HAVANA, June 27.-The electoral COM
mission appointed by the Cuban constl-
tutional convention to frame laws for the
conduct of Cuban elections, has completed
its work and probably Will present project
of an electoral law TO the convention to-
morrow. The electoral project provides for
universal suffrage and the use of the Aus
tralian ballot system. One article specifies
that the ballots shall be divided into coll
umns corresponding with the number of
political parties in the field and that each
column shall be distinguished by the mark
of a party. in order to prevent the decep-
tion of voters who can neither read nor
write The project further provides that
the electoral boards shall be in the hands
of representatives elected by the political
parties and presided over by judicial func-
tionaries it also prohibits the governmental
power from intruding in the elections. Sail
ors and soldiers of the Cuban republic, as
we'll as all men who by virtue of their Of
flee bear arms. are prohibited from voting.
Of the five members of the electoral COM
mittee Seniors Silvela and Aleman are the
only ones who have taken part in the
drawing up of the projected electoral law.

TO proceed slowly, saying premature ac-
ton will prove harmful to themselves,
and that their efforts should be saved for
that time in the future when the prob
lem of annexation comes up. La Lucha
says that as a natural outcome Of the ex-
listing conditions the United States is de-
termined TO establish a republic in Cuba
whose only limits shall be the Platt amend

Cuban people will then be able to see

ing statement from President Thomas and
added that he was engaged in preparing

though of considerable intrinsic value; that
upon the urgent application of the board,
he and his associate, Edwin n. Gould, had
furnished financial assistance upon ade-
quate securities and upon the assurance
that the obligations of Marquand * Co.
would be made good by this morning; that
the firm named had. however, failed to full
fill expectations, and while he and Mr..
Gould and some of the directors were will
ing TO furnish further financial aid, IL was
not deemed by them just either to the
depositors. stockholders or the public to in
vite deposits and credit until the affairs OF
the bank were again placed upon an abso-
lutely safe basis; that for this purpose
reasonable time was necessary, and TO pre-
vent unfair preference advantages. the
board determined. with the advice of coun-
sci, TO suspend operations for the present.
