APPROVED BY CUBA
Scheme of Relations -With
the United Statesr
SIGNED BY THE CONVENTION
American Lately Returned From
the Inlands Declare the Cnbnn
Are Xot Yet Ready for Self-
Gorernment.
HAVANA, Feb. 27. The 1 institutional
convention remained In session until 3
o'clock this morning, completing: the work
on the constitution referring; to the re
lations between Cuba and the United
States. A public session was held this
afternoon to approve the following reso
lutions, which have been adopted:
"First The Government of Cuba will
not make treaty or agreement with any
foreign power which may compromise or
limit the Independence of Cuba, or which
may permit or authorize any power to
obtain, by means of colonization or for
military or naval purposes, any foothold
or authority or right over any portion
of Cuba.
"Second The Government will not per
mit its territory to be used as a base of
operations for war against the United
States or against any foreign nation.
"Third The Government of Cuba ac
cepts in its entirety the treaty of Paris,
in which are affirmed the rights of Cuba,
to the extent of the obligations which
are explicitly Indicated in these, nd es
pecially those which International law
Imposes for the protection .of life and
property, and substitutes Itself "for the
"United States in the pledge, which they
assumed in that sense according to ar
ticles 12 and 16 of the treaty of Paris.
"Fourth Cuba recognizes as legally
valid all acts Of the military Government
during the period of occupation, also tho
rights arising out of them, in conformity
with the joint resolution and the Foraker
amendment and the existing laws of the
country.
"5. The Governments of the United
States and Cuba ought to regulate their
commercial regulations by means of a
treaty based on reciprocity, and with ten
dencies towards free trade in natural and
manufactured products, mutually assur
ing ample special advantages In their re
spective markets."
The preamble, which is long, sets forth
the receiving of the letters from General
Wood outlining the wishes of, the Wash
ington Executive regarding future rela
tions. It asserts that the convention an
derstood the desire of tne Executive, to
bring about the specified relation, with "the
object of securing the independence of
Cuba, and that the suggestion as to the
naval stations was mace on those lines.
"But this, in itself," the preamble goes on
to say, "would militate against the Inde
pendence which both parties desire to
preserve."
Regarding the other conditions for pre
serving peace, such as raising loans, the
preamble points out that these are fully
covered by the constitution, which docu
ment. In the opinion of the convention,
amply protects Independence, including
liberal laws as to the rights of foreigners
and individual rights. Regarding the san
itary question, the preamble declares that
the future government should make ar
rangements with the United States to pro
tect that country as well as Cuba. The
convention clearly Implies that its action
will not bind the future government, for
the last part of the preamble reads? "The
convention considers that relations might
exist if the first government under the
Republic thinks it advisable."
TOO EARLY FOR WITHDRAWAL.
Cnban Not Able to Form n Stable
Government.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Several of the
passengers on the steamer Havana, which,
has just arrived from Havana, express
the opinion that Cuba Is not in a political
condition to receive her Independence.
Dr. W C. Phelps, of Buffalo, said:
"Uncle Sam must stay In Cuba Every
body with whom I conversed In Cuba
wants the United States to stay there.
It is only the rabble, or negroes, consist
ing of about 30 per cent of the entire pop
ulation of Cuba, who yell for 'free Cuba
and these shiftless people are merely
fire-eaters.' If they got their freedom
some other nation would step In and take
the Island from them for debt. I must
say that the streets of Havana are clean,
and that the general health Is remarkably
good. The great trouble In Cuba Is that
there is nothing fit to eat."
Joseph Howard, the journalist, said:
"If the United States tries to leave Cuba
next June, as is talked of. soldiers will
have to get back there pretty quick to
avert a state of anarchy which would un-1
doubtedly follow their withdrawal. 'Cap
ital Is apprehensive. There Is np trade.
All are waiting. Americans and the cap
italists want the retention of the United
States troops."
Instruction to "Wood.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. According to a
special to the Times from Washington.
Secretary Root was in communication
with General Wood last night, and there
was a long conference between them on
the subject of the Cuban amendment to
the Army bill. The communication was by
direct wire. The conference was a
protracted one. and in the course of it
Secretary Root gave the Governor the
lull texL of the amendment. After hear
ing his views on the subject he gave him
certain instructions, the nature of which
is not divulged.
It is understood that General Wood will
now cease his efforts to hurry the Cuban
convention in its formulation of a plan of
international relations. Originally it was
the design of the Administration that" the
flrst proposition would come from Cuba,
hut now that the United States is taking
tha initiative there s not the same mo
tive for haste that there was before.
BASEBALL RULES
Amended try the National Lengae
Magnates.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. The National
Baseball League magnates today consid
ered the playing rules. A rule was adopt
ed which does away with the Intentional
"fouling off" of pitched balls by a. bats
man. The first and second foul "balls
hit by the batsman, unless two strikes
have already "been called against him
shall henceforth "be counted, as strikes.
Rule 2so..2 was altered so that the catcher
will have to stand within 10 feet. Instead
of 90 feet of the plate. A rule making the
pitcher deliver the bait to the batsman
as coon .-as the latter takes his. position
nt the plate wa.st adopted. Should the
pitcher dellver-thcball'to-anyother player
than the plate, a ball will be called for
each delivery. The American Association
practically yielded up the ghost early in
the afternoon.

