CUBANS AGAINST
PLATT AMENDMENT
Constitutional Convention
Goes On Record.
DEFIANCE TO YOUR UNCLE SAM
Puts Commission In Embarrass
ing Attitude—Spooner Talks
Plainly—Other News.
A Havana special says: The Cuban
constitutional convention placed itself
upon record Friday against the Platt
amendment by a vote of 18 to 10 on a
resolution that the convention should
declare itself opposed to the amend
ment “on account of the terms of some
the clauses, and the way in which
they are drawn, and also on account
of the contents of others, especially
clauses 111, VI and VII.”
The conservatives assert that this
action is embarrassing, inasmuch as
it practically ties the haudß of any
commission that might be sent to
Washington.
NEWSPAPER MEN SENTENCED.
Senors Torrel aud Urritis, respect
ively the editor and director of El Es
tivador, the organ of the stevedores
and lightermen, have been sentenced
by the captain of the port of Havana,
Lieutenant Commander Lucten Young,
to thirty aud sixty days’ imprisonment
respectively. They were charged with
the publication of libellous nrtioles
intended to invite trouble among the
dock laborers of Havana.
At a late hour Friday afternoon both
men were released. It is admitted
that Lieutenant Commander Young’s
court had jurisdiction in the matter of
sentence, but he considered that his
object had been attained in making an
example of two agitators who, it is al
leged, were at the bottom of the re
cent labor troubles, and who had been
even more recently engaged in incit
ing another strike.
The former strike was settled by a
mutual agreement by all parties to re
gard the schedule of wages drawu up
and published iu the official Gazette,
as the law, by El Estivador had been
attacking the schedule as unjust, and
calling upon workmen to resent it.
NEELY TO SELL PROPERTY.
The legal authorities have granted
permission to Charles F. W. Neely to
sell the brick yard and land in Havana
standing in his name. The money
realised will be turned over to the
court and kept in trust until a decision
is reached in connection with his al
leged embezzlement of postal funds.
SPOONER IS EMPHATIC.
“Congress has defined the relations
ifliicb shall exist between the United
States and Cuba, and in my judgment
it will not agree to any modification,”
said Senator Spooner, member of the
senate committee on relations with
Chiba, after a conference at the war de
partment Friday with Secretary Root.
“The terms offered Cuba,” Senator
Spooner continued, “are more in the
interest of the island than that of the
United States. I am confident that
the mass of the people of the island
appreciate the unselfish attitude of
this government, and if they had an
opportunity to declare their views
they would unhesitatingly approve the
relations as defined by congress.”
The attention of the senator was
called to the suggestion that General
Wood should dissolve the convention
and issue a call for another, the peo
ple at the time of the election of dele
gates to vote upon the question of the
aceeptauce of the Platt amendment.
“I have seen that repoit,” he said,
“I know nothing about it. I believe,
however, that the convention after
further consideration of the matter
will come to the conclusion that the
wise course to pursue is to incorporate
in the constitution the terms offered
them.”
Another step toward the establish
ment of full civil government in Cuba
was taken by the appointment by
General Wood of Ernest Sterling as
deputy auditor of the island. Senor
Sterling has been discharging similar
duties for some time past under Major
Lathi, bat is now re-appointed as a
purely civil official.
CIO CASE COMPROMISED.
Government Will Pay $4,000,000 ti
Philadelphia Merchants.
The famous “bat trimmings” cases,
involving about $20,000,000 and which
since 1884 have been the subject of a
bitter legal battle between the govern
ment and a number of Philadelphia
importers, have at last been settled.
It is stated on high authority that a
compromise has been effected through
which the merchants interested will
receive about $4,000,000 from the
United States treasury in full settle
ment of the much larger amount they
claim to have been forced to pay ia ex
cess of legal duties.
MILLIONS OF LIABILITIES.
Once Wealthy New York Banker Now
Has Only $25 in Assets.
William C. Coffin,of New York City,
who was a former partner in the bank
ing house of Coffin & Stanton, which
made a general assignment in 1894,
tiled a petition in bankruptcy in the
United States district court Friday.
He schedules his liabilities at $4,150,-
907 and assets at $25, which is
cash in bank. The secured claims
, amout to $2,986,172.
CUBAN COMMISSION.
Five Delegates to Visit Washing
ton are Selected By the Ha
vana Convention.
A Manila special says: The trial of
Commissary Sergeant John Meston,
charged with complicity in the com
missary frauds, is finished. No verdict
was announced and Meston’s convic
tion is uncertain. Other trials of
those implicated will follow.
Captain James C. Read, formerly
depot commissary at Manila, has been
arrested.
It is alleged that entries upon the
books of Evans & Cos., government
contractors, indicate that the commis
sary officers received the following
sums:
Major George B. Davies, upward of
$1,000; Captain James C. Read, $1,000;
Captain Frank H. Lawton, $750; Mr.
B. Tremaine, Colonel Woodruff’s chief
clerk, S7OO.
It also appears that Evans & Cos.
furnished the handsome residence of
Colonel Woodruff. Harold L. Pitt,
manager of Evans <fc Cos., who is now
under arrest, was notoriously lavish in
entertaingiug commissiary and other
officers, while the depot commissary,
a frequenter of the “tenderloin dis
trict,” occasionally spent days at Pitt’s
house iu questionable society. Pitt’s
bouse is a bacchanalian rendezvous,
and prominent officers frequently visit
it, drinking champagne and playing
poker. Women of doubtful reputa
tion have been known to be there. It
is alleged that Pitt had the inside
track in securing government con
tracts, and it is also asserted he was the
prime mover in the scheme to re-estab
lish cock pits iu Manilla, Mrs. Lara
being subsidized in securing a cock
pit.
It is asserted that the commissary
deparment made unauthorized pur
chases of quantities of champagne.
Pitt sold some. In addition t*
what the transports brought the com
missary imported 200 gallons iu Feb
ruary and a like amount in March.
The commissary and the commissary
sergeant kept private carriages auu
indulged in other extravagancies.
The Methodists in Manila are plan
ning a vigorous proselyting campaign.
Bishop Warren, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, has just arrived and
the native converts are inthusiastic.

