New York, Jan, IA dispatch from
Havana says:
A constitution for the new republic of
Cuba will be adopted by the constitutional
convention within the next four weeks.
This is the general opinion among dele
gates to the convention and is generally
understood in official circles. The FIVE
sections of the convention have been meet
ing together and have been discussing the
projects carefully.
All of the delegates say that the CONVEX
ton is agreed on all the principal features
of the final project, which is being pre-
pared by the central committee, and
there is no doubht that SO far as a con-
stitution for Cuba is concerned they will
complete their work within the next few
days.
The center of interest here at present
is the character of the constitution this
body will prepare, and in what light it will
be viewed by the congress of the United
States.
When the convention first received pre-
jects from the delegates for consideration
there were three presented. The ono
presented by General Ruiz nlyera in nam
ing the qualifications for president of the
proposed republic had this provision:
"Any male citizen OF Cuba over 40 years
of age, and who was born in Cuba, will be
eligible to the presidency of the republic"
General Maru in his project Incorporated
the provision which has been accepted.
1t is that any male citizen over 40 years
OF age who was a citizen of Cuba at the
signing of the constitution will be eligible
to the presidency. This provision has
been made TO include General Comes
among those who will be eligible to the
presidency. 1t means that General Maxi
mo Gomez will be the first president of
the Cuban republic if the constitution is
adopted with this provision and if it is
sanctioned by the congress of the United
States.

London, Dec. 30.-The London & Globe
Finance corporation Ltd, has suspended
payment. When the brokers delivered stock
purchased on account of the London 4
Globe and asked for payment they received
checks which were dishonored This was
followed today by the failure on the stock
exchange of ID firms, as follows: Hag-
gard Hale & Pixley, earle & Driver, Doug
las, Jr., & Co., Cornfoot Brothers, F. A
Cohen, Blockey & Buckingham, Gum 4
Aubrey, Richards & Sloper, Baker & Smith,
T. G.. Watts & Co., Flower & Co., F. Boully
& Co. and Bartholomew & jackson.
The first named is big firm with i'm
portant connections. 1t is feared a num-
Der of smaller jobbers will be affected.
While the difficulties of the firms close.
ly connected with the London & Globe di-
vision were largely discounted, the re-
peated fall of the hammer this morning
caused a great sensation. 1t is feared the
full list of failures is not yet known.
Almost the whole interest on the stock
exchange centered in the West Australian
market, the condition Of which sympathet-
ically affected the others. All the shares
OF the London & Globe group toppled, es-
pecially Lakeviews and LIE Roi No. 2
The shares of the latter were quoted at %
but now they are unstable at A. The Lon
don Globe is also heavily involved in the
British Columbian market. The situation
is not yet cleared up as the rumors OF ar
rangements to assist the London 4 Globe
are not credited in we'll informed circles
There is the greatest indignation against
Whitaker Wright, who is the fountain head
of the concern, and others of the London
& Globe group.

Lick Observatory, Cal, Jan. 2.-The
comet recently discovered by Giovanni
Giacopini at Nice, France, in the con-
stellation of Thetis has been observed
here the past week by Mr. Aiken. 1t 10
a faint object of the eleventh magnitude,
md therefore requires telescope of CON
siderable size to observe it. Its perihe-
lion passage, or time of nearest approach,
occurred December l at a distance only
, per cent smaller than the earth's dis
lance from the sun. The plane of its or
bit makes an angle of 81 degrees with
the elliptic and intercepts it in longitude
1873 degrees. The present distance of the
comet from the earth is some 80,O000O0
miles and the distance is increasing. The
brightness is decreasing, SO that there is
no chance that the object will be visible
without telescope.

FLOOD IN THE SUB WAY.
WATER MAIN BURSTS AND DOES CON
SIDERABLE DAMAGE BEFORE
STREAM CAN BE CHECKED.

An elbow Of Pinch water main, that was con-
nected with a Se-inch main running through Lafay-
ette Place at Great Jones-st burst at $40 O'Clock
yesterday morning. and flooded the excavation for
the underground road between that point and
Fourth-st- HOlbroOk. Cabot & DAILY are sub-con-
tractors for the subway from Great Jones Thir-
ty-thrd-st Lafayette Place, through which the
tunnel runs, has been excavated to Fourth-st. The
cut is 70 feet wide and about 30 feet deep. On the
easterly side of Lafayette Place runs the S6-inch
water main On the other side of the street is a
N-inch gas main. two 6-inch gas mains and
electric conduit of the Edison Light Company All
of these are supported by wooden props the ground
having BEEN cut away from beneath them.
The break came without warning A dull roar
was heard and in an Instant a stream Of water was
shooting from the end of the ruptured elbow under
a pressure Of forty pounds the square inch. The
water flowed from the main, IL Is estimated. the
rate of eight thousand gallons a minute II struck
the westerly wall Of the subway. and soon under
mined the wooden props supporting the gas mains
These sagged and parted the gas rushing out
Within half hour on hand from the
Water Department and the gas company. The gas
men quickly shut off the supply but was half
an hour more before the water employees could find
a gate TO the main When the valve was closed
Of the city shut off BY this time nearly half
a million gallons Of water had escaped into the
big trench
The sides Of the subway had been concreted, and
this prevented the from getting the ada
cent cellars except in the Of the Mission OF
the immaculate Virgin, on the northeast corner Of
Lafayette Place and Fourth-st, the cellar of which
was flooded. The fires in the kitchen were eXtin-
gutshed and breakfast for the four hundred boys
which the mission shelters had 10 be obtained

Chief Engineer Birdsan says the sub-contractor
will have TO stand the damage, although the Water
