FEELING. IN CUBA.

No Disposition Apparent to Change
the Form Of Acceptance: 9
New York, June "a dispatch to
The Tribune from Havana says
Washington advices regarding pos
sible complications over the accept
ance of the appendix to the constitu-
ton have caused some uneasiness
among the members who secured its
adoption, but the disposition is to-
await official information. Inquiry
showed that there is no probability
that the convention would make fur
ther changes in the form in which &C.
ceptance was couched. Opinion Is
pronounced that such an attempt
would disrupt the conservative forces,
which succeeded in having the Plat
amendment interpreted and adopted,
and would place the radicals iii full
control of the situation: -.
Most of the delegates who voted for
acceptance say that the subject is con-
cluded, and the only thing left for the
convention now is to frame an cleo
toral law, or else to be dissolved by
military authority, and the statu quo
remain unchanged. They do not an
ticipate the latter alternative. Some
of them criticise the reports that the
convention was not expected to incor-
porate the substance Of the interviews
with Secretary Root, and say this crit
fcism should have been formulated
earlier, since such purpose has been
manifested by the convention since
the return from Washington. /.

Washington, May 31.----The admin

Of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton in accepting the terms Of the
Plat amendment with notifications
and interpretations Of their own was
not Substantial compliance with our
terms within the, meaning OF the
amendment, and Secretary Root will
convey this Intelligence to the conven-
ton. The decision was reached at the
cabinet meeting during the day. The
meeting lasted over an hour and a
half and had been preceded by an
hours conference between the prest-
dent and Senators Plat of Connec-
ticut and Lodge of Massachusetts.
The president desired to learn the
views of Senator Plat, as the author
Of the amendment, end also those
Of Senator Lodge, who Is one OF
the influential members Of the com
mittee on foreign relations. = .s-..
At the cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the inter-

tanned in the constitution adopted by
the convention and the whereases ap-
pended to it, went outside Of q fair
Interpretation of its meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the cabi-
net concurred. When asked ~ as to
what would be the next step Of the
government after the Cuban conven-
tion had been notified of the rejec-

of the cabinet said that the govern
ment could do nothing further until
the convention again acted, that as
long as the conditions of the Plat
amendment were on the statute books
compliance with them must pre-
cede our REIMBURSEMENT of control
over the island. - =:
The cabinet also discussed the de-
cisions Of the supreme court, in the
insular cases, especially their bear
ing upon the forthcoming decision of
the supreme court in the Philippine
cases. It, was the general, opinion
that In some phases the Delima case
might be applicable to the Philippines
but that in other. ways it might be
held entirely inapplicable.