THE PUiUU KIGANS
NOT PROSPEROUS
Says Native Commissioner
From the Island.
ALLEN IS ROUNDLY ROASTED
Statements Made By Governor
Regarding Conditions Are
Branded As False.
A New York dispatch says: Reply
ing to the public utterances of Gover
nor Allen, of Porto Rico, since his ar
rival in Washington, Wenceslao Borda,
Porto Rican commissioner Thursday
made the following statement:
“The question at issue between
Governor Allen aud the commission
ers are merely two:
“First, whether his administration
in Porto Rico has been conducive to
the prosperity aud welfare of the
island; second, whether the Hollander
revenue law was such a measure as
should have been passed, and, with
out a hearing, approved by the chief
executive of Porto Rico. Governor
Allen has gone out of his way to attack
personally the commissioners -when he
says that the members of the so-called
commission are foreigners; one a
Spaniard, one a South American and
one an Englishman. We fail com
pletely to see how this assertion, even
were it true, could affect the merits of
our case, but. we do think that it shows
his arguments must be poor when he
has to vail himself of one of this
nature.
“Governor Allen states that Porto
Rico has never before, in its history,
been so prosperous; that more persons
are employed today than before; that
the sugar crop will yield 100,000 tons.
He shows, however, no facts or figures
to substantiate these assertions. They
are, therefore, mere statements of an
interested official. There is no more
truth in them than ihere is to the
statement that we are tax dodgers and
that the rest of the Porto Ricans are
well satisfied with the situation. Now
comes a Porto Rican labor leader,
Santiago Iglesias, with a petition
signed by 6,000 workmen which de
clared that the condition of the Porto
Ricans could not be worse. These
people certainly are not tax dodgers.
“Governor Allen is apt to believe
that everybody who criticises his ad
ministration is bad, but he cannot call
his new crities tax dodgers, whatever
else he may call them, since they have
nothing that can be taxed.
“Porto Rico is not as prosperous as
he would like the people of the Unit
ed Ststes to believe, as is eloquently
and conclusively shown by the cus
toms statistics.
“It is misleading to compare the
exports and imports of this year, that
is to say, the production and consump
tion of the island, with that of the
years of the war and hurricane. The
test contrast should be made, to be
fair, with the fiscal year just previous
to our occupation of Porto Rico and
with the present fiscal year, which, ac
cording to Governor Allen, is also a
normal one. The exports during the
former year amounted to about $19,-
000,000 pesos, or #11,400,000. The
imports to about $18,000,000 pesos, or
about $10,800,000, a balance of trade
in favor of the island of 1,000,000
pesos, or $600,000.
The exports from May 1, 1900, to
February 28, 1901, were #5,814,083,
and the imports #3,100,000, a balance
of trade against the islaud of $2,285,-
917, which is wholly unsupportable
and spells ruin when it js recalled
that our circulation is less than
#2,000,000 and that Porto Rico has
lost her credit in the commercial
world.
“Governor Allen states that never
has there been the number of laborers
employed as at present. He fails to
offer the grounds for this belief. The
production of the island does not show
it. The alarming emigration of labor
ers to Ecuador, Cuba, Hawaii and
Santo Domingo, which he admits is
taking place, emphatically belie the
governor’s assertion in this respect.
“Why does not the governor men
tion the other industries of the island
besides sugar? We answer, because
misgovernment has nearly wiped them
out.”

Leering Collaborator Medals. *
Tho Decoration of Legion of Honor was in,

of tho French Republic.
Tho Decoration of Merit© Agricole is an
honor of but slightly less importance, which
is conferred upon those who have contributed,
greatly to the advancement of agriculture.
An Official Certificate of Honor was accord

the highest praise of the French Government
Officials who had entrusted to the Deering
Harvester Company the preparation of tbii
most important exhibit. By special request
this exhibit has been presented to the National
Museum of Arts and Sciences at Paris, whera
it has become a permanent future of that
world-famed institution.
The Deering Twine Exhibit and Corn Har
vester Exhibit, both of which received th*
highest awards, havo by request of the French
Government been presented to the National
Agricultural College of France.
There was no field trial, cither official or
otherwise, in connection with tbs Paris Expo
sition, but the most important foreign contest
the past season was held under the auspice* of
the Russian Expert Commission at the Gov
ernmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia, August
11th to 18th. All the lending American and
European machines participated and were
subjected to the most difficult test* by th*
Government Agriculturist. The Expert Com
mission awarded the Deering Harvester Com -
pany the Grand Silver Medal of the Minister
of Agriculture and Domain, which was th*
highest award.
The Deering Harvester Works are the larg
est of their kind in the world, covering eighty
five acres and employing 9000 people. They
are equipped with modern automatic ma
chines, many of which perform the labor of
from five to fifteen hands.
This Company is also the largest manufac
turer of Binder Twino in the world, having
been first to produce single-strand binder
twine, such as is in general use today, making
over a third of the product of the entir*
world. The output of its factory for a singl*
day would tie a band around the earth at tn*
•quator, with several thousand mile* to spare.
The annual production would fill a freight
train twenty miles long. Made into a mat two
feet wide, it would reach across the American
Continent from ocean to ocean.
Deering machines are known as Lids'*
Draet Deals, consisting of Binders, Mowers,
Reapers, Corn Harvesters, Shredder* and
Rakes.
