CUBANS WILL NOT AGREE
TO Terms Suggested by This Govern
ment.

Havana. a.-Senor Capote, president OF
the Cuban constitutional convention,
called upon General Wood and in
formed him that the convention felt
itself in an embarrassing position
owing to the vote in the United
States senate. He said the delegates
had not decided whether to continue
the session or dissolve. General Wood
advised him to urge the convention
to complete its work as originally
outlined, drawing up the electoral
law. The delegates held an informal
meeting and after some discussion
agreed to wait until congress has
acted on the Cuban amendment.
Several delegates on hearing that
congress had adopted the amendment
said this could not affect the attitude
of the convention as its members
would not agree to the scheme of re-
lations suggested in the amendment.
