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

;was posted on the window:
"On account of the continued absence
of R. N. Pollock, the treasurer,
the directors have concluded to suspend
payment until such time as they
can make an examination of their affairs.
It is confidently expected that
every depositor will be paid in full."
Hundreds of depositors, mostly working
people, garnered around the bank
soon after the notice was displayed,
clamoring for their money.
The last statement published by the
bank Indicated that the individual deposits
amounted to $299,176; loans on
real estate, discounts, etc., $309,863.

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. He may then be compelled tc

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.

turned the revolver upon herself, inflicting
a wound from which she died

The action of the young woman was

' Ovid, N. Y.?When the Le Roy C,

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

Town funds are swept away. School
moneys, needed at once, are gone.
Churches have lost small amounts and
organizations of every sort have bills

The State is believed to have had

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.

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.
