CURA'S RELATIONS WITH U. <.
Proposition to Deaf With the Issue in
 Three Divisions.

Havana, Feb. 22.-Nothing definite has been decided on regarding the question of future relations. Many of the delegates assembled in the convep- tion hall this afternQon to talk over the matter informally. Most of them seem to be impressed with the conviction that if the convention stood out vigor- ously for absolute independence the United States congress would support them.
 The special committee on relations has instructed it's secretary, Senor Juan Gualberto Gomez, to draw up propo- sition and submit the same to the com- mittee for consideration tomorrow. This proposition will, it is understood, deal with the issue in three leading di- visions:
 First, that Cuba shall not be made the base of war operations against the United States.
 Second, that the commercial treaty with the United States shall embody as far as possible free trade between the two countries, and
 Third, that no foreign treaties shall be made jeopardizing the independence of Cuba.
