Texas OIL vs.. Pittsburg Coal

Pittsburg, Pa, May 31.-Pittsburg
coal may have competitor in Texas
oil. This was made evident to-day
by the fact that the j. NJ. Guffey Pc
troleum Company is negotiating at
Cleveland with one Of the largest YES
sci owners on the lakes for the pur-
chase of two whaleback boats, by
which oil may be delivered at all lake
points.
1t is possible to load tank steamers
Mt Port Arthur with oil, send them
around 10y the Gulf, the Atlantic
ocean. the st. Lawrence river and the
Welland canal into the chain of great
lakes, and deliver the oil in less than
thirty days.
1t is estimated that for fuel purposes
three and one-half barrels of oil are
equal to a ton of the best Pittsburg
coal. on this basis the oil could come
into competition with Pittsburg coal
MT all lake points and contiguous terri
tory where coal is worth over $3.50 q

to be built along the river way. Not
only the cost of construction but Of
maintenance of the canal will be con-
sidered in fixing upon location. The
preliminary survey will be followed
by closer survey of the line select
ed and typographical survey of the
Uncompahgre valley to determine the
full benefits of the canal. Measure
ments of the water in the GunnisOn
river will also be made in connection
with the surveys.
When completed the TUNED and ca
nal will be capable of supplying water
for irrigation and power. The fOrma-
ton of the country there is rather Pc
culiar. The Gunnison river flows to
the mouth of the Vernal mesa and
the UncOmpahgre valley is to the
south. The river is approximately
1,5OO feet higher than the valley and
the mesa is formation of trachyte
and sandstone. 1t will be necessary
to tunnel this immense wall and the
preliminary survey will determine the
length of the tunnel and the probable
cost. There will he no opposition to
taking the water from the river for
the ranchmen along its course have all
the water they need and some to
spare"

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
stantial" 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 a half and had been preceded by
an hours conference between the
President and Senators Platt of Con-
AS the author OF the amendment. the
President desired to learn the views
of Senator Platt and also those of
Senator Lodge. who is one of the in
fiuential members of the committee
on foreign relations.
At the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the inter-
pretations of the. Platt amendment
contained in the constitution adopted
by the convention. and the whereases
appended to it. went outside of fair
Interpretation of its meaning and was
unacceptable. In this view the Cabi-
net concurred.
Ne Cabinet held that the amend
mehts 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 no
power resting in the United States
government to change the terms of
the Platt amendment, and that this
government insists upon the accept
ance of the Platt amendment without
amendment or qualification.
