cup contest followed. Whistles, bella
bands and cheers united In o grand
chorus of jubilation and J. Pierpont
Morgan's steam yacht Corsair added
to the terrific din by firing q national
salute OF 81 guns.
After the Columbia had hauled
down her sails and set her victory flag
the excursion boats crowded alongside
TO cheer the Yankee sailors and tho
winning skipper. Nor did they forget
either Upton or his gallant craft. In
turn the crowded steamers ran along
side the Shamrock and Erin and the
vanquished received almost as much
honor M the victor.
And thus. with felicitations all
around. the twelfth series OF races for
the old cup which the schooner Amer
lea brought over 30 years ago ended
with the best of feeling.
While taking his defeat gamcly, Sir
Thomas Upton made no attempt TO
conceal mis- honest disappointment
when he talked about the races last
night on the Erin.

said, II can't hide that. I thought

Hardly had the Erina anchors
touched bottom when a launch from

said:

Commodore Lewis Cnss Ledyard,

"sir Thomas, we have never had q
truer sportsman to deal with"
Many of Sir Thomas guests on
board the Erin crowded around to
express their sympathies nj his dc.

place he had won In the hearts of all
Americans.

When asked about his plans for tho

think about"
y. ID. Morgan, the manager Of the
Columbia, said:

NOT SATISF ACTORY
GOveTnnne VIII Not Ac
Cept Action of Cuban
Convention.

Washington, May 81 Senators
Platt of Connecticut, Lodge of Mas
Zach usetts and Fairbanks cf Indiana
conferred an hour with the PresideL I
on the Cuban situation. The presi-
dent desires to determine whether
the action OF the Cuban convention
is substantial compliance with the
terms of the Platt amendment. 1t
IS the general opinion it will be so
regarded by the President and cabi-
net, though some interpretations
put on it by Cubans are not at all
satisfactory.
The President and cabinet today
at their meeting decided that the ac-
tion of the Cuban constitutional con
vention was not substantial com
pliance with the terms of the Platt
amendment. The secretary of war
will convey this decision to the
Cuban convention.
When asked what would be the
s4~e--:--~aso-estre'rsr 5fsrfarrUn ONO
of the memb bars of the cabinet said
the government could do nothing un-
til the Cuban convention again acted
or until the Platt amendment was
modified by congress. The cabinet
considered the supreme court 5 re
cent dicision in insular cases as APP
piled to the Philippines but no def
mite conclusion was reached.
