Washingt )N, april 24 The com mission of five delegates from the Cuban Constitutional Convention, consisting of Dunrngo Mmdez Capote, Pedro E Betancourt, Rafael M. Por monda, Diego Tamayo, and Pedro Gonziles Doreuto, who were sent to Wa hmglon to confrr with the Presi dent regarding the Cuban relations with this country, arrived here this morning together with an interpreter and representatives of the Havana press. They were met at the station y Assistant Secretary of State Htli, Assistant S cretary of War Sanger, Captain 8alellrt and Lieutenant Over ion of the United States army, detailed for that purpose, and escorted to the Sh- riham Tbe deleaates con V' red wi.b ih reception committee through an interpreter, though most of them p-aa E iglisb very well, It wab staUd hat arrangements for their visit to the President would be made thiough the War Department. The delegates remained at their hotel most of the morning, as they were fatigued by the long railroad trip from Florida Quite a number of officials oiled, including Assistant Secretary Hi 1 of the Slate Department' and As -ilant Secretary Sanger of-the War Department, who left cards ludividu ally for each member of tbe delega tion. When inquiry was made of Mr. Diego Tamayo, one of the delegates. us to tbe plans of the party, he au- swered through tbe interpreter, Mr. Entei.za, that the delegation felt it would be discourteous to enter up n a scussion oi their business before they called upon tbe Secretary of War. Arrangements have been made at the War Department by which the Secrttary of. War will receive thedele trauma at 11 pclock to-morrow morn ing and probably will escort them to he While House about that time. General Wood, military governor of the isla d arrived this morn ing with his fami'y and took apart rtients at the Ri h nond. He came to tbe War Department, and had a con ferencn with Assistant Secretary San ger. Hi sent his secretary to call on the Cuban delegation to ascertain their desires for the day in order that he might be able to act as their escort. either to tt e White House or War de partment General Wood has had no direct information from General Whitside regarding the rep r ted trouhl-s at Santiago, but before he 1 ft Cuba, he had been advised by Gen. W bits d that parly strife was making feome trouble in that munic pality and that divorcers might be anticipated during tbe Spring elections in other ections of th island After that. h ever, it is expected that the usual trai quiiity of the island will be re sumed ' v General Wood reached the War De part cnent sh rtly after 9 o'clock and after h brief talk with Adju'ant Gen eral Coroin was shown into Secretary R o 's ffice, wh-re a conference re . - 1 1 J O so- c.incr iJnon airairs was uem. oeu alir Plat'., of Connect cut, chairman f the committee charged witn the care ot Cuban affairs, was present; as also was Admiral Braolord. cbier of the bureau of equipment, Navy De payment Th iatt-r's presence was desired as the location of coaling sta- tiorsiu Cuba is to be made Upon his recommendation. Tee Secretary's daor was closed to all cllers as soon as General Wood, Senator Plait and Admiral Bradford j Hoed him in uia omce, tnougn witnin aTe.w minutes Assistant Secretary San ger was sent for and joined the con ference It was underbtood that tien Wo d entered at once into a thorough exposition of the complicated Cuban situation. He was perfectly iofirmed a to the desires of the visitirg com mission and apprised Secretary Root of the nature of their errand. It is gathered tiat next to the sub jects of coaling stations and the right of the Umt-d SUie to intervene in Cuba in the interests of peace and order, the Cubans attach most lm- portiDce to the su- j-ct of sugar dull 8. Tbe commission is trying to secure a remission of the United States duty on Cu ban sugar. It is suggested that if this cannot be done at ouce, then the duty m.v be removed gradually, reducing a cr tain percenttg each year until the s jgar is du'y free. The President cannot grant this re quest, as it involves a cbangn in the Una laws, and tneretore application must be had to Congress. This may take the sbape of direct joint legisla tion b? tbe two houses, or it can be accomplished by tbe negotiation of a reciprocity treaty. The Cubans, it is believed, prefer tbe latter form. Tobacco, too, is auotber subject which tbe Secretary of War will be obliged to di.se uss with the commis sioners, and on that point ne wanted advice. Tie Qj bans are extremely desirous of securing a considerable abatement, inf ivorof their own to bacco, of the extremely high tar ill impus d by th-; Diagley act upan all imported tobaccos. After a conference lasting for more than tbree hours, Secretary Root and General Wood left the War Depart meat together for lunch. It was stated that there was nothing regarding the conference that could be made public, and tbat tbe matters discus-sea covered many subjects in Cuba, not alone tbe fisit of tbe Cjoau delegation, but everything connected with the gov ernment of the i.-Und.

