GOVERNOR WOOD'S OPENING ADDRESS Senor Llorrntr ('lumen to PreiH*. IteMolutlonn of Prulne rop tfieneral Wootl mill tirutlluilr to Presi dent of llir I niteil States. HAVANA. Nov. The Onhau consti tutional convention met in tin' Marti theater yesterday afternoon s:i o'clock. Lour before that hour the theater was crowded. Alnn.v thousands were unable to gain admittance, and the streets in the neighborhood were blocked with peo ple. General Wootl and his staff, accom panied by General Kitz-lluuli l.ee and his staff, received an ovation on enter ing, the band playing "America." Senor C'isneros and tJeneral Rivera escorted General Wood to the platform, and he almost immediately opened the conven tion. "As the military governor of the island of Cuba and representing the president of the United States," he said. "1 call this convention to order. It will be your duty tirst of all to frame and adopt n constitution for Cuba and when that has been done to formulate what, in your opinion, ought to be the relations be tween Cuba and the United States. "The constitution must be adequate to secure stable, orderly and free govern ment. When you have formulated the relations which, in your opinion, ought to exist between Cuba and the United States, the government of the United Stutes will doubtless take such action on its part as shall lead to a final and authoritative agreement between the peo ple of the two countries to the promotion of their common interests. "All friends of Cuba will follow your deliberations with the deepest interest, earnestly desiring that you shall reach just conclusions and that by the dignity, individual self restraint and wise con servatism which shull characterize your proceedings the capacity of the Cuban people for representative government may be signally illustrated. "The fundamental distinction between true representative government and a dictatorship is that in the former every representative of the people in whatever office confines himself strictly within the limits of his defined powers. Without such restraint there cannot be free con stitutional government. "Under the order pursuant to which you have been elected and convened you have no duty and no authority to take part in the present government of the island. Your powers are strictly limited by the terms of that order." Before withdrawing General Wood wished the delegates a speedy and suc cessful conclusion of their work. He said that Chief Justice Perez would adminis ter the form of oath which the delegates might select, and lie concluded by ap pointing Senor Figuereo, undersecretary of state and government, as temporary chairman. The convention organized with Senor Llorente, justice of the supreme court, us president and Seuor Villuendo as secre tary. The following oath WHS then ad ministered : "We, delegates elected by the people of Cuba to the national constitutional con vention, swear faithfully to fulfill the du ties of our office. We publicly and sol emnly renounce allegiance to or com pact made with any state or nution, whether made directly or indirectly, swearing to the sovereignty of the free and independent people of Cuba and swearing to respect the solution this con vention may adopt as well as the gov ernment established by the constitution." All of the 31 delegates were present. Senor Aleman. who said that the con vention was "only a continuation of the fight for independence," moved that the regulations governing the old Cuban as sembly at Ya.vu in IS!*! be adopted. As nobody seemed familiar with them the convention adjourned until tomorrow at U p. in., when copies will lie furnished to the delegates. The following resolutions were present ed to the president of the convention just before adjournment and will probably be adopted today: "The undersigned delegates propose that the constitutional assembly adopt the following resolutions: "First. —That a committee of the as sembly proceed immediately to call on General Wood and to manifest the satis faction with which the delegates have seen him carry out the difficult mission intrusted to him. < "Second. —That the committee request General Wood to cable to the president of the United States as follows: "'The delegates elected to the consti tutional convention, assembled at their inaugural meeting, greet with profound gratitude and affection the president of the United States of North America, and they are satisfied with the honesty dem onstrated in the fulfillment of the dec larations made ill favor of liberty and the independence of the Cuban people.'
