HAVANA, April 13 The Cuban constitutional convention placed Itself en record today against the Piatt rmendment by a vote of 18 to 10, on n resolution that the convention Fhould declare itself opposed to the cmendment "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 acticn is embarrassing, inasmuch aa 11 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 declaten is reached regarding his alleged embez zlement of postal funds. SANTIAGO DB CUBA. April 13. Recent advices from the United States indicate tuat there is an organised '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 Sunday's demonstration rela tive to municipal politics consisted of a procession of from 400 to 600 men. with the usual following of small boys. Mayor Pedro gave the promoters a ltermit, despite the fact that they were Iiis political opponents. Some one cried, "Down with the Piatt amend ment" and he crowd laughed good naturedly, but there was no symptom of disorder. People here are working contented ly and becoming prosperous. There have been no strikes of late. Few tramps arc in evidence. War talk Is never heard. The successful harvest ing of the large sugar crop has great ly improved business conditions. Yesterday General Whitside and Se nor Castillo, the civil engineer of the province, visited El Cobre for an in spection of the new public works there. El Cobre was formerly considered a dangerous district, but they found ev erything quiet and the people at work. MCTATE TO EPrfil ANi. United Slat. lareetere Alsaeet Beady ta Drala British Gal. 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 40.000,000 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 dim'nish 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."

Prof. Lawrence Braner, entomologist at the University of Nebraska, has issued a bulletin- in which he discusses vari ous pwas for destroying grasshoppers. It begins with a general description of the insects, this outline Includes a statement of their life history, habits and relations to other insect forms, as well-as the effects of climate, lati tude, altitude and diseases in. keeping them within certain limits. Much stress is laid on the fast carelessness in the efforts of farmers of the state for permitting native locusts to be come sufficiently numerous to cause trouble. Among the artilclal remedies which are suggested and described in this bulletin the most important is that of "discing" in early spring alfalfa fields and other grounds containing the eggs of these insects. This disc ing can be done at any time after the frost is out of the ground, but the best time seems to be early la April. Instead of injuring the alfalfa numerous experiments in Kansas and Nebraska have shown that by running the disc over the fields the yield Is greatly increased. This stirring of the soil breaks up the egg masses and eposes them to the drying Influences of the air and the keen eyes of the birds, NEW riSIANi GAME UW. Ha Bart ta Kafarea It Catll Af tar ta. rint a( Jaly. LINCOLN. Neb., April 15. It is of ficially announced at the state house that no attempt will be made by state officers to enforce the new fish and game law before July 1, that being the time when all laws passed without an emergency clause by the last legis lature will become effective. An emergency clause was attached to the enrolled copy of the bill through er ror and without authority, but, al though it waa signed by the presiding officers of the legislature and by the governor, it canot be enforced, for the reason that it was defeated in the house of representatives. The official Journal of the house shows that the bill was ordered for third reading on March 13 and that on roll call it fail ed to receive the constitutional two thirds rote necessary for an emer gency clause thus leaving it subject to a motion to strike out the clause. Such a motion was made by Coppoc of Holt county and adopted, as the record shows. The roll was then call ed on the bill without the emergency clause and as it received the requisite number of votes it was declared pass ed. aa-iaer Millard. Private eteretary. OMAHA, Neb., April 15.

