Cuban Relations

A majority OF the Committee on Re
lations of the Cuban Constitutional
Convention have agreed upon a report
recommending acceptance of the Piatt
terms. and it probably has been pre-
sented to the body today, that being the
programme when our correspondent
cabIed the news on Sunday
It cannot be said that the report is
altogether satisfactory. If adopted in
the form and text te1egraphed to US, it
viii be unacceptable to this country.
It recommends the acceptance of the
terms and their incorporation in the
acts Of the convention as an appendix
TO the Cuban constitution SO far that
is well; but it also recommends the in
clusion of a declaration that the United
States does not propose to assume or
exercise q protectoTate or a suzerainty
over the island.
We need not waste space in discuss
ing the question of a protectorate; but
nothing could be palmer than that the
Platt amendment means and was in
tended to mean a practical American
suzerainty. We have explained the
reasons why suzerainty is necessary SO
often that it is not worth the while to
go over the arguments again. In brief,
the spectacle Of inability TO grasp the
domestic and international situation
which the Constitutional Convention at
Havana has offered to the world, warns
US that it would be imprudent and IN
safe to leave the Cubans to their own
devices Complete Cuban independ-
ence and sovereignty would simply in
voIve the establishment Of another and
q greater Raitien anarchy near our
shores, and that is something which
this country could not tolerate for a

GERmANY's CROP OUTLOOK.
UnfavoraDIe Conditions Referred to
by an American Consul General.

The attention Of the State Department
has beeen called by Frank II. Mason, the
American Consul General at Berlin. to
certain unfavorable crop conditions in
Germany. Mr.. Mason writes as follows:
The first official report giving a com
prehensive statement Of the condition Of
winter wheat. rye. and other crops on the
9Th Of April has just been published, and
gi,es a dIscouraging outlook for German
sgriCUltu-ists. The winter has been
long and severe, with very little snow IN
til after the middle Of February, and the
spring is at least three weeks behind the
average of recent years. The situation
is worse in the eastern Provinces Of Po-
sen. Pomerania, Brandenburg, and West
Prussia. and somewhat better in the Low
er Rhine region, where the soil is better
adapted to Withstand the vicissitudes OF

The chinese situation.

It will be somewhat of a surprise to
most people TO learn that the United
states. England, and Germany are said
to be agreed upon the policy Of oppos-
ing the international guarantee propo-
sition in connection with the Chinese
indemnity loan. In this respect alone
this Government appears to be out Of
sympathy with Russia, which Power
favors joint guarantee
Considering the interest of the United
States in preserving the territorial in
tegrity Of China, and in helping her to
maintain the open door, it seems rather
strange that our Federal authorities
should advocate a segregated loan, the
consequence Ct which would be to place
each nation in Interest in q position
TO make trouble IN the future, and, in
the event Of default, to demand and
perhaps to seize Chinese ports and ter
ritory by way OF compensation But
the methods Of our splendid dipIo-
macy are past finding out.

ment is opposed to the plan of an in
ternationaI guarantee, the country

that If the ultimate partition Of China
among the European Powers is TO be
averted, no other means could be de-
vised as effective as the establishment
Of an international interest in preserv-
ing the territory Of the Empire intact
for the common good. It is true that
the few millions demanded by the
American Government as indemnity if
utterly lost would not be a serious mat
ter. But the future of our growing
trade with the many millions of people
who inhabit the Chinese part Of Asia is

peace and permanent native govern
ment in China would tend to advance
our commercial interests in the coun-
try. and we believe that an interna-
tional guarantee of the forthcoming
Chinese loan would be a great help in
the direction referred TO. With the
whole civilized world as a common
creditor the security would be preserv-

TESTIMONY ON WAR CLAIMS.
The Treaty Commission to Consider
Rules to Govern the Evidence.

Rules to Govern the Evidence.
Several questions of material bearing
upon Spanish war claims. have been pre-
sented for consideration by the Spanish
Treaty Claims Commission to the attor-
neys representing claims which have been
filed with the Commission All Of the
Commissioners will be in the city on
Wednesday. on which date a hearing will
held, when the attorneys have been re
quested 20 be present and discuss with
the Commissioners the points suggested.
The question of greatest significance is
that in connection with the taking Of
testimony in Cuba or elsewhere without
the Jurisdiction of the United States. The
Commission is empowered to appoint spe-
cial commissioners to take such testimo-
ny wherever found relevant and necessa-
~. The point arises that in the inability
of the United States to impose & penalty
for false testimony given by witnesses
testifying without its jurisdiction, the
Commission cannot in any way depend
upon the character of such testimony.
1t is represented that under the present
United States control Of the island Of
Cuba. an order from the Governor Cen
eraI of the Island. General Wood, would
effect the desired result. In the event,
however, of the transfer of the authority
to Cuban Government, it is matter Of
conjecture whether the same legislative
power would be given to the United
States representatives. There can be no
assurance at the present time that this
would be done
This question is considered to be Of vi
tai Importance in view Of the fact that
in nearly ali of the claims so far present
ed. the conditions of the petition must be
subStantiated by witnesses domiciled in
Cuba. In many instances 1t would be i'm
possible, 1t is contended, for pecUniary
reasons, to secure the presence of such
witnesses in the United States and it is
held that no good end would be served
in view of the fact that such witnesses
whether testifying falsely or not. would
in returning to their homes, place them
selves again without the jurisdiction OF
the United States.
