HOPEFUL FEELING
 SAID TO PREVAIL
Believed by the Cabinet That the PIatt Amendment Will
 be Accepted by Cuba

Washington, June The Cabinet was in session for over two hours today discuss ing the Cuban and Philippine situations. A communication has been received from Governor General Wood regarding the prospect for the unconditional acceptance of the Platt amendment, but its contents were not made public. It can be stated, however, that there is a hopeful feeling in administration circles that the first soreness will wear off and the convention will see the wisdom of accepting the terms of the administration. The answer to General Wood is to be sent by cable and the language of that communication was under discussion today. Meantime the ex- isting status in Cuba is to be maintained. No action looking to the calling of an- other convention is in contemplation if the present convention should decline to accede to our terms.
 The programme looking to the estab- lishment of civil government in the Phil ippines Is being formulated in such an important order which is to be promul- gated shortly It Is said there Is no defininte conslusion as to whether the powers of the civil administration will be exercised under the general war pow CTS of the President or the authority in- vested in him by the Spooner amendment. The main point is that the civil admin istration which will be conned largely to the municipalities, 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 subject to the direct authority of the secretary of war to whom all reports will be made. Civil administration under mill itary supervision such as Is contemplated is said not to be ananomolous, 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 analogious as to what is proposed in the Philippines.
