Its President Unwilling to Give
Us CoaIing Stations.
ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE
Cuba VIII Not Permit America to Interfere
10 Her Foreign or Domestic Affairs
Demonstration Planned for
Today.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Mendez ca.
pote, the president Of the Cuban con.
stitutional convention. Is quoted in 9
dispatch TO the World as saying, not
in his own official capacity, but as a
member Of the convention, relative tc
the Cuban situation and the islands
relations with the United States:
Il regret that the senate has passed
fiat resolution. II is most distasteful
and betrays total misunderstanding
of the situation. am amazed at the re-
ported declaration Of Secretary Roo;
that the Cubans must agree to the con-
cessions proposed.
II do not believe that the conven-
ton viii yield. Personally I will new
er concede coalirg stations or the right
to control our foreign affairs. They
would mean interference in local affairs
at any time and also the maintenance
of unheard Of relations.
I'VE ask only the fulfillment of the
promise of the United States which was
accepted as it was made. am sur
prised at the utterly false statements
in the American press, which appears
10 be campaigning against us.
1T has Systematically created the
impression that we are ignoring Presi-
dent McKinley's express desires and
falling TO embody in the constitution
his opinions as to the relations which
should exist between Cuba and the
United States On the contrary, the
convention was instructed to consider
these opinions. Subsequently there was
a further suppression of facts and
fabrication Of statements in the at
tempt to convince Americans that we
should accept the terms which Secre-
tary Root presented. Having reject
ed those. the senate's action is intend
ed to frighten us. Whether it will do so
remains to be seen"
A demonstration has been planned for
Sunday to show approval of the con-
venuon's attitude and to pledge sup
port to its policy.
The Diario de la Marina commends
the conventions action and says the
United States demands showed the be-
lief that there was an expressed de- |
sire on the part Of the Cubans to make
the concessions.
That we should surrender our pur-
ses on demand would be no surprise. |
because. b. force one is hanged. But |
that we should wish them taken is
expecting too much. The delegates
have been as logical and dignifed as
the government which rules by virtue
of intervention"

This statement was made by Prof.
n. $, Shaler, Harvards geologlst. in
lecture to six hundred students in
Sanders theater, He predicted that
within the next thirty years there
would be an influx OF gold such as
the world has never known. Prof. Sha-
Ter bases his statement on geological
conditions, combined with recent inn
provements in mining apparatus, He
said in part;
Within the past few years men
have come to realize that large por-
!ion of the earth's surface Is char ged
with gold. Gold is indissoluble and
when gravel banks are cut away it is
not easily carried of by streams to the
sea as is the case with other metals.
Instead, II is carried along. broken up
into finer fragments and gradually de-
posted over alluvial plains.
THE new systems Of mining which
have recently been discovered will have
produced by the middle OF the present
century an almost intolerable supply OF
gold. | cannot say definitely what the
increase will be. but | should think at
the least that the present supply will
be quadrupled. On the continent OF
America alone l have estimated that
:he amount Of gold to be won from
gravel within the next hundred years
will be worth thirty billion dollars.
Up to the present time men have
been greatly handicapped In searching
for gold by the fact that 1t was scat

have been operated in Russia and In
The United States, especially in Lead
vile, Colorado. which have proved be-
,ond question that alluvial soil can be
Drofitably worked for gold.
In the United States there are 5000
o 5000 square miles which will give
miners employment and which can be
accurately depended upon for producing
gold. Similar areas in Russia. India.
Africa and Australia will food the
