stitutional convention at todays ses-
sion, took no action regarding the pro.
posal to appoint commission to 60

turc relations between Cuba and the

taken up by Senor Juan Guaibcrtp Go
nez and Gen. Sanguily. who made long
and impassioned speeches, the former
against the Plat amendment, and the
latter in its favor.
Senor Gomez said in substance that
the black blood in his veins made him
opposed To the Americans. intimating
that their treatment OF his race stamp
ed them as unfricndly to the negro.
Il would rather be under the SOW
crciSnty of Spain" he exclaimed,
than under that of the United States.
The Plat amendment cndangers the
independence Of Cuba. 1t means the
pr"doninancc Of American influence

He admitted that lac was not parJic-
uiarly opposed To sending a commits
sion tn Washington. but he said he be-
licvcd the Platt amendment should be
ojccted first.
Gen. Sanguily made a strong appeal
To- the delegates Ia accept the amend
