MUSIC.
THE KALTENBoRN CONCERTS.

Al the St. Nicholas Garden the third series OF
summer night concerts under the direction of Mr
Franz Kaltenborn began last night. These con-
certs are become a regular and beautiful feature
Of New-York summer life. They have won greater
and more permanent popularity than any series
of the many which preceded them. though some
OF these were directed by the most popular con-
ductors in the city. In fact, far as the number
and Character OF the patrons are concerned, they
recall the famous Thomas concerts in Madison
Square Garden two decades ago. There has been a
steadily growing air OF gentleness about them and
II interesting occupation last summer TO
study the growth Of popular interest in the diff
ferent kinds OF music represented by the different
programmes. The series opened auspicousy

couraging character of the solo performances by

PROBABLE COURSE OF THE CUBANS.
MUNICIPALITIES WILL PETITION THE con-
vENTIoN To PASS ORIGINAL.
AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT.


Havana. June 1.-The press deplores the mis-
understanding with the Washington Govern .
nent but generally admits the possibility OF a
wrong construction being put upon the Platt
amendment by the explanations and nterpreta-
tions and that It VIII be best for the convention
10 take up the question Immediately and accept
the amendment passed by Congress.
La Lucha" SAYS that 50 per cent of the peo-
pie favor this but the delegates are at a loss
what TO do Some say that the United States Is
not acting in good faith, as 1t was most improb-
able that the Washington authorities did not
know what the convention was doing and what
was the nature OF the report to be submitted.
They further say that a majority of the Com
mittee on Relations told them that the amend
ment as accepted would be satisfactory to the
United States, and that they had the assurance
of General Wood and Secretary Root to this
effect The members of the Committee on Rela-
tions will say nothing regarding this point other
than that they, too, thought il would be salts
factory.
Secret sessions and absent stenOgraphers make
it impossible for the delegates themselves
TO set things Alright.
Regarding the controversy which will surely
arise later TO who Is responsible, the conven-
tion will place the responsibility the COM
mittee and they. it is said will blame General
Wood and Secretary Root. An effort is being
made to-day by some of the conservatives to
avoid this crisis by asking the convention to
adjourn for a month, and in the mean time have
the municipalities petition the convention to
pass the original amendment. Several munich
palities have already taken that action, and it
is thought that others will fall into line.
The municipal election passed off quietly. The
Nationalists claim the election of Senor Gener,
their candidate for Mayor of Havana and a ma
jority of the council.
