of the treaty of Parts, the Joint resolu

rintt amendment, and then proceeds as
follows:
"Inasmuch as Secretary Hoot, being an
thorlzed by President McKlnley, says that
the riatt law has for Its object the guar
anteolng of the Independence of Cuba and
does not meau Interference with Its gov
crnmont or the exorcise of a protectorate
or of sovereignty, and also that tnterven
tton will only take place when Indoyend
ence Is endangered by outside powers or
crave Interior disturbances, Treating an
anchy, and inasmuch as Secretary Root
has said that the navul stutlons will not
be used for vantage points of Interven
tlon, hut only to protect Cuba against
foreign powers, we report as follows:
"That In view of the fact that the riatt
law, In its preamble, says It Is b fulfill
ment of tho Joint resolution nnd has been
adopted by rongresg with the principal
object of establishing Independence, we do
propose to tho convention to accept the
following as an appendix to the constitu

Ivxcrpt Initiated Auniln.
The first, second, fourth and fifth clause
are quoted In their entirety. Tho third
clause has. tho following addition: "It

turbances causing a state of anarchy, and
that tho Intervention shall always be th

VIENNA, May 19. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho varied
annuls of the Balkan courts contain no
more sensational acandal than the story of
Queen Draga of Servla's vanished heir. King
Alexander' excuse for marrying hor was
that as a man of honor he was compelled to
egltlmatlzo their expected child. Hut the
eminent Viennese surgeon, Nothangel, says
he Informed tho queen eighteen months ago
that she could never know the Joy of
motherhood. Nevertheless, since their mar-
rlago every possible preparation has been
made at the auecn's Instance for the alleged
anticipated event, and the Servians were
enthusiastic over the likelihood of tho
dynasty's being strengthened by tho birth of
an heir to the crown.
Belgrade diplomats all along warned tho
governments to expect a scandal when tho
denouement was reached, as the Innermost
circles of the court believed thHt the queen
was either duping tho king or conspiring
with htm to perpetrate nn audacious fraud.
But In pursuance of tho plot two Russian
and two French doctors were summoned to
Belgrade five weeks ago to prepare for the
event. Dr. Steglereff of Moscow declared
after a brief observation, that there could
he no confinement. Or. Coulot, the French-
man, a friend of the queen's whon abo was
a lady In waiting to Natalie, positively af
firmed the contrary. The controversy pro
voked a quarrel between tho Burgeons.
Dr, Steglereff reported to tho czar that
no heir wns In prospect, nor had there ovor
been, and that the queen had attempted to
deceive him and those around her by an
elaborate system of artifice with the Inten
tlon of foisting off u suppositious child upon
the Servian people. Ho rejected tho theory
of hysterical delusion advanced hy his col
league.
Alexander, terrified hy the ominous mani
festations of popular anger and at the slnls
ter turn of events and wurned by Russia of
the cousequences, suddenly became, furiously
Indignant with the queen and swore that ho
would divorce her anil Indict all her en
tourage for high treason, and alternated be
tween paroxysms of sorrow and rage.
The plot was carried so far that the
queen actually simulated the Illness usual
on such occasions, but too late, as sus
picion had been thoroughly aroused. It Is
now stated that the queen Is seriously ill
and Alexanders latest act Is to Issue a bul
lotln that "It Is not Impossible," even five
months off.
Dr. Worthhelm of Vienna and Prof. Cau
tazuceno of Bucharest have now been sum
moncd. It 1b quite likely that the result of
this royal swindle may be banishment fo
the queen and renunciation of the throne by
the king under popular and Russian prcs
sure and the setting of the match to the
Inflammable Balkan question.
LONDON, May 20. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The Chronl
cle's Vienna correspondent says: "Queon
Draga Is said to be confined to her bed
very depressed and constantly weeping,
The king Is doing all he can to console her
believing Ehe acted bona fldc. Dr. Werthelm
of Vienna and Prof. Cantncuzene of Bu
charest, who were called In consultation
yesterday, agree with the Russian doctors
but In written statements both endeavor to
exculpate the queen, Dr. Cantacuzene
states that u similar case of hysteria oc
curred some yer.ru ago with the queen of
Roumania."

Minority Itepnrt.
The minority report says: "The explana
tions given to tho commission In Washing
ton show that tho Piatt law does not ex
press tho wishes of the United States. It
was Intended to protect the Independence
of Cuba, but the wording gives other In
terpretations. "Tho United States are Inconsistent In
asking naval stations, w;hnn tho amend
ment! provide that no concessions shall
be given to foreign powers. Such a demand
raised the question whether the United
States do not consider Cuba a part ot their
possessions."
The report of the minority virtually ac
cepts the first and second clauses. For tho
third clause the following Is substituted:
"That the government ot Cuba subscribes to
the Monroe doctrine and will help the
United States to enforce It against othor
nations trying to violate It.'
For the fourth clause, tho following Is
substituted: "Cuba does not recognize acts
of Intervention which are not In conformity
with the Fornker resolution and the laws
of the United States."
The seventh clause, reads: "Cuba will
maintain naval stations, handing (hem over
to the United States In time of war."
The report of the minority recommends a
commercial treaty based upoa reciprocity.
Majority Report la a Surprint-.
The report of the majority has caused
at work aboard the Erin all day, making
elaborate preparations for the reception of
tho king, who arrives tomorrow to sleep
nnd witness the cup trial race on Tuesday.
The king had the cabin plan ot the Erin

as a sleeping chamber and the other as n

pletely refurnished nt the king's request
nnd a brass bed Is among the furnishings
sent from London for tho king's chamber.
Ltpton also engaged the services of a spe
cial chef for the occasion, and the menus
of all the meals to be partaken of aboard
the Erin have already been submitted to
and in some cases revised by the king he

The king will probably en accompanied
by Lord Suffleld, but, although It Is rumored
there will be four women In the party, In
cluding Mrs. George Keppel, there Is no
evidence of any special arrangements bolng
made for women.
Llpton will net sleep aboard the Erin to
morrow night. Tho crew will also bo pro

to endless trouble, but the cheery knight
Is quite delighted, ns. he always personally
liked the king as the prince of Wales. At
the same time It Is thought the king might
well have allowed Llpton to sleep aboard
his awn yacht without Infringement upon
royal dignity.
It Is considered curious that the king

ALBANY, N. Y., May 19. The Incidents
of this, the first day ot active operation of
II railways affected by the great strike,
wore few because of tho heavy fall of ralu.
Tho two men shot by national guardsmen in
defense of life and property were buried
his afternoon, but the pouring rain kept
away tho thousands of people that other
wise would have marked the occasion with
their presence. The departure of the Twenty-third
regiment early this morning was
the second fcattirn of the day, and stirring
sormnno In many city pulpits nlded In clos
ing tho Incident.
The funeral of Leroy Smith was devoid of
ncldent except that It was attended by city
officials and directors of tho street railway.
At the funeral of William Walsh there was
nearly a riot. While tho services were
pending In the church the crowd that had
been unable to gain admission saw a uni
formed soldier coming down tho street. In
stantly the people were In n state of fer
ment. A rush was made fur the unlucky
soldier, but h few wise heads held tho crowd
back for a minute while severnl others ad

cretion was the 'better part of valor he did
run and troublo was averted.
The starting out ot the first car ot tho

the cause of a demonstration. Pistols wero
fired, flags waved, torpedoes were placed on
tho track and exploded, the motormen and
conductors wore flags on their coats and
fully SOO men nnd women fought for tho

When the conductor got tho enr started
and rang up the fares he found that he had

The national officers are hopeful that