CARNEGIE'S THREAT.
Drought About the Mo reran Steel
Combination.
NEW YORK, FebTzT. The Times says:
After having maintained silence on the
subject of the new steel combination for
many .weeks, J. P. Morgan, while in his
jfflce, after he had read a Boston publi
cation, which contained an article entitled,
"The United Steel Corporation a Unifica
tion of Great Interest," said:
"That is the best statement of the sit
uation that has yet come to my notice.
Had I written it myself, I could not have
stated the situation better."
The article makes the following state
ment, which is the first authentic admis
sion of the questions which brought the
consolidation about:
"Mr. Carnegie recently threatened to
duplicate the mills of various makers of
finished products because enough raw ma
terial was not being purchased from his
mills. The companies making the finished
products threatened retaliation into the
Carnegie field, with the result that a sort
of industrial chaos was threatening in the
steel and Iron trades and the security 1
markets of this country. How Mr. Mor
gan was brought Into the mat
ter is stated, as follows: Mr. Car
negie said he must progress or
go out of business. Other Interests said
they must do the same thing. J. P. Mor
gan was asked to furnlMi some plan ol
sqlutlon. .With great reluctance he took
hold of the- situation. Before proceeding
however, Mr. Morgan demanded that $200.
000,000 should be promised him by respon
sible banking and financial Interests,
should so much money be needed. The mon
ey was promised and Mr. Morgan set to
work, Mr. Carnegie had the largest plant
and the strongest position and named his
terms of sale. He, however, signified his
willingness to take securities In lieu of
cash and negotiations proceeded wry rap
idly." LETTER FROM KIDNAPERS.

CHICAGO. Feb. 27. E. A. Cudahy, the

The letter was mailed at Waukegan, Ill
yesterday, and sent to Omaha. Mr. Cud

transcript of the letter by telegraph.
"I do not know whether the letter Is
authentic or a hoax," said Mr. Cudahy
to a reporter. "I will iy no attention

WASHINGTON", Feb. 27. The House
had a busy day of routine, agreeing to
the conference reports on the fortifica
tions. District of Columbia and the Mil
itary Academy bills, the last-named con
taining the antl-hazlng legislation. The
naval appropriation bill was sent back to
conference after the defeat of a motion
to concur In the Senate's provision for
three more submarine torpedo boats. The
Louisiana Purchase Exposition bill,
which has been In a precarious parlia
mentary state, was finally sent to confer
ence for an adjustment of differences.
Several bills for statutes were disposed
of by parliamentary maneuvers. The

