and the President was DESTROYS Of OBJ
training the views Of those senators as
to whether the action Of the eonslitu-
tional convention was substantial ae-
qulescence in the Plat amendment
The senators who talked with the
President say that The whole matter Is
one for the executive TO decide as the
amendment authorizes the President to
relinquish control Of Cuba when gov
eminent has been established which
substantially agrees to It's terms
The conferences relating to Cuban
affairs Among leading administration Of
fcials ana leading members Of the

Washington have continued, and
though no definite determination has
been reached there is quite a decided
sentiment toward accepting the action
Of the convention as a substantial
compliance with the terms Of the Platt
amendment There is great deal Of
addenda in the way Of explanation and
Interpretation in the report Of the COM
mittee on relations with Cuba, which
has oetn adopted that is wholly UNI
satisfactory to the President and also
to those who have been consulting
with him, but there is an earnest de-
sire 10 reach the best possible results
One OF The most Objectionable features
OF the Interpretation is the addition Of
the words saying that the action Of
the United States is an application
Of the Monroe doctrine. 1t is emphati-
cally stated By some Of those who have
been present at the conferences that the
Monroe doctrine has nothing whatever
TO do with the present situation in Gu

Of the President is to retire from Cuba

Of the island the future relations be-
