OVERRIDE THE DOG VETO, WILL YOU?
CUBANS AND
THE AMENDMENT
Lieutenant General Miles Thinks
That They Will Ac.
cept It,.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Lieut. Gen.
Miles Is confident that the Cubans will
ultima tely accept the Platt amendment
defining the relations that shall exist be-
tween Cuba and the United States. Gen.
Miles and other officials of the War De-
partment lay stress upon the use of the
term substantially as follows" in the
preamble to the Platt amendment as in
corporated in the Army appropriation
law. This law authorizes the President
to withdraw from the island so soon as
the Government shall have been estab-
lished under a constitution, which shall
define the future relations of the United
States. In the phrase substantially as
follows the administration holds that
substantially means that while the
language employed by the United States
may not be used by Cubans, yet they
shall incorporate in their constitution the
essential points fixed upon by Congress.
At the same time the President has
some slight latitude which will enable
him to use his judgment in passing upon
any resolution which the convention IS
expected finally to adopt.
In discussing the Cuban question Lieut.
Gen. Miles, who recently visited Cuba,
said today:
II do not understand that the Cubans
have absolutely rejected the Platt amend
ment. 1 hope the convention will do
nothing rash. While in Cuba | found
some opposition to the provisions of the
Platt amendment but 1 hoped and still
hope it viii be modified by further con-
! sideraton The preamble to the Platt
amendment provided that the relation
shall be substantially as therein set
forth and 1 believe that the ultimate ac-
ton of the convention will be In accord
ance with its terms"

PORTO RiCANS
NOT STARVING
Governor Allen Says That the
Petition Was Work Of
Malcontent.

WASHINGTON, April 9-Gov. Chas
II. Allen of Porto Rico was asked today
to make a statement to the Call regard
ing a petition said to emanate from the
workingmen of Porto Rico, asking the
President for work and asserting that
the inhabitants of the island We're at the
point of starvation,
II have not seen the original petition"
replied Governor Allen, but copy Of it
came to me by mail this morning from
the Secretary of Porto Rico. who said
that he understood it was the work of
a malcontent who has been consistently
opposing the American administration
ever since our occupation of the island
and that any number of signatures could
be added to the petition in the office
where 1t was written. 1 think it would
be comparatively easy to secure sigma
lures to a petition asking for govern
ment aid where such aid had been SO
generously distributed
1.-The conditions described in the petit
ton are not truthfully stated. Facts
wnl show that more persons are en-
ployed in Porto Rico today than ever
before, except when the Government re-
lief work was at it's height. The United
States Government has already distrib-
uted S1,250, COO to workers on the public
roads and the Army distributed 32,0OO,OOO
pounds of food in the island.
MY San Juan informant is inclined to
attribute the present agitation to Munoz
Rivera, who has been the leader Of the
opposition to the American administra-
ton He is the man who compelled his
party to indorse Mr.. Bryan in the last
election.
Civil government is established in
Porto Rico. Much has been accomplished
and every day marks fresh progress. If
the people can be relieved of their agita-
tors and allowed to work out their own
salvation and American capital with the
thrift and energy which follow 1t be di-
reeted toward Porto Rico, with the as
surance that it will be welcome and giv-
en- an adequate return, then indeed will
come the prosperity and development
which every American citizen hopes for
every dweller under the American flag"
