including democrats as we'll as repub-
licans, was reflected in the following
statement made by Senator McComas,
Just after having had a talk with the
President:
The Cubans are simply standing in their own
light by not accepting the terms of the FIAT
amendment. This amendment was necessary.
Just and ultimate. We cannot change single
one of the provisions of the amendment In jus
tice TO the Cubans themselves. not taking into
consideration our own interests. Each pro
vision is prop to the future republic. If
committee comes up here from the Cuban con-
stitutional convention, l think they viii hnd
that out. They certainly cannot accomplish
anything in the way of modification to the Plat
amendment. They will learn what they ought
to know now, that the President has no power
to repeal or modify an act of Congress. They
are to be treated all right when they visit Wash
ington, but l believe they will 20 back home
with palmer ideas of the intentions of this gov
eminent.
Senator Cockrell, democratic
member of the Senate committee on
Cuba, who has just returned from a
visit to the island, expressed the
opinion that the convention would in
the end accept the Platt amendment,
although, he said, he would not be
surprised if they took several more
indecisive votes before doing so. He
evidently believes that some of the
members of the convention wish to be
persuaded.

President Mckinley has conferred
with number of senators and repre-

of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton on the conditions offered Cuba,
and its deciding to send a commission
to Washington. The President will
courteously receive the commission,
but will make it plain to them that
the conditions offered are final, and
that they must be accepted sooner or
later.

Enworth Convention.

The 10th meeting in the series of twelve
Pentecostal Conventions III Camden DIS
trict was held on Tuesday in Emmanuel
Church. In the morning Rev. b.. {. Lip
pincott, Jr., preached from the text I'VE
would see Jesus" 1t was a very able
discourse and the most effective sermon
OF the day. DIR. Gilmour stated that he
gathered interesting points from it that
he failed to get from a Bishops sermon
from the same text. Rev. H.. Dugan, OF
Bridgeport, led an interesting testimony
meeting in the afternoon, and he was
followed by Evangelist Chas. J. Fowler,
who spoke on being filled with the
Holy Spirit" He npared the actions
appearance and character of an intoxi-
Gated man with one filled with a Cody
spirit. What the Church needs is to be
filled and then there will be no hesitancy
about praise to God. He said he had
Travelled extensively and the spiritual life

sent Timothy to show the Thessalonians,
who had just been converted from idoli-
try, that they needed the second blessing
Of sanctification.
This doctrine, as exploited by special
lists, is not generally accepted by pastors
nor people, and these meetings the past
few years under the auspices of the Dis
trict League have met with little sue
cess in PENIS Grove, Notwithstanding
fair audiences have attended.