CUBAN REVOLUTIONIST'S IDEA OF INDEPENDENCE.
S50n the House meet at 11 o'clock Instead
of noon, as heretofore. The speaker's
table was cleared of some minor business
and Hull (Rep. la.) then called up the
conference report on the .Military Acad
emy appropriation bill. It was the same
report previously agreed to, but rejected
by the Senate on account of the provision
against hazing which had been modified.
Hull commended the compromise which
had been reached and expressed the opin
ion that if the report was rejected tho
bill would fall. McCall (Rep. Mass.) said
he was willing to accept the compromise
If no stronger provision against hazing
could be procured. Dick (Rep. O.). chair
man of the committee which Investigated
the death of Boor, gave It as his opin
ion that the compromise contained in the
conference report was the only legisla
tion which could be enacted Into law dur
ing this Congress. After some further re
marks by Hepburn (Rep. In.), and Driggs
(Dcm. N. Y.), the report was adopted
without division.
The conference report on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill was agreed to.
as was also the conference report on the
fortifications appropriation bill.
A motion to recede and concur In the
Senate amendment to the Naval appro
priation bill, providing for three sub
marine torpedo-boats, was lost, 117 to 131.
The bill was then sent back to confer
ence. Loud (Rep. Cal.), chairman of the post
office committee, presented a partial con-
i ierence report upon the postofflcc ap
propriation bill
lnvolvlng only the minor
matters at Issue between the two houses
and it was agreed to without divlslo.
Tawney (Rep. Minn.), chairman of the
special committee on the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition, was then recognized by
the Speaker and asked unanimous con-
J sent to consider the Senate amendments
to the St. Louis exposition bill. Sims
(Dem. Tenn.) objected, whereupon Taw
ney moved to suspend the rules and non
concur In the Senate amendments and
agree to the conference asked by the
Senate. After some debate on the Sun
day opening question, the motion pre
vailed without division.

comin,"5e on appropriations today com-
p eKed the consideration of the sundry
I clv appropriation bill. The committee I
recommends additional appropriations
amounting to $3,372,572, and reductions
reaching $219,000. the net total carried
by the bill being $G2,7o9.7K. Among the
items of increase are the following:
Pcstofllce at Butte, under present
limit 575.C00
Point Dume. Cal.. light and fog sig
nal station 43 000
Fish hatchery In Utah 25,000
Military quarters. Fort D. A. Rus

Wyo., each , 50,000
The principal Items of decrease are:
Coast Survey salaries $ 10,000
Barracks and quarters. 70 posts.... 100,000

WAR REVENUE REDUCTION.
Indication! Are Thnt n Complete Ad
justment In "Xot Far Off.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. The .Republi
can conferees on the revenue reduction
bill have reached an agreement on many
of the Items in controversy in addition to
those on beer, tobacco, bank checks and
medicines, heretofore given. The Houee
provision repealing the tax on insurance
policies, life and fire, are retained. The
Senate provision regarding conveyances
of real estate, etc, are passed over those
of the House, which made a complete re
peal of all taxes on conveyances. The
Senate provision exempts conveyances un
der $2500. and Imposes a tax of 25. cents
for each $500 over 12500. The numerous
special taxes on theaters, circuses, and ex
hibitions are taken off, as provided by the
House. Besides the compromise of. 19 CO
on tobacco, cigarettes come In for much
discussion. But. owing to some ques
tion as to the rights of the conferees over
this item, the rate on cigars probably will
remain at $3 per thousand. The rate Is
that fixed by the House, and is a repeal
of the entire CO cents added for war pur
poses. The" Senate proposition was to
take off half of the CO cents, making the
rate $3 SO.
The understanding thus far reached is
looked upon as likely to be final, although
the conferees themselves say that no for
mal agreement has yet been arrived at,
and It will not be unless the Democratic
conferees are called In that a final step
can be taken. Republican members are
continuing their meetings on the .various
items still open with the prospect that
the complete adjustment Is not far off.
A new proposition has been agreed upon
as to steamship tickets, the tax being
fixed at 50 cents on each 50, and 25 cents
on each additional $50. There will be no
tax on tickets under $50.

