The Cuban con ft it tit lonnl ron vent ion resumed Itx sit tings yestcriltiy with nn nir of business. Thp first thing done wns to rirfrnt over whelmingly the motion of Scmir (liinl herto (tonics to discus (!ciicrnl Wood's nddroKH nt thp opi'tiitiK of the conven tion. Thin action will probably close thp Incident. Three complete constitutions were suit mitted by (Sencral Itivera, Kenor de Qtipftuda find the colored general Morun respectively. These will be printed ami distributed Among the doU-giites, who will discuss them later. General Hlvera'n proposed constitution provide for a president, a senate, a hoime of representatives, n governor fur each of the six provinces, a legislative body for each province and for one mem ber of the house of representative for every 8(1,000 Inhabitants, with election by popular vote. Ilia leheme cnlla also for the election of three electors In ench municipal district, whose duty it shall be to elect a legislative lody of 11 for the province In which they reside.

As was expected, the meeting of the foreign envoys yester day did not result in any definite conclu sion owing to the fact that not all the governments have notified their repre sentatives as to the form of the prelimi nary note to the Chinese plenipoten tiaries. Mr. Conger, the United States minister, snid ufter the meeting: "Apparently it is the desire of all to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. I be lieve the next meeting will be the last, hut will not be called until every minister has received definite instructions cov ering all contingencies. Personally I am satisfied with the results of the pro ceedings." Elicht Killed 1 Twenty Injured. S ACHAM ENTO, Dec. 5. A work train, carrying its crew of between 25 and HO track repairers, backed into a freight train a few miles east of SuIkuu, on the Southern l'uciric road, yesterday, and in the wreck which followed eight men were killed and 20 more injured, many of them seriously. From the mea ger reports received it appears that tho freight train had the right of way and was running nt full speed in order to meet and pass another frcigiit at Suisun. The work traiu should have been on a siding and was making for it at a good rate of speed when it collided with the freight. At the time there was a heavy fog prevailing, ami it was possible to discern objects for only a short distance, so the shock of the colliding truius was terrific. Ashes Scattered to tho Winds.
