CUBANS MAY ACCEPT PLATT
AMENDMENT WITH GOOD GRACE

| convention OF the Platt law in modified
| form is generally regarded on the island
as joke, Is about the only radical who
is still holding out uncompromisinelv
against acceptance.
1t Is not expected that at it's meeting
the cabinet will make any further an
nouncement in respect to Cuba, nor is it
likely that any news will be given out
concerning it's deliberations on that
subject 1t Is more than likely that in
view of the changing mood among the
constitution makers at Havana, the
cabinet will discuss the form and da.v
of promugation of the electoral law for
the first general election and the or
ganization and equipment of the Cuban
republic. 1t is known that both Secre-
taAy Root and Attorney General Knox
have been giving this phase of the SUBJ
ject consideration in detail during the
last few days, and before the secretary
Of war left Washington for the Buffalo
exposition he and the attorney general
conferred on this matter at the request
of the president.
Before the convention at Havana
manifested a disposition to trite with
the Platt law it had been hoped in
Washington official circles that the Gu.
bans would be ready to hold their first
general election by the last of October
or the first of November next. If the
convention conform to the Platt law
within the next two or three weeks, it
is considered probable that the tentative
plan can be carried on by the original
date.
If this should be done. it is believed
that the president in compliance with
the Platt law, would be able to with
draw all American troops from the
island soon after the beginning of the
new year and that by next spring the
Cuban government will be wholly in the
hands of the Cubans. In the meantime
joint commission, representing the two
countries could be formulating some
scheme Of reciprocity, on which congress
could act and thus Cuba's serious eco
nomic problems would be far advanced
toward solution about the time the
island attained independence and SOW
ereignty.

from the wording of the terms of ex-

The four for one and share for share

for if from 1-3 new Amalgamated

duced, there remains l 1-3 shares OF
Amalgamated for 1-3 shares of Butte &
Boston-which is, of course, equivalent to

\oy AsSOCl0leu fTeSS.)
Washington, June lin spite of
statements of cabinet officers to the
contrary. it is strongly believed that
their call on the president last night was
not strictly social. Vague hints are
given out that matters of public inter-
est pressing for attention impelled the
president to summon his advisers
around him and naturally it is surmised
to be something urgent, something hav-
ing occurred in Cuba, probably, which
he wanted to lay before the regular
session of the cabinet sothat they
might have the subject well digested
before being called to account on it.
At it's meeting today the cabinet will
receive rather encouraging reports from
Cuba. Late advices from Gen. Wood in
dicate that the two or three members of
the constitutional convention VINO were
most active and outspoken at first in
their hostility to the Plat law, are now
about to align themselves with the sup
porters of that law and 1t is strongly
intimated as probable that If final vote
is reached in the convention this week,
the Platt law, without modificat1o or
amendment. will be Incorporated into
the constitution OF Cuba.
The sharp note, the second on the SUBJ
ject. sent by Secretary Root through
Gen. Wood, Is believed to have had the
desired influence at Havana. In this
note the secretary of war sets forth
plainly and unequivocally the attitude
of this government as firm and unyield-
ing. This note apparently has made 1t
plain to the leaders of the radical party
that in the end they would suffer in
power and prestige by being exposed as
the real and only obstructionists of Gu
ban independence.

Honolulu, June 5. via San Francisco,
June 11.-Details of the most shocking
tragedy at sea that has been reported
since the famous mutiny on the bark
Hester some years ago, were brought last
Sunday by the American schooner j. A.
Campbell, Captain A. E. Smith, from
Port Blakeley with lumber.
The mate of the vessel, Adam Huber,
was murdered by the Chinese cook, and
the latter. after terrorizing the whole
crew by holding possession of the gall

ment of which it was feared he would set

self rather than be brought forth and be
captured, and when the crew finally en-
tered the cabin. they found the China
mans body literally cooked by steam.
The trouble occurred on May 9, when
the vessel was seven days out on her
journey. The members of the crew state
that they do not know the case of the
quarrel that finally ended in the double
tragedy. Huber entered the galley where
the cook, All Kee. was doing his work.
A moment later when he was coming
out All Kee fired at him twice with his
revolver. The mate fell in the COM
panion way and died almost before he
could be removed into the cabin. The
cook entered the galley and fired several
shots. 1t was impossible to enter the
galley except from a ladder, and the
Chinaman had convinced all that it was

death for any one to attempt to make
the entrance.
Captain Smith distributed arms among
the crew and tried to get All Kee out,
but All Kee only showed himself once.
The second mate covered him with a
revolver, and the Mongolian went back
into the galley Night settled down and
the schooner continued on her course
with the galley in possession of the
murderer and the entire crew armed
and watching for him.
There was quantity of kerosene
where the murderer was. and it was
feared that he would set fire to the ship,
The watch continued all night and the
next morning it was decided, as a last
resort, to steam the murderer out of his
unapproachable refuge.
The donkey engine was fired and the
necessary connections were made and
a force of steam was turned into the
galley where the Chinaman lay in wait
The crew heard pistol shot while they
were at work, but paid no attention to
it Steam was turned into the galley
and the force was kept UP for an hour.
Then the men entered the cooks quar-
terst They found All Kee seated in a
chair with bullet wound through his
head and revolver where it had drop
ped from his hand. The steam had fair
~ cooked his flesh so that the body
came apart when the men removed it.

the statements accredited to Mr.. c..

ject was with regard to reports sent
from the east concerning fabulous sums
of money won by Mr.. Clark at the races.
In this item, Mr.. Clark claims that he
was rather elaborated upon. Upon these
! two subjects. however the Inter Noun.
tain has nothing retract.
But it is upon the third item in
the interview that the Inter Noun.
tain must extend it's most sincere
apologies. That the article in ques-
tion did appear in this paper. and
in addition to this, that the car
toon on the second page of the same
issue, was printed. is a source of great
regret to the management of this paper,
and the most profound apologies of the

ly extended.
