TALK OF IN EXTRA SESSION.
The PIatt Amendment Cannot be
Changed Except by Congress-
IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER,

Washington, June 4,--There Is more
serious talk in Washington of an extra
session Of congress, in high official
circles, than there has been at any
other time since March T.
A member of the cabinet stated that
he believed the president would find 1t
necessary in an any event to call II not
later than October /, III possible "
he said, mo extra session Of congress
will be called during the heated term,
unless II should become absolutely
necessary
No one could forctcll with any
accuracy he said what might happen
at any time in Cuba The reports from
that island indicate, In his Judgment,
that n criSis might be brought about
by some foolish action on the part Of
the Cuban people, The administration
is most positive in It's determination
not to permit any modification OF the
Platt amendment. In fact, II Is as
serted that the president has no au'
thority to entertain any suggestion in
this direction, The Platt amendment
is q law Of the land and 1t cannot be
changed except BY congress,
Before the adjournment of the Fifty
sixth congress, President Mckinley
favored the calling Of an extra session,
lie believed that he might be COM
PEELED to carry the burden Of RESPONSE
bility cntpled in the settling of the
insulOr problems which confronted
him, The passage Of the Platt amend
ment and the Spooner Philippine
amendment at the eleventh hour
averted an extra session OF congress in
March, but the presidents Judgment
is, 1t can be stated on high authority,
that congress must meet to settle
this and some further Legislation
which is absolutely necessary, Unless
critical situation develops in Cuba,
he will not ask congress to meet, 1t Is
understood until some time in Sep

Cuban Action on PIatt Amendment
Not Substantial Compliance,
DISAPPOINTMENT IN CUBA,

Washington, June 3,-Ihe president
and the cabinet decided that the action
of the Cuban constitutional convention
was not substantial compliance
with the terms OF the Platt amendment
The secretary OF war will convey this
fact TO the convention.
Havana, June ., The decision OF the
United States government not TO ac'
cept caused great surprise and disap'
pontmcnt TO those members OF the
convention who voted in favor OF the
constitution as adopted, Two leading
conservatives said in substance that
they had reason to suppose that the
constitution would be acceptable to
Washington, and that otherwise they
would not have voted for the majority
report as submitted, They also point
ed out that In order TO avoid possi'
bility Of rejection the majority report
had been changed at the last moment
thus accepting the Platt amendment
as passed by congress.
at Is true" said one of the Conser'
vatiyes, that the interpretations OF
the explanations Of the Teller rcsolu'
tion which were offered by Governor
General Wood and Secretary Root,
together with the Washington com
missions report, We're included with
the Platt amendment MS an appendix
TO the constitution, but when we voted
on the report II was with but one pur'
pose in view, namely, to accept the
PlNtt amendment,
Both delegates said they doubted
that the convention would now recon-
slider its action, as the fight had been
won only by one vote, General Wood
said; 'I never understood that the
explanations of Secretary Root would
be incorporated in the acceptance
| always considered that the conven-
tion regarded these as explanations
merely, and that they would not form
part OF the acceptance"
