Constitutional Convention Goes on Becord
Against Piatt Amendment -
EIGHTEEN OPPOSED TEN IN f AVOR
Conservatives Consider Result Injurious
ly Binding on Commission Neeley
Slay Dispose of Havana Holdings bat
the Money Will Bo Withheld
HAVANA April 13 The Cuban
constitutional convention placed itself
on record today against the Piatt
amendment by a vote of 18 to 10 on
a resolution that the convention
should declare itself opposed to the
amendment on account of the terms
of some of the clauses and the way
in which they are drawn and also
en account of the contents of others
especially clauses 3 6 and 7
The conservatives assert that this
action is embarrassing inasmuch as
it practically ties the hands of any
commission that might be sent to
Washington
The legal authorities have granted
permission to Charles F Neely to sell
the brickyard and land in Havana
standing in his name The money re
alized will be turned over to the court
and kept in trust until a decision is
reached regarding his alleged embez
zlement of postal funds
SANTIAGO DE CUBA April 13
Recent advices from the United States
indicate that there is an organized ef
fort based in part on special press
dispatches of April 9 from Santiago to
New York to spread the impression
that conditions of friction and discon
tent exist in eastern Cuba
So far as the province of Santiago
is concerned nothing could be more
remote from the facts There have
been and are differences of opinion re
garding the Piatt amendment particu
larly its conditions as to coaling and
naval stations and these have led
to some discussion but there are ab
solutely no indications of serious trou
ble
Last Sundays demonstration rela
tive to municipal politics consisted of
a procession of from 400 to 600 men

ment and he crowd laughed good
naturedly but there was no symptom
of disorder
People here are working contented

have been no strikes of late Few

DICTATE TO ENGLAND
United States Investors Almost Rendy to
Drain British Gold
LONDON April 13 In an elaborate
discussion of the relation of British
exports and imports the Statist will
say tomorrow
Expansion of imports means that
the United States are acquiring from
England immense quantities of secur
ities and that as British capital in the
United States as well as in the aggre
gate abroad is decreasing the Uni
ted States are now repaying the capi
tal which we placed in that country
in earlier days when it needed our
capital for railway industries and
lands at the rate of 40000000 per an
num The importance of the matter
is increased in view of the high prices
to which American railroad securities
have now risen There is a diminish
ing desire on the part of the Amer
icans to purchase securities of us
and in the autumn we may be asked to
pay gold for a part of our immense
purchases of produce instead of secur
ities

JONES ON REORGANIZATION
Democratic Leader Says No
Bad leal
Change la Probable
FORT SMITH Ark April 12
Chairman James K Jones of the na
tional democratic committee in an in
terview today speaking upon demo
cratic politics in general said he
thought absurd the talk of some form
erly recognized leaders of the party
about the necessity for reorganization
What the policies of the party at the
next national convention may be he
said no one can say and it would be
manifestly impossible for any man or
set of men to formulate a new policy
for the party in the interim He
thought it quite within reason to be
lieve that there will be modifications
of the platforms of Chago and Kan
sas City but what these modifications
may be no one can say although it is
not probable such modifications will
be radical in character In speakng
of the Philippines and Cuban rela
tions Senator Jones said he was grat
ified at the more peaceful turn in the
Philippines and hoped it would result
in a settled government with large in
dependent powers He hopes the gov
ernment will soon redeem its pledges
to the Cubans and leave them to gov
ern their island domain as it pleases
them
STILL INDEMNITY QUESTION
No Appreciable Change In Negotiations
of Foreign Ministers
WASHINGTON April 12 There
were no developments over night in
the situation at Pekin so far as the
state department is informed The
troublesome subject of indemnities ir
still engaging the attention of the min
isters here and not much progress is
being made toward a final settlement
Incidentally exchanges are going on
between the various foreign ofiicers
in a rather irregular manner and it is
possible that they will eventuate in
the arrangement of a basis of settle
ment Some such course as this was
found necessary to secure the original
agreement upon which the ministers
are now in negotiation with the Chi
nese envoys the ministers themselves
having failed to arrange a base for the
negotiations