More Pa rallies Will be Driven Prom Their Homes Than Anticipated Flood Oo tbe Kentucky Side of the River. Water Up to Tree Tops By Teieirrapn to tne Horning Star Cincinnati, April 24 At 6 o'clock to night the stage : of the Ohio river here was 57.5 feet, but since 3 P M. tbe rate of rising was reduced from one inch an hour to almost one half an inch an hour. The stage at 6 o'clock is 7 5 feet above the danger line, and the rate of rising ir,dicated 58 feet after midnight. Although tbe rate of rising is gradually , decreasing, the flood here will exceed the predicted limit of 58 feet Estimates on the rise that is in sight up the river indicate that the Ohio will not become station ary until to morrow afternoon, when it is not expected to exceed 68 5 feet, or o leet aD- ve tne danger line. SiLce it became evident tbat the jge would exceed 58 feet, there is uiucn stir bere to-night, but there i not tbe usual anxiety, as it is evident tbat tbe limit here will be reached be fore to morrow night. business men and manufacturers in the bottoms will suffer more than was expected, and many m re families will be driven out of their homes along the Ohio tothesouth and along Mill Creek valley on the west and along the Little Miami on the east side, than was an ticipated in the earlier preparations. On the Kentucky side the interrup tion to mills, factories and business is not so great, but in proportion to pop a I at ion many more have been driven from their homes than on the Ohio side. In the Taylor bottoms, between Newport and Bollevue, Kentucky, the water is up to the tree-tops, and tbe street car lines are compelled to trans fer tbeir passengers for Bellevue and Dayton, Ey. Tne latter place is gen erally inundated, and owing to a swell in the Licking river it is estimated tbat about a square mile of Newport is inundated. ) The situa'ion last Night. Cincinnati, O., April 24. The flood outlook in tbe middle Ohio valley is not very encouraging to night. The predicted limit of fifty-eight feet will be passed here and the estimated limits at other points will be more than has been estimated. It is also evident now that when the limit i3 reached in the middle Obiof valley it will be stationary for sometime and the fall will be much slower than was antic pited, even if there shall be no i econd ri&e. This is attributed to rising waters in tbe Big Saudy, Musk ingum and other tributaries above Cincinnati. Tbe Weather Bureau map to night shows rains prevailing in the east that may move we&t ward into tbe Allegben ies and start ano.ber flood in tbe Ohio, while its lower tributaries began rising to-night. Mayor Fleischman and other city offic als made another tour of tbe fijoded districts to day, arranging for all necessary relief aud protection. Fire engines and hose cans have been plced on flat boats ready for any mergency, and tbe police have patrol boats. Tbe street railways have adjusted c trs for use on the east and west sides for rapid transit across tbe flooded sections and then transfers are made to the other cars. The motors are raised so as to run through three feet of water. Only three lives have been reported lost None of the bodies have yet been recovered, and tbeir. identity is not known. At Louisville. Louisville. Ky . Anril 24 Tae Ohio reached the danger line (28 feet) and at 6 p m. was rising an inch an hour. Tbe river is expected to reach 30 to 31 feet The water has reached the business houses. Boats Fired Upon. Pittsburg, April 24. Steamboat men leaving to morrow for the South will go heavily armed and if their boats are fired on from the shore the crews will return the fire. The killing of W. T. Terry, a carpenter on the Pittsburg and Cincinnati packet Key stone State at Parkersburg to day, has incensed tbe rivermen to a high de gree of anger. Every unio river packet and tow boat arriving at Pitts burg this week reports having been fired on by people along the bank. who claim that the waves from tbe boats endanger their houses during tbe high water. The matter has been placed in the bands of the government authorities for action. FIRE IN DANVILLE. Six Business Houses Bnrned Oat The Losses Aggregate $67,000 By Teiegraoh to the Horning Btar.

The visit of hundreds of bright Cuban teachers to tbe United States last summer has caused a tremendous health-revival in Havana and San tiago. Tbe American idea, "A sound mind in a sound body," is one of the first les sons Cuba and Porto Rico are learn ing. But they, are learning fast. Whatever distrust Cubans may have of American politicians, they have confidence in America's greatest rem edy, Paine's celery compound. It has opened tbe eyes of the people of Havana and Santiago to the pos-si bill lies of good health in a way their crude remedies had never let them imagine. . Paine's celery compound is doing a tremendous missionary work this spriug a , ong tbe sick, not only toroughout the United SUtes, but wherever the American influence is felt The bet families in Santiago are taking Paine's celery compound. The common people are looking after their health as never b fore.

