Framing Cuban Constitution
The Monroe Doc'rine May to
Favored by th^ Con*titu
ttonal Conventlc.
Habans, Jan 2 ?Tho Cnbsn con
stitutional convention is considering
two pr imulgationa ot the future re! t
tions between Cuba and the United
S?atP.o One of those affirms, in the1
first pi ace, an acceptance if tit" Mon
r<<e doctrine and tbo establishment of
friendly relations with all notions,
together with a resolution to proceed j
In all cases in complete accord with
tbe United Slates In the second j
place, it proposes to pat at the dis
poeal of the United States a portion J
of the shore of any bay on the north .
coast and of two bays on the south !
coast for naval stations, together with
concessions sufficient in * xtent for
the purposes of defense and sanita?
tion In the third place, it declares
that Cuba will place herself on a war
footing to lie'p the United States in
case such assistance should be need* j
ed, while a fourth proviso is an ampli- j
cation of the first, second atid third. 1
The other promulgation contem?
plates :
"First, That the convention is
vested with authority oniy to con
vene.
Second Not having been granted
legislative functions l\ i convention
cannot arrange the b.sis of future re
I at ions
Third Nevertheless, should Wash?
ington prefer stich a discussion ihe
i convention is willing to discuss and
j agree upon an srrsngemeot of mutual
! relations
Fourth The aspiration3 of the
convention are merely to consolidate
tbe country for reconstruction Its
energies are directed toward sup
porting the avowed policy of the
j United States to which Cuba is bound
by indestructible ties of gratitude,
said policy being based upon the
unequivocal preservation of liberty
and independence tbtougboul tbe
American coutinent
The former promulgation embodies
tbo desires of delegates friendly to
the United States The latter is a
counter check to the cxtremifita It

The Philippine Government
Manila, Dec 31 ?The Philippine
commission has completed the prep
oration of a general municipal gov
cmroent bill. The provisions in
many respects, are similar to uen.
Mac Arthur's order establishing muni?
cipal government's and authorizing
elections, but they are much moro
elaborate, covering all details The
most important new feature is the
establishment of laud taxation and
doing away with tbe cedula (or head
tax) and taxation on people's occupa
lions A feature new to the Philip?
pines is that the revenue from land
taxes is to be expended where it is
collected The manner of holding
I elections and the duties of officers
are prescribed
A decision in the J?au Jose Med:
'-al college case has been deferred
until Saturday
Hubbard'a Cotton Letter.
Sp? Clai to the State.
New York. Jan 2 ?A sharp ad
Vance in Liverpool brought buyers
from the west and south who untici
piled a falling uff in the movement
which will bring Europe into the
market as buyers Local operators
were also free buyers, taking the
realizing orders, which were met on
the advance The temper of the
trade is to loc k for a further improve
ment in Liverpool tomorrow. Re
ceipts at the ports wero considered
to be light, notwithstanding the
holidays which naturally curtailed
the movement It is believed the
south will be tenacious holders of
their cotton, as all expect reports to
confirm this disposition on their pait
Ths advance has pointed more cotton
towards this port and our stock ia
slowly increasing through the main
tisnence of the January premium
