CUBANS PLAY FOR TIME.
VIII Send Commission 10 washing
ton TO Report Back 10 the
C'OnEPnffOu

Havana. April 13s--At the opening of to-
days secret session of the constitutional
Convention Senior Nunez asked that tho
convention either reject or accept the
Platt amendmentas the resolution adopt
ed yesterday was not a formal declaration
and was misleading. The conservatives
considered the resolution practically re
jected the amendment, while the radicals
and the radical press maintained that it
did not, and Senior Nunez, therefore, ask
ed that yea and nay vote be taken This
was opposed by the radicals, who have
always avoided taking a decided stand.
The Conservatives were pleased at the
point, and as a split was threatened
among the Radicals, a compromise was
offered and agreed TO by the terms of
which a resolution was adopted that the
convention should not express itself either
for or against the amendment and that
a commission be sent to Washington to
reach the best possible agreement with
the President. This commission will not
be authorized to settle definitely the ques-
tion of the relations between the United
States and Cuba, but will report back to
the convention.

The American Proposition.
CLAIMS OF THE POWERS.
What They Demand From China for
War E1penses Alone.

Berlin, April 13.-The correspondent OF
the Associated Press hears tonight from
an authoritative source that the Chinese
indemnities for war expenses, exclusive
of the claims of private individuals and
missions, have been fixed as follows:
Russia 500, 100000 marks (about S9O0OO,-
OOM; France, 260 100000 marks (about 500
OOO.COO; Germany, 24O.O00OO0 marks (about
S6O.OOO, COO; England, &C, 100000 marks (about
81, 500, GOO.
France will also present claims for the
indemnity of the italian mission.

WHAT CHINA MUST PAY.
Amount Fixed Stated to Be $500, O,OOO,-
OO0-RusSia's Claim the Heaviest
and Ours the Smallest.

Washington, April 13.-The last advices
to the State Department from Mr.. Rock
hill contain further details respecting the
amount of the indemnities claimed from
China by the Powers. 1t appears that
these claims have been much exaggerated
in some statements, though the sum total
Is still far in excess of the amount of
money it is believed here China can raise
1t is the belief Of the State Department
that the total claims should not be al
lowed to exceed $50, ,OOO,O 900 or 5000 600, ,OOO
There is not as yet confirmation of the
report from Pekin that the interna ational l
commissioners have fixed upon $500, ,OCO, 900
as the limit of China's ability in the mat
ter of raising funds. According to infor-
nation received here the British claim,
SO far as formulated, is reasonab Die in
amount as compared with other claims
In fact, the United States, Great Britain
and Japan represent in these negotiations
the moderate element whose desire it is
to prevent the imposition of charges that
shall destroy the Chinese government and
result in the division of China.
None of the claims is in excess of $780,
O00,OO0 and even the largest is something
less than this amount. This is believed
to be the Russian claim, which is fixed
at $50 100000. The German claim is flexible,
ranging between $60,0000OO and $50, 900 OOO,
but it is nearer the former mark at pres
ent though it doubtless will gro,-. AS
already stated the claim of the United
States is $25, 100000, and it will be seen
! that if the remaining Powers are to be
| allowed a proportionate share. the aggre-
| gate will be beyond China's ability 10 pay.
! Nothing has yet been determined re-
specting the method of raising the indem-
nifty fund even after the agreement is
reached.
The American Proposition.
There is reason to believe that the ker-
mel of the American proposition touching
the distribution Of the indemnity funds
| between the Powers is found in a sugges-
tion that the allotment be made upon the
! basis of the number of troops actually
| employed by each Power in the relief OF
| the legationers. By this scheme, the
| forces brought into China since the occu-
patton of Pekin are diseragred as being
| entirely unnecessary to secure any Lawful
and unanimously desired end. On this
basis Great Britain would rank first, ia
! pan next, the United States third, and sc
| on.

Only PauSlng.

See him pausing for moment
AS if weary worn with palm,
'Tis an old man, trembling, feeble,
Leaning forward on his cane.
Years are furrowed on his features
And his locks are white as snow,
Yet his thoughts are now returning
To the happy long ago.
Once again on Fancy's Dinions
He returns to youth and home.
To the cottage of his fathers
And the hills he used to roam.
Voices now are touching, thrilling,
Like long forgotten tune,
And with loved ones he is roaming
Meath the sunny skies of June.
Still he pauses, fondly dreaming,
OF love scene never told.
Tender eyes again are beaming
And he is NO longer Old.
Pass him gently, do not whisper,
Ah, the spell is broken now.
Tol Sl5llS eihllSCS upW
Draws his hand across his brow.
Twas but fancy only dreaming
For Those scenes are far AWAY.
Youth and friends have hong departed
He is feeble old and gray.
Once again he glances upward
Needless of the passer by,
See his lips are trembling, moving,
And a tear is in his eye.
Looking NOW into the future
Still another scene is drawn,
There lis rest and peace forever.
Just a little farther on.
There the old friends all are waitinl
No more signing, tears or pain,
He is almost at the crossing
And he smiles and lifts his cane.
