General Wood Is Accused of| Having Made False i Returns. | Spectal Dispatch to The Cally | HAVANA, March 9.—The general opir- fon among delegates is that the constitu- tional convention will not accept the Pla:t resolution In regard to relations between Cubza and Ahe United States. A member | of the committes of relations of the con- vention said to-day the copy of the Pla‘t | | resolutions, submitted by Governor Ger. eral Wood, would probably be returned to | that official with the statement that the convention cannot accept the suggestions made in the resolutions. The revolutionary press continues to lay much stress on what It claims to be tha reason why the American Congress actc? as it did, that reason being the reports which were sent to the United States d‘d t tell the real state of opinion aad These statements are to a certaln extent directed against Governor General Wood, as his enemics have told the delegates that Wood's re- ports falsified the state of affairs here. It is considered in Havana that the insist- ence of the press on this point may have an ulterior object, such as supplying dele- gates and leaders with an excuse for stirring up the people, whereas if these éxcuses were not made the agitation of the people would amount to a direct cha'- lenge to the American Government. HELENA, Mont., March 9.—‘“Specte” Marsh, a cowboy. shot and wounded Dick Harbison and Smith White, the latter serlously. He was about to fire at Frank Howard when the latter killed him at the first shot. Howard gave himself up and was taken to Glendive. Delegates Are Threatened. Perhaps another reason exists. News has been received in Havana that in some country districts the people have threat- ened to give their delegates a good beat- ing if they accept the Platt scheme of re- | ter in n2ar-by houses, return | ‘ to their domicile. I i on Mongolia), where CORRESPONDENT FURNISHES PROOF THAT RUSSIA IS NOW ACQUIRING ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF MANCHURIA Protectorate Is Established in Mongolia, and by Acts of Stealth It Is Claimed a Large Slice of China Will Become an . ERLIN, March 9.—The Tage- blatt's special correspondent, who has been traveling in Northern Manchuria, Mongolia and on the borders of Siberia and China for a year, whose reports hith- erto have been correct without exception, has furnished his paper with a long let- ter which is published to-day, containing detalls regarding the Russo-Chinese agreement on the subject of Manchuria, Mongolia and Turkestan. He says he is absolutely certain that the published ver- sfon of this agreement is in no way near the actual truth. He then proceeds to give the facts concerning the proposed international administration of that part of China, demonstrating that Manchuria will become an integral part-of Russia more so than even Bolthara. Protectorate Is Established. In regard to Mongolia he says there is no doubt a protectorate has been estab- lished, as is evidenced by the hoisting of Russian flags everywhere, the thorough organization of the district, the estab- lishment of tax collecting offices and the opening of branches of Russo-Chinese banks, with no one but Russian officials in charge. All this virtually has taken | place during the past six months, and be- gan before the Boxer outbreak. The clearest evidence, however, Is contained in an army order issued by General Integral Part of the Czar’s Domain Z 0T T | /,t,:’/-\\“‘fl é ( I:e | T EC.

These people claim when they clected the ‘delegates the latter made a compact with them that in the convention they would fight for independence or death. The Patria says the present momen* would be inopportune for an American fleet to visit Havana. The paper declares the Cubans have received a-rude shock by the adoption of the Platt resolutfon. and perhaps if the officers of the Ameri- can fleet were invited to attend a ball at the Palace, Cubans might refuse to go, even if they were invited. .
