LIKELY TO VISIT THE UNITED STATES
NEXT FALL AND SPEND THE
WINTER IN WASHINGTON.
tBY TELEGRAPH no THE 4RrBrxr.I


Washington. May 24.-Aguinaldo is likely to
come to the United States next fall and spend
the winter in Washington. This information
reached the War Department to-day in the mail
from Manila. He has informed General Mac
Arthur Of his desire to visit the United States
for the purpose of studying American institu-
tions and meeting American statesmen. with
view of being more useful to his people in
the future. No objection to granting this wish
at the proper time has occurred TO the authori-
ties Manila, who regard the proposition with
marked favor. For the present. however. and
until after the civil administration of the island
is firmly established, 1t is not contemplated that
Aguinado should be relieved from the restraint
that is now regarded as a guarantee Of his own
safety.
1t appears that AguinaldO has been Influenced
tc visit Washington by Judge ATellano whose
loyalty 10 the United States IS unquestioned and
who believes that a study Of the economic and
political conditions in this country by the former
insurgent leader will be extremely beneficial in
the development of the archipelago

DELAY ALLOWED SIR THOMAS
THE CUP RACES WILL BEGIN ON SEP
TENDER 81

The challenge committee of the New-York
Yacht Club met yesterday afternoon to discuss
the request of Sir Thomas Upton for further
time to prepare his challenger after her partial
wreclling Wednesday. The members of this
committee were unanimous in saying that Sir
Thomas should have every chance to get his
boat ready Earlier in the day further cable
message was received from the challenger, and
was read at the meeting. This thought to in
dicate that Sir Thomas had decided to abandon
part of the time he had calculated on for the
purpose of practising his vessel before the con-
tests as in the last message he states his readi-
ness to take only a months postponement in
stead of the six weeks asked for in the message
of the previous day. He adds. however, tina.
the boat cannot be completed for practice racing
in less than six weeks. His message of yester-
day as follows:
On considering matter, although cannot possibly

me one months grace. say till September L. this
would be agreeable to
After the committee had talked the whole
matter over they cabled Sir Thomas follows:

The two cable messages from Sir Thomas sup

bers of the club here could arrive at what Sir
Thomas intended TO do. and il suggested in

said when asking for postponement till October:

though this would scarcely be satisfactory. The
postponement ask for is minimum possible -
II was calculated that the six weeks of re-
hitting would bring Shamrock II to sailing
ability again about July ;, which would allow
about two months and a half for the passage to
America and the tuning up of the racer on both
sides OF the ocean, besides altering the vessel
TO the ketch rig and back again to the cutter
rig This was thought to be a pretty short
time. and in case of any further accidents to

TBY THE TRIBUNE.1
Havana, May 24-The Constitutional Conven-
ton this afternoon rejected Gualberto Gomezs
minority report against the Platt amendment
by 10 to O. This represents about the real senti-
ment of the members in favor of acceptance,
though, it is affirmed this vote will not be so
large. as several delegates want to dodge plac
ing themselves on record positively. Two or
three who voted against the Gomez report did
on the ground that 1t is extreme, but they
want some modification of the majority report
in favor of acceptance.
To-day's action is significant showing that
the Radicals have lost their power to hold the
convention in a position Of indefinite opposition.
Gualberto Gomez made final and fervent ap-
peal, and other speeches were made. The Rad
icals accept the result phiosophcally, and say
they will not oppose early vote on the main
question. This is expected on Monday.
The majority Of the Committee has made some
changes in the form of its report but not in
the substance.
The Santiago municipality has teegraphed
General Wood favoring acceptance of the
amendment.

1t has long been known that
healthy blood acts as a germ-liller in
a remarkable degree, and that to this
property may be ascribed our freedom
and safety from the attack of many
of the microbes of disease which gain
admittance to our frames. To what
this disinfectant property of the
blood is due is an open question. II
may be due in part to the action of
our white blood corpuscles in eating
up and devouring the microbes that
may gain admittance to the circula-
tion, while other authorities hold that
the fluid (or lymph of the blood is
the real seat of the germ-killing pow
ers. Recent Investigations have
shown that on plague germs the blood
apparently exercises no power, but as
regards typhoid germs and those of
cholera it does possess germ-killing
properties. This research is not con-
cluded, of course, but il may serve to
show us the reasons why we escape so
frequently from the cloud of microbes
by which, in civilized existence, we
are perpetually beset.-The Scotsman.
