 In any event many Republicans are very anxious to put off a decision until next fall at least, in the hope that something may turn up by that time that will enable them to avoid surrendering the island. One of the leading Republicans of the Commit tee on Relations with Cuba who is probably more familiar with the sub ject than any other member Of the Senate said that he questioned the wisdom of the President in proposing to transmit to Congress tho new Gu ban constitution as soon as receiv- ed.
 There is not one word in that con sitution, remarked the Senator in quesi1on with considerable feeling, ito indicate that the United States has befriended those people at great sacrafice of life and treasure Ii the President consuItS the best in terests of this country and is guided by the prevailing sentiment in Con- gress he vii ldeeline to receive their constitution until it contains certain provisions which will specially recog- nize the part this government has played in securing independence for them,
 In effect, what the President is being advised to do is to lock up the copy of the Cuban constitution when IL reaches here and intimate to the Cubans that they cannot have an in- dependent government until they manifest disposition to protect the interests of the United States in their constitution. That is to say, he is asked to coerce the Cubans indi- reetly.

Believes That the Bridge Would Not Be Worth It's Cost-Invest the

Editor Graphic: When the build ing of free bridge across the river at Pine Bluff was first spoken of, considered it as a joke, but now the building seems to be seriously con templated, and the circulation of pe- titions to the County Court favoring the erection, is said to have been commenced through the Commercial
 League. Is it for [ moment to be supposed that the property owners of Jefferson County are willing to inn pose a large tax upon themselves and for a number of years for such a Nlrpose? Who are to be the bene- tclarles of this expensive project?- a few business men of the city. E. D.
 Fluker, who has recently become the purchaser of the Walt place, and a few farmers living on the North side of the river, say from Plum Bayou to the city, and extending eastward
 from six to eight miles from the river. Is it just that the property owners of Barraque, Jefferson, Wash ington, Spring Niven, Talladega.