The Germans have been ordered back from the Pao Ting Fu expedi tion. Their behavior for tbe last week r so has caused great indignation in Pekin, not only among the Coinese but among foreigners as well. Carts, horses, mules aud ponies have been imp-essed for transportation purposes: coolies have been made to work for nothing, and even educated China- mnn have been impressed. Tue Chinese say there is intense feeling throughout the province against foreigners, largely because of the harsh treatment the Chinese have received from the Germans. TRAIN WRECKED.

Mysterious Player of Budapest, Whose Skill la Phenomenal. In Austria-Hungary thee Is a mar velous chess player, whose name and res idence are unknown, but who every now and then shows most remarkable skill in the game. The last story of him is told by a traveler who has just returned from Budapest. "I was playing chess with a friend in a cafe," said the traveler, "and plainly saw my defeat, when a little bit of a shriveled Pole with a tray of cheap jewelry stood in front of us and offered his wares in oc-ost persuasive tones. " Go away!' I said. " 'You can beat him,' answered the ped dler, whose attention was on the game. " 'What do you know about It?" I asked. " 'May I tell him?' he inquired, looking at my opponent. " 'Certainly; crack awayT came the re ply in a tone of assurance. "'Take his knight,' said my self ap pointed instructor. I did so. to hnmor him, though I lost my queen by tbe oper ation; but, much to my surprise, I found that the-very next move gave me the game. " 'Let me play with you? asked the peddler. 'I mate you in the moves you say and where you say.' " 'If you do I will give yon ,10 florins,' I answered. 'Take the white men. Mate me on my queen's fourth square in 22 moves if -you can.' "We started in, my friend keeping count of the moves, and moved rapidly. After about a dozen moves I had tbe ad vantage of a bishop and a pawn and was assured I would defeat my aggressive lit tle opponent. When he let a castle go by an apparently careless play, I was sure of victory. Then came a sudden change in the situation, and I had to move my king out of check. I was on the defensive and in rapid retreat. " 'Twenty-one moves,' said my friend as the little peddler put me again in check with his knight. " 'Mate!' cried my opponent as he swung his queen across the board. "My kiug was on the queen's fourth square. - " "I gave him 10 florins, and he walked away shaking his head and hanJs with infinite satisfaction." Chicago Inter Ocean. THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED. Why the Women Would Not Pass the Open Doorway. "Madam!" Th". State street policeman hailed the womi n in the Eton jacket. She turned, and he continued: "Madam, would you please answer a question?" "W-what is it?" she stammered. "Why did you avoid passing the door of the druggist?" "Am I compelled to answer?" "Well, no, but" "Then I would rather not," and she hurried on her way The officer was per plexed. He had been standing there 15 minutes, and in that time three women had evaded passing the open doorway of the drug store. Presently a shopgirl was added to the trio. She glanced in and then made a circuit of the curb. There was an expression of relief on her face when she had passed. The puzzled bluecoat decided to investigate. He walk ed over and stared in the doorway. The only person in sight was a soda water clerk. Then the officer retraced his steps. A few moments later an old colored wo man hobbled slowly along until she was directly opposite the druggist's. Some thing prompted her to suddenly change her route. The policeman met her as she crossed. "Hold on. aunty!" She appeared too frightened to run. " 'Deed, sab. Ah" "Oh, I didn't say you did. I just want to ask you a question." "W-what, sah?" "Why did you suddenly turn back when you were passing that door?" "Dah am a brae cat in de doah, sah, en he looks jes' laike he am gwine to run out." "Well, what of it if be did run out?" "Why, sah. if dat brae cat was to cross man paff Ah wild bab ebil luck foah a week. It am in do dream book, sah. It am dah ou fouf page." The mystery was explained. However, tha opinions of the oliiccr were not com plimentary. Chicago News. Goldsmith Heroines. It was the age of moral sentiments, and to have them at hand was the sovereign ovt thing against temptation from with out and within. Heroines used to ex press thorn whenever the least danger threatened and pometiuies when they were in perfect safety. Under instruc ti. ns of thr .uood Samuel Richardson they :'.ght the welfare of themselves, their lovers and their correspondents in formu laries prescribing the virtues for every exigency aud praising right conduct with n constancy which ought to have availed rather more promptly than it did. But neither of the girls in "The Vicar of Wakefield" is very profuse of them, and 'his marks either a laspsing faith in their ilk-afy or a rising art in the novelist.

He was a man of a mid-il? class conscience, and in an age not so corrupt as some former ages, but still of ahoiiiluable social usages, he could not withhold the protest of a righteous soul, though he risked render ing a little te'dious the Interesting girls who uttered it for him. W. D. Howells in Harper's Baar. Charlotte Observer: Mr. G. W. Huntley, proprietor of the National Hotel at Wadesboro, bad a right slick game worked on him some time ago. by which he has just discovered that be was swindled out oi $75.
