THE FIRST CONFERENCE HELD The Commission Call at the War De partment Where lor an Hour Cuban Afralra are Discussed The Commis sion Visit the White House The Call Merely Formal Friendly. Addresses Made All Official Intercourse to be with the Secretary of War. Washington, April 25. The Cuban commission saw President .McKinley twice today, once ln.the;early part of the day when there were introductions and a formal exchange of expressions of friendships between the United States and Cuba, and again at night when the members of the delegation were the guests of honor at a state dinner at the White house. . - The real business which brought the delegation here was transacted with Secretary Root at the war department, the president In the forenoo.n interview at the White house saying to the dele gates that he -would confer with the secretary who would act as his repre sentative in conferences over the" Cuban situation. " The delegation and' Secretary Ropt were closeted for some hours in the afternoon in a discussion of the rela-. tions of the island to the United States. Secrecy was observed as to the con ference, the statement being made that after results were reached some news as to the conclusions might be made public. Matters of importance were not touched upon in the interview between the president and the delegation, the conversation being almost wholly formal. . , Senor Capote in his address to the president spoke of the desire of th Cubans to have the closest possible re lations with the United States. He said that United States soldiers and Cubans had fought side by side and driven Spain from the island, and th.3 ties between the two countries were bound in blood. The relationship, therefore, between the countries should always be most amicable and closer than that which usually exists between nations. He spoke of the gratitude which Cuba felt to the United States for the assistance rendered in her lib eration. In response the president expressed his pleasure at meeting the delegation, and desired through them to extend his Kindest wishes to the people of the is land. He said that his Interest in Cuba always had been very great, and he made reference to messages he had sent to congress concerning the island. Its welfare always would be the sub ject of his most earnest consideration. He congratulated the members of ths delegation upon being members of the Cuban constitutional convention. He Lsaid it was a high honor, and it fell to the lot of but few men to have the Opportunity to frame a government for a. i cpuuut. vuuuermng ine ODjeci oi the delegation's visit the president said he would confer with the secretary of war. and the secretary, havinsr an in timate knowledge of the situation, would confer with the delegation. The Cuban delegates began their round of official visits and conferences today by going to the war department at 11 o'clock for the first formal meet ing with Secretary Root- They were then escorted by him to the White house for a meeting with the presidejit. At the x hotel to accompany them on their rounds were two officers of the United States army In fatigue uniform. Captain Sawtelle and Lieutenant Over ton. Previous to the arrival of the defe cation at the war department General Wood entered the secretary's office and was there when the visitors were shown in. The delegation called first at the office of Assistant Secretarv Sanger and then were shown into Mr. Root's private office by Colonel Sanger. Captain Sawtelle and Lieutenant Over ton, and Senor Gonzales, secretary to General Wood, were present during the conference at the -war department. It is understood Senor Gonzales is a flu ent Spanish linguist and he also was asked to be present at the conference at the White house. About an hour was consumed in a discussion of Cuban affairs in the war department, when the delegation left for the White house. The most Important meeting- of the day was a conference in Secretary Root's office lasting from 3 until o'clock in the afternoon. This was the first business meeting, the others hav ing been sovil and formal. Those present werPi-.the five Cuban delegates, the interpreter. Secretary Root, General Wood. Asssistant Secretarv Sanarer . and Senor Gonzales. General Wood's secretary, who acted as interpreter a great portion of the time. The army officers who are acting as escort for the Cubans were present. When the meet ing adjourned no official statement was made as to the proceedings, but it can be said that the resut was considered satisfactory, both by the Cubans and Secretary Root. The business was not completed and the conference will re assemble tomorrow afternoon. The fact that the entire conversation had to be conducted through interpreters made it necessary to proceed slowly. It was made plain to the Cubans by Secretary Root that no modification of the Piatt amendment could be made by the executive department of the gov ernment and the Cubans themselves understand that there is little possibil ity of congressional action in that di rection, so the conference .was devoted largely, to the construction which could be placed upon the amendment. The law states that the propositions contained in the amendment shall be "substantially" agreed to by the Cubans and the' discussion revolved chifly around what will be considered a "substantial" agreement to the Piatt amendment requirements. There was some very fine legal sparring between Secretary Root and Senor Capote, the president of the constitutional conven tion and chairman of the delegation. It is understood that the Cubans are impressed with the desire on the part of this government to deal fairly by Cuba and the belief is expressed that the delegation will take home favora ble reports of our intentions.

EfOWLES WRECKED Found Capsized and Floating If o Kews as to Her Crew Atlantic City, April 25. The three masted schooner Emma C. Knowles, Captain Rogers, from Charleston, S. C, April 14th for Fall River, with a cargo of lumber, was sighted six miles off this city today, almost a total wreck. There was no life on the ves sel, and the fate of her crew Is tonight unknown. The dark hull of the Knowles, ly ing broad side in the water, was dis covered almost simultaneously . by the three life saving crews on this beach, soon after the thick fog had lifted shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. The three crews, composed of eight men each, immediately took charge of their boats and rowed swiftly towards the wreck, each wanting to get there first in order to have the honor of making a rescue. They were watched by several thousand . persons on the boardwalk. The Atlantic City crew ' sot. to the wreck first. 1 To their disap pointment no sign of life was found on or about the sinking I schooner, and after making a careful search, all three crews returned to the shore. Captain Parker, of the Atlantic crew, said the vessel had every appearance of having been in collision. Her three masts were still intact and the for ward sails were set, but had been torn into strips. The deck load of lumber was gone, the deck house ripped oft and a portion of the upper deck had been torn awayr None of the crews could board the vessel owing to the heavy seas. There is some apprehension that the "Knowles was in collision and that the crews of both vessels may have perish ed. Capt. Parker says that the schooner can be saved by a powerful tug. There is enough lumber in her to pay a good salvage. She is floating directly in the line of cqastwise steamers. Many Bank Failures in Japan Yokohama, April 25.

This is about the same as the . armor on the ships now building. Chief attention is now being given to the batteries of the new ships. Although no conclu sions have been reached, there is a tendency toward substituting 7 inch guns in the broadside batteries in place of 6 inch weapons.

A GAME OF FREEZE OUT Frano-Ra9slan Scheme Aealnst Ens land and Germany In China Paris, April 25. Vhe Courriere du Solr, which is often well Informed on ministerial intentions, says , tonight that the settlement of the Chinese sit uation is a question of finance. The newspaper says that Russia, repeating that operation which has had the great est success, will advance China the sum required to pay the indemnities, and that French savings will provide the Russian government with the requisite funds. The European troops, except the legation garrison, will then leave Pekin, and a fresh period will begin during which Chinese patience will strive to tire out the British and Ger man governments in their claims re garding the opening of the ports and the customs. Russia, however, will re tain Manchuria as a pledge for the loan. This appears to be the general scheme of the project that the French foreign minister M. Del Casse, Is dis cussing In St. Petersburg with Count Lamsdorff and M. Witte. Acids Factory Blown Up Frankfort.