Clear the Points Not Understood
WASHINGTON April 11 Informa
tion was received at the War depart
ment to the effect that the Cuban con
stitutional convention is contemplat
ing sending a commission here to con
sult the president and secretary of war
regarding the Piatt amendment and
the relations of the United States with
Cuba
While it is known that the adminis
tration would much prefer to have the
constitutional convention accept the
Piatt amendment instead of sending
such a commission it would rather the-
commission should visit this country
and discuss the subject than that the
Piatt legislation should be rejected
Flat rejection would leave matters in
a strained condition The commission
will visit this country upon its own
responsibility as an invitation to come
might imply a dsposition upon the part
of this government to make conces
sions It has been suggested that some
of the most radical opponents of United
States control be members of the com
mission in order that they might as
certain definitely what the situation is
in the United States
There has been some discussion as
to what such a commission can accom
plish by coming to Washington It is
said for one thing that it can obtain
definitely from the president and sec
retary of war a construction of the
Piatt amendment The third section
relating to intervention is the one
which meets with the greatest objec
tion from the Cubans and it is be
lieved that the administration can con
vince the delegation that there is noth
ing but the best of intention on the
part of this government toward Cuba
The requirement that the Cubans shall
adopt substantially the terms of the
Piatt amendment also can be construed
The delegation it is said will learn
that the Cubans can hope for no mod
ification of the law by congress and
that nothing can be accomplished by
waiting until another session It will
also be made plain that the present
administration does not wish any mod
ification and that the spirit of the
Piatt amendment must be accepted
The delegates will be informed that
they can tell the members of the con
vention upon their return that until
the conditions of the Piatt amendment
are complied with the United States
will continue to exercise authority in
the islands under its military power
There is a desire upon the part of the
Cubans to have some information as
to what may be meant by coaling sta
tions It is understood that the dele
gates have been given an intimation
that the selections are not likely to be
made within any of the cities of Cuba
but at points which the United States
regards as convenient for warships
Probably the delegation may desire ad
ditional assurances from the president
upon this point when it comes to the
United States
As to the time for the visit of the
commission there is no definite infor
mation The president leaves here for
the west the last of the month and it
is expected that he will not see any
delegation of this character unin after
his return
GEN BOTHA WANTS PEACE
Boer Commander-in-Chief Renews Xego

CAPETOWN April 11 General
Botha has reopened negotiations with
the British for peace
It is understood here that although
General Dewet at his recent interview
with General Botha refused to surren
der General Botha regarding him as
irresponsible undertakes to negotiate
in behalf of the entire Boer forces
The British authorities here consid
er that if General Botha surrenders
Dewets following can be easily tak
en As explained here this action
was determined in part by General
Bothas discovery at a recent meeting
that General Dewets intellect had
weakened and that his influence was
diminishing and that a continuance of
the campaign in view of General De
wets irresponsibility rested with
General Botha alone

latest Quotations from South Omaha

Union Stock Yards Cattle There was
a very light run of cattle and a3 the de
jnand on the part of paokers was in good
shape the market ruled active and strong
er all around on all desirable grades Re-
vInfa fnoliifloil nhnnt 40 cars oC beef
steers and the quality was fairly good
Packers were all after the better grades
and It was not long before everything
was out of first hands The market could
best be described by calling It active ana
stronger although some sales were made
that were undoubtedly higher Thero
were only about 13 cars of cows on salo
and as packers all wanted a few they
started out and paid strong to a dime
higher prices than were offered yesterday
The greatest advance was of course on
the better grades as that class of cattle
was what packers were looking for Tho
supply of feeders was very light and the
few choice bunches offered were picked
up at good steady prices The commoner
grades however and cattle on the north
ern order are very hard to move as tho
demand for them is exceptionally light
Hogs There was not an excessive run
of hogs at any of the principal market
points and as a result prices Improved
The market here opened strong with the
first sales going largely at 387 and 390
but it soon became apparent that thero
were not enough to go around and sellers
held their droves at firmer prices After
the first round it became a 590 and 392
market with the better hogs selling at
593 and from that up to G05 or about
a nickel higher than yesterday The top
prices was paid for three loads of prime
heavy hogs welching from 381 to 400
pounds
Sheep There was a light run of sheep
here today and the market could be
quoted about steady with yesterday or
a dime lower all around than at the first
of the week Lambs sold as high as 305
and wethers brought 475 and ewes sold
as high as 433 Ewes apparently are
holding up better than wethers The few
feeders that have arrived this week have
met with ready sale at good steady
prices
