Havana, Feb. 15.-Gov, Gen. Wood LETT
Havana this afternoon for a two days
rest at Batabano. With him went the
special committee appointed by the Gu
ban constitutional convention TO draw up
a proposition def ing the future relations
between the United states and the Repub-
lie of Cuta. The committee ard Gen.
Wood will discuss the matter this even
ing and the former probably will return
to Havana tomorrow.
Judging from the personal opinions OF
the members of the committee no o. jec-
ton will be raised on It's part to establish
ing the most liberal relations. indie d. 1t
seems TO be accepted as a matter of
course that the United States government
is entitled to ask for assurances as to tie
stability of the republic. There S an evil

sired by the United States.
La Lucha commented favorably upon
the suggestions of La Nacion at tho time
and the silence of the radical press has
been significant The only hitch that is
expected to arise between Gen. Wood and
the commission. in discussing the 1ues-
ton, is as to the maintenance OF naval
stations in Cuba by the United States
The other clauses may be somewhat
modified. but 1t is likely that an agree
ment will be reached whereby Cuba shall
not negotiate loans on which she is I'M
able to pay interest and shall not make
treaties with other nations preiudicial to
the interests of the United States in Cuba,
or in any way preventing the islands
freedom of action. The United States. on
the other hand, will guarantee peace and
the protection of the rights defined by
the treaty of Paris, and all rights ac-
quired by military DEGREES during the
period of Intervention will be respected.

convention early next week The sign

CHANGE FEDERAL COURT.
Bill Introduced In Congress by Me- Culloch To Change Place Of Holding The Federal Court From Batesville To
 Newport.

Representative McCulloch, of Ar kansas, elected by the first district, of which Jackson county was part at the time of the last congressional election, has introduced bill chang ing the place of holding the federal court in the Northern division of the Eastern district of this state from Batesville to Newport.
 The bill has the support of nearly | every attorney in the counties repre- sented in this division of the Arkan- sas federal court. Petitions praying for this change were taken to the va rious counties by public spirited citi- zens of Newport, who had no trouble in securing the signatures of the members of the bar, practicing in this court, as Newport is more accessible point, being upon the main Ii ,e of the Iron Mountain, while trip to Bates vile consumes an additional day un on the Cushman branch.
 Among the enterprising citizens of Newport, who have labored in this behalf the past summer and whose names and services should be known to an appreciative public, are Hon. orables T. J. Watson, M. M. Stuckey, G. A. Hillhouse and Judge J. w. Phillips.
 The work of circulating these peti- tions was not given publicity, that Batesville might not be aroused to a fighting mood, but these prelminaries having been accomplished and the scene of the struggle transferred to the national congress, it becomes in order that the public may be inform ed.
 Let Newport people pull every string at their command to secure the passage of this bill. This city is en- titled to the seat of the court for this division, being the most accessible on account of its railroad advantages and the most convenient center of the ter ritory involved.

CHUTE TENDERS STRIKE.
fopiar Bluff Citizen.

'fopiar Bluff Citizen.
 The tenders at the coal chutes on the Iron Mountain struck late Satur day night on account of the extreme cold and the refusal of the company to furnish them stoves. The fall in the temperature made the elevated position of the chutes almost unten- able, and, as the men could not leave the chutes, they hal no opportunity to get warm. They presented their grievance to the az nt, who failed to comply, and the flinders walked out in body. The southbound Memphis bxpress was held here until 8 o'clock Fin the morning on account of the strike. The coal in the tender ran out, the coaches assumed an arctic temperature and the passengers swarmed out of the coaches and took hand in abusing the company.
 Finally enough sectionmen were secured with which to man the chutes and traffic was resumed. The amus- ing part of the incident occurred when the day force came to work.
