First Day of Operation.
The incidents of this, the flist day of
active operations of all the lalhvay
lines atfected by the gioat stilke. have
been feu, because of the heavy tall nf
lain. The two men shot by National
Oiiiiidsmen, in defense of life and
propcity, were buried this afternoon,
but tin- pouiins- lain Kept away the
thousands of sightseers that otherwise
would have maiked the occasion with
their ptesenco. Tlio clepartuie of the
Tvveiity-lhiid regiment eaily this morn

and stilling .soimons n many city pul

The luneial of f.eroy Smith was de

attended by city olllclols ami diiectors

weio in a stale of ferment, A uish

a few wise heads held the ciowd back
for a minute, while soviiiai olheis ad

discretion was tho belter pint of valor,
ho did tun, and tumble was avoited.

Dr, Stanley Arraigned.
New Yoik, .May 19. No new light
was shod ycsteitlny upon the manner
of death ot the Kev. I-Idwaid S. Phil
lips, ihe Koninn Catholic piisst, of
llazleton, Ph., whoso decomposing
hotly was found In Kill? Stanley's room
in the lear hoiu-c at No. 730 Ninth
avenue, on Thutsilny night. Tho po
liie and Coioner Bausch still held sus
picion of loui play, antl tho cm oner
dot idt-d to keep Stanley a prisoner in
the Tombs pending- a chemical exami
nation of the fluid found In the stom
ach of the pi lest.
Although the police continue to as
set t that they know where to find tins
woman who pas.spd as Slanle.v's -wife
In the looms in Ninth avenue befoio
Father Phillips died there, the wo
man was not attested e.steidtiy. Theie
seemed to be leasoii to believe that
the woman did not leave the moms
until after the piiesl's detail there tin
May !t, nnd that she could toll much
about the manner of his death. Ilea
notions indicated that she was anxious
to have the death of tlio piiest kept
storet from other persons lu the
bouse. Mis. Rerniiis, a woman living
on the first Moor of the house, went
up to Stanley's moms on May S and
took his alleged iheumatio cine. lie
had a hot nlr machine for baiting parts
of the body affected with rheumatism,
and Mrs. Keinliis thought she was
helped by the tieatment. On May ll
she wanted to tiy the machine again,
but "Mrs, Stanley" Instod on hav
ing the machine taken downstahs tor
that pin pose. Late on tin- same af
ternoon "Mrs, Slanloy," who had been
away tiom the bouse soiuo bouts, il
lumed and asked Mis, Ulgglns, the
limitless, If Stanley was upstairs, anil
saitl she would not d.uo go Into the
looms alone. Then she went away,
ami was not seen about the house
again
Stanley was analgned befoie t'oio
per Hausoli again yestei day, and
Abraham Levy ivas ptosem ns the
pi Nonet's counsel. The coioner s.iltl
t lui t the autopsy had established no
pi oof that Father Phillips i nine to
his death fiom other than natural
causes. lie coiisldeiod the circiuu
siaiues sin i minding' the case so sus
picious, how ever, that lie believed It
was his duty to hold tin- prisoner.
"I shall hold the piNaiier," the coio
ner said, "until thoie has been a
chonihal analysis of tin- iluld found In
Father Phillips' stomach and uf the
contents of the intestines. I will ac
cept $10,000 hall until the analysis Is
completed, and should tho analysis
furnish no proof that theto bus been
foul play, 1 will dlschaigii tho ptls
oner," "MOW long Will ll take to (omplele
the analysis'.'" Mr. Levy asked.
Analysis to Take Thiee Weeks.
"I have consulted with I'lofessiir
Wltthaus, and ho will requlie about
tlueo weeks," the commit' icpliod.
"I will not consent to allow ihls man
tn be locked up In tlio Tombs thiee
weilvH," said th" lavvyei "and I sn.ill
apply for a wiil of habeas mi pus on
Monday.
Coioner Hausoli explained that bo
was obliged to hold the piNonoi on the
policeman's statement that Stanley had
lived and eaten and slept In tho moms
whc-ie the corpse of the piiest was
lying. The fact that Stunh-v did not
leport the death was in Itself an or
fence, and ceitalnly created snspltlor.
The (-(Honor then asked Mi. I,ey not

"If tho Investigation Is speedily

no objection lo your lemandlng the.

