HAVANA, May 21. At today's session ...
the Cuban constitutional convention
Senores (lullborto Goraci anil Hllva wl'h
drew the minority report of the committee
on relations nml substituted lor It the old
majority report of the committee which
was drawn up before tho commission went
to Washington and was signed by Senores
Gullberto Gomez, Sllvn and Vlllucndas, but
which was never acted upon by the con
vention, becnuso It was ii rejection of the
I'lntt amendment, particularly In rcspict of
tho right of Intervention and the coiling
stations.
This action of Senor Gcmes: Is attributed
to tho bitter nttnek made upon him yes
terday by the radicals for having accepted
portions of the Watt amendment. Senor
Vlllucndas asked that bis name be stncKon
off tho old report, thus making It the rcpr.rt
of the minority and declared that ho now
favored tho majority report now before the
convention.
Senor Sangullly made a blttor attack on
Bonor Gomez and the radicals, nsjcrtlng
that the United States had always been
fair and honorable In their dealings with
Cuba, that the policy of the Washington
government was to establish tho republic
and that tho concessions asked by the
United States were necessary to maintain
tho republic. He spoke for nearly two
hours. The convention adjourned without
coming to a vote.

WASHINGTON. Vny 21. G pernor Charles
II. Allen of Porto Rico has presented to the
president, through tho State department,
his first annual report. The governor ex
presses the oplnlou that"' a scheme of
colonial administration,, such as Is found
In, tho Danish, French and English West
Indies, wl(tht-hB6fely-1nstltutfd, VwHh
variation dependent dpqnitha future policy
of tho home government. The governor ro
ters to tbe mftny suggestions offered that the
form of territorial government adopted In
tho United States bo applied to Porto Rico,
but points out that n otandard form of
such governmont, while useful In the United
Statos,1 would not apply successfully to this
Island possession. He calls attention to
the fact that while In such close proximity
to tho United States Porto Rico has been
i comparatively unknown Island to Amerl-
lans
"I feel, as tho result of a year's close
itudy on tho spot of all conditions sur
rounding this problem," said Governor
Mien, "that congress went quite as far ns
It could safely venture In the form of gov
rrnment existing on tbe Island, and ns the
result of oxpcrlcncn and observation I
fully brllevo with good men devoted to the
work the Island will develop faster under
uch form, Its people, through experience
and education will advance more ranldly In
their knowledge of civic virtues under a
guidance of present methods than could be
gained In any other way."
Tho governor speaks plainly In present-
Ing the' reason why this Island has been at
n. nrantlcal standstill for nearly four cen-
turlcs and says that In n climate whore a
man can Ho In a hammock, nick a banana
with orio hand and dig a sweet potato with
one foot tho incentive to Idleness Is easy
to yield to and brings Its inevltablo conse-
quenccs.
In conclusion Governor Allen urged the
Introduction of fresh blood and Anlo-Saxon
push and energy as tho means ct lifting tho
little Island out of Its lethargy and by
thrift and Industry develop Its riches to
their full measure.

SOUTHAMPTON, May 21. (New York

King Edward arrived tonight for the pur
pose of witnessing the first trial between
the Shamrocks. Acting on tho king's ex
press desire, urrauKoments have been made
to secure tho privacy of his visit, and ac
cordingly there will ho no public demon
stration. On alighting from tho train hla
majesty, accompanied by Sir Thomas Up
ton and Mr. Jameson, proceeded quietly on
board tho Erin, whero he spent the night.
The king Is expected to sail on the chal
lenger, and thus make himself thoroughly
acquainted with the capabilities of tho
new boat, In which he evinces the keenest
Interest.
The challenger's defeat today was de
served, as when beating from Warner to
Nab Rock, Jameson, who steered with poor
Judgment, badly overrearhed and let Sham
rock I cut htm out at the mark. Stretching
of tho bobsalls, though, did not fully ex
plain tho falling off at windward work, as
the challenger lost Its way, often plunging
Into tho head seas.
Ipton, when Interviewed, said he was
ntly disappointed. Watson said that
all now yachts had weaknesses which
only tests discovered. Ho was satisfied
that the boat would coni.i out all right.
Jameson was lost In admiration of Sham
rock 1'b condition and handling.

