NOT BELIEVED BY OFFICIALS
That Gen. Wood Has Given Certain
Assurances to the Cubans

NO credence is given here in official cir
real Wood has informed members of the
Cuban constitutional convention that the
declaration of Congress as contained In the
flatt amendment to the army appropria-
ton bill Is merely a basis for further ne
go'iations as to the relations between the
United States and Cuba. and that the rejec-
tlon Oh the amendment by the convention
would be followed by the reconyening of
the American Congress in special session.
There Is authority for the statement that
the remarks attributed TO General Wood are
contrary to the view of the matter held by
the principal officers of the administration.
Briefly stated. the expectation in Washing
ton Is that the Cuban convention will ac-
cept the conditions laid down by the Ameri.
can Congress eventually, If not in the i'm
mediate future. and that the Cuban dele
gates will be given to understand that the
action of Congress was final, having been
taken after thorough consideration of the
subject and that such action Is not likely
to be modified or amended by that body
even If called together again expressly for
that purpose, except in the event of the de-
velopment of radical and unlocked for
Grange in the situation. As one official ex-
pressed 1t. the action of Congress on the
Cuban question was taken with the view
OF obyiating an extra session of Congress
as well as to acquaint the Cuban constitu-
tional convention with what was expected
OF Ii. He said that the declaration of Con-
gress will stand until the convention Is
ready to act In accordance Herewith. other
wise the existing military government will
continue in power at least until December
next, when Congress reassembles in regular
session, and the Cuban question can he
again taken up for such legislation as NAV
seem to be necessary.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

same old story-temporary Indignation dis

paper jokes as the next date approaches,
furry, a perfunctory speech or two in Con-
gress and then-the same old thing. The
case needs no argument. April 30 Is the
historic date We should desire to perpetu-
ate and honor, and the seasonable date for
comfort and delight in the occasion. The
individual congressman at any time con-
cedes all you say lbn the subject, but he
will not act. Perish the base insinuation
that to single congressional year of three
months he is unwilling to add two months
more of work. Het wisely and patriotic

knew about Marchbwinds when he ran for
the Office. and If the people do not like the
weather let them stay at home And as
when he could. It Is plain that If the
change comes 1t must be by some other

Churchman's League Lectures.

The second Of the seventh annual course
Of lectures of the Churchman'S League OF
the District of Columbia was given Tuesday
evening at the Church OF the Epiphany. the
Very Rev. VIM. M. Groton, dean Of the
Philadelphia Divinity School, being the lee
turer. Subject. 1.-The Church Of England
and the Mission of Augustine"
The reverend gentleman said: English
authorities formerly agreed in recognizing
the pre-eminence Of Celtic missionary effort
in establishing the English church. A his
torical school, however, has recently APP
peared in the Church of England, whose
purpose seems to be to minimize the Celtic
Influence, and to make the English church
wholly a continuance of the Augustin.an
mission. But the position of this school is
open to grave criticism. Its members I'M
fairly disparage the old British chuSch, and
still more unfairly the larger Celtic church.
1.-The British church was Gallican, not
Roman and only Indirectly eastern in its
origin Nor was the British church, APP
parently ever subject to the Roman see.
British Christianity. an Independent stream,
really touched English life through Irish
Christianity by means of the work of the
Irish Saint COLUMBIA. Probably. however,
there is no Celtic succession in English or
ders. The inheritance from the Celtic
church consists in its missionary fervor and
in the fruits of its labors. wrought in va
rious parts of early England
