resolutions were drawn up and adopted;
Believing that the Almighty God

white man a short time on American

CUBAN CONVENTION
AGAIN IN SESSION
To Discuss Report of Wash
ington Committee.
EARLY ACTION ASSURED

No Doubt That Platt Amendment
viii Be Accepted-Annexati Is
Feared - American Spectators In
Isle of Pines on Anxious Bench.
HAVANA, May 1O.-The constitutional
convention will reconvene today, to dis
cuss the report of the Washington COM
mittee The members who were absent
III different parts of the island have re-
turned and there will be full attend
ance. Some members favor accepting
the report and then passing a resolution
to accept the Platt amendment as un-
derstood in the light of that report,
Sentiment seems to favor early action,
but some discussion is inevitable, and
few of the radical members were op.
posed to the amendments but will not
make fight in the convention.
A majority of the members want to
go forward and adopt an electoral law,
so that the elections may be held in Oc-
tober.
A sharp controversy is heard over the
reports that the members of the COM
mittee sought assurance from the ad-
ministration that the Cuban bonds
would be paid. They deny that this
matter was included IN the conference
with Secretary Root.
Spectators Anxious.
American real estate speculators who
have been selling lands in the Isle of
Pines on the assumption that it was
American territory are nervous over the
prospect of the United States getting
naval stations on the mainland and
abandoning its claims to the Isle of
Pines
General Wood has given a dinner to
the members of the Washington COM
mittee.
Secretary Viluendes, who voted
against the Platt amendment, has writ
ten an open letter, saying that he will
accept the amendment because he fears
the annexation of Cuba.
Bandits continue to be active in the
provinces of Pinar Del Rio and Santa
Clara, owing to the industrial depression
in the country and vagrancy in the
towns.

DISTURBANCES IN RUSSIA
Recent Stories Said to Have Been
Exaggerated.

NEW YORK. May 1O.-A Herald spe-
cial from St. Petersburg says:
The, St. Petersburg dispatch in The
Daily Mail, doubtless made up in Ber-
lin, concerning the supposed labor trou-
bles was grossly exaggerated.
The great meeting of workmen spoken
of never took place. There was some
trouble between the men in the ST.
Petersburg metal works and a guager,
but 1t is not true that the men mauled
him to death. The fact is that he be.
came frightened and leaped from win
and died from fright.
AS regards sinister forebodings Of fur
ther riots among the students, these
youths, whose chief grievance appears
to be that they are not allowed to "paint
the town red'' without let or hindrance,
seem perfectly calmed by the assurance
of General Van Novsky, who is making
a tour of the universities of Russia.
Germany's raids in China cause great
displeasure IN political circles here.
They are regarded as directly prejudi.
cial to the prospect of an early conclu.
clusion of peace.

WILL NOT BLEED VETERANS
No Extortion at Memphis During Con-
federate Reunion.

IeQerate Reun1On.
MEMPHIS, May 10.-At a meeting of
the general executive committee of the
confederate reunion last night letters
were read from out of town people stat.
ing that reports had been circulated to
the effect that visitors would be charged
exorbitant rates by hotels and boarding
houses during the reunion. The follow
ing resolution was adopted:
"This committee, after most thor
ough investigation, denies the report
that the hotels and boardinghouses of
this city have advanced their rates dur
ing reunion week. Rates have not been
advanced, but more people than usual
will be assigned to rooms.
With regard to providing food and
shelter to those old soldiers who do not
feel able to pay their expenses, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
'Any confederate veteran in good
standing with his camp or in his COM
munity, and unable to pay his way, will
be furnished with a badge, lodging and
meals without cost to himself.''

EERSUPPLY MAY BE CUT Off
Disagreement Between South Caro-
lima Liquor Authorities.


CHARLESTON, May 1O.-Unless the
troubles now on between the state board
of liquor control and the county board
are settled in the near future, beer
famine for Charleston may be one Of the
possibilities for the hot summer. The
state board claims the right to appoint
beer dispensers for Charleston. The
county board makes a similar claim,
and there is now an open clash. The
state board, however, has the wider
power, and holds the upper hand, and
if the fight becomes too aggressive, the
state board. which controls all of the
dispensary liquor sold in South Caro-
lima, will retaliate and will not allow
Charleston any beer depots. This would
force the sale of beer through the dis
pensary channels, and would chop off
the supply for the 500 blind tigers in
Charleston from which the consumers
buy beer in summer.
AT a recent meeting the county board
elected J. S. Farnum, formerly of Ma
con, as the official beer dispenser. The
state board elected l. @. A. Roesseler,
who is already operating beer bottling
ablishment. 1t was said today that
CAOAO 10 a OAAhNO Ohe1C th0 VlO0OAOS 10"
tween the two boards can be settled,
but unless this is done the famine will
come.
The beer business in Charleston would
be paralyzed if the bottling establish
ment should be closed. While there is
little or no difficulty in smuggling in
whisky, it is a difficult task to get In
the beer, and without the depots the
business would be crippled, The citv
would be without the cold beverage in
summer, and the troubles of the blind
tigers would force up the price.

the present contest for county division.
II. NJ. Lichty, Sunnysde--I am OPP
posed to the division OF Yakima county
on the following grounds. % We are
now improving our farms, establishing
homes and cannot afford to take the
matter up, even if it would reduce our
taxes, but (2) 1t would increase our
taxes. Yakima county is building us
bridges and stands ready to aid us in
every way possible In other words we
are getting more than we are giving.
(39 Our country is in a formative period.
We are developing very rapidly and we
don't know now where our population
center is. We have no feeling against
Prosser and when the time comes if that
is the place for our county seat, it is
quite near enough to Sunnyside to serve
our purpose. "a No one can yet say

The wheat country of Horse Heaven and

holding off and buying only for immedi-

prices will advance before the new crop
can be put on the market, and that the
crop OF 1900 will be well cleaned up by
that time. My trip was a pleasant one
