"Substantial" Acceptance of
Amendment is in Doubt.
NEW STATUS OF THE ISLAND.
If the Government Which Is Now
Forming Proves Unsatisfactory Pres
ident May Declare 1t Null and Void.
Matter of Future Responsibility.

Washington, May 31.-An import
took place at the white house yester-
day. There were present with Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretary Root, Sen
ator O. H. Platt, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on relations with Cuba,
and Senator Spooner of Wisconsin.
For more than an hour and half the
situation in Cuba was considered and
when the conference broke up no deter
minatioI had been reached. 1t is ex.
pected that the whole matter will be
brought before the cabinet today and
possibly will be further discussed with
those who have had much to do with
shaping Cuban relations thus far
The president and his advisers must
determine whether the Platt amend.
ment has been substantially" adopted
by the convention. This is prelim.
mary to the withdrawal of the United
States authority and forces from the
island. If it should be found that the
Interpretation of the convention is
not satisfactory to this government
quite difficult problem arises, as it
seems to be the intention of the Gu
bans to proceed to form a government
and that government must be recog
nized or rejected by the president, as
he has full power to determine whether
the act of congress has been complied
with by the convention.

On yesterday the people of Denison

sacred occasion. There has never been

seemed more imbued with the sad
sweetness of the hour. If any came
for mere amusement they were disap-
pointed. but those who came with love
in their hearts for the heroes who have
passed away were amply rewarded

There were hundreds of teams in the

around the hower-decked centotaph was
large one.
The exercises opened with song by

1t would seem from the wording of
of this Memorial order, thatno thought
was given to the perpetuation of this
service after the death of the last SUR

the present greatness of this republic

the men who wore the blue In these
days of invention. accumulation of cap

nothing is too great to be expected.
We stand today the foremost nation in
the world in point of production over
and above what we consume. Our gov

carried by the lowest rate of interest
ever known, and our capitalists are
seeking investments in the old world.

this memorial day will cease and the
