BITTER DEBATE IN
CUBAN CONVENTION
RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY ON
DEATH OF VICTORIA HAS
MANY OPPONENTS.

HAVANA, Jan. 25.-At today's session
of the Cuban constitutional convention a
resolution expressing sympathy with
Great Britain in the death of Queen
Victoria was introduced It led to some
debate and bitter remarks. The resolu-
ton, which was signed by five delegates
and presented by Sanguilly, requests the
governor general to forward to King Ed
ward VII. an expression of sympathy on
the part of the Cuban people.
Senor Llorente said that while he SYM
pathized deeply with England it was no
part Of the convention to adopt resoIu-
tions of sympathy.
Gen. sSanguilly said that resolution
was adopted by the convention thank
ing President Mckinley; that another had
been offered thanking Gen. Lee, and that
the same precedent could be followed m
this case
Gen. Rivera, who said Gen Lee was
far more deserving of thanks than was
Great Britain" referred to what he
called 'Englands acts of barbarity to-
wards the Boers,'' that she had refused
to recognize the Cubans as nation, and
that by adopting the resolution it may
lay the Cubans open to a slight.
senor Quesada said that Cuba owed
much to England's attitude during the
Spanish-American war, as that attitude
helped to free Cuba.
The convention adopted the resolution,

There were no new developments In tie

reported the Indians keeping quiet. One

Snakes have been reported to the Choc-
taw faction and have had the effect of
dampening enthusiasm. Besides the
Choctaws have no active leader and the
organization is not as perfect as in the
Creek Nation. Gov. Dukes at Fort
Smith, sends instructions to the sherlffs
to arrest trouble makers. Under the
Atoka treaty the Choctaws are amenble
only to their own courts for anything
they do to each other except murder. If
the Snakes whip or maltreat another In
dian the federal authorities of the central
district have no authority to make ar
rests unless a complaint is made against
the offenders of disturbing the peace. 1t
is reported that there Will be a big meet,

is kept secret. No uneasiness is felt
among the whites anywhere in the Choc-
taw Nation. The marshal has a number
of scouts out trying to catch the leaders.
If, successful they win be arrested and
that likely will end the Choctaw insur.

HOTEL GUESTS IN PANIC.
The Commercial hotel only suffered
from smoke and bad fright to its oc-
cupants, who, thinly clad, fed from the
building in fright.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
though it evidently had a good start
when discovered, the entire rear being
on fire when the second call was made.
The threatening aspect of the fire made
necessary the sending in of the third
alarm. Showing the stubbornness of
the blaze and the almost futile attempt
to reach 1T, the fire ate its way through
the building, despite the flood of water,
and broke into a roaring blaze in the
front. Here the water tower was brought
into use, and the flying embers which
threatened surrounding buildings

Mr. Strait reached the scene of the fire
at 1 o'clock, and stated that the loss

The document was issued by local

The confession implicated Seagred o.

warrant for his arrest was sworn out
the next day. Then began a long, diff.
cult search for Olson, who had disap-

upon a plan which resulted in the crimi-

Gov. Barnes received many messages to-

 Jones fainted but soon recovered and swallowed the pills. His hunger had gone The policeman explained this by telling the man from the dark ages that all food was now condensed into tablets In his left hand pockets he carried tab lets which contained porterhouse steaks veal chops, pompano and other luXuries, while on the other side he carried sand wiches, coffee and beer.

The tablet system soon caused the abol- ishment of all saloons. We carry pills containing anything from a mint tulip and a Scotch high ball down to Manhat- tan cocktails and straight whiskey.

 Daniels is called on to interpret the character of the Ameer of Afghanistan, whose waking hours seem chiefly occu- pied first with circumventing the plots of those who would take his life; and, second, by raising cash by means of a crimes bureau, to defray his personal expenses.