New. aa4 Araiaan Ala. Bav. Iatlatatlaa Aaaaal ta Ag rlealtaral Daaartaieat Vaela Baa. lai aartaaaa far AM. WASHINGTON, April 12. The De partment of Agriculture has received a dispatch from a prominent packing company of Chicago announcing that it has Just been advised that the Eng lish government has excluded all beef except home-bred from the British army contracts. This, it is stated, is to be effective June 1 next. The Chicago concern has asked the Agricultural department for any as sistance It can render. It has pointed out that the action of the government is a severe blow to American beef and cattle exporters and producers and means not alone the loss in gov ernment trade, but it Is feared It will serve toward causing a prejudice of the people of Great Britain against the beef and cattle of this country. No report of this contemplated move has reached the department, according to statements of officials this after noon. Steps have been taken, how ever, looking to acquiring whatever information it is possible to get. To demonstrate the importance of the move that is said to be contemplat ed it is pointed out that the value of our exports of live animals to Great Britain amounts to 140,000.000, while the total of animal products export ed from the United States to Great Britain is stated to be, in round num bers, $200,000,000. It Is pointed out here that this proposed embargo may really be a sequel, in a greater or less degree, to the proceedings instituted at New Orleans against shipments of horses and mules from that port for use in the South African campaign. While this is, of course, merely conjec tural, it is very strongly hinted that the New Orleans Incident probably is the directing step of Inspiration for the move. It Is pointed out that if the English really decided to take the action reported in the advices Just received the British might turn to Australia for their meats. It is claim ed, however, that meats cannot be gotten there in as good quality nor as cheaply as in the United States. CHICAGO, April 12. Sw.ft ft Co. was the packing firm referred to as having wired the Agricultural depart ment regarding probable action of the English government excluding all but home-bred beef from army con tracts. Mr. A. H. Veeder, general counsel for Swift ft Co., said their London representative had cabled to the above effect and that they had immediately telegraphed it to Wash ington. They had also cabled Lon don for further information. Mr. Vee der waa inclined to doubt that definite action had been taken by the British government. He expected further in formation tonight. Mr. J. G. Brine of Armour ft Co. said his company had received a cable gram from Its London agent statng that "it was rumored" that such ac tion had been taken. Armour ft Co. immediately telegraphed Secretary of the Treasury Gage asking for confir mation, but had no reply up to late this afternoon. Facta Farty Oay RAPID CITY, 8. D., April 12. Christ Birnbaum of this city missed four head of stock from his herd on Rapid creek over a month ago. He hunted for them everywhere and fi nally made up his mind that they had been stolen. One day. while out hunt ing jack rabbits, he entered an old abandoned house, and there found his four missing animals. Three of them stood up and the fourth was dead. They had beeen missing for forty days and it is supposed that they entered the house for shelter and the door becoming closed in some way, they had been shut up there without food or water.

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 Ch:ago 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 speak-ng 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 Caaase la Negotiations of Forelga Mlnittera. WASHINGTON. April 12. There were no developments over uiftht in the situation at Pekin s- 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 officers 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. First Spanish War Claims. WASHINGTON, April 12 The first claim presented to the Spanish war claims commission was filed today. The claimant is Maria Soler E.

TRE AMENIMENT OR NO CRANCE If the Prapesed Condltlaas Are ejected Military Aatherlty Will Caatlaae The President Will Ba Pleased to Make Clear the Felats Net TJadersteed. WASHINGTON, April 11. Informa tlon was received at the War depart ment to,the effect that the Cuban con stitutional convention is contemplat lag., sending a commission here to con sult the president and secretary of war regarding the Plait 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 deposition 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 towcrd 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 oe 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 untu after his return. GEN. BOTHA WANTS PEACE. Boer Commaader-Ia-Chlef Renews Nego tiations With Kltcheaer. 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 Bqtha, 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 Dewet's following can be easily tak en. As explained here, this action was determined in part by General Botha's discovery at a recent meeting that General Dewet's Intellect had weakened and that his influence was diminishing and that a continuance of the campaign, in view of General De wet's Irresponsibility, rested with General Botha alone. Fire destroyed twenty-five house3 in Andover, Hampshire, England, ren dering 170 persons homeless. Cabaa Coastltatleaal CoaTeatloa. HAVANA. April 11. The " Cuban constitutional convention reached no result regarding the proposal to ap point a commission to go to Washing ton in reference to the future rela tions between Cuba and the United States.

