Is Plat Amendment Adopted?

The president and his advisers
must determine whether the Platt
amendment has been substantially
adopted by the convention. This Is
preliminary to the withdrawal of the
United States authority and forces
from the island of Cuba If it should
be found that the Interpretation of
the convention is not satisfactory to
this government quite difficult prob
lem arises, as it seems to be the in.
tention Of the Cubans to proceed to
form a government, and that govern.
ment must be recognized or rejected
by the president, as he has full power
to determine whether the act of con
gress has been complied with by the
convention.
Another problem which has been
discussed by those, interested in Gu.
ban affairs relates to what would fol
low should the new Cuban govern.
ment be recognized. The Cuban gov
eminent, it is asserted. will be for
some time without the machinery to
execute its own laws and put in Oh.
GRAFTON its own edicts 1t is held
by some lawyers that the moment
the Cuban government is recognized
the authority of the United States
ceases, and there is some question
as to who would be responsible for
the preservation of law and order,
as the new government woala have
no troops and no police force and
would be practically powerless should
there be any opposition to its de
crees and orders. The question
whether United States forces would
be warranted in UNFOLDING the gov
ernment in executing its orders has
been raised; also whether the presi-
dent of the United States would be
authorized as commander-in-chief Of
the army to give orders to our troops
