WILL HAVE MANY OFFICIALS.
Cubans Busy Discussing Electoral
Law for New Republic.


Havana, June 30-Duriug the coming
week the constitutional convention will
discuss the electoral law The project sub
mitted by the commission provides only
for the election of congressman, COVER
nors, state representatives, mayors and
councilmen. No agreement has been
reached as to whether or not to elect the
president and senators by direct popular
vote.
The discussion of the electoral law un-
doubtedly will open up an argument by
the conservatives against federal repub-
lie with many provincial officers as en-
failing heavy expenditure. The conserva-
tives will oppose granting absolute au-
tonomy to the provinces and municipali-
ties. An effort will be made to change
the constitution and to invest the CEN
trail government with appointive and veto
power.
Universal suffrage seems to be popu-
lar movement, but the general opinion is
that it will be impossible to get the con-
vention to change the form of voting.
Gov Gen. Wood is improving but his
physicians advise him to desist from
public duties for time. He received the
cabinet secretaries yesterday and to-
day.

TEN TSlN OVERCROWDED.
An American Trading Company's
Claim for Damages Looks Ffshy.

~A" hor DamaSes Looks Eishy.
Tien Tsin, June S0.-The city of T1en
Tsin is more crowded than ever Officers
of all nations are here en- route for their
homes and the hotels are placing cots in
every available place
Apartments have been prepared at the
University of Ten Tsin for Prince Chun
and his suite of forty, who will remain
there for three days before leaving for
Germany to make formal apologies for
the murder of Baron Won Ketteler.
Mr. DENLY, who, when the foreign
troops arrived, was appointed by the
China Merchants Company to protect
their property, says the company in
their claim against the United States
government do not use the word "lost"
against the marines, but merely hold
them responsible. The greater part of
the company's property consisted of rice
which was afterward distributed, under
orders from the British and American
generals. to assist those in. need Mr..
DENLY thinks the company's claim should
nave been added to the indemnity as legi-
innate expenditure
Other Tfen Tsin merchants say the COM
pany never had 100000 taels of worth of
property here.
Had Its VaIuabIes Stored.
1t is pointed out that the company
stored three boxes of valuables with the
Chartered Bank before the troubles began
and did not withdraw these until October
and that consequently it is quite improb-
able any jewels were left to be looted.
Moreover, the place was thoroughly gone
through by local looters before the allied
forces arrived.
1t would be legally impossible to hold
any portion of the relieving force respon-
sib.e for anything but the rice and coal
which were used as a military necessity
to feed Chinese coolies, who were forced
to labor and also those who were with
out means of livelihood.

RUssIA's POSITION UPHELD.
Official journal of Finance Charges
Gage with Unfairness.

st. Petersburg, June 30-Confirming
statements already telegraphed 10 the AS
sociated Press, the Journal of Commerce
and Industry, representing the Russian
Ministry of finance, explains Russia's at
titude toward the American duty against
British paraffin manufactured from Rus
sian naphtha.
The article says that Secretary Cages
measure was "manifestly designed as a
reprisal," adding that this supposition is
strengthened by the fact that article 626
had never been previously so construed.
1t asserts also that Mr. Gage did not
mention Roumanian naphtha, which is
likewise imported into Great Britain The
contention, therefore. is that Russa's an
swer in raising the duty on bicycles and
rosin is justihable.
