WASHINGTON REARs THE NEWS.

the Island Will Follow.
Washington. D. C.-The news of the
adoption Of the Platt Amendment by
the Cuban Constitutional Convention
was received with genuine gratifca-
ton here. Now that the Cubans have
demonstrated their faith in the Uni
ted States, it is expected that fairly
speedy evacuation Of the island will
follow, contingent only upon the es-
tablishment of stable government in
the island. An effective police force
and other measures necessary to the
preservation of good order and sani-
tation are considered as essential pre-
requisites in the formation Of the new
government.
The mere physical question of the
withdrawal of the American military
from the island is an easy one and
can be accomplished without much de-
lay. One cabinet officer, speaking of
the matter, expressed the opinion that
if the other requirements are met our
withdrawal must be accomplished dur.
ing the summer so that Cuban inde-
pendence might be reality by next
autumn.
General Wood has officially COM
municated to the War Department the
fact that the Amendment has been
adODted.
