THE FEELING IN CUBA.

HAVANA, March 1.-Senor Capote,
president Of the Cuban constitutional
convention, called on Governor General
Wood this morning and informed him
that the convention felt itself in an
embarrassing position, owing to the
vote in the United States Senate. He
said the delegates had not decided
whether to continue the sessions or to
dissolve.
Gen. Wood advised him to urge the
convention not to take any rash ac-
ton, but to complete it's work as orig
inally outlined, drawing up the cleo
toral law.
This afternoon the delegates held an
informal meeting and after some dis
cussion agreed to wait until Congress
had acted on the Cuban amendment.

MANILA March 1.-Twenty-one
rebel officers and 120 Eolomen have
surrendered to Lieut.. Desque, of the
Forty-seyenth United States volunteer
infantry at the town Of 1rocin, in AL
bay province, southern Luzon.
The Federalists are securing many
new members for their party in La
guna province, east of Manila.
The promoters of the conservative
party have published a long address
to Judge Taft, president of the Amer
lean Philippine commission, written
in fiowery and fulsome language, the
gist of which seems to be expressed
in the following paragraph:
I'VE confess to being distinct from
some Of those men who are co-operat-
ing with the American government for
peace in that particular which refers
to the maintenance against r~estric-
tons and exactions of orr programme,
which places the maintenance Of the
peace subject to a compliance with the
conditions which were led to a point
whence there is no outlet. We believe
there is no better means of perpetual
ing than an absolutel and uncondition-
al adhesion as younger brothers, and
as conditions may admit this country
can be raised to the level of it's as
piration, blessing the hand which
strengthened it and kissing the hand,
if it so deserves, that cut asunder
the last cord of its dependency and thus
converting it into its own equal"
Vassaili Verestchagin, the Russian
painter Of battle scenes, has reached
the Philippine Islands searching for
new war pictures. He has called upon
Gen. Macarthur. Verestchagin is ia

Whereby the Old soldiers VIII rake
Part in the inaugural Ceremonies.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The dis
pute between the inaugural commit
tee and the war veterans over the
matter of precedence in the parade
Monday, resulted to-day in a compro-
mise under which the veterans will
take part to a certain extent in the
ceremonies. At a conference between
Secretary Root, Gen. Francis V.
Green, grand marshal of the parade,
and Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, it was de-
cided that the local and visiting Grand
Army veterans will form the honorary
escort to the President from the White
House to the capitol on the fourth Of
March. The further conclusion was
reached that the veterans will not par
t~iciuate in the afternoon parade on
the return from the capitol to the
White House, but after the procession
has passed through the court of honor,
they will be reviewed by the President.
After the conference, Secretary Root
sent the following instructions to Gen.
Greene, the grand marshal of the pa
rade:
Il am instructed by the President to
request that the Union veterans of the

sigh.

The peace conference at The Hague
Of Russia. resulted in the creation OF
an international tribunal of arbitra
tion whose machinery. il is announced.
is now for the first time to be set in
motion. The matter involved is of
small Importance but it is not of small
importance that England and France
ave the two nations directly con-
c.rned There are. in fact. two dis
putes between these two countries to
be settled: One relating to the con-
fiscation by England of the French

other to a misunderstanding between
English and French soldiers in the
Hinterland of Sierra Leone. during
which shots We're exchanged. Much
is it to be hoped that the report is true
and that the workings of this new and
beginning is made there will be good
ground to expect that other nations
will follow the example of England
and France and that more important
disputes will be settled by the court.
Smaller matters than these mentioned
have resulted in great wars in the
