Washington, June 1.-The president
and the cabinet at their meeting de-
cided that the action OF the Cuban con-
stitutional convention was not sub
stantial" compliance with the terms Of
the Platt amendment. The secretary Of
war will convey this fact to the con-
vention.
The three main points in which the
action of the Cuban constitutional con-
vention is regarded as unsatisfactory
relate, 1t is said, to coaling stations,
sanitation and intervention The Gu
ban convention took from the coaling
stations paragraph of the Plat amend
ment its obligatory character and
merely authorized the Cuban govern
ment, In its judgment, to allow the
United States to possess coaling or ma
val stations. The United States will
insist on an absolute agreement to
grant us these coaling stations. With
respect to sanitation the Cubans do not
agree to carry out plans already de-
vised and in accepting the Plat amend
ment modify its provisions so as to
change them considerably. In the mat,
ter OF intervention our objection Is that
the Cubans have SO changed this vital
ly important part Of the Plat amend
ment as to make our right to intervene
an ambiguous and doubtful matter,
whereas we insist on a straight, une-
quivocal acknowledgement OF our right

Independence or a stable government.
Cubans disappointed.
Havana, June 1.-The decision Of the
United States government not to accept
the Cuban constitution as adopted by
the Havana convention caused great
surprise and keen disappointment to
those members of the convention who
voted in favor of the constitution as
adopted. Two leading Conservatives
who were interviewed on the subject
said, in substance, that they had rea-
son to suppose that the constitution
would be acceptable to Washington,
and that otherwise they would not
have voted for the majority report as
submitted. They also pointed out that
in order to avoid a possibility of re-
lection the majority report had been
changed at the last moment by strik-
ing out the Interpretation at the end OF
the clauses, and putting these in the
form of a resolution by themselves,
thus accepting the Plat amendment as
passed by congress.

A dearth Of violets may not sound
alarming to those who are not aware
OF the great Importance Of this flower
in perfumery. At present great dis
tres prevails all along the Riviera,
and especially at Nice owing to the
failure of the violet harvest. The ex-
ceptionally cold spring and the bit
ter winds have destroyed the blooms,
and the peasantry are in such q pitt
full condition that public appeal has
been made to assist them until the
young plants can be bedded out. The
orange flower crop has also been very
bad. The marked change In the cli-
mate Of Nice is said to be due to the
frequent fires which have destroyed
the forests in the Estereals. and it is
now proposed to replant them, and to
pass vigorous law for their better
preservation.

Maid of Athens Is a Barber.

A handsome young Athenian girl dis
covered lately that her parents were
not as wealthy as she had supposed
them to be, and that she would have to
work for a living. Being Of an original
turn of mind, she at once decided to be-
come barber.
That no woman in Greece had hereto
fore practiced such a profession she
knew well; yet, though the step was
hazardous, she went ahead boldly, and
hired a large store in the Stadion street
in Athens, which she soon transformed
into a most luxurious barber shop.
Then she placed an advertisement In
all the local papers. In which she court.
eously offered her services to Athenian
gentlemen.
The effect OF this polite invitation
was instantaneous. On the very first
day her shop was crowded with men,
young and old, who waited patiently
until she had time to shave them or
cut their hair. So dextereus was her
work that almost all promised to be-
come her regular customers. Her sue
cess Is assured, for, though there De
better BARRIERS in Athens, they are all
men, and she Is one OF the prettiest
girls in the city.-New York Journal.
