XMaad'p Independence (tall Not Bat limited by A ay Tower. The constitutional convention at Havana completed its work of drawing up the clauses in the con­ stitution referring to the relations be­ tween Cuba and the United States. The following clauses on relations were adepted: "1. The government of Cuba will not make a treaty or agreement with any foreign power which may compromise or limit the independence of Cuba, or which may permit or authorize any power to obtain by means of coloniza­ tion or for military or naval purposes, or in any other manner, any foothold or authority or right over any portion of Cuba. "2. The government will not permit its territory to be used as a base of op­ erations for war against the United States or against any foreign nation. "3. The government of Cuba accepts in its entirety the treaty of Paris, in which are affirmed the rights of Cuba to the extent of the obligations which are explicitly indicated in these, and especially those which the internation­ al law imposes for the protection of life* and property, and substitutes Itself for the United States in the pledge, which they assumed in that sense, ac­ cording to articles 12 and 162 of the treaty of Paris. '4. Cuba recognizes as legally valid all acts of the military government during the period of occupation; also the rights arising out of them, in con­ formity with the joint resolution and the Foraker amendment and the ex­ isting laws of the country. "5. The governments of the United States and Cuba ought to regulate their commercial relations by means of a treaty based on reciprocity, and with tendencies toward free trade in natural and manufactured products, mutually assuring ample special advantages in their respective markets." VUbim Destroy a Pealteetlary. The Nebraska state penitentiary, four miles from Lincoln, has fallen prey to flames. The fire, the origin of which is not known, broke out at mid­ night Thursday in the rooms in the main building occupied by the warden and his family. Before the flames had gained much headway Warden Davis gave orders to release the convicts from the cells and march them to the prison yard under double guard. The removal was accomplished safely and without disorder. Extra guards were also posted on the stockade walls, armed with shotguns, with orders to permit no escapes. As an additional measure of safety, Lieutenant-Governor Savage, acting in the absencc of Governor Dietrich, in response to the suggestion of the ward­ en, ordered out the local company of state militia. Get roar All** aed Om PmI. 7 ~ Sheriff J. W. Taylor and his depu­ ties arrived at Sedan, Kan., Tuesday with Sid Appleby, Sol Appleby, Ross Graves, Arle Benning and a dead man named Reed, having captured the prisoners after a pitched battle in which Reed was killed. The prisoners Monday night terrorized the citizens of Wauneta and Cedarvale, nearby towns, by riding through the streets firing off pistols and raiding stores. Sheriff Taylor traced the men to the Appleby home, four miles from Wau­ neta, organized a posse and surround­ ed the house during the night. At daybreak Reed came out and was or­ dered to surrender, whereupon he drew a revolver and was killed. After an exchange of shots the mother and sister of the Appleby boys induced the men to surrender. Ylffbt with Knives Over Girl. I^wis Parrlsh and Henry Lawson, young men of good families, met in a billiard room at Zanesville, O., and engaged in a quarrel over a young woman. They retired to the rear yard to settle the matter, where Parrish attacked Lawson with a knife, cutting him in the neck, arm and body. It required sixty-seven stitches to close his wounds, and his life is hanging by a thread. During the fight Parrish slipped and fell upon his own knife, severing an artery in bis wrist. He is being held without bail to await the results of the wounds on Lawson. FILVPINO AND CUBAN STATUS! Bpaate VstM Body. TT MEASURES IN BOTH HOUSES.

A 6BEAT STREET Tlw Oath of OOm I* Takes toy the gmWMl . la the l*rMMoe #1 **«y Thouaanda--fteceptlona MM tlw Order ot the Hoar. V President McKinley took the oath of office at Washington Monday in the presence of a multitude gathered from all parts of the United States and for- eign lands. It was the most bri iliant inauguration ever witnessed at Wash­ ington. hi While the parade was getting under way lie president led the cabinet mem­ bers \p the president's room In; the capitoll building, where he was host at the ^rst function of his second term--a luncheon to his official fam­ ily. Although strictly formal, this af­ fair was very brief, as the president and cabinet were wanted to take their places in the line of the inaugural pa­ nda. Escorted 'by 28,000 troops, the governors of eleven states and a num­ ber of civic bodies, the president rode down Pennsylvania avenue for the sec­ ond time as chief executive of the na­ tion. As there was no retiring presi­ dent to occupy the carriage with him, as is customary the president rode alone on the rear Seat of the carriage facing ahead, while on the opposite •eat were Senators Hanna and Jones, chairmen respectively of the Repub­ lican and Democratic national com­ mittees. At the White House the pres­ ident and his cabinet left their car­ riages and took their places in the president's reviewing stand, while the immense parade filed by, and when the last man and horse had passed It was all over but the grand Inaugural ball. The estimate of the size of the in­ augural parade, as given out at mili­ tary headquarters, was 31,240, includ­ ing: Military, volunteer and regular, 22,240; veteran organizations, 1,200; civic societies, 7,800. General Francis Greene was grand marshal. It took four^nd a half hours for the parade to pass the reviewing stand. There were many receptions, ban­ quets and presentations Sunday* Mon­ day and Tuesday among the higher officials at Washington.

A penalty of one year In the county jail is projrided. The present anti-prize fight law is practi­ cally invalid since the decision of the supreme court in the Paddy Purtell case^- oa Plans for tbe Island*. In the senate the Cuban stritentint of policy and the Spooner resolution Providing for a civil government for the Philippines were both passed by overwhelming majorities. This re­ moves all* fear of an extra session, so far as complications from Cuba and the Philippines <ure concerned. Both declarations of the colonial policy of the McKinley administration go as amendments to the army bill. The Cuban statement was adopted intact, by a vote of 43 to 20. all efforts to amend it being successfully resist­ ed. Thus congress had decided the conditions on which the oresldent Is authorized to withdraw tbe troops from Cuba. Until these conditions are met the Cuban republic will not be recognized by the United States or any other country. The Spooner ill providing for a tem­ porary civil government in the Phil­ ippines went through the Senate by a vote of 45 to 27. it was changed slightly by the Hoar amendment re­ stricting the right of issuing fran­ chises. This amendment was accepted by the committee and was adopted without debate. All other attempts to impair the Spooner bill's force were voted down exactly as the attempted amendments to the Cuban declaration. The United States holds the key to the situation. As congress will ad­ journ immediately after formulating these conditions of Cuban independ­ ence into the statute law of the United States the Cubans will be confronted with the fact that if they do not ac­ cept these conditions they cannot be­ come a republic, at least «til after the session of congress in December.
