prssi-
dent Mckinley, has passed, and with
out single symptom unfavorable to
the Presidents recovery. In fact, the
tone of the first bulletin this morning
was most carefully worded, rejoicing
that the distinguished patient had been
more comfol table during the night
than during any previous period since
be was wounded. Both pulse and tenn
perature were trif1e higher than yes
terday morning, but so little as to
cause no worry. and, in fact, rather to
give encouragement by the slightnees
of the change of condition.
Between and G. 80 o'clock, there was
not sign of life about the Milburn
mansion, except that at is O'Clock,
DR.. Park, who had been one Of the
night watchers, left the house to go to
his room. At rare intervals, the
watchers on the corner opposite would
see the light in the Presidents room
brighten little as the attendants did.
something for the patients comfort.
At 8 O'Clock, a gentle rain began tall
ing, making it unpleasant for the news
paper watchers and the guards Luckily,
the civic and military authorities had
provided shelter, a big election booth
and several tents forming fairly COM
Portable retreat, from which the front
of the Milburn house could be kept un-.
der observation.
At o'clock, the hour at which the
first bulletin had been issued on other
mornings, there was NO Sign OF life
about the house, except the slowly
moving guards parading the walks, and
it was understood that Secretary
Cortelyou had left word that he was
not to be disturbed until I O'Clock,
another slight Indication that the
patient was doing WE'LL 1t was minute
or su after O'Clock when the first
bulletin was issued, although IL WIS
dated $50 o'cluok. 1t was signed by
Drs. Parke and Rixsy, who had divided
the night watch, and its tone of hope
fulness was the most decided OF any
given out since the President was shot.
There was confident ring about the
phrase 1.-THE President has passed tho
most comfortable night since the attack
on his life" that sent those who read
it on their way rejoicing in the almost
firm conviction that the recovery OF the
distinguished patient was now almost
absolutely assured.
At 7.30 O'Clock, an automobile drove
up, and from it alighted Secretary of
State Hay. He walked up from the
corner toward the house, when he was
met by one of the Secret Service men.
He asked IL the people were up yet,
and, being told that nobody had yet
come from their rooms, he decided not
TO ask admission. He was shown the
early morning bulletin, and said when
he had read it: Good. The country
will rejoice He went down to the
Buffalo Club promising to return later.
