CUBANS MUST NOT QUIBBLE
OVER PLATT AMENDMENTS

Washington. June 1.-The admins
tration has decided that the action OF
the Cuban constitutional convention
in accepting the terms OF the Platt
amendment with notifications and in
terpretations OF their own is not sub
stantiar' compliance with our terms
within the meaning of the amendment
and Secretary Root will convey this
intelligence to the convention. The
decision was reached at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday.
The meeting lasted over an hour
and half and had been preceded by
an hours conference between the
President and Senators Platt of Con
necticut and Lodge of Massachusetts.
AS the author OF the amendment, the
President desired 10 learn the views
of Senator Platt ald also those OF
Senator Lodge. who is one of the in
fuential members of the committee
on foreign relations.
At the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the inter
pretations OF the Tlatt amendment
contained in the constitution adopted
by the convention, and the whereases
appended to ii, went outside of a fair
Interpretation of its meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the Cabi-
net concurred.
The Cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the Gu
ban convention upon the Platt amend
ment amounted to practical modifi'
cation of the amendment. such as was
beyond the power of this government
to accept.
The message of rejection sent to
General Wood advises the Cubans. in
unqualified language. that there is nc
power resting in the United States
government to change the terms OF
the Plat amendment. and that this
government insists upon the accept
ance of the Platt amendment without
amendment or qualification.
