HAVANA, Jan. 2-Tbe Cuban constitu-
tional convention is considering two pro-
mulgations of the future relations between
Cuba and the United States One of these
affirms, in the first place, an acceptance of
the Monroe doctrine and the establishment
of friendly relations with all nations, to-
gether with resolution to proceed in all
cases in complete accord with the United
States. In the second place, it proposes to
put at the disposal of the United States
portion of the shore of any bay on the
north coast and of two bays on the south
coast for naval stations, together with con-
cessions sufficient in extent for the pur-
poses of defense and sanitation. In the
third place it declares that Cuba will place
herself on war footing to help the United
States in case such assistance should be
needed, while fourth proviso is an ampli-
fcation of the first. second and third. The
other PRONUNCIATION contemplates:
"First-That the convention is vested with
authority only to convene.
"Second-Not having been granted legisla-
tive functions, the convention cannot ar
range the basis of future relations.
"Third-Nevertheless should Washington
desire such discussion, the convention is
willing to discuss and agree upon an ar
rangement of mutual relations
"Fourth-The aspirations OF the conven-
tion are merely to consolidate the country
for reconstruction. Its energies are directed
towards supporting the avowed policy OF
the United States to which Cuba is bound
by indestructible ties of gratitude. said
policy being based on the unequivocal pres
ervation of liberty and independence
throughout the American continent"
The former PRONUNCIATION embcdies the
desires of the delegates friendly to the
United States. The latter is counter
check to the extremists. 1t is considered
that the former is likely to carry.

is generally conceded that Clayton z.

TO PUNISH KIDNAPPING.
Bill That Provides the Death Penalty
in Certain Cases.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 2.-Senator Ran
som, Of Omaha, introduced in the State
Senate to-day a bill to make kidnapping
under certain conditions punishable by
death. 1t provides for three grades of
punishment. For simple kidnapping, three
to five years in the penitentiary; for kid
naping and extorting money. a life term
in prison, and for kidnapping and threaten
ing injury to the victim, hanging. Three
other bills bearing on kidnapping and not
greatly differing in phraseology were in
troduced
The present Nebraska statute on this
crime is regarded as very lame, and good
authorities question whether, for the act
of abduction alone, conviction would be
possible. With members Of the Legisla-
ture in their present temper, one of these
bills is pretty sure TO be givens right of
way.

but so well chosen and elaborate that they
fittingiy represented the remarkable COM
mercial development Of the United States
The United States government building was
one Of the most stately structures on the
exposition grounds. M. Cambon says he
has no doubt that the generous participa-
ton of the United States will result in
a similar participation by France in the
coming exposition at Buffalo and later in
that at st. Louis commemorating the
Louisiana purchase. The French people
feel that they have a direct interest in
Napoleon that the vast area west of the
Mississippi was made part of the United
States.
The Chinese question was in it's acute
stage while the ambassador was in Paris
and other European centers, and anxiety
reached an intense pitch while the lega-
tions at Peking were in peril. NJ. Cambon
highly praised the policy OF the United
States throughout this trying ordeal, and
spoke Of the happy accord which was MAIN
tained at all times by the governments OF
France and the United States. He says
the clear note of Secretary Hay OF July
8, which was accepted by the other powers
and became the basis of international ac-
cord, cleared the way of the most dam
gerous difficulties and established the es-
sential principle that the territorial in
tegrity Of China shall not Re disturbed.
The French government has heartily ap-
proved Of this principle, and in the notable
proposal Of M. Delcasse, French minister
of foreign affairs, laying down six essen
tial features for the re-establishment OF
peace. the principle was again established
of rehabilitating China and placing the
country again on its feet. The final peace
terms recently agreed upon at Peking are
naturally a source of qualification to the
French government, as they follow almost
literally the proposals Of NJ. Delcasse as
far back as last October. The ambassador
looks upon these two notes-that of Mr..
