No Change in the Status Of
Cuba
GOVERNMENT IN PHILIPPINES
Being Formulated in The Shape Of an
Order to be Promulgated
Shortly

Washington, June S.-The cabinet
was in session over two hours yester
day discussing the Cuban and Philip
pine situations. A communication has
been received from Governor General
Wood regarding the prospect fer the
unconditional acceptance of the Plat,
amendment, but its contents are not
made public. It can be stated, how
ever, that there is a hopeful feeling in
administration circles that after the
first soreness wears off the convention
will see the wisdom of adopting the
terms OF the amendment.
Secretary Root has been in commu
nication with Gen. Wood regarding the
situation in Cuba and was able to in
form the cabinet concerning the i'm
pressions which Gen. Wood has of the
feeling Of the delegates to the consti
tutional convention. While no new
propositions have yet been submitted
1t is probable that the convention will
not accept the Plat amendment out
right until another proposition has
been made to this government. The
administration is fully determined that
the Cubans must accept the Plat
amendment without qualification be
fore there can be any change in the
status of Cuba. No action looking tc
the calling of another convention is in
contemplation If the present conven
tion should decline to accede to oul
terms.
The program looking to the estab
lishment of civil government in the
Philippines is being formulated in the
shape of an order which is to be pro
mulgated shortly. 1t is said that there
is no definite conclusion as to whether
the powers of the civil administration
will be exercised under the general
war powers of the president or the au
thority vested in him by the SpooneI
amendment. That, however, is consid
cred matter of detail. The main point
is that the civil administration, which
will be confined largely to the munici
palities, will be vested in the head OF
the Taft commission and such other
officials as may be designated and that
they will exercise their functions sub
ject to the direct authority of the sec
retary of war. to whom all reports will
be made.
Civil administration under military
supervision. such as is contemplated
is said not TO he anomalous. and the
civil government in New Mexico and
the southern states during the early
stages of the reconstruction period are
pointed to as being substantially anal
ogous to what is proposed in the Phil
ippines.
When Judge Taft becomes the head ol
the civil government in the Philippine
islands he will have the title of gov
ernor While 1t is expected that he
will become governor of the Philip
pines about July !, there may be some
delay, as the civil governmental ma
chinery may not be ready at that date
Both Judge Taft and Gen. Macarthur
have informed the secretary of wal
that July 1 was as early as the pro
posed civil government could be put
IN operation. and as neither have made
any modification of their views it is
presumed that they still are Of that
opinion.
