TIE REPUBLIC G CUBA.
The War Department Has Received
aCopy of the Constitution Of
the Republic of Cuba.
THE DOCUMENT IS BEING TRANSLATED,
The PIntt Amendment Appears ms an
Ordinance Amended to the Con-
stitutiOn, which the Government
of Cuba VIII EmbOdy in IA Treaty
with the United states.

New York, July 1.-THE war de-
partment has received an of1cial copy
of the constitution of the republic or
Cuba, saws a Washington dispatch to
the Tribune, duly authorized by uen'
Wood and the proper authorities ana
the document is now being carefully
translated into English by the expert
lineuists of the insular division. The
chief interest naturally centers IN the
manner in which the Cuban conven-
ton has incorporated the so-called
Platt amendment in the document. IL
appears from the official draft that
the convention has formally con-
formed to all the requirements, tax.
ing care, however, to do so with least
possible injury to condition of Gu
ban self-respect. The eight articles
of the Platt resolution, which were
enacted by congress as an amend
ment to the last army appropriation
bill, are not made part" Of the con-
stitution in sense of entering bodily
into its composition, but they appear
as ian ordinance appended thereto,
following the voluminous articles of
the fundamental law of the land,
without comment or explanation
other than the simple title, "appen-
dix"
As n further concession to the pub
lie pride manifested by the Cubans,
the last article of the Platt resolu-
tion is changed somewhat
As congress adopted it, this article
read;
"vIII-That by way of further as
surancc, the government OF Cuba will
embody the foregoing provisions in a
permanent treaty with the United
States.
"The Cuban convention has stricken
out the words, that by way OF
further assurance" and the article is
left to assert with simple directness,
"the government of Cuba WILL" etc.

THEODORE j. SHAFFER-~
The above is the statement made by
President Shaffer of the Amalgamated
association, late last evening, as he
emerged from the Carnegie building
with a party Of Amalgamated asso-
citation officers and officers OF the
American Sheet Steel Co.
1t was at the end of the most event
full day in the history of organized Ia
Dor and was made so by the decided
stand taken by President Shaffer Ia
the Wellsville case.
The conference yesterday lasted for
almost two hours, but what was said
or done was not given out save
through the above statement made by
President Shaffer. 1t was evidently
decided that the best interests OF
both sides demanded that the wage
conference be held at as early date
as possible in spite Of the trouble at
Wellsville. IL is understood that on
hearing the statement Of Vice-Presi.
dent Chappell regarding the Ohio as
sociation, assurance was given that Il
could easily be adjusted and would
be. This being the case, the confer.
ence was quickly arranged.
President Shaffer said last night:
81 did announce that l would not
treat with the employers until mat
ters were adjusted ut Wellsville, and
that would declare general strike
on Thursday II matters were not fixed,
but ! later changed my mind. / an
not at liberty to state what brought
this about, but It will como wut In
good time"