WASHINGTON, May 21. Secretary Root
has unproved the action of the board o
officers at west l-oint, wnicn rccomraenacu
the dismissal of five cadets and the sus
penslou of six others. This sustains the
courso of Colonel Mills and the other
omcors in ma recent msturoanccs at me
acaaom).
Colonel Mills, superintendent of the mil
Ury academy, had a long consultation with
the secretary of war today relative to re
cent disorders among the cadets at West
Point. Tho papers In the cases or tne ca
dets who have been tried for offenses
against tho authorities have been In tbe
department for some time. Superintendent
Mills explained tho condition at the acad-
emy, Insisting that many of the published
reports wero exaggerated. The present
difficulty grows out of the attempt to sup
press hazing and the restrictions that have
been made In this direction since Colonel
Mills became superintendent.
The superintendent spoke In tho highest
terms of the cadets and thought It was
only a question ot a short time beforo the
customary conditions would be resumed.
Th matter of discipline was In auestlon

MRS. B0NINE HELD FOR JURY
Coroner'H Impiest Over Mnn
Ihnt She
CoufeiiaeH to Ilnte
Killed.
WASHINGTON, May 21. The coroner's
Jury which has been investigating the
murder of James S, Ayres, tho young
census office clerk, at tho Hotel Kenmore
last Wednesday morning, today brought in
the following verdict: "James Seymour
Ayres came to his death Wednesday, May
15, 1001, about the hour of 2 o'clock a, in
at tho Hotel Kenmore from a pistol shot
wound In thu chest. Further, that said
shot was fired during a fatal conflict be
tween said James Seymour Ayres and Lola
Ida Henri Donlne. We, the coroner's Jury,
hold Lola Ida Henri Uonlno for the grand
Jury."
Before tho Jury rendered its verdict a
number of witnesses were heard. An ef
fort was made to show that Miss Mlnas
could easily have beard voices through the
door connecting her room with that of
Ayres and that lights could have been seen
through tho cracks. Detectives Horn and
Wecdon testified to this effect, but Miss
Mlnas declared that she saw no lights on
the night of the shooting. She also testl-
tied that the cries she heard coming from
Ayres' room were mado hy a man's volco
and not by a woman's. Sho was positive
that tho voice was not that of Mrs. Uonlne.
This contradicts Mrs. Ilonlno, who, In her
cn'CS8lon yeiterday, said that sho had
uttered tho only vocal sounds made In the
room at the time ot the tragedy. Detec-
tlvo Home's testimony concerning yester-
day's confession was not materially dlffer-
ent from the statement as then given out.
Attorney Gould says that Mrs.
Uonlno had decided not to appear beforo
the coroner'o Jury.

NEW YORK, May 21. At tho annual
meeting of the American Institute of Elec
trlcnl Engineers held hero tonight Arthur
E. Kennelly, ex-presldent of tho Institute,
read n technical paper on n now storage,
battery Invented and perfected by Thomas
A, Edison. From this report and from tho
discussion thereon by the members of tho
lnstltuto, It would seem that tho new lnven
tlon Is of great Interest scientifically,
mechanically and chemically. It has aa
yet not beon applied to commercial usages
Scientifically, it promises to do much, and
as Mr. Edison has tested his Invention
most thoroughly In his laboratory, beforo
tho announcement of this evening, there Is
tho probability of Its furtllllng tho claims
mado In Its behalf, Weight for weight
size nnd cost being cqunl, tho now storago
battery will do about two and ono times
as much work as tho present battery o
commerce.
As an Illustration, It Is claimed that
whero nn automobile will now run, say
fifty miles, with tho now Edison batteries
tho same, vr-hlclo will run about 125 mites

