ELECTORAL BILL ADOPTED.
Cubans in Some Doubt as to Their
Authority to Proceed

Havana, July 31-After lively de-
bate to-day the Cuban constitutional
convention adopted the electoral COM
mission bill submitted by the commit
tee as Whole. Discussion Of the va
rious articles will now begin.
Senior Sanguilly caused a commotion
by protesting against accepting the
project, on the ground that the con-
vention could not assume the authority
therein provided of establishing the
new government and settling disputes
arising out of the first election, as
these matters belonged to the mill
tary government.
Senor Diego Tamayo said the order
cOnvening the convention provided dis
tinctly that the convention should
make arrangements for the turning
over of the government. He
argued also that it was quite natural
for the convention to act as a high
court in election cases.
The question, however was not rails
ed among the delegates as a whole.
Several expressed the opinion that the
law will not be finally adopted until the
return of Gov. Gen. Wood. The con-
vention is inclined to change several
articles. For instance. the article de-
fining the eligibility of candidates to
offices will be made to read clearly
that Spaniards who did not inscribe
shall be placed in the same category
as native Cubans

SAN FRANCIsCo's SITUATION.
The Strikers Have Business on the
city Front Well Tied Up.


San Francisco. July 31.-There were
but few changes in the local labor sit
uation to-day. Both employers and
strikers are standing firm, and each
side claims confidence in winning with
out drawing on it's reserves. No serious
disturbance of the peace occurred. The
strikers are observing strictly the in
junction to abstain from violence. The
employers hold out no hope for a
speedy settlement of the trouble and
say there is nothing In sight but a
hard battle.
The drivers for the Pacific Transfer
Company were called out to-day. This
will have a serious effect on the hand
ling of baggage. The sand teamsters
were also ordered out. This new devel-
opment may put a stop to building op-
erations throughout the city.
BY the best informed students of the
situation, 1t is declared that the out
come of the contention is mainly de-
pendent upon the coal supply. Only
cne large bunker was in operation this
morning, and it is said there is not
enough coal in the city to meet the
demand longer than two weeks.
The City Front Federation granted
permission to-day to a number of teams
to haul coal to the lighthouse tender,
so there will be no stoppage of the
lighthouse service. Permission has
also been granted to the charitable in
stitutions and hospitals to receive sup
plies hauled by union teamsters. While
five steamers are being loaded to-day,
the general appearance of the harbor
is one of inactivity.

America.
London, Aug. 1.-The Daily Express
publishes an interview with Cardinal
Gibbons, which it prefaces thus:
"At present his is the only red hat
in the United States; but in a CONVEX
sation with a representative of the
Daily Express he intimated that the
Pope intended making Archbishop Ire
land and Archbishop Corrigan princes
of the church"
Cardinal Gibbons is also represented
as saying:
1.-The Pope Is sure that Washington
will do justice to the church in the
Philippines. He regards the United
States as one of the great strongholds
of the Catholicism and II will have
greater strength hereafter in Vatican
councils.
'The Pope is convinced that the
gathering of population into the towns
and cities is one of the great
est menaces to religion in
the new century. as rural populations
are happier and healthier in body,
mind and morals"

London, July 31.-In the House of
Commons to-day proposing a resolu-
ton granting Field Marshal Earl Rob-
erts G10O,OO0 for his services In South
Africa, A. J. Balfour. the government
leader, in the course of a eulogy of
the field marshal, whom he compared
with such men as Collingwod, Nelson,
Marlborough and Wellington, said
there was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts daring and strategy, and the
rapidity with which his plans were
carried out, Kimberly and Mafeking
would have fallen. 1000 British would
have been starved into submission at
Ladysmith and there would have been
a general rising of dIsloyalists in South
Africa. Great Britain might have re-
covered therefrom. but at what cost?
The country was saved from this by
the genius of the man he now invited
the House to reward by unanimous
vote. irrespective of political differ
ences.
The statement called forth protests
from the Irish members
The Liberal leader Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, concurred in the mo-
ton.
John Dillon. Irish Nationalist, strong
ly opposed the vote. He protested
against mentioning Lord Roberts in
association with such a man as MARI
borough. He declared Lord Roberts had
shown the greatest inhumanity in
South Africa, and said he had employ
ed barbarous methods and had proved
himself dismal failure.
Mr.. Labouchere. Radical, protested
against granting gratuities to military
men while nothing was given to civil
ians who were doing something for
the benefit of their country.
Keir Hardie, Socialist and Indepen-
dent Labor, took a similar view. He
declared that in the opinion of experts
at home and abroad Lord Roberts
failure primarily was responsible for
the continuance of the war,
Swift MacNeil, Irish Nationalist, said
he considered Lord Roberts operations
were conducted with a maximum of
cruelty and a minimum of humanity
and that his farewell speech at Cape
Town was horrible hypocrisy and bias
phemy.
After further debate for and against
the measure Mr.. Balfour moved the
closure, which was carried by 257 to
1OS votes. The resolution was after
wards adopted by vote of 281 to 73.

