MINORITY REPORT DEFEATED.
Cuban Constitutional Convention Turns
1t Down Nineteen to Nine.

1t Down Nineteen to Nine,
HAVANA, May 25.-The minority
report of the committee On relations
was today defeated in the constitu-
tional convention by a vote of 10 to 8.
Tomorrow the majority report will be
read and discussed.
The conservatives believe the final
vote on the latter report will be taken
Monday, but they do not expect to
hold the full strength shown today.
Senior Zayas, in a speech, said the
minority report vas too conservative
and that he could not accept it. 1t is
believed that Senior Zayas may posi-
bly, carry two other delegates who to-
day voted with the conservatives.
The merchants and clubs of Ha-
vana have been contributing literally
for the relief of the Jacksonville suf-
ferers. Persons socially prominent in
Havana will give a benefit, the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to relieving Cuban
orphans and helping Jacksonville. The
produce exchanges tonight subscribed

WAS Midday A LOOTER.
Chafee's InsinuatiOns Bring Ministers tc
Lady McDonald's Defense.
SAYS SHE TOOK ONLY A ROSE
There Were Those With Her Who Swear
She Appropriated Nothing of Value
The Same Charge Against an American
GentIeman's Wife,

NEW YORK, May ga dispatch
to the Herald from Pekin says: The
last general meeting of the diplomatic
corps was the scene of a more acute
phase of the controversy over looting.
The question was raised by the diplo-
mats friendly to Lady Mcdonald, who
thinks a great injustice was done her
by the supposed reference to her in
one Of General Chaffee's letters upon
the subject of looting.
Ministers of two European coun-
tries arose successfully and made
statements as to Lady McDonald's be-
havior on the day of the first visit of
the allies to the Forbidden City, which
were practically identical. They were
with her throughout the day and de-
clared that she left the palace without
any plumber except a yellow rose
plucked in the empress garden.
But" they say, I'VE did, however,
witness one scene of looting, which,
together with Lady Mcdonald, we
tried, but unsuccessfully, to prevent.
In the palace we met the wife of an
American, accompanied by an Ameri-
can curio dealer. We suggested that
the reception was exclusively for the
members of the diplomatic corps, but
she persisted in taking the curio deal
er, whose expert opinion she wanted
upon some of the empress orna-
ments,
Reaching the pavilion the curio
dealer said: Here, 1 am informed,
most valuable porcelain is concealed
I'm spite of the protests of Lady
Mcdonald and ourselves the wife of
the American tried to open the cup
boards. Finally she called an Amer
lean soldier, who pried a cupboard
open with his bayonet, w%hereupon, not
wishing to assist at a scene we could
not prevent, we withdrew"
The American representatives at the
meeting made no reply.

STORM CfNTfRS or STRIKE.
Cincinnati and Pacific Coast Points Most
Affected by MachinIsts.

CluCAanAbA
Affected by MachinIsts.
WASHINGTON, May %. - The
storm centers of the general strike or
machinists throughout the country are
IL Cincinnati, O., and on the Pacific
coast. The number Of firms that have
signed agreements was augmented TO-
day by about a hundred, which brings
the aggregate Of the establishments
making the concessions to 1000 In
round numbers during the past three
or four days. Save in n or W In
stances, as at Scranton, the allied
trades have not yet been affected. 1t
IS claimed at the general headquarters
of the machinists, however, that where
agreements are not effected by this az
ternoon or tomorrow many Of the meA
iE the allied trades will go out in the
individual shops where the machin-
lists are already out. The estimate Of
President O'Connell of the National
Association Of Machinists, as to the
number of strikers today remains at
$4,000 approximately, the same figure
as given yesterday. The executive
board Of the association is in session
here watching the progress of the
strike.
President O'Connell this morning
said: "The reports from all sections
are very favorable. The indications
are that the great majority Of firms
will have reached agreements with the
men today or tomorrow. The dis
patches coming in from various cities
indicate that conferences will be held
today with a large number Of firms.
Many men who were working yester-
day went out today. The additions
made last night and this morning to
the list of strikers and the number
that will return to work this norm
ing with their demands granted will
about balance each other"

Whv Not Go to C.ufornIa?

