Washington. May s1.-The admin.
5istration has decided that the action
of the Cuban consti itutional conyen-
stioni in accepting the terms of. the
Plat amendment with modtfca
and interpretations Of their own was
not substantial" compliance with our
terms within the meaning of:sthe.
amendment and Secretary Root VIII
convey this intelligence to thesconven-
ton. The decision was reached at the.
cabinet meeting during the day. Thei
meeting lasted over an hour and p
half and had been preceded by an.
hours conference between the prest-
dent and Senator'S Platt Of Connec-
5ticut and Lodge Of Massachusetts,.
The president desired to learn the
views OF Senator Plat. as the author
of the amendment, end also those
of Senator Lodge. who Is one OF
the influential members OF the com
mittee on foreign relations. Re
At the cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that. the inter
probation Of the Plat amendment con.
tanned In the constitution adopted by
the, ,convention-an and the whereases ap-
pended to 1t, went outside of fair
Interpretation of its meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the cabi-
net concurred. When asked as to
what would be the next step Of the
government after the Cuban conven-.
'tion had been notified Of the rejec-
tfon Of its action, one Of the members
Of the cabinet said that the govern
3ment could do nothing further until
the convention again acted, that as
long as the conditions Of the Platt
amendment were on the statute books
compliance with them must pre-.
cede our relinquishment of control
over the island. Z. gs
The cabinet also discussed the de-
cisions Of the supreme court in the
insular cases, especially their bear
ing upon the forthcoming decision Of
the supreme court in the Philippine
cases. It was the general opinion
that in some phases the Delima case
might be applicable to the Philippines
but that IN other ways It might be
held entirely inapplicable. {

In goodconditlon she is sweet and lovable,
and sings lfe's song on joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there

to fly without wings as to feel we'll and look
we'll while the organs that make her woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can't be healthy outside. There
are thousands of women suffering silently all

their silence. While there Is nothing moro
