AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
Vote on the Plat Amendment
Question Of Mortgage Fore
closure.

NEW YORK, May 23.-It has been
shown, says a Havana dispatch TO the
Tribune. that the Cuban constitutional
convention will reject Gualberto Co
mez's report as the first step toward
accepting the Plat amendment. He
urged that if me convention held out
and refused acquiescence to the amend
ment. Cuba would be In a position To
appeal TO the world and ultimately
would gain absolute independence. His
followers now admit the defeat OF his
proposition but after that will endeavOr
10 embarrass the delegates who want
a majority report adopted. Several
members who will vote against Gomez
want to avoid a direct vote on accept
ance. Norma Delgado and Berrlel who
have proposed notifications in the ma
jority's report will, nevertheless, sup
port 1t.
The sugar planters association made
a formal request TO the convention to
intervene in the question Of mortgage
foreclosure, which is one Of the most
perplexing questions with which the
American administration is confronted
Governor General Wood has extended
the time Of the order against fore
closure til June /. but announces that
no further extensions will be granted.
In the meantime a special commits
sioner has been trying to adjust the DIFF
ficulty but has not succeeded In formu-
lating plan satisfactory to both debtors
and creditors. The merchants un-
ion. a strong financial body, has op-
posed the sugar planters convention and
has lately refused to intervene on be-
half Of the latter on the ground that
the subject is beyond its jurisdiction.
It's action is important.
