WILL VOTE TODAY.
Cuban Convention Will Act on the
 PIatt Amendment.

Havana, May 27.--By unanimous agree ment the Cuban constitutional convention has decided to take the final vote on the acceptance of the Platt amendment to- morrow. This decision was reached after long arguments against the acceptance of the amendment by Senors Tayamo and Portuondo.
 The conservatives claim the Platt amendment will be accepted. The friends of the national party in Havana in com ing out against the amendment, threatens bad party split which is endangering the election of Senor Gener, the candidate of the naionalists for the mayoralty of Ha- vana. Of the six nationalist delegates to the convention Senors Zayas, Lacret and Gener will follow the party dictum. while Senors Nunez Rodriguez and Diego Tayamo will oppose 1t and vote in favor of the amendment. An attempt Is being made to retire the latter delegates out of their party. They have refused to re- sign.

Washington, October 31.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt may attend the Char.
lesion Exposition in February. To-
day he accepted an invitation to for.
mally open the South Carolina Inter
State and West indian Exposition,
TO be held in Charleston beginning
December 2, and continuing until
!! the lst Of June next. The invita-
ton was extended to the President
this afternoon by committee from
Charleston, composed of r. w. Wag-
ener, president of the Exposition; j.
Adger Smyth, Mayor of Charleston,
and j. G. Hemphill, editor of The
News and Courier.
BY a previous arrangement the
committee called at the White House
at half past IL o'clock. The Presi-
dent received his visitors with great
cordlallty' recognizing Mr.. Hemp
hill as an old friend. Capt. Wage
ner, on behalf of the Exposition, for.
mally invited the President to attend
the Exposition at suoh time as might
best suit his convenience. Capt.
Wagner assured the President of q
Hospitality reception as long as he
might tarry in Charleston and Incl
dentally remarked that if he could
spare the time there was some excel
lent deer hunting in the pine forests
in the vicinity Of Summerville. The
suggestion of a hunting expedition
aroused the enthusiasm Of the Presi.
dent, and for an instant the CONVEX
sation was diverted from the Expo.

deer hunt in South Carolina.
At this point of the conversation
Mr.. Hemphill said that he realized
that the president is very busy
man, and it might be inconvenient
for him to leave Washington to at
tend the opening ceremonies of the
Exposition, which occur so near the
period fixed by law for the assem-.
bling Of Congress. The President
said that it would be impossible for

The members of the committee
were very much pleased with the
gracious manner in which they were
received and they we're also en.
couraged to believe that the Pres

Exposition even if he was to leave
Washington one day and return
within the next forty ei ,,ht hours.
There will be further correspondence
between the President and Mr.
Hemphil on the subject, and the
members OF the committee loft the
White House and went to the yarious
departments, where they formally
invited the members OF the Cabinet
to join the Presidential party on that
occasion. The members of tho Cab.
met accepted the invitation upon