made the following statement rega til
ing tho case of Father Phillips:
"After a tlioioligh and conscientious
examination Into tile facts of this ease,
we state unequivocally that theie was
no Immotntlty, actively or suggestlve
lv, In the conduct of tho unfoitunate
in lest. The tompoiary unusual abuse
of stimulants on his part is the sum
total of any weakness with which he
can he chaigod. Ills life was morally
pin e. and we deploio any suggestion to
the conttary made In an irresponsible
moment by a iiuu-ci fisted, unfortunate
man. If an women weie in that Hat,
thev weie theie befoie the arrival of
Father Phillips and had tlopirted long
befoie he arilved, nor did lie sec any

THE POLICY
OF CUBANS
Malorlm and Mlnoritu Reports Thar
Be Submitted to tlie Con
stitutional Convention.
UNEXPECTED CLAUSES
Majority Bepoit Does Not Accept the
Piatt Amendment on a Basis of the
Interpretation Given by Secretary
Root Makes Many Additions Tha
Minotity Kepoit.
II) l!il'lii! Wile fiom 'Ihe Ai'Oitited l'KM.
Havana. .May 1!i. The committee on
lolallons of the Cuban constitutional
convention will submit maloilty and
minority tepotts to the convention to
moirow. The majority report In an In
troduction quotes Article 1 of tlm
tieaty of Pails, the Joint lcsolutlon ot
the rutted Slates congress and the
Plait iimeiidineiil, and then proceeds as
follows:
"Inasniui h as Seciotaiy Hoot, being
atithoiized bv- Piesldent McKinley. says
that I'la It law has for lis object the
guaranteeing' of the independence of
Cuba and does not mean Interference
with its government or the exercise of
a piotootoivite or of sovereignty, and
also that Intervention will only take
place when Independence is endan
goied by outside poweis or grave In
tel lor disturbances, creating annicby,
and inasmuch as Secretary P.oot has
said that the naval stations will not bo
used for vantage points of Intervention,
but only to piotect. Cuba against for
eign povvei s, we repot t as follows:
"That, in virtue or tho fact that the
Piatt law. In Its pieamlde, says it Is
a fulfilment of the joint lesolutlon and
lias been adopted by congress with the
pilnolpal ob'jcot of establishing- Inde
pendent o, vve do pioposo to the con
enliou lo accept the following as an
appendix to the constitution."
Tho fit st. second, fourth and fifth
clauses aie quoted In their enthetv.
The third clause has tho following ad
dition: "it being understood that the T'nltcd
States have the light to Intel vene to
prevent the aot ion of a foreign power,
or distm bailees causing a state of an-uiclij-,
and that the Intervention shall
always be the act of the United States,
and not of isolated agents. The inter
vention shall support neither sovci
eigntv nor a protectorate and shall
only last sulllciently long to establish
normal conditions. Said iutci volition.
II is aNo undei stood, shall not havo
the light lo inteifoie in the govern
ment, hut only the right to preserve In
dependence," An addition to the sKth clause says
that tho ownership of the Ts1e of Pines
shall be settled bv a futuic treaty.
An addition to the eighth clause says
that the government of Cuba suggests
at' the same time a tie.ily of com
mon e based upon reciprocity.
Minority Repoit.
The miuoiity icport Introduces Itself
bv saying: "Tlie explanations given
to the commission In 'Washington
show that tlie Piatt law does not ev
piess the wishes of the United States.
Ir was intruded to piotect. the Inde
pendence of Cuba, but the wording
gives other Intel pretations. 'Che Tint
led States aie Inconsistent lu asking
naval suctions, -when tho amendment:
provides that no concessions shall bo
given to foreign poweis. Such a de
mand raises tho question -whether tho
Pulled States do not consider Cuba
a p.ut or their possessions."
Tlio leport of the mlnoilty virtually
accepts tho Hist and .second clauses.
For the third clause, tho following is
substituted:
"That the government of Cuba, sub
scribes to tho Monroe Ubcfrine nnd
will help the I'nltcd States to enfon-a
It aguhis't .other nations tiying to
violate it."
For tlm fourth clause, the following
is substituted:
'Cuba does not rccognlo acts of In
tervention which aie not in conformity
vvltli tho Foraker lesolutlon nnd tho
laws of the country."
Tlio sevcutili clause lends:
"Cuba will maintain naval (.rations,
handing them over lo the United
States in thni! of war."
The tt-poit of tlio minority lecom
mends a conuuoiclal lioaty based upon
loflpiocity.
Tlio repoit of tho majority has
caused eonsideiablo smprlse. It was
generally believed that tho committed
uu lelatlmiH "vv mild icconuuond accept
ance or the Piatt amendment on tb
basis of the Intel pi etatltm given by
Sooictary Hoot, but It was not o
peolctl (hat Mich additions would b"
inadti to minus clause as tile ma.
joilty recommend.
