AFTER A long and painful struggle
which they bore with Christian fortl
tude, but being coerced and threatened
with dire calamity, the Cuban constitu
tionsl convention yesterday accepted
the Plat amendment by q vote of 16
to IL. without discussion, and now the
Cubsns fully realize that their dream
of Cuba Libre he's vanished. As the
matter stands the vote Of the conven-
ton meant nothing but the submission
OF the delegates under overwhelming
pressure. 1t is mere echo of the COM
mand Of Congress that has issued
from the convention hall. The prln-
cipal points of the Plstt amendment
are that Cuba shall not permit any for
eign power to obtain foothold on the
island; shall make no debt which 1t can
not pay; shall permit the United States
to Intervene for preserving the islands
independence or maintaining q stable
government; shall leave the title to the
Isle OF Pines to be settled by future
treaty; shall sell or lease coaling sta
lions to the United States. But
even after the acceptance of the
amendment without conditions, men,
oers OF the U. 8. Cabinet say they
believe express belief that other "peces.
ssry conditions" will be compiled with
In short time, and that the evacuation
of the island will be carried out by fall
What other necessary conditions" will
be imposed are not stated.

China is one of those nations which
consume more than they can produce.
So in many things we have turned to
the foreigner for goods that we needed.
Thus, you see, China is the great mar

many things that We do not make"
Continuing, Minister WI said China's
imports OF American cotton we're in-
creasing every year. He said it had
been argued that China was economical
md would not purchase many Amed-
can manufactures, especially those
termed luxuries. Human nature, he
said, is never satisfied, and the Chinese
will buy many things when they come
to know the use OF them. Commerce"

THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 10. 1901
Tuv op1vcrs Of tbs Southern Iodus-

THE OBJECTS of the Southern lodus'
trial Convention, now in session IN
Philadelphia, are to regain the south
ern trade lost to Philadelphia by the
radicalism and bitterness toward her
people of the South during and since
the civil war, and to bring about a bet
ter feeling between the two sections.
But those objects are likely to fail from
the very start II the promoters OF the
convention carry out the programme
introduced at the opening session. On
that occasion, Mr.. Ogden, OF Philadei-
phia. in an address before the Southern
men, spoke on "Popular Education"
and said that "the poor, illiterste white
women OF the South require edu'
cation as much, II not more,
than the negroes" Now to In
yite a man to ones home and then
insult him is the height OF ill-manners
to say the least, and that the Southern
delegates took umbrage at the speech
was most natural, as was also Mr.. Har-
groves reply, who struck back sharply
at Philadelphia, saying her people
should talk less and do more, and ex.
pressed his misgiviugs as to the sue
cess OF the convention. Mr.. Hsr-
groves advice to Philadelphians to
send their commercial men South was
good. for II they come to this section
they will see the fairest land on the
continent and find fully as Intelligent
and educated people, II not more so,
as those they leave at home. 1t is safe
10 say that within radius of one hun
dred miles from Philadelphia there can
be found just as many illiterates 90
there are in a corresponding radius
about Richmond or any other southern
city, but the people of the north have
been educated to believe differently
and don't want to be convinced to the
contrary.

SCANDAL and reprosch are being
daily brought upon this government
by it's army, navy and civil officers to
whose fragrant dishonesty there seems
to be no end. Today's dispatches say
that wholesale frauds. tho extAnt NJ
which neither the army nor police OIL
cisls can guess, have been discovered
10 the quartermaster's department at
San Francisco. Two civilians are AL
teady under arrest and several other
persons, Including some army officers,
are likely to be spprehended soon. A
large supply Of goods stolen from the
army stores has been seized. General
Shafter, Col. M. P. Maus, inspector
general OF the Department Of California,
and Captain Seymour, Of the detective
force, are investigating. 1t stated by
Seymour that collision between promi-
nent army officers will be proved, Of
we'll as widespread swindling In the
matter Of selling government goods
taken from the Preside aud other
places. Captain Seymour said yester-
day: "The government has uuques-
tionably been robbed for long time,
and believe the amount Of the losses
sustained by the government through
the treachery and dishonesty OF some
of its army officers and others will
reach into the hundreds of thousands
OF dollars" In Manila yesterday Lieut..
Henry T. Mitchell, Of the Forty.6rst
Regiment, was arrested and will be
tried by court martial on the charge of
embezzling, at Bacolor, 1927 OF the pub
lie funds. Honest men blush when
they read such accounts.
