diately went out to tho harbor
to meet tho mnn-of-wnr. They
found Krugcr on tho cnptaln'H bridge, nl

After their hurried greetings wcro over

was Immediately tearing to tho Bteamor
landing, loaded with reporters, photograph

admitting thorn to tho bcllugged landing
where Krugcr was expected. There was
much lmpatlenco on different parts of tho
docks and after a long wait ono uoider
land boat was seen heading towar us,
The man seated astern in top hat was
mistaken for Krugcr, but ho was only the

to announce that President Krugcr would

then delegated to go aboard and represent
the Btato of mind of tlio population ana

Gelderland's largest boat clipped In BlgUt,
smartly rowed by twenty Dutch tars. Hor
uniformed commander personally captained
tho boat, whllo Ilvo othor olllccrs stood
guard with drawn swords around President
Krugor, who was seated ustorn and sur

from tho stenmers and sailing vessels
along tho routo taken by tho president's
boat.
Ilrpllrn to Illn Wrleome,
When tho old man landed ho removed
IiIb hat, looking tho plcturo of stern dignity,
but his trembling Hps betrayed his emotion
and his countcnanco was extremely sad. Ho
refused tho gilt armchair offered him and
stood whllo tho speeches of welcomo wcro
delivered. Dr. Leyds briefly translated
those, while complete copies wcro handed
to l'rcsmcnt Krugcr, who uanucii mom to

When ho had flnlsliel th ra wero Great th uls
of applause and then Van Ilnmel, who had
bean stenographing tho speech, delivered
It in splendid manner. In French rendering.
Kverbody for the Inst month Iibb been
wondering whether KriiRer would enro to
make n declaration regarding attltudo and
plans, rather expecting him to show some
mildness toward Kngland In order not to
ombarrnBS a, foreign government In what
ever dealings It would have with him, and
preparo tho way for soma compromise, but
from tho moment of his first words all
doubts wcro dispelled. As soon ns ho landed
President Krugcr showed himself the Bnmo
determined defender of tho cause of his
people, who havo compelled tho respect

T0TE FOR PUBLIC SESSIONS
Cuban Constitutional Convention Brings
Long Detato to End.
ASSI0NATE APPEAL MADE TO AUDIENCE
Dclrentc Declare Thnt Cubit Hoe not

Any Itepnhtlo In Ux
litcncc. HAVANA, Nov. 22. Thcro wns a largo
attendance of the public at today's session
of tho Cuban constitutional convention in
tho Marti theater. Au animated discussion
took placo over tho question whether tho
sessions nro to bo public or private. Tho
delegates of tho national pnrty, who were
supposed to bnvo been pledged to support
prlvato sessions, swung over to tho othor
side, only one, Senor Quesnda, voting In
favor ot private sessions, Tho final vote
stood nineteen for public sessions nnd ton
for private.
Senor Kunldo Tnmayo, who Is n candldnto
for tho presidency, mado n passionate ap
peal to tho public In tho gnllnrles to sus
tnln him In hl.l argument for public sessions
and was called to order by tho president of
tho convention, who ruled that a delegato
had no right to nddrcss tho nudlcnco. Con
ulderablo confusion prevailed for a few
moments nnd eventually Senor Tamayo
apologized to tho convention.
Thirty-eight additional nrtlclcs of the
Ynya rules wero adopted ns the rules of tho
convention. Including ono providing that
two-thirds of tho delegates shall constitute
a quorum nnd another directing that, after
organization, tho delegates shall bo allowed
olght days during which to bring In projects
for the basis ot n constitution or complete
drafts.
Senor Llorcnto urged that tho convention
should nppolut u special commltteo to draw
up a constitution. Ho said ho did not be-
llovo thnt nil tho dcleguteB wero cnpablo of
doing work of that character. In his opin
ion tho convention did not want constitu
tions like those of tho South American re
publics or of republics In nny other part of
the world, but somothlng distinctly Cuban.
Senor Capote argued that tho Ynya rule
provided for the appointment of a com
mlttco to consider all schemes presented
nnd to mako a drntt constitution for dls
cusslon.
General Sangullly Bald:
"Tho relations to exist between tho
United Stntc,s and Cuba, although a dellnl
tlon of them wilt not bo Included In tho
constitution, will bo of equal Importance,
and I do not bellovo that n constitution
bhould bo drnvn without considering these,
Every delegnto should present his views
regarding these, relations."
