And flowers of laughter bloom beside the way
And must pluck my share whateer betide

Cuban Convention Yields.

Havana, May 2S-The Platt amend
ment was accepted by the Cuban Con-
stitutional Convention today by vote
of Is to IA. The actual vote was on
accepting the majority report of the
committee on relations. which embod-
led the amendment with explanations
of certain clauses.
The Radicals made hard fight at
the last moment, and Senores Portu-
ondo, Gomez and Tamayo bitterly ar
raigned the Conservatives Senor
Tamayo was particulrlv vindictive and
declared that everybody who voted in
favor OF the Platt amendment was a
traitor to his country. The Conven-
tion compelled him to retract this
statement. On several occasions per-
sonal encounters seemed imminent.
Senor Gomez spoke for more than an
hour, and his speech undoubtedly won
over Senores Castro, Robau and Man
duley. He appealed to the patriotism
of the delegates and rehearsed the long
fight for independence, denouncing as
perjurers all who favored the Platt
amendment, on the ground that they
IldC SWO1Il W NicN SOHSt4I1UlO
for an independent republic.
Several Conservatives rose and asked
Senor Gomez to retract, but he abso-
lutely refused.
The following delegates voted
against the majority report: Gomez,
Gener, La Cret, Portuondo, Mandulev,
Cisneros, Ferrer, Foortun, Roban, f.
Tamayo, Silvia, Castro, Zayas and
Aleman.
Senores Rivera and Bravo were alb
sent.
The Convention will continue its
sessions, which will be devoted to
drawing up the election law.
La Discussion in an extra this even
ing exclaims: Now will come imme
diate independence. .

The Privilege Tax.

The privilege tax receipts this year
show that more guano was washed into
the sea by the May freshet than in any
year since the State has been exacting
this royalty for the inspection of fertl--
lizers.
This tax is 25 cents a ton, avowedly
to pay for the chemical examination Ct
the fertilizers to protect the farmers
from adulterated fertilizers. By this
means is accumulated sum which
very nearly pays the running expenses
of Clemson Collge where tie stuff is
analyzed. >.
The total amount received from this
source since the first of the year IS
ST.. 525. 43: against s75,2l4 for tie
whole of last year and s65, 497 for 1898.
The receipts for the remainder OF Tie
wear will be very small, yet the fe-
ures show that the sales this year will
be very nearly 10000 tons in excess Ct
last wear.
