CUBAN SITUATION
In MISSION WORK
Trouble With Dr. Diaz Will Come Before Con
Vention Today

The Special Committee on Cuban
Missions as part of the report of the
Home Mission Board is expected to
be heard in the Southern Baptist Con-
vention this morning. Owing to the
fact that considerable trouble has
been experienced in Havana in the
mission work, on account of differ
ences with DIR. Diaz, who was in charge
of Gethsemene Church, the situation
is a matter of no little concern, and
it may be that some definite action
may be taken by the convention.
The report Of the Board of Home
Missions presented Friday stated that
conditions had not greatly changed in
Havana since the previous report The
report of the board at the convention
in Asheville contained the following:
THAT in the report made on Feb.
IL, 1902, by Messrs. Landrum, Nc
Cornell and Hillyer, the special COM
mission which visited the island early
in the year, the action of Gethsemane
Church in disclaiming any title or
claim of any kind whatever to the
Jane Church property with the de-
tails and particulars of said action by
the said Gethsemane church, were
duly sent out and explained. With that
report was presented an application by
Gethsemane Church of Havana, Cuba,
for permission to worship in the build
ing, and also to aid them in payment
of their pastors salary, DR.. A. ]. Diaz,
who had voluntarily resigned his con-
necton with our board. The board
granted permission for the church to
worship in the building for a period OF
time to be agreed to by the board; but
declined for the present to again en-
ploy DR.. Diaz.
The ground stated for declining to
employ DR.. DiaZ at that time, was
that he was out of harmony with our
other missionaries and churches in Gu
ba, and that there were other reasons:
the latter allusion being in part to the
relation reported to said commission as
existing between Gethsemane Church
and the cemetery and DIR. Diaz. The
facts as to this matter of the ceme-
terry were not stated in any detail at
that time, but the expectation to recur
to the subject at a later date was ex-
pressed.
1T will be remembered that under
action taken by the Home Mission
Board in the early part of the year
1899 the management and income of
the Baptist cemetery at Havana was
for a fixed term, subject to renewal,
turned over to Gethsemane Church, the
income to be used in payment of
church expenses, and the over-plus, if
any, to be applied to extinguishment
of the mortgage on the Jane building
then existing; and which DR.. Diaz had,
without knowledge of the board, under
power of attorney held by him, placed
upon it's property. This mortgage has
since been paid off out of general funds

sionaries among the Hakkas a people
of Southern China. A subscription for
such purpose was made the day be-
fore, and resulted in the raising of
some $500. This amount yesterday was
increased to a little over $1,10O.
Miss l.. Moon of China was down on
the programme for an address, but in
her absence Rev. Mr.. Bryan, a mis-
sionary stationed at Shanghai, spoke IN
her stead. He devoted his address
chiefly to showing the need of good
homes for missionaries in China. Ma
tive houses can be used in Northern
China, he said, but in the southern part
of the country it is necessary that
homes be built for the workers of the
church, as the native houses are unfit
for members of the Caucasian race.
The reasons for this fact he stated
to be the unsanitary conditions of the
houses and surroundings, and their
lack of protection against the damphess
incident to the rainy seasons that pre-
vail for months in certain sections.
Even where these difficulties are not
encountered a native house is objec-
tionable, the speaker stated, through
the fact that once occupied by natives.
they usually leave behind them other
inhabitants, a lively little black race,
and sluggish little red race.
Showed Chinese Idols.
The next speaker was Mrs Roswell
Graves, missionary to Canton. who
also spoke in favor of the new home
Tor the missionaries to the Hakkas, and
told something of the trials that some
or the missionaries to that people had
recently had in securing a home among
them. She devoted so much of her time
TO this subject that she did not tell of
the idols she had meant to though she
offered to show them to such persons
as were interested provided they would
call at the desk at the end of the meet
ing.
Before ending her talk, however, by
request she recited something in Chi
nese, and also announced that she
would show a picture of the second
largest idol in existence, a statue of
Buddha which is in Japan and which
is 60 feet high.
From other Chimes.
Other missionaries who made talks
were Miss Georgia Barnett of New Or
leans, who read a letter of greeting
from Mrs. c. B. Willingham, mission
airy in Japan; Mr.. ]. V. Cova, who has
a mission in Mantanzas, Cuba; Mr..
Calvera of Santa Clara, Cuba; Miss
Joerg of Havana, Mrs. w. T. Lumley
of Abbeokuta, Africa, and Miss Kate
Perry, who is a missionary in Indian
territory
The last meeting of the present ses-
sion of the Union will take place to-
day. and ii probably will be one of the
most interesting, as the election of Of
ncers for the coming year will take
place.

of the board, and gotten rid Of with
out any help from the cemetery prop
erty, or from DR.. Diaz. or from Geth-
semane Church.
THE commission, whilst in Havana,
were informed that the board having
turned over the use of the cemetery
to Gethsemane Church, that church
had, at the instance of DR.. Diaz, adopt
ed resolution acknowledging debt
to DR.. Dfaz personally, based on
claim for arrears of salary alleged to
be due him at the rate of $1,000 per
year, dated back to and covering the
period from the time when the ceme-
terry was inaugurated, and such debt
amounting to $12,0 900 or $4,000.
During the time. a long series of
years, when DR.. Diaz was superintend-
ent or administrator of the cemetery
he made reports to the board profess
ing to cover it's annual income and
expenses year by year, and made year
ly statements to our treasurer; and
neither that commission or the Com
mittee on Cuba could see any basis for
such a claim; and it was with surprise
that your committee learned that Dr.
Diaz should have made or Gethsema-
ne Church allowed such claim. Your
committee, hoping that he would re-
nounce the claim, and set Gethsem'ane
Church free from the intolerable bur-
den of so heavy a debt, considered that
if he promptly did so, this additional
obstacle to his unemployment would
be removed; and the way opened for
his possible restoration to confidence.
We are credibly Informed that DIR.
Diaz has, since the date of our for
mer report, written one or more letters
to the press in the bounds of the South
ern Baptist Convention. animadverting
on the policy of the board, and so far
as we know, has taken no step to cam
eel his claim of debt against Gethsema-
ne Church and the cemetery.
I'VE are also informed that Gethse-
name Church has lately been in some
way misled into passing a resolution;
attempting to rescind action that the
church had whilst the commission were
in Havana in January last, in which
action that church recited and admit
ted the facts and renounced any claim
of title to the Jane Church property;
and in the letter or letters written by
DIR. Diaz above mentioned he claims
that he was carried before a Catholic
notary and a Catholic lawyer TO make
acknowledgment of the boards title.
There was no compulsion whatever
in the matter but directly the contra
ry, as the action of Gethsemane Church
and of DR.. Diaz was absolutely volun-
tary and was taken under every APP
pearance of good feeling at the time
Gethsemane Church at this conference
in January last Q902) first adopted the
elaborate and detailed recital of facts
contained in report, and resolutions of
their own committee, of which DR.. Diaz
was chairman, showing the clear title
of the Home Mission Board and of the
Southern Baptist Convention, in the
Jane Church property; and distinctly
admitting that in truth and in fact
Getheemane Church had no title TO that
property"
