Havana, May 20-The Constitutional Conven-
ton this afternoon received the majority and
minority reports on the Platt amendment and
adjourned until Tuesday. No formal dis
cusson was had. The real reason for the
adjournment was that both supporters and
opponents Of the amendment unwilling TO
take a vote Senor BetanCourt. member OF the
Washington Commission, absent. but his
presence is promised tomorrow.
The delegates are confused regarding their
own course and doubtful Of the outcome. The
Radicals criticise the Gualberto Gomez report as
recognition of the principle of the Platt amend
ment and differing only in form from the ajor-
ity report They also charge him with COM
pete retreat from his former stand against the
amendment. The majority report is criticised
for not making more of the Interpretation given
- the President and SECRETARY Root
Members who signed the majority report say
there will not be much debate. They have en-
bodied the limit of the concessions obtained
from the United States. The ultra Radical
group is working n substitute resolution
which proposes that the United States shall
guarantee the independence Of Cuba in the same
form that the independence Of Belgium and the
Balkan powers is maintained by European ma
tions The proposition is significant only as
showing the unwiIlingness Of the Radicals TO
accept responsibility for final rejection of the
Platt amendment. II is ridiculed by the Con-
servatIves The latter to-day scored point in
having the convention decide that Alexandra
Rodriguez Chief Of the Rural Guard had not
forfeited his seat as delegate by accepting
that place Rodriguez supports the amendment
The tobacco workers in Pinar del Rio Province
are deluging Quesada and other members with
protests against the reported intention of the
War Department to admit Porto Rican tobacco
into Cuba. Protests will be FORWARDED TO Wash
ington and also laid before the Havana Commits
sion which is revising the tariff. Finar del Rio
is the most pro-American of all the provinces
and its delegates support the Platt amendment.
