ACTION ON PLATr AMENDMENT NOT
SATISFACTORY.


Washington, June 2.-The president
and the cabinet at their meeting de-
cided that the action Of the Cuban o
stitutional convention was not q Sub.

the Platt amendment. The secretary Of
war will convey this fact to the con-

ban convention took from the. coaling

ment it's obligatory character and
merely authorized the Cuban govern
ment, IN, Its Judgment, to allow the
United States to possess coaling or ma
val stations. The United States will
insist on an absolute agreement to
grant us these coaling stations. With
respect to sanitation the Cubans do not
agree to carry out plans already de-
vised and In accepting the Plat amend
ment modify its provisions 30 as to
change them considerably. In the mat,
ter Of Intervention our objection is that
the Cubans have 80 changed this vital

whereas we insist on a straight, une-
quivocal acknowledgment Of our right
to intervene when in our judgement In

Cubans Disappointed.
Havana, June 1.-The decision Of the
United States government not to accept
the Cuban constitution as adopted by
the Havana convention caused great
surprise and keen disappointment to
those members of the convention who
voted in favor Of the constitution as
adopted. Two leading Conservatives
who were interviewed on the subject
said, in substance, that they had rea-
son to suppose that the constitution
would be acceptable to Washington,
and that otherwise they would not
have voted for the majority report as
submitted. They also pointed out that
In order to avoid a possibility Of re-
lection the majority report had been
changed at the last moment by strik-
ing out the Interpretation at the end of
the clauses, and putting these in the
form Of a resolution by themselves.

added that Mayor Harrison was espec-

Colonel Skinner said that Chicago

TEN THOUSAND ATTEND
TABERNACLE CONCERT

In a clever speech thanking all who
had participated in the event. President
Springer of the Livestock association
characterized the concert in the taber-
nacle last evening as zone of the most
brilliant ever given in the United
States" The audience was with him
on that proposition. From the way they
applauded and cheered one might have
thought music was born and raised in
Salt Lake and that such a thing had
never before been heard by the visiting
stockmen
The concert certainly was superb 1t
was one of the finest ever heard in the
tabernacle and the size and style OF
the audience seemed to urge the per
formers on TO their very best efforts.

tabernacle people had to be turned

body was turned away last night, but
the vast auditorium was almost hlled,
which means that between 5000 and TO-

the audience, and again the result of
splendid training was shown by the
accompaniment to Horace $. Ensigu's
solo, Little Gypsy Sweetheart This
number was given Superbly by both the
sOloist and the chorus.
The combined Colorado bands played
two fine numbers Mr. Give gave a

which was received with a storm of ap-
plause; Miss Clark and Mrs Edwards
sang a duet composed by Professor

were repeated when Professor McCleI-
