Action of Committee Taken as Fore
 runner of It's Acceptance.

Havana. March 22.-The committee on foreign relations of the constitutional con- vention met today to consider the Platt amendment. The report rejects four clauses-the clauses dealing with coaling stations, foreign relations, the right to intervene to preserve peace and the en- tering into treaties covering the points in question. The other clauses are treated on the lines of the previous report the sanitation of the Isle of Pines being vir- tually agreed to-
 Three of the five members of the com mittee objected to the rejection in toto of the four clauses mentioned. No vote was taken, but a majority was opposed to 1t. The committee adjourned until Tuesday.
 The committees action is taken as a forerunner of the final acceptance of the Platt amendment. A member of the com mittee said: "The general tone of the people has changed, and this is having an effect on the delegates. l do not believe the convention will accept the report as it stands"
 Many delegates have talked today with Senator Proctor, but he gave them no encouragement to believe that the next Congress would modify the amendment. On the contrary, he told them 1t was clearly for the interest of the Cubans to accept the amendment.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
English Paper Discusses Possibilities
 of a Conflict.

London, March 22-The Statist tomor- row, after editorially discussing the pos abilities of a conflict between Russia and Japan, will say:
 Tt is idle to deny that there is danger of complications. Nevertheless we think peace will be preserved and trust that Russia will give satisfaction to Japan in Korea, thus removing the danger of a rupture"
 While holding these views the Statist will devote a column of it's financial news to considering how a Russo-Japanese war would affect the money markets. It says Russian securities would fall in Paris, which would possibly be able to sell fair amount of them in New York After this prices would largely depend upon the course of the war and whether other countries took part Russian credit, the Statist will say, might possibly fall very low.

PAPERS DISCUSS
 TERMS TO BOTHA
Some Say Kitchener Went to the Utmost Point of Len-
 iency-O her Views.

London March 22-With the exception of the pro-Boer organs all the morning papers comment upon the peace negotia- tions and recognize that the government has gone to the utmose point of leniency.
 The Daily Mail, which denounces the weakness of the government" in the se- verest terms. says:
 'It is startling to find that the govern ment has capitulated on so many vital points. The ministers have been willing to concede as much as any Title England CT administration would dare to grant and have thereby administered a severe shock to the country's confidence Our task in South Africa will now be harder than ever"
 The Morning Post points to the signih- cant fact that Lord Kitchener and Sir Alfred Milner, "the strong men on the spot" were ready to go further in con ciliation than MT. Chamberlain. The Times, which calls the terms lex traordinary liberal" thinks that no par allel can be shown to such indulgence tc vanquished foe, and 1t expresses a hope that the government offer, although re- jected, when once 1t becomes known 10 the mass of the Boers, will make for peace.
 The pro-Boer Daily News, after observ- ing that "the overtures made from the British side are not in the most dignifed manner" says:
 "The reason for their rejection is quite plain General Botha discovered. as MT Kruger did, that MT. Chamberlain would raise his demands as fast as they were accepted"
 The papers in general criticise most strongly the dual language concession
