 ed by Failure THEY ASK FOR DONATIONS Determined To Carry the Movement To a Successful Issue-Board of Directors Take Active Steps
 To That End.
THEY ASK FOR DONATIONS

Undaunted by the failure to secure a legislative appropriation for the proposed Confederate Veterans home, the promo- ters of the movement are determined to carry it forward and build the home by private subscription.
 At a meeting of the board of directors of the home held some days ago a com mittee was appointed to draft an appeal to the public in behalf of the worthy in stitution, setting forth the exact situa- ton and asking individual aid. This con- mittee has promulgated an address as follows:
 Birmingham. Ala, March g, 1901. To the Public:
 The board of directors of the proposed home for old and needy Confederate Vet erans and rheir families of the State of Alabama, made an application to the last Legislature for an appropriation to aid them in building this home, but they failed to get any assistance whatever from that body. Therefore. as this board has already received in donations, build ing material of all kinds nearly a sufl- cient quantity to build this home, and hoping for the continued generous aid of all charitably disposed citizens of Ala bama towards these old veterans, have at last determined, with the aid of all these donations. to build this home some- where in this State. regardless of the Legislature and all other opponents to It. With this determination in view, the board of directors of this proposed home did at their last meeting on March 2, 1901, appoint the undersigned committee to advertise in all the papers of this State calling on all persons who are favorable to 1t for donations in cash, material and also In the way of a suit able site for the location of this home. This site being open to any section de- sirable in Alabama, parties having any desirable locations cash or building ma terial they can donate, they will confer favor on these old veterans by com municating without delay with the un- dersigned committed:

 "The, rate of exchange continues on the advance. In Bogota, the capital. it is at 1500 per cent. for national bank, notes, and on the Atlantic coast 260O per cent. for provincial paper cur rency. All the trade has come to complete standstill, the whole popu- lation is in mourning and the govern ment has confscated their property.
 '"The situation is so desperate that everybody Is anxious to see solution, no matter what it may be.

MAJORITY OF ONE.
Cuban Constitutional Convention
Votes for Plat Amendment.
Radical SZembers Made a Hard Fight IN
Defe.st It and Their Speeches at the
Final Session We're Very
Rftfar

Havana, May 29.-The Platt amend
ment was accepted by the Cuban con-
stitutional convention yesterday by a
vote of Is to IA. The actual vote was
on accepting the majority report of
the committee on relations. which
embodied the amendment, with ex-
plantations of certain clauses
The radicals made a hard fight at
the last moment and Seniors Portuon-
do, Gomez and Tamayo bitterly ar
ralgned the conservatives. Senior
Iamayo was particularly vindictive
and declared that everybody who vot-
ed IN favor of the Platt amendment
was traitor to his country The con-
vention compelled him to retract this
statement. On several occasions per-
sonal encounters seemed imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than an
hour and his speech undoubtedly won
over. Seniors Castro, Robau and Man
duley. He appealed to the patriotism
of the delegates and rehearsed the
Hong fight for independence, denounc-
ing as perjurers all who favored the
PIatt amendment, on the ground that
they had sworn to draw up consti-
tuition for an independent republic.
Several conservatives arose and asked
Senior Gomez to retract, but he abso-
lute1y refused.
