GENERAL MILES BACK FROM CUBA
HE BELIEVES THE PLATT AMENDMENT
WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Washington, March 25.-Lieutenant- General
Miles and his party returned to Washington
to-day from short tour of inspection in Cuba.
General Miles told Secretary Root that in his
opinion the Cubans would accept the Platt
amendment. He was particularly impressed
with the fine condition OF the batteries in the
forts around Havana On Thursday last. by
special request, General Miles attended a ses-
sion Of the Cuban constitutional convention and
addressed the delegates at some length wing
in part:
have no reason to doubt that the attitude Of
our government toward the people of other coun-
tries who have been struggling for liberty will
continue TO be maintained. and that the hope
of Washington. who believed that the United
States had framed constitution liberal and
so just that if administered with wisdom and
integrity il would in time be recommended TO
the peoples of other countries then strangers to
il, still animates to-day the great heart Of the
American people toward the infant republic of
Cuba
I trust that you will have patience in the
consideration Of the important subjects now
before you, and that you will be directed in
course that may promote the best interests of
yourselves and your posterity. We all know
that the strongest bond and guarantee that you
can give the people and government of the
United States is the gratitude that you have
manifested in the past, and earnest and lasting
friendship toward the government Of the United
States in the future.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND NEGROES.
BISHOP KELLEY. OF SAVANNAH SAYS THE
CHURCH MUST AMELIORATE THEIR
SPIRITUAL. CONDITION

Charleston, c, March 25--St. Mary's Roman
Catholic Church. the oldest in the Carolinas and
Georgia, conseCrated to-day with imposing
ceremonies Bishop Northrup. of Charleston was
the officiating priest assisted by Bishops MOnag CHAN
of Wilmington, Del; Haide. of Wilmington. y. G..
and Kelley, Of Savannah. and Monsignor Qui.l-y
and thirteen priests. The sermon preached by
Bishop Kelley, OF Savannah. who fOrcibIy pre-
sented the claim of the Roman Catholic Church 10
infalbility. In reference to the negro problem he
said
Two non-Catholtc religious bodies have practi-
Cally monOpoliZed the field of church work among
the negroes Are they any better religiously
morally than they q quarter of a century
ago? Have honesty and personal purity any
stronger hold on them now than then? My answer
is unquestiOnably. The reason the Catholic
Church could heretofore do nothing for them
that she had few priests and limited means in
these States. There is involved in this question
social problem and on its practical solution de-
pends the wellbeing OF both peoples-depends
maybe. the preservation Of civilization. I have
hesitation in making the assertion that to the
Catholic Church must the negro look for ameiora-
tion of his spiritual condition.