WHAT CHINA SHALL PAY
FOREIGN' ENVOYS TAKE UP THE
QUESTION OF INDEMNITIES.
Reports of Famine In Slien SI Prov
ince Arc Not Credited Particulars
ot the Executions In Pekln.
PEKIN, Feb. 27. The committee of the
Ministers met today to decide on the
general basis of the- Indemnities to be
discussed at the meeting of the Ministers
tomorrow. .
The accounts ot the fearful famine In
the Province of Shen SI, where horses are
said to be dying from lack of food and
water, are not believed here. It Is thought
the court ordered the publication of these
reports In order to frighten off the expe
dition threatened.
A crowd of fully 10,000 persons witnessed
the execution of Chlh Su and Hslu Cheng
Yu, who were beheaded here today In
accordance with the demands of the pow
ers. The members of the various Lega
tions were conspicuously absent, feeling
that If they were present they might
seem to be gloating over their fallen ad
versaries. Every power, however, was
largely represented by military officials
and soldiers, and there was also present
a staff from each of the foreign powers.
Besides these, many missionaries wit
nessed the executions. The condemned
men met death stoically. In each case-
one blow severed tne head irom tne
body.
At the time the- execution was being
carried out, the Ministers held a meeting
and determined, on the part of the ma
jority, to draw a curtain over further
demands for blood. United States Spe
cial Commissioner Rockhlll sided strongly
with those favoring humane methods,
who are Sir Ernest Satow and MM. Ko
mura, De Cologan and De Glers. respect
ively British. Japanese, Spanish and Rus
sian Ministers. Others believe that China
has not been sufficiently punished, and
that men should be executed In every
city, town and village where foreigners
werp Injured. The minority Is composed
of those who were not here during the
siege, -In audition to Dr. Mumm von
Schwarzensteln, the German Minister,
while those who wero besieged here are
of a more peaceable frame of mind, In
cluding M. de Glers and Senor de Cologan,
both of whom are of the opinion that It
is a mistake to let those who suffered as
the besieged Ministers did, conduct the
peace negotiations with the Chinese.
However, It is safe to say that little
more bloodshed will be demanded.
Another Important point that was
brought upfcat the meeting was that of
the Legation quarters. Mr. Rockhlll im
pressed the Ministers by his remarks re
garding the protest of Sir Robert Hart
(chief of the Chinese imperial maritime
customs) against the seizure of his prop
erty to increase the area for legations,
saying that the services rendered the
powers by the financial representatives of
China should have prevented the Indigni
ties and spoliation Inflicted. The fee-llntr
ls general that Italy should recede from
her position and return the property
she has taken, and that If It Is necessary
for her to Increase her legation, she
should take the land elsewhere. Dr.
Mumm von Schwarzensteln, the German
Minister, find the Marquis Salsbo Raggi.
the Italian representative, expressed high
appreciation of Sir Robert Hart and re
gretted that matters of state made neces
sary the taking of lands of the customs
official. Sir Ernest Satow and Mr. Rock
hlll thought an exception should certainly
be made of Sir Robert Hart's personal
property, and that the limits of the lega
tion should be defined the same as pub
lished. The British have i-ompleted the taking
over of the railroad from the Russians
They have found that the reports of the
wholesale looting of the workshops by the
Russians were exaggerated.
The RiHo-CIiIiiee Treaty.
LONDON, Feb. 27. The Pekln corre
spondent of the Times, wiring a precis of
the draft of tho Manchurlan convention,
says:
"Russia requires China to sign a con
vention consisting of 12 articles. The
first says the Czar is willing to forget the
recent hostilities, and consents to allow
China to -resume civil government. The
other articles virtually place complete
control In Russian hands. They exclude
Chinese troops, demand the degradation
of high officials Implicated in the recent
disturbances, and exclude persons of
other nationalities from official positions.
In Manchuria, Mongolia and Chinese Tur
kestan, no concessions shall be granted
to persons of any other nationality, nor
can China construct any railroad. No
land around New Chwang can be leased
to foreigners. The remaining clauses
deal with Indemnities.

To be free from backache is a luxury
that many women hardly ever realize.
"It seems as If my back would break,"
Is an expression often heard.
Of course there are many other causes
for backache besides pelvic citarrh, but
this Is by far the most frequent cause.
The backache becomes to such women a
sort of physiological barometer by which
they can tell the approach of a storm, or
the recurrence of a menstrual period.
The large muscles of the back have
become so weakened by the exhaustive
drain, that Instead of sustaining the deli
cate mechanism of the woman's anatomy,
they remain loose and flabby, serving only
as the seat of myalgia or neuralgia, or
else muscular rheumatism. Ache and
pain seems to be the only use such mus
cles are good for.