SCHLEYS LETTER RECEIVED.

Parker Kept Under Espionage.


Washington, July Sit was an
nounced at the Navy Department to-
day that the letter from Rear Admiral
Schley acknowledging the receipt of
the precept TO the court of inquiry and
making certain suggestions with ref
erence thereto had at last been receiv-
ed. No explanation of the delay in it's
arrival and no statement Of it's con-
tents were furnished. Judge Advocate
Lemly simply announced that the let
ter had arrived and would receive con-
sideration. He declined to answer any
interrogatories basing his refusal upon
the order of the secretary prohibiting
officers from discussing the case. Capt
Lemly departs on his annual leave Sat
urday and the supposition is that Rear
Admiral Schley's letter will be conSid-
cred before that time and that what
ever action is TO be taken on the Ad-
mirars representations will be taken
at once.
Capt. James Parker the ex-naval Of
ficer who is acting as Admiral Schley S
assistant counsel to-day continued his
examination of the logs of the ships
engaged in the Santiago campaign, and
other official records pertaining there
to. He occupied Secretary Longs of

shield, chief of that bureau, who is
now acting secretary of the navy.

permitted to communicate with him.
One of the officers of the bureau re-
manned constantly in the room to see
that the official records were not tam
pered with.
Admiral Schley's letter to the de-
partment, together with the reply
thereto, as soon as the letter is pre-
pared, will be made public.

Martial law has been declared in
Venezuela by the President of the
country in consequence of the invasion
of a revolutionary force from Colom-

Up to the hour when the departments
closed to-day the State Department
had not called upon the Navy Depart
ment for a ship to go into Venezuelan
waters. In view of the serious condi-
ton of affairs there and the
unsettled condition in the neigh
boring republic of Colombia 1t is not
improbable that an American warship
will be sent to the scene of trouble for
the protection of American interests.

only ship available at this time is the

of prize winners will be completed to-

VIII Soon Cease.
New York. July 31.-Gen. Leonard
Wood. military governor of Cuba, who
is now on board the dispatch boat
Kanawha preparing for a cruise along
the coast of New England, said to-day
in discussing Cuban affairs:
Cuba is a totally undeveloped island
and has a great future before it. Yel-
low fever, that great bugbear of our
people in the South. in another year
will cease to be epidemic. We have not
had a single case of yellow fever at
Havana this summer, and none in
Eastern Cuba for two years past.
"Cuba's resources require capital for
development. The last enormous sugar
crop was raised on per cent. of the
entire sugar producing land. Only this
small percentage is under cultivation.
We have $1,500,000 In our reserve fund
and can pay all our debts and get out
of Cuba within the next eight months
We have established 1900 flourishing
schools. Two years ago we were obIig-
ed to provide over 100 orphan asylums
to protect the destitute children, since
then we have abolished so and ex-
pect to be able to close more
before we retire from the management
of Cuban affairs. Our troops have been
well cared for and their health COM
pares favorably with that of the troops
in this country, showing that the island
isl healthy. They camp out, undertake
practice marches similar to those of
other troops of the army, and in every
way their condition and behavior has
been admirable. The municipal govern
ments are in order. The judiciary is
entirely reformed and is satisfactory
to the people. The people are gentle
and easily governed. They are affc-
tionate and tractable. Beggars are
never seen. The products of nature
are so liberal that the wants of nature
are easily supplied"

MEET IN BALTIMORE TO-DAY.
Maryland Democrats to Consider
suppression of Negro Vote.

Suppression of Negro Vote.
Baltimore, July 81 The Democratic
State Convention, which will meet at
Fords Opera House, this city, at noon
tomorrow, promises to be thoroughly
harmonious. The only nominations to
be made are the candidates for con-
troller and clerk of the Court of APP
peals. At this time there seems no
reason to doubt that DR.. Joshua w.
Herring will be renominated for con-
troller, and ]. Frank Turner will get
the other place on the ticket.
AS to the declaration of principles it
seems clear that no mention will be
made of national issues. Nothing will
be said about the currency. the tariff,
Imperialism or anything of the sort,
but every plank in the platform will
be confined strictly to state issues.
Prominent among these, it is under
stood, will be the negro
voter problem. Although the
leaders viii not admit 1t there is every
reason for believing that a strong de-
claration Will be made upon this sub
Ject, following closely along the lines
laid down by the Democrats at their
recent convention in Frederick coun-
ty in which ii was declared that the
danger of negroes ultimately holding
the balance of power in Maryland is
imminent unless something is done TO
check their right to vote. The course
of the state administration in con-
vening the general assembly in spe-
cial session last spring for the purpose
OF passing laws to disqualify illiterate
voters and the taking of state CEN
sus will be upheld. The platform is be-
ing very carefully drawn with a view
OF getting every vote possible for the
Democratic nominees for the Legisla-
ture.