WASHINGTON, May 21. Roth the Navy
and War departments nre apprehvuslvo as
to thn effects of the niachtutstn' strike on
government work now In progress. The
Navy department received word that the
Btrtke had sptead lo largo private yards
on tho Pacific coast, where a number of
warships art under construction nnd It Is
expected that cistern yards having naval
ships to build, also will be affected, The
Wur dopartmont wus informed that tho
strike was likely to stop work on the two
naval transports, Egbert and Rosecrans,
now repairing on the Pacific coast. Secre
tary Root asked tho Navy department to
assist in forwarding the work ponding the
tlcup and Acting Socrotary Hnckett of the
navy orderod that the two army transports
bo taken to the navy yard .it Urennnerton,
on Pugct Sound, for tho completion of their
repairs.
None of tho government yards ran bo af
fected by tho strike, us an olght-hour day
prevails In all government work. Word
has reached tho department that govern
ment employes nro contributing funds In
support of the strike movement, but no
nttcntlon will bo paid to this matter.
For Joint Conference.
NEW YORK, May 21. Henry Devcns,
rgent for the Metal Trades' association,
today went to the headquarters of tho
strikers immediately after the meeting at
tho Astor house had adjourned. His mis
sion was to pavo the way for a Joint con
ference In which tho strikers could state
tholr grievances nnd their demands, so that
tho employers could find out what the men
anted. Mr. Dovens Bald that he had got
little satisfaction. Tho men said thev
ould have to telegraph to the national
headquarters at Washington before they
could do- buch a thing. He hoped they
would decide to meet the employers.
Vhen tho district executive board of tbe
International Association of Machinist adr
Journed tonight tho member were much
leted. a they, said there Wnr fair
'.)rf tfriencMs1' wtt-h. the etn-
pioyers would be settled,- hhd letdedln
favor of the men, before many more hours
bad passed.
Ah far as Now York City is concerned the
machinists practically considered that they
had things their own way and the members
of the executlvo board congratulated each
titer upon tho fact that all the larger firms
had come to terms. It was announced that
'resident O'Conncll had sent word that
the machinists could appoint a conference
committee.
Wish to Present Their Side.
According to Mr. Dovens, the purpose of
tho Metal Trades association in asking for
tho conferonco is to gain an opportunity
to lay beforo tho machinists fairly the sit
uation. Mr. Dovens says there Is no ques
tion but tho machinists, under existing
agreements, are entitled to a nine-hour
day. This the employers are willing to
concede. But the question at the bottom
of tho present difficulty Is whether or not
ten hours' pay for nine hours work Is to
follow tho Introduction of tho nine-hour
system. The members of the Motal Tradro
association say thero Is not a word about
the wage question In the agreement and
that under another clause of that docu
ment all such questions when difficult to
settle nro to be decided by arbitration, tho
men remaining nt work pending a solution.
At the conference, the. committee of the
Metal Trades association will demand that
the men return to work and refer the wage
question to tho board of arbitration.
Business Agent Constant Booth ot tho
machinists said tonight: "There will be
no arbitration. This matter has gone too
far for arbitration."
From the Executive Hoard.
A statement was given out tonight by the
executive board of the Machinists associa
tion In which they say: "We are willing
to meet the manufacturers at any time, and
we are willing to come to nn agreement
with them at any time, providing the nine
hour day without any decrease In pay be
granted.
"Tbo nine-hour day In the machinists
trade has come at last and there Is nothing
unfair In our demand, as the employers
have had a year to prepare their contracts
accordingly. We hnve certainly acted fairly
In waiting that length of time.
'Regarding tho arbitration feature of the
agreement, we can say that we have re
ligiously observed that. Many violations of
that agreement have occurred on the part
of the members of tho Metal Trades' as
sociation, and wo have endeavored, both
through our local and national officials in
the various cities to have questions taken
up nnd arbitrated, but the employers'
answer to our appeal has generally been
adverse."
Thu Storm Centers,
The storm centers of the strike are In
Cincinnati, O., and on the Pacific coast.
Tho number of firms that have signed
agreemcnto was augmented today by about
a hundred, which brings tho aggregate of
tbo establishments making the concessions
to 1,000 In round numbers during the past
threo or four days. Savo In one or two In
stances, as at Scranton, the allied trades
have not yet beon nffectod, It Is claimed at
general headquarters of tho machinists,
however, that whero agreements are not
effected by this afternoon or tomorrow
many of the men In the allied trades will
go out In tho Individual shops where tho
machinists are already out. The estimate
of President O'Conncll of the International
Association of Machinists, as to the number
of strikers today remains at SO.OOO ap
proximately, tho same flguro as given yes
terday. Vork Tenrher for Philippines,
CHICAGO, May 2t. Ola S, Medlar has
been appointed by tho faculty of North
western university as a teachor in the Phil
ippines, in response to a request from tho
government to select a student for 'this
purpose Mr, Medlar lives In York, Neb.,
and 1h a graduate student and a fellow at