William Rhea, who was convicted of the mur der of Herman Zahn, was sentenced by Judge Grimisoa to he hanged with in the walls of the penitentiary at Lin coln August 2. The defendant was brought into the court room hand cuffed, in charge of Sheriff Kreader. He wore the same dark suit as during the trial, starched white shirt, white high collar and small, black band neck tie. His face was white with the pal lor of close confinement, but looked a little fuller than during the trial. The bold reckless look in his eyes has soft ened little. During the half hour which he spent In the roomjshowed no emotion whatever, but appeared a little restless. He fingered the band of his black slouch hat, changed his position frequently and looked around the room in a careless unconcerned way. Mr. Gray filed a motion for a new trial and stated to the court that the grounds were statutory and the same points were raised as were passed up on during the progress of the trial. "I haven't seen any reason to change the opinions formed during .the trial of the case," said the judge, "and the motion will be overruled." In a slow, solemn voice the judge then read the sentence which, in the words of the statute, substantially was that the defendant be taken to the penitentiary at Lincoln, delivered into the custody of the warden, kept In solitary confinement and on the 2d day of Auugst, 1901, between the hours of 9 and 11 a. m., be taken to some place designated within the walls of the penitentiary and there hanged by the neck until dead. As the judge read the latter 'part of the sentence the tones of his voice grew lower and more impressive, And the word "dead" was spoken scarcely above a whisper. The defendant was wholly unmoved. He took his seat and looked around as unconcerned as before. Not a muscle of his face changed, and he scarcely moved an eye while the sentence was being read. NERRASKA'S I1AGUE VICTIM. Father or C. B. Bare I.teads ta Visit th. Pattest at Aaa Arbor. PAWNEE CITY. Neb., April 13.

In order to make his des perate work more certain he first tied his legs toegther with wire and then fastened the wire to a fence post near a pile of rubbish. He then must have set fire to this rubbish and thereafter cut his throat with his pocket knife, severing both the windpipe and the jugular vein. He was perhaps dead before the fire had any effect upon his body. Mlsslag Maa Write. Berne. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., April 13.

Tha Famaaa Chicago arrester Cosa paay Received Mora aad areata, esters thaa Were Kver Before Accorded aa Amerlcaa bhlMter to tha History af Kxpoeltleae. America may well feel proud of the Interest which her citizens took in the Paris Exposition and the elaborate ex hibits which were prepared with con summate skill and displayed in a man ner not excelled by any other country. Those of Harvesting Machinery in par ticular were most complete and inter esting. The Deering Harvester Com pany, of Chicago, America's foremost manufacturer of this line of goods, was accorded the position of honor, having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than any other manufacturer, living or dead, and with a greater array of Important inven tions to its credit than any other com pany in the world. Visitors to the Exposition wars prompt to accord the Deering exhibits supreme honors, and it only remained for official mandate to ratify the popu lar verdict, which was done in a man ner as substantial as it was well-merited. Each one of the seven Deering ex hibits secured the highest award in its class. In addition to four high decora tions, the Deering Harvester Company received twenty-five awards, or twenty-nine In all, as follows: Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor, Dec oration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Two Decorations of Officer oi Merita Agricole, a Special Certificate of Honor. The Grand Prise, Six Gold Medals, Six Silver Medals and Eleven Bronze Medals, including Deering Col laborator Medals. The Decoration of the Legion or Honor was Instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when First Consul in 1802, and Is only conferred In recognition of distinguished military or civil achievements. It is the highest dis tinction In the gift of the French Re public. The Decoration of the Merite Agri cole Is an honor of but slightly less im portance, which is conferred upon those who have contributed greatly to the advancement of agriculture. An Official Certificate of Honor was accorded the Deering Retrospective Exhibit, which showed the Improve ments In harvesting machinery during the past century, and excited the high est praise of the French Government Officials who had entrusted to the Deering Harvester Company the prep aration of this most important exhibit. By special request this exhibit has been presented to the National Mu seum of Arts and Sciences at Paris, where It has become a permanent fea ture of that world-famed institution. The Deering Twine Exhibit and Corn Harvester Exhibit, both of which re ceived the highest awards, have by request of the French Government been presented to the National Agri cultural College of France. There was no field trial, either offi cial or otherwise, In connection with the Paris Exposition, but the most Im portant foreign contest the past season was held under the auspices of the Russian Expert Commission at tha Governmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia. August 14th to 18th. All the leading American and European machines par ticipated and were subjected 4o the most difficult tests by the Government Agriculturist. The Expert Commission awarded the Deering Harvester Com pany the Grand Sliver Medal of the Minister of Agriculture and Domain, which was the highest award. The Deering Harvester Works are the largest of their kind in the world, covering eighty-five acres and employ ing 9,000 people.
