WASHINGTON. March 15.- Special. J.
In the opinion Of many eminent men in
congress the settlement Of cuban af-
fairs presents graver problems than
either those of the Philippines or Porto
Rico. 1t is because of this impression
that Senator Platt of Connecticut, Aid
rich of Rhode Island and Teller of Col
OradO, representing the committee on
relations with Cuba, have decided to
visit the island and ascertain as far as
possible the conditions existing there.
These senators have been reading the
reports of the United States officers,
Ihey have had General Brooke, who
was military governor of the island,
before them in committee and have eX-
amiucd with considerable care dOcu-
mentS relating TO Cuba, but they still
have dearth of knowledge which
wUuld enable them To form an opinion
as To what should be- done. Ii is 20
