CUBAN DELEGATES' REM Urs:ed the Constitutional Convention to Adopt the Piatt Amendment. OMR PnnnY OF INTFRVFNTION The Report Stated That the United States Would Xot Intervene Unless Cuba Were Attacked By a Foroljra Power?President's Plan For Fixing Commercial Relations?Report Made Good Impression. ' Havana, Cuba.?The Special Commission of the Cuban Constitutional Convention, which visited Washington, presented to the convention an extensive report of Its conferences with President McKinley and Secretary Koot, and a glowing account of the 'banquets and receptions tendered to it. Senor Giberga objected to incorporating an account of the social programme in the report, but the commission insisted upon this point. In reference to the third clause of .the l'latt amendment, me report siaiea that the United States would not intervene" unless Cuba were attacked by a, foreign power, or unless there existed In Cuba a condition of affairs isimilar to that which existed under Spain at the time of American intervention. Regarding coaling stations, the report set forth that the places so desired by the United States were Capes 'Maisi and San Antonio and another ,point commanding the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico; that these would be definitely determined upon when drawing up the treaty, and that the object of these stations would be the maintenance of the independence of Cuba ins well as the protection of the United States. The report also said that the United States would in no way interfere in |the local government, and that Presi aent MCK.miey iiaa pronnseu to appoint a commisssion to meet a Cuban commission to discuss the economic question and to draw up a commercial treaty as soon as the republic was established. Mr. McKinley advised the Cubans in the meantime to study the situation in this respect. The report announced that Secretary Root said there was nothing in the Piatt amendment to prevent Cuba having diplomatic representatives in foreign countries. i The report has evidently made a good impression, and only a few Radicals will continue to oppose the acceptance of the Piatt amendment. Senor Villuenda, in an open letter (declaring: his intention to accept the amendment, says be first thought that, if the convention rejected the amendment, Washington might change its policy, as he then believed the amendment was the work of a party. "I now believe," says Senor Vllluenda, "that the amendment is the work of the Nation. There is no use in objecting to the inevitable. It is either annexation or a republic with the amendment, and I prefer the latter. The United States Government, by insisting upon the amondment, shows that the Americans have changed from their policy before the war, and that they no longer rely upon the Monroe doctrine to protect the interests of JLmerican republics." / CLEVELAND BANK CLOSED. / ?? Directors Suspend Payment Owing to the Absence of the Treasurer. Cleveland, Ohio.?The doors of the Cuyahoga Savings and Banking Company were not opened for business a few days ago.

Exchanges in Kind Insisted Upon ti Order to Ilusband Silver Dollars and United States Kote*. Washington, D. C.?Preparation! have begun at the Treasury to meei the autumn demand for money foi moving crops. A telegraphic request came from New Orleans for $275,000 to be paid for a deposit in the New York SubTreasury, by the reserve agent of the bank, asking for the currency. Treas urer Roberts authorized payment bj the New Orleans Sub-Treasury, oc condition that express rates should be paid at New Orleans in the same classes of currency in which it was received at New York City. This included gold certificates for $20 zo a considerable amount. Treasurer Roberts has authorised similar transfers to the amount ol $250,000 a day so long as the demand for money continues. He is insisting at present upon exchanges in kind seeking to husband the limited stock of silver dollars and United States notes in the Treasury, with a view to meeting emergencies later in the sea son.

The amount of United States notes was $10,218,404. These are narrow margins upon which to conduct the large exchange business of the crop moving season, but Treasurer Roberts believes he will be able to meet all demands. He finds It necessary to lay down the rule of exchanges in kind as far as possible, because of the limit imposed by law upon most rorms or currency outside of the gold certificates. Gold certificates can be furnished to any amount in exchange for gold coin, but their minimum denomination is $20, not always small enough to meet demands.

Baare, aged twenty, who then turned the revolver upon herself, inflicting a wound from which she died in two minutes. Both were shot through the head. The action of the young woman was premeditated, as was shown by a letter which she left. In it she said that the frequent insults offered to her mother by her father became unbearable, and that she had resolved to kill him and then herself. Mr. Baare was taking a nap when he was killed.

Depositors fVect to Realizi Fifteen Per Cent. on^Their Claims1 Liabilities Estimated at 9800,000. ' Ovid, N. Y.?When the Le Roy C, | Partridge Bank, which had stood sinct 1808, failed to open its doors for busl \ ness on the morning of April 25 little t excitement was caused In this town ! Notices were posted that creditors ! would receive 100 cents on a dollar, J and it was the general understanding that the steD was taken to effect a speedy closing up of a formerly prosperous banking business which was becoming unprofitable. , Later developments, however, have ' made it plain that the bank is wrecked | and the disastrous results are wide| spread. The total liabilities are esti) mated at $SOO.OOO, but the books are in such confused shape that it will be at \ least sixty days before the assignee, Benjamin Franklin, and the examiner can give out definite figures. Depositors have a strong hope that fifteen per cent, may be realized on their claims. Seneca County finds itself to-day almost paralyzed in a business way, and the financial stress extends throughout Central New York. Many men are so heavily involved that, nothing but poverty lies before them. .Of the hundreds of employes at Willard State Hospital there is probably not one who Is not a loser. Aged men and women who had trusted their little all to the Partridge Bank find themselves practically penniless. Town funds are swept away. School moneys, needed at once, are gone. Churches have lost small amounts and organizations of every sort have bills to meet and no cash to meet them. The State is believed to have had about $15,000 In the bank. The county is poorer by $14,000, which is tied up or absolutely gone, and much needed improvements must be given up. Many believe that William C. Howell's sudden Insanity and Archibald Banker's suicide were direct fruits of the failure and the panic that followed realization of the disaster. Both were thought well off, but the closing of the bank left them so heavily involved that their minds apparently gave way. Bitterness is added to despair. Feeling runs so high that it has been luuu^ui. uy uuitmia ui mc wrecked bank not to appear in public. FREICHT TRAIN BLOCKED FIREMEN As a Result Many Persons ferlshed In a Fire In South Chicago. Chicago.?Seven persons were burned to death, three fatally Injured, and several others slightly injured in a fire that destroyed a three-story apartment building in South Chicago. The origin of the fire Is unknown. While the occupants of the burning building were struggling with the smoke and flames, in hope of forcing their way to safety, the firemen who were responding to the alarm were vainly waiting for a freight train, which blocked the way of the fire engines, to move away from the crossing and give an open road to the fire. Marshal Driscoll, in charge of the firemen, called to the conductor and brakemen to move the train, but they refused to comply with his request. i The police were sent for and the crew arrested. Then under orders of the Fire Marshal, the train was backed from the crossing, but by the time the firemen reached the burning building the structure had been destroyed. Scattered among the embers were found the charred remains of the victims. The bodies were burned beyond recognition and were identified in various ways. The train crew, who live at Elkhart, Ind., were held without bail, awaiting the verdict of the Coroner's Inquest. Commissioner Lyman Dead. Colonel Henry H. Lyman, State Commissioner of Excise, died at his home in Oswego, N. Y. He had been sick from heart trouble for the past several weeks. He is survived by a widow and three daughters.
