Ju.tIce Demnnd. It.

The president is just as strongly of opinion as Secretary Root that justice re- quires the Cuhans should not be kept waiting for realization of their hopes of self government. Recent information from Havana to the war department is that the Cuban constitution may be forwarded some time in February. This has been one thing which has precipitated the eN- tra session. The other Is the urgent rep resentation of the Philippine commission and of the Federal party in the archipela- 20 that continued improvement of condi- tions there depends largely on the substi- tuition of civil for military authority. The Cuban constitution is not yet ready. Con gress is too busy for the Philippine legis- lation. How then is it possible to escape an extra session? The views expressed at the cabinet meeting pointed to an extra session as unavoidable.
 If an extra session is called what will it do with Cuba? Administration. senate and house are at sea. Thus far the Cu- bans themselves have formulated no sug- gestion of what the relations should be between the United States and the island.
 In the cabinet meeting the drift of the talk was that if the constitution for warded from Cuba was approved by con gress the recognition of independence and withdrawal of the troops and American officers must follow as quickly as the new government organized. Of course this will take time Secretary Root was eS- plieit in his view that under the action of congress declaring intervention this gov ernment must, as soon as Cuba frames an acceptable constitution and organizes. acknowledge independence if the people of the island desire it. This is the admin istration's policy. The annexation senti- ment expected to develop in Cuba and to help solve this difficult problem of future relationship has not manifessS1 itself. The majority of Cuhans seem to be for a trial of new national wings, and the pres. ident and cabinet realize they must have the opportunity, under the resolutions of congress-

Legislation on Cuban Constitu-
 tion Imperative.
ALSO ACTION FOR PHILIPPINES
Demand Growing Daily For Civil Government In the PacIac Posses .ion.-Pre.ident Hold. It Wrong to Keep Cuba Waiting.

Washington. Jan. 3o.-There will be an extra session of congress. The president wants congress to authorize civil govern. ment in the Philippines. He feels also that it will be indefensible to keep the Cuhans waiting from March to December for action by this government upon the constitution and the relations between this country and that island.
 His convictions were brought out strongly in the cabinet meeting. If there could be legislation in those two diree- tions before March f the president would not entertain a thought of an extra session Whatever else might fail outside of the appropriation bills he would think might wait until December. But as to the Phil ippineS and as to Cuba the president feels the demand for action by congress war rants an extra session.
 The most of the time of the cabinet meeting, which was of unusual length, was consumed in discussion of the impor- tance of these subjects. Secretary Root did much of the talking. He has visited Cuba recently. More than that, his de pertinent has to do with the present mili- tary government of that island. Reports from army officers stationed in Cuba sre to the effect that occupation might be con. tinued without friction through the sum mer and fall if congress should fail to aci at this session upon the Cuban constitu tion. But. regardless of the question oi bad feeling and possible outbreak, the secretary is strenuously against a policy which would compel the Cuhans, after they had completed their work of framing an organic act, to wait ten months or more for the United States 10 give it any consideration. He elaborated his views foreibly to the president and the rest oi the cabinet
