TWO SECTIONS APPROVED
Unimportant Changes Made in the
Cuban Constitution.
A Motion to Send n Message of SYM
pnfby to England Raises n storm
Citizenship Of Children of.fore'sh
Parents - Provinces to BE Allow
ed 10 Fix Their own boundaries.

HAVANA. Jan 25.-The Constitutional
Convention today approved the project
for a constitution as far as the end OF
the second section, with a few unimpor-
tant notifications.
The third clause of the first section was
supplied, the provinces being allowed to
modify their respective boundaries by
agreement between the provincial coun-
ellis or TO divide themselves into two or
more PROVINCES. The alterations are sub
ice: to the approval of Congress.
The second section, dealing with citi-
Ienship. was much debated. Gualberto
Gomez proposed modification of the sec
ond clause, first division. by which chill
dren born in Cuba OF foreign parents
should be considered Cubans unless they
declare themselves DESTROYS Of retaining
the nationality of their parents. There
was a long discussion regarding clause 4,
which grants the right of citizenship to
al who fought in the army.
1t was proposed to recognize as citi-
zens all who aided the revolution,
whether they claimed citizenship or not
Senior Sangully observed sarcastically
that President Mckinley would then be
citizen, as he had aided the revolution.
Those who provoked war by insulting
Spain would also be citizens.
A motion was adopted. by vote of II
TO 10, to ask General Wood to cable to the
English royal family in the name of the
Cuban convention, voicing the sentiments
of the Cuban people, who wished to con-
dole with the people of England in the
great loss they had sustained by the death
of their sovereign. This caused most
stormy debate II was opposed vigorously
by Senores Rivera and Llorente, who ar
gued that the convention had no power
to send messages of coincidence to for
eien countries. II had only the right to
make a constitution. To send such
message might expose Cuba to a slight,
as the English might ash, What conven-
tfon is this % Cuba he added, was not
yet a nation.
Senior Rivera referred to the Boer war
and declared that England was not acting
in way to beget sympathy in Cuba. Sen
ors Quesada, Sanguiiy. and others argued
that England had been a good friend to
Cuba She had supported the United
States by keeping Europe back during the
war
The Central Committee of Five keep to-
gether. Some CT the delegates show a
tendency to rush matters through. while
others, according to Scnor Rivera. arc

THE FIGHT PERMIT GRANTED.
Mayor Flcischinnnn Reconsiders His
Action Regarding to RuhIin-
Jefries Contest

CINCINNATI, Jan. 25.-Mayor Julius
Fleischmann this afternoon granted the
permit to the Saengerfest Athletic Asso-
citation for a boxing contest between
Jeffries aud Rubin. He some time ago
announced that ne would not grant 1t IN
til two days before the day set for the
fight
committee of the association wrote to
the mayor two days ago. saying they
thought it was only fair to them that
they should have every preliminary set
tied at once. in order to meet any fight
that might be made against them in court
The remodeiing OF the hall was another
argument advanced for an immediate
granting OF the request. Delay was also
injuring the prospects for patronage.
The mayor admitted the force of their
arguments and announced that he would
reconsider his determination not to grant
it until the last moment. He accordingly
issued the permit today.
The opposition to the fight is still Wig
orous and many declare the bout viii be
prevented By the courts.

Heads of City Departments win
Soon Hand Them in.
City officials are busily employed dur
ing the closing days of the year in get
ting their annual reports in readiness
for submission to the Mayor. Not only
at night. but by day. as we'll, are they
busy, for there is a great deal of work
incident to the preparation of the re-
ports of some of the departments.
The Mayor sent out notices to the
heads of the departments some days
ago. asking that each have his report
in on Jan. 1. 1t is always the case that
a little latitude is allowed the officials
and it is improbable that the last of
the reports will be in before Jan. or 4.
In some of the departments the bust
ness of the concluding days of the year
cannot be carried forward and en-
bodied in a report until two days or
three days have passed. In other de-
partments, however, there will be moth
ing to prevent the reports being sub
mitted to the Mayor on Jan. or Jan. 2
AS Jan. / is a legal holiday, it is prob
able that the majority of the reports
will be filed on Jan. 2.

