THE CUBAN CONSTITUTTON.
HOW 1T WILL PROBABLY BE TREATED IN
CONGRESS.

Washington Jan. 19-The reports from Ha
vana that the Cuban constitution may be COM
pleted in time TO be considered at this session
of Congress has led to discussion In Congress
circles as to the procedure likely to be adopted
a document of this character. 1t is expected
that the constitution will be forwarded 10 the
President and by him submitted to Congress,
probably with recommendations In the House
the understanding prevails that any action on
the subject would be framed by the Insular
Committee. But it is not clear what action, if
any. is called for relative to the constitution Of
what is held to be foreign territory. except as
it contains provisions regarding the United
States.
Chairman Cooper of the Insular Committee
says it would not be for Congress to pass upon
ratify the constitution. it is for the Cubans
to do this for themselves, He thinks it prob
able. however, that a declaratory resolution
could he framed expressing the views of Con-
gress as to the suficency of the constitution in
insuring a stable and pacific government for
Cuba, and perhaps laying down the general
plan Of turning over the island affairs TO the
Cubans their constitutional system
is put into practice. In this. however. the pur-
pose would Eot be so much TO pass the
stltutlon as 10 see that the United StateS's
pledges OF a pacific government were carried
out. In case the constitution provides for an
American protectorate, or gives other provis-
ions relating to the United States special aC tion
might be required beyond the mere resolution
approving the system proposed.
Chairman Knox of the Committee on Terri
tories expresses the belief that there is MT the
slightest chance Of advancing tho constitution
so that il can be considered at this session of
Congress. and he expects a Fabian policy Icy
which the Cubans will SLOWLY perfect their sys-
TEN and the United States will gradually Ccier-
-aine upon the ultimate relations whieh are to
exist between this country and Cuba

NEW -NEXICO DIAMONDS Not REAL.
AMATEURS HAVE MISTAKEN CRYSTALS OF
QUARTZ FOR THE PRECIOUS GEMS

Real diamonds have not been discovered,

T. Kunz, the diamond expert. at his home No. PA
East Thirtcenth-st. Mr.. Kunz. who is special
agent IN charge OF precious stones for the United
States Geological Survey. and general expert for
Tiffany & Co, continued:
None OF the reports which I have received show
the existence of diamond fields in New-Mextco.
II is quite probable that have been made.
The diamonds which supposed TO have been
found probably minute crystals of quartz of Il
quality peculiar certain parts of Arizona. In
these crystals the prism is almost entirely absent
that the two pyramids make up the entire
crystal Thus the crystal is twelve faced instead
OF having eight sides. In spite of this fact the
stones strikinSly resemble the octahedraI diamond.
Over a of these specimens have been sent to
me for examination. The fact that these crystal
bits are found in decomposed volcanic rock is one
of the chief reasons why amateurs believe them
TO be precious stones"
