STATUS OF pLArr AMENDMENT.
Convention May Swallow II Lest
Something Worse Follows.

HAVANA. March 29-From news
reports which are received here 1t
is wholly evident that there Is a wide
discrepancy between the official re-
ports of the political situation in Ha-
vana and those sent by the small
group of correspondents stationed
here. Granting for the moment that
the action of the convention is doubt
full, it may be said with accuracy that
the official reports and the various pri-
vate reports which iudorse the Off
| cial can only be based on a general
ground of belief that the government
convention will come to see the error
of its ways. and to realization of the
hopelessness of struggling against the
inevitable.
The contrary view is based direct
ly upon the positive statements of
members of that convention. OF
those who advocate acceptance of
the Platt amendment because they
abhor it not one is to be found. Such
advocacy as exists has rested in
general proposition that a disagree
able dose had best be swallowed and
the best made of bad bargain lest
worse should follow.
Neither disorder nor disturbance
is anywhere manifest on the island.
There has been and is political unrest
in many sections. some feeling. numer-
Gus wholly peaceful public manifesto
tions of support of the convention in
its attitude. Without desiring to ap-
pear unduly apprehensive. one may.

tensive, in Santiago province, and pos
