Especial objects Of Her
,' SOliCitudo,

Topeka, Kan, Feb. Chief Of pe-
lice Stahl and Sheriff Cook went
around to the keepers Of the joints
Tuesday night and insisted that they
close until the Nation excitement
blew over. The jointists promised.
but last night they were open as wide
as ever. Mrs. Nation announces that
she has some plans for future action
which will make the jointists remem-
Der that she is still in the city, but,
of course, she does not divulge them.
Mrs. Nation spent most Of the day
yesterday in visiting the different
jails Of the city and praying and talk
ing with the inmates. The drunk
prisoners were the objects Of her es-
peeial solicitude, and she talked to
them in motherly fashion. Some Of
them sobbed while she exhorted them
to live better life and many Of them
promised that in the future they
would not drink any more liquor.
The Home Defenders, which is the
organization formed by Mrs. Nation,
held another secret meeting yester-
day to which no one but members
with the pass word was admitted.
Mrs. Nation has received some Gu
rious letters and kilograms, but now
she. is receiving hatchets Of many
different makes. A man in Junction
City, Kan, sent her a Ratchet yester-
day with many contrivances on II
which will tend to make it a danger
GUS weapon for the joint-smashing
business.

e Warrington, Feb. 12.-Secretary
Root has sent to Gen. Wood . letter
outlining the, provisions which the
president thinks should be made in
the Cuban constitution. He mentions
/ specifically several points which this
government desires to have definitely
determined before the Cuban consti-
tuition is-approved. One Of the pro-
visions relates to naval stations Of
which the United States shall be con-
ceded tho use. Another stpulates
that in ito international relations the
Cuban government shall recognize the
right Of the United States to protect
it, own interests. A third matter
which the secretary mentions is the
debt for which Spain obligated the
island when 1t was under her author
ity. According to the secretary's let
ter, the administration believes the
constitutional convention ought to
put in the organic act q declaration
which would deter any foreign nation
Or any bondholders from attempts
TO collect that debt. A fourth condi-
tion Is that the constitution shall bind
the cuban government to vote upon
no loans without approval by the
United states. The latter does not
insist upon . protectorate, but upon
2 reserved right to the United States
70 intervene In those matters, It it
