Cuban Constitution Rejected by Washington Sparks Disappointment
Havana reports the U S government's refusal to accept the Cuban constitution as adopted by the Havana convention disappoints delegates who hoped for Washington approval.

Washington also notes a temporary Alaska steamship rate peace, restoring former fares after a price war with Canadian lines.