MADE LESS ARRESTS
POLICE RECORDS SHOW A FALL
ING OFF OF 500.
LAST YEARS RECORD 1904.
NUMBER OF ARRESTS DOES NOT
INDICATE SPREAD OF CRIME.

Savannah Police Statistics win
show About $500 Arrests This
fear-CriminaI Standing of Cities
Not Based on Number of Crimes
Reported to the Police But on the
Number of Guilty Parties Caught.
Supt. Rcilly's Men Have Been
Active.
Unless there is very much disorder
before midnight Tuesday not as many
arrests will have been made during
1901 as are recorded for 1900 1t is esti-
mated that 800 arrests will have been
made by the first of the year against
1854 for last year.
The difference of 500 arrests doesn't
really show anything, and Superin-
tendent Reilly is pleased with the work
done by his men, and the showing
made by the department. Police statis-
tics are as rule barren, and the Grim
lnal condition of a city can never be
told by the number of arrests recorded,
although this is the means used by
ficiency of departments, and the
amount of wickedness in cities.
All of the police statistics are based
on the number of arrests made when
as matter of fact such information
shows nothing. It does not show TIE
volume of crime committed, but only
how many criminals on alleged crimi-
nails have been arrested. Thus an ex-
ceptionally efficient department would
by the large number of arrests made
place its municipality in the lead for
wickedness when as a matter of fact
it might be morally much cleaner than
city where few arrests are made be-
cause of an incompetent force, but
which because of the small number of
arrests would be placed at the head
of the list of good cities.
The criminal standing of cities
throughout the country is not based
on the number of crimes reported to
the police, but upon the number of
catchess made, making it quite clear
that frequently injustice is done to
cities that should be given good names.
In the reports furnished annually by
tlAC fdLlOuS CuletS VI POllCe III lHe
United States, there are no figures to
show just how many cases have been
reported during the year, and there
can be no way to check the number of
arrests made against the number of
crimes reported. thus to a very large
extent covering any deficiency in the
departments.
The city detectives have held their
own during the year that is just clos
ing, and a large amount of stolen
sproperty has been recovered. Many
arrests. too, have been made by the
men in plain clothes and their record
for 1901 will be favorable. and they will
be complimented for their work by
Supt. Reilly in his annual report to
the Mayor. The detectives are val
liable adjunct to the department, and
their labors during the present year
have not gone by unnoticed

SP0TTER'S LIGHT SENTENCE.
Created Much Excitement, But Was
Let Down Gently by Recorder.

Let Down Gently by Recorder.
At yesterdays session of Police Court
Pap Holmes, the negro spotter who ran
amuck in Yamacraw with loaded re-
volver Christmas day, was fined only
SIS or 20 days on the chain-g gang. The
prisoner was charged with firing the
revolver, and with then pointing it at
Officer Broom. who answered with two
shots from his own pistol.
A negro woman who was in the
neighborhood, received a stray bullet in
the arm, but the spotter suffered no
more IN consequence. The patrolnn an
expressed some doubt about the point
ing of the revolver, and Holmes got off
light on a charge that was really Sc
rious. The negro gave as his excuse for
not appearing in court Thursday that
he had been told that he had killed a
woman while firing, and stated that
he had been hiding in the swamps.
This was taken by the Recorder as
a good excuse on the contempt charge,
and Holmes will probably begin play
ing his game of spotter again within 4
short while. Other negroes who did not
create as much excitement on Christ
mas day as did Holmes, are anguish
ing on the chain-gang.
Harry Gibbons, a negro charged with
cutting Eli Kay on Christmas, was
fined SIS or thirty days on the chain
gang.
