—The nation has been true to its

have for the second time repudiated
llryanism and everything the term
represents. The re-election of Wiu.
McKinley means a great deal more

popular condemnation! of the danger
ous theories advocated by liryan. It
proves that the American beople
could not be stampeded by the false
cries of "Imperialism" anil "Mili
tarism" und that u large majority of
the citizens of these I'nlted States
demand a continuance of the econo
mic policies that have restored the
country's industries to a condition
■of prosperity. The nation ha* vin
dicated the honest, wise and pat riot -

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.' "
