ORDINANCE NOT SIGNED
NkXoR MAY VETO STREET RAIL
 WAY PRIVILEGES.
1xspeFty Owners May Petition city'a 1necutive Officer to Disapprove the Measure-Win Take
 His Time.

0E44or Joseph hes not signed the or1inance giving to the MontgpmeEy etroek Railway the right to connect its fraoks on North Perry, Moulton and commeree Streets with the suburban line which 1t has recently acquired. The Mayor has had the ordinance for 6pyerals days, but he is considering it and may possibly take the ten days allowed him before acting upon 1t. ssfWhen asked yesterday by an Adver- tiser representative if he had been ask cd to veto the ordinance the Mayor replied that he had not, but that he Ind been asked to sign it. He said he saw no reason for haste and would take time to consider whether 1t, was for the, best interest of the city or not that the ordinance should become operattve.
 J It has been learned from an authori- tattve source that an effort will be made by persons owning property on Commerce Street to have the ordinance vetoed as the proposed connections and turnoase ca that street seem to be 41e main contention and cause of op- position to the granting of the prirf- 1eges. 1t fs said that a petition is be- ing gotten up which is to be signed by every property owner and business mar in that part of the city asking &he Mayor to veto the ordinance and not 70 allow any more tracks on Com mercs Street.
 The Mayor gave no intimation as tn what he would do about the ordinance. but he sindicated that he was willing to hear argument and to get the facts in reference to the matter. ID

Men are Well Treated.

F. P. Jones being duly sworn, de- poses and says: I was lately employed as a guard at the turpentine camps al Manistee by Jennings Bros. left the service of Jennings Bros. about one month ago. During my connection with the company the convicts were well treated; they were provided with good, wholesome food, such as corn bread. bacon, beans, peas and biscuits, occasionally. I knew John Kelly, alias Benjamin McNeil. He was never whip ped or lnistreated ;n any manner while he was under my charge, and from the best information I can get, he was not whipped at all during his stay at the camps. I have read his statement as published in The Montgomery Adver- tiser of April 27th, and pronounce the statement, so far as it relates to his treatment at the camps of Jennings Bros, as false. I have no connection with or interest in the turpentine busi- ness of Jennings Bros, or the convicts employed thereat.

A NARROW MARGIN.
Platt Amendment Accepted by Gu
ban Delegates.
THE VOTE SHOWS MAJORITY OF ONE.
Radical Members OF the Convention
Fight to the bitter End-Gomez
Refuses TO Retract Harsh
Language.

Havana, May 29.-The Platt amend
ment was accepted by the Cuban con
stitutional convention Tuesday by q
vote of Is to IA. The actual vote was
on accepting the majority report Of
the committee on relations, which en-
| bodied the amendment with explana-
lions of certain clauses.
The radicals made a hard fight at the
last moment, and Seniors Portuondo,
Gomez and Tamayo bitterly arraigned
the conservatives. Senior Tamayo was
particularly vindictive and declared
that everybody who voted in favor of
the Platt amendment was a traitor to
his country. The convention COM
PEELED him to retract this statement.
On several occasions personal .encoun-
tiers seemed imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than
an hour, and his speech undoubtedly
won over Seniors Castro, Robau and
Manduley. He appealed to the patriot
ism of delegates and rehearsed the
long fight for independence, denoun-
cling as perjurers all who favored the
Platt amendment, on the ground that
they had sworn to draw up a constitu-
ton for an independent republic. Sew
eral conservatives rose and asked
Senior Gomez to retract, but he abso-
lutely refused.
The following delegates voted
against the majority report: Gomez,
Gener, Portuondo, Lacret, Manduley,
Cisneros, Ferrer, Forum, Robau, E.
Tamayo, Silva, Castro, Zayas and Ale
man. Seniors Rivera and Bravo were
absent.
The convention will continue it's ses-
sions, which will be devoted to draw
ing up the election law.
La Discussion, in an extra, exclaims:
NOW will come immediate independ-
ence!"
