INSTRUMENTATION.
Details of the Fight over the Platt
Amendment.
cApoTEs VOTE DECISIVE.
Radicals Made vain but Spirited
Effort mt the Last Moment to
Defeat Acceptance of
American Terms.

Havana. May 29.-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention will not hold fur
Their sessions until after the municipal
elections. President Capote visited Gov
ernor General Wood to talk over the
proposed election law, which will be
the next work of the convention. The
general intimated that the United
States would ask that some changes
be made in the constitution.
The action of the convention in ac-
cepting the Plat amendment is widely
discussed. Comment both favorable
and unfavorable is heard on every
/ side. El Mundo says:
"By the vote Cuba's independence
| and nationality were made subjects of
| the United States. III future we shall
| be only name on the map of the
world"
The Plat amendment was accepted
by the constitutional convention by n
vote of 10 to IA. The actual vote was
on accepting the majority report of the
committee on relations, which embod-
led the amendment with explanations
Of certain clauses. The decisive vote
was cast by President Capote.
Hard Fight by Radicals.
The Radicals made Il hard fight at the
last moment, and Senores Portuondo
Gomez and Tamayo bitterly arraigned
the Conservatives. Senior Tamayo was
particularly vndictive and declared
that everybody who voted in favor OF
the Plat amendment was traitor t'
, his country. The convention compelled
him to rctract this statement. on sew
eral occasions personal encounters
seemed imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than al
hour, and his speech undoubtedly woi
| over Senores Castro. Robau and Mandu
ley. He appealed to the patriotism o
the delegates and rehearsed the l0ni
fight for independence. denouncing Il
pcrjurers all who favored the Fiat
amendment on the ground that the
had sworn to draw up n constitution
for an independent republic.
Several Conservatives rose and askc
Senior Gomez to retract, but he abs,
! lutely refused.
