t S fir It - A - is NS I Constitutional Convention De cides Not to Dissolve WILL CONTINUE SESSIONS Conservative Illotticut Score- m Victory Over tiiu ltnitUiiln Latter Mixy tamo Uoinonitrntlnu AkiiIiiU Unltt il hlutoi by luiIKiitlonod Appeal to tho Ieople Ilavnun March 8 The Cuban con stitutional convention mot in secret cession yesterday afternoon for a formal discussion of the Piatt amend went Tho conservative element scored a victory It was decided to continue the sessions of the conven tion and to refer the amendment to tho special committee on relations with instructions to bring In a report General Suiiguilly favored dissolving the convention and returning the umendment without discussion The other delegates were ununlniously In lavor of continuing the sessions and of sending some answer to the execu tive department In Washington The argument turned on the question whether the convention had power to adopt a scheme of relations that would be binding upon the future republic The radical element did not Hock to General Snuguilly as had been ex pected and the conventions action in referring tho question to the speciul committee on relations indicates a willingness to recede from the former attitude It Is evident that many of the delegates still hope the amendment will be changed but there Is no bitter feeling now apparent It is doubtful whether tho convention will ever agree to accept the amendment but the con servatives maintain that the willing ness of the radicals to discuss and If necessary to send a committee to Washington gives a more hopeful as pect to conditions which were growing utrninod It is generally believed that tho crisis if any existed has passed and that by the time the committee reports the present excitement will have died out Much depends upon the attitude of the radical delegates If an im passioned appeal to the people is Is sued as It is rumored wil lbe the case It may cause demonstrations of protest ngalnst the United States
