NEW YORK, Juno 4. The Press to

NEW YORK, Juno 4. The Prests
snys: Maxlmlte, the new explosive In
vented by Hudson Mnxlm, has been
ndopted by this country after a series
of successful tests nt tho Sandy Hook

explosive hns been sold to tho govern
ment by tho lnvcntotr nnd tho ex.

deadly In Its character than lyddite,
yet so safely can It be handled thnt
the danger attaching to its use is lcs.
than that incurred in transporting or
dinary black powder.
In nn interview, Mr. Maxim said'
"Should tho United States become in

will be nblo to throw hign explosive
projectiles through tho thickest armor
of our enemies to oxplodo lnsldo their

Ho thought tho moral of these new

United States Will Not Relinquish
Onba
Under Present Oonditions,
DEMAND "SUBSTANTIAL" ADOPTION
Convention' Garbled Amendment U Not
Acceptable Substitute Conservatives
to Urge Itecess, Hoping Finally for the
Adoption of the Original,
WASHINGTON, June 3. It Is offl-
clnlly Btatcd that tho United States
will remain In control ot Cuba un
til tho Piatt amendment has been
"substantially ndoptcd." This was
mado known to General Wood las.
Tuesday by Secretary Root, and hli
action has been approved by tho pres
ident.
Secretary Root was with the presi
dent about an hour nnd a half dis
cussing with him tho cablegram which
had been prepared to bo sent to Gov
ernor General Wood at Havana, relat
ing to tho action of this government
on the Cuban constitution. This mes
sago Is long nnd will bo forwarded
to General Wood with tho Idea of hav
ing him communicate It to tho consil-
tutlonal convention. It will not bo
mndo public nt this tlmo and probably
not until tho convention takes action.
HAVANA, Juno 3. The press de
plores tho misunderstanding with tho
Washington government, but generally
admits tho possibility of a wrong con
struction being put upon tho amend
ment by tho explanations and inter
pretations, and thnt it will bo best
for tho convention to take up tho ques
tion Immediately and accept the
amendment ns passed by congress.
La Lucha says that 85 per cent of
tho peoplo favor this, but tho dele
gates aro at a loss what to do. Some
claim the United States Is not acting
in good faith, as It was most improb-
nblo that tho Washington officials did
not know what tho convention wa3
doing and what waB the nature of tho
report to bo submitted. They sny
that a majority of tho committee on
relations told them that tho nmend
ment as accepted would bo satisfactory
to tho United Stntes nnd that they
l ad tho nssuranco of General Wood
and Secretary Root to this effect Tho
mcmberB of tho committee on relations
will say nothing in regard to this
point, other than they, too, thought
It would bo satisfactory.
Secret rcsslons nnd absent stenog
raphers mako It Impossible for oven
tho delegates themselves to sot things
aright. Regarding tho controversy
which will Burely nrlso later as to
who Is responsible, tho convention will
placo tho responsibility upon tho com
mittee, nnd they, It Is said, will blamo
Gcncrnl Wood and Secretary Root.
An offort is being mado tonight by
somo of the conservatives to avoid this
crisis by asking the convention to nd
Joum for a month, In tho meanwhile
having tho municipalities petition tho
convention to pass the original amend
ment. Several municipalities have al
ready taken that action nnd It Is
thought others will fall Into line.
In tho municipal election tho na
tionalists claim tho election of Scnor
Gener, their candidate for mayor, and
a majority of tho council.

Klnldy continues very weak. Her con
dition Is not greatly changed from that

powers of rocupcrntlon.
Tho complaint which came near

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
ntest Quotations from South Onohs
nnd Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle Thero was a good, liberal run
of cattle, nnd In view of the liberal re
ceipts packers started In to buy their sup
plies for n little leas money than they did
yesterday. Sellers, however, held for
tendy prlceo, bo that while tho market
was slow In opening, not much change
was noticeable. Hecf steers mado up tho
bulk of the receipts, i'.io same as has been,
tho case for noma llttlo tlmo. It was a
Ilttlo late before many sales wcro made.
owing to tho fact that packers were bid
ding lower, but after buyers and scllon
got togothcr tho cattle changed hands at
rapid rato at Just about yesterday's
prices. Tho heavy weights contlnuo In
tho best demand, but still the lighter
grades, If of desirable quality, sold with
out dirilculty. It was the light common
stuff that was slow sale. Cows wcro ln
light supply and good demand and no ma
terial change was notlcenblo In tho prices
paid. Packers bid good, steady prices
and bought up what was offered In good
season. Choleo heavyweight heifers la
particular moved freely. Bulls also wero
n actlvo demand this morning, and any
thing at all deslrablo In quality sold In.
good season at steady prices. Tho samo
was true of stags and calves.
Hogs Thero was n very heavy run or
hogs, over 15,000 head being on sale. Tho
demand, however, was equal to tho occa
sion, ns Is shown by tho fact that every
thing sold In good season, with tho mar
ket averaging only n shade lower. Pack
ers started In bidding mostly S3.C0, or ZViO-
lower, but sellers held on for steady
prices, and for that reason tho market
was a little slow In opening. Finally, how
over, packers raised their bids and began
paying S3.C0 and S3.C2ft. At thoso prices
tho hogs moved toward tho scales at a
rapid rato nnd It was not long beforo-
practically everything was out of first
hands. Tho choicest grades sold largely
at S3.C5, and as high us S3.75 was paid for
a prime load.
Sheep Thero wero only a few cars of
sheep and lambs hero and the market on.
tho lighter weights of lambs was fairly
active and Just about steady with yester
day. Tho clipped lambs sold mostly from
J5.S0 to S3.90, which prices average up,
about tho same ns yesterday. Thoro
wcro no choleo wooled lambs offered. Tho
hclvywelght clipped stuff was slow salo
this morning and a llttlo weak.
