ADMINISTRATIONS DECISION.
h Cuban Acceptance of the Plat
Amendment Unsatisfactory.

The Cuban Acceptance of the Plat
Amendment Unsatisfactory.
Washington, June 1.-The admins
tration has decided that the act Of
the Cuban constitutional convention
in accepting the terms of the Plat
amendment with notifications and
interpretations of their own was not
substantially" compliance with our
terms within the meaning of the
amendment, and Secretary Root will
convey this intelligence to the con
vention. The decision was reached at
the cabinet meeting. The meeting
lasted over an hour and a half, and
had been preceded by an hours con
ference between the president and
Senators Platt, of Connecticut, and
Lodge of Massachusetts,.
As the author of the amendment
the president desired to learn the
views of Senator Platt and also those
OF Senator Lodge, who is one of the
influential members of the commit
tee on foreign relations. At the cabi,
net meeting Secretary Root took the
position that the interpretations of
the Platt amendment contained in the
constitution adopted by the conven.
ton and the whereases appended to it
went outside of a fair Interpretation
of its meaning and was ~unaccepta-
BILE. In this view the cabinet CON.

One of the most lovely new models
in headgear l have seer was a nut
brown straw toque, trimmed with
soft pink roses, with some old pat
termed coffee lace placed to droop
low over the brim. Shapes are very
fiat and wide just now, and very often
they are curved at the side. Flowers
VIII be immensely popular later in
the season. Many of the new hats
are worn tilted off the face, and cut
up the back to show the new low
couture, the brims being lined with
some controlling color. Some are
quite square in front, the entire
crowns being garlanded in flowers.
The wide boat shape is kept fat and
simply trimmed with foliage. I
rather doubt whether this new fiat
style of headgear will prove becoming
to many, but it is a change; and so
we welcome it for its air of novelty
if not for it's beauty and general be-
comingness. KATE GARDNER.

TIE CUBAN SITUATION.
Protracted Conference Between Sec
rotary Root and Senators
P1att and Spooner.
CONCLUSIONS REACHED NOT KNOWN.
The onsensu of Opinion, we've
is Tkat the. Administration Will
Not Consent to Any Modification
OF the PIatt Amendment-They
Must Accept 1t as Passed.

New York, June Ia special to the
ator Plat and Senator Spooner were
in conference, Thursday night, at n
apartments of Secretary of War Root,
at the Arlington hotel, and the con-
ference was continued until a late
hour, the subject being the meaning
and effect of the action of b Gu
ban constitutional convention in ac-
cepting the Platt amendment with
what the Cubans have called Secre-
tary Roots Interpretation of that
amendment. What conclusion. if any,,
was reached, is not known, nor is it
known how wide a range b discus
sion took.
Were Summoned by Telegraph.
The hurried nature of the confer
ence and the fact that Senttors Platt
and Spooner were summoned here by
telegraph from their homes by the
secretary of war indicate the desire
of the president to have a definite
programme with regard to Cuba to
submit to the cabinet. The further
fact that none of those who took part
in the conferences could be induced
to talk is believed to mean that tbs
situation is yet too uncertain to be
discussed for publication. Until full
advices have been received from Cow
Gen. Wood as to the exact form in
which the Platt amendment was
adopted by the convention at Havana,
the administration will necessarily be

complete transcript of the amend
ment, DIS modified, will soon be re-
ceived by cable from the governor
general.
No Modification.
1t is certain hat the administration
will not consent to any modification
of the Plat amendment by the Gu
bans. That document must be esther
accepted just as it passed congress
OF rejected outright. Obviously there
is no middle ground to stand on. Even
if the president and his advisers were
inclined to make concessions, they
would not have the authority to do so
in this case any more than they would
be authorized to change or modify
any other act of congress-. 1t is prob.
able that Gov.-Gen. Wood will be ad-
vised to this effect by the president
after the cabinet meeting.
Probable Instructions to Gen. Wood
1t is thought hat he Will also be
instructed officially to inform the con-
stitutionai convention that until the
Platt amendment in adopted without
any qualification or explanatory adj
denda, and in this shape incorporated
into the organic law of Cuba, the
president can not withdraw the Amer
lean troops from the island, nor can
the Cubans proceed with a general
election of officers for the organiza-
ton of their government. Doubtless
when this is fully impressed on the
minds of the constitution makers
they will strip the amendment OF
sUrplusage.
