Framing Cuban Constitution
The Monroe Doctrine Nay be
Favored by the Consti1u,
tional Convention.

Ha5apa, Jan 2-The Cuban COZ
stitutional convention is considering
two promulga,ions of the future rela-
tions between Cuba and the United
States Oue of these afirms. in the
first place, an acceptance of the Mon
roe doctrine and the establishment of
friendly relations with all nations,
together with q resolution to proceed
in all cases in complete accord with
the United States In the second
place, it proposes to pat at the dis
posal Of the United States portion
of the shore of any bay on the north
coast an6 of two bays on the south
coast for naval stations, together with
concessions sufficient in extent for
the purposes of defense and santa.
ton In the third place, it declares
that Cuba will place herself on war
footing to help the United States in
case such assistance should be need.
ed. while fourth proviso lie an ampli-
cation of the first, second and third.
The other PRONUNCIATION contem-
plates:
"Fi,st, That the convention is
vested With authority only to con
vene.
Secopd Not having been granted
legislative functions, the convention
cannot arrange the bseis of future re
latiops
Third Nevertheless, should Wash
ington prefer such q discussion the
convention is willing to discuss and
agree upon an arrangement of mutual
relations
Fourth The aspirations of the
convention are merely to consolidate
the country for reconstruction. It's
energies are directed toward sup
porting the avowed policy of the
United States to which Cuba is bound
by indestructible ties of gratitude,
said policy being based upon the
unequivocsl preservation of liberty
and independence throughout the
American continent
The former promulgation embodies
the desires of delegates friendly to
the United States The latter is a
counter check to the extremists It
is considered that the former is likely
to carry

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST.

The manufacturers Record Of
Baltimore in its last issue says:
In order to fully cover the rapid
advancement of the great South
west, the Manufacturers Record
has put a special CORES pendent,
Mr.. Albert Phenis, in that terrific
ry. His letters will broadly cover
the whole South west, and give to
our readers from week to week a
graphic story of conditions as they
exist. The wonderful natural re.
sources and the rapid upbuilding
of Texas aud Arkansas aud the
Southwest generally are hardly
appreciated by the people of the
East, and hence to many the facts
which Mr.. Phenis will give from
week to week will prove something
of a revelation. The simple fact
stated in his letter published today
that the cotton crop of Texas for
the lint alone will this this year
yield $40 for every MAJ, woman
and child in the State is of itself
calculated to arrest attention. 4
State which has one crop of such
magnitude, and whose soil pro-
duces almost every other crop
known to temperate climate, and
whose mineral and timber reSOur-
ces are sufficient to create even
more wealth than its agriculture,
is a Stale which must be reckOned
with in forecasting the future of
our country.