Here's a suggestion for a holiday
trip:
Buy a round-trip ticket to San Fran
cisco at the reduced rates which will
be in effect on account Of the Epworth
League meeting in that city in July
go west by way of Denver and Salt
Lake City, past all the glorious noun
tain scenery Of Colorado and Utah
spend a few weeks in California
come home via Portland, Seattle, Ia
coma, Spokane and Billings, Mont.
If you have time, stop off and see
Yellowstone Park. A month is sufl-
Gent for the entire trip. In that time
you will see more than most people do
in a lifetime.
And the expense is almost unbelieV-
ably small.
Write for a copy Of the Burlington's
Epworth League folder, which tells all
about it-gives you just the informa-
ton you need about rates, routes,
through cars, scenery, ~stop-overs, etc.

Is Unable to Get Others Approval of q.
S. Indemnity Plan.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Mr. Rock
hill has confirmed the news from
Pekin to the effect that the foreign
ministers have declined to accede to
the suggestion Of the United States
that the total of the indemnity to be
collected from China shall be limited
to 5000, 900, 900.
1t is expected that he will continue
his efforts in the direction Of keeping
down the maximum Of claims, even
while abandoning, for the sake of
harmony, the figures named, and it is
believed that the outcome will be a
compromise on a figure between
5000, 000, 900 and the maximum of $751;
100000 claimed by the powers. In the
effort to keep down the total, Mr..
Rockhill looks for support to the esti-
mates submitted by Sir Ernest Satow,
the British minister at Pekin, and Sir
Robert Hart, commissioner Of imperial
customs, whose report upon the abIl-
ity of China to pay an indemnity of
about 5000, 900, 900 is now before the
state department.
Until the question of grand total IS
settled the matter Of interest to be

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 25.-
In an interview with a representative

"It seems to us that our plan for a
modification Of the demands for in
demnity has been rejected by the
foreign powers, but what will be the
next action of the United States gov
eminent in the affair has not yet been
decided.
"The indemnities demanded by the
European powers seem 70 us to be
excessive. 1t is possible that this
government may yet put forward a
plan for the reduction which will
prove acceptable to the other powers
interested"

NO MERCY FOR China
Powers Do Not Favor the American Idea
Of Decreasing Indemnity.
BRITAIN FAVCRS A REDUCTION
Foreign Ministers Will Consider the Mat
ter Further at Another M~eetInG-The
Present Policy, It is Feared, VIII
Produce Indefinite Delay.

PEKIN, May 23.-The foreign min
listers meeting was very unsatisfac-
tory. No power was willing to ac-
cede to the Americans idea of reduc-
ing the Chinese indemnity G40, 000, 600,
though Great Britain recognizes the
~advisability of some reduction. There
will be another meeting tomorrow.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-The
president and Secretary of State Hay
/ have been in constant communication
with Washington during all their jour-
ney west. Dispatches from our foreign
embassies have been constantly re-
ceiVed and the China situation has
been continually considered. The
president has been anxious lest the
difficulties thrown in the way Of an
agreement by the representatives of
some Of the powers might lead to in
definite delay and a consequent in
crease Of the indemnity to be exacted.
The points to be settled are: First,
the total amount of the indemnity and
the share Of each power. Second, the
method of payment.
In regard to the first point the pres
ident has constantly e~ndeavored to
moderate the demands of the powers
to an amount which China might pay
without financial ruin or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. He has thought that
5000, 000, 900 was the maximum amount
indicated by the best authorities con-
suited and he has proved the willing
ness Of this government to make
every sacrifice in the interest of the
integrity Of China and the restoration
Of normal relations, by cutting down
our already moderate claim onehalf If
other powers would make proportion
ate reduction. These propositions have
not been accepted by the other gov
ernments, though Great Britain has
shown a disposition to a considerate
treatment of the matter.
AS to the method of payment it is
understood that there are various
propositions before the conference Of
ministers in Pekin. One is a loan to
be contracted by China guaranteed by.
the powers, which it is thought might
be foated at 4 per cent with a COM
mission of 5 or 6 per cent. Another
is a loan, not guaranteed, which would
probably require an enormous COM
mission and a heavy rate of interest,
some Z per cent.
Neither of these propositions was
accepted by the president. Two weeks
ago he showed that each of the pow
eIs should accept for it's share of the
indemnity the bonds Of China at par
and with interest at 8 per cent, pro-
vision for meeting the interest and for
eventual payment being taken from
the salt duties, and increased import
taxes. Mr.. Rockhill has now been in
structed to urge these views anew
Upon the attention of mis- colleagues.
The attitude of the British govern
ment, as set forth in the recent
speeches of its representatives in par
lament, indicate that Great Britain
in moderating the demands of the
powers is inclined to accept measures
which, if adopted, may bring the ne
gotiations to a conclusion.
