CUBANS REPUDIATED
Action of Convention Not Accept
able TO United States.
PLATT AMENDMENT CHANGED
Notice of Rejection Is Served Upon
Convention and Great Chagrin
Is Expressed BY
Delegates.

A Washington special says: The
administration has decided that tho
action of the Cuban constitutional
convention in accepting the terms of
the Platt amendment, with modiflca-
tions and interpretations of it's own,
was not "substantiaT compliance with
Our terms within the meaning of the
amendment. and Secretary Root will
convey this intelligence to the con-
vention.
The decision was reached at the cab
met meeting Friday. The meeting last
ed over an hour and half and had
been preceded by an hours confer
ence between the president and Sena-
tor Platt of Connecticut, and Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts,. AS the au-
thor of the amendment, the president
desired to learn the views of Senator
Platt, and also those of Senator Lodge,
who is one of the influential members
of the committee on foreign relations.
At the cabinet meeting Secretary
Root took the position that the inter-
probation Of the Platt amendment con-
tanned in the constitution adopted by
the convention, and the "Whereases'
appended to it went outside OF a fair
Interpretation of it's meaning and were
unacceptable. In this view the cabl-
net concurred.
When asked as to what would be
the next step of the government, after
the Cuban convention had been notl-
fed of it's action, one Of the members
of the cabinet said that the govern
ment could do nothing further until
the convention again acted; that as
long as the conditions Of the Platt
amendment were on the statute books
compliance with them must precede
our REIMBURSEMENT of control over the
island.
The cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the Gu
ban convention upon the Cuban
amendment amounted to practlcal
modification of the Platt amendment,
such as was beyond the power of this
government to accept. The message
of rejection sent to General Wood ad-
yises the Cubans, in unqualified Ian
guage, ,aat there is no power resting
in the United States government to
change the terms Of the PIatt amend
ment, and that this government insists
on the acceptance of the Platt amend
ment without amendment or qualifica-
tion. The Cuban convention is still
in session, and the message Of rejec-
ton will be delivered to it Immediate
ly. The administration is confident
that the Cubans will understand the
exact attitude of this government and
make a satisfactory acceptance with
in a reasonable period.

Latest McLaurin Rumor.

A SpcCIdl to the CnarlOtte OOSel'el
from Bennettsville, the home of Sena'
tor McLaurin, says there are gUod rea-
sons for believing that. just prior to
the meeting of congress, in December,
Senator McLaurin will resign and re-
quest Governor McSweeney to appoint
his successor Should the senator do
this. which is most likely, he would
expect the governor to appoint
strong man representing the political
views of Messrs. Bryan and Tillman,
and the senator would meet this gen.
tleman in 1902 on the hustings with
the purpose Of regaining his place IN
the senate. Senator McLaurin believes
that he has as much right to define
democratic principles as has Mr.. Bry-
an, Mr.. Tillman, or any one else. Mr.
McLaurin says that Mr.. Bryan and
MIR. Tillman are both opposed to true
democracy and advocated populism,
socialism and communism, and that he
is opposed to these disturbing polltl-
cal dogmas and is determined. by the
aid of his fellow citizens, and the help
of his God, to forever bury these South
Carolina disturbers of the public
peace.
One thing is settled: Those who
know John L. McLaurin are convinced
that the next eighteen months in the
Palmetto State will encompass the
fercest political battle ever waged
within her borders.
One thing that convinces your cor
respondent that the gentlemen manag-
ing this movement are in earnest and
are in the fight to the finish is this,
in a short time, so the cards announce,
a strong daily morning paper will be
established in the city OF Columbia
with a brilliant South Carolinian now
residing in Richmond, Va, as editor.
Committee May Take a Hand.
A member of the state democratic
executive committee in talking about
the situation, said that he thought the
state committee ought to take hand
in the matter. If McLaurin was not
democrat and would not support the
party platform and attend the party
caucusses or abide the results OF the
party caucus, then, in his opinion, II
McLaurin refuses to abide by the plat
form and the actions of his party in
congress, the state democratic COM
mittee might very we'll ask for his
resignation or ask that he seek an in
dorsement from the democratic voters.
The committeeman said that he dld
not know whether the matter would
come up, but it was likely that 1t
would in some shape, and that II 1t
did the committee would have to take
action, and it would then be LETT to
Senator McLaurin as to whether ne
would pay any attention to the COM
mittee or not. The committee may
take the same view of it that Cover
nor McSweeney has and not care to
precipitate a political row in an on
year.
Governor McSweeney continues to
receive letters congratulating him on
his course in connection with the re-
signations.

Cubans Are Surprised.

A special from Havana says: The
decision of the United States govern
ment not to accept the Cuban constl-
tuition as adopted by the Havana con-
vention caused great surprise ana
keen disappointment to those mem
bers Of the convention who voted IN
favor Of the constitution as adopted.
Two of the leading conservatives,
interviewed Friday night on the sub
iect. said in substance that they had
reason to suppose that the consti:u-
ton would be acceptable to Washing
ton and that otherwise they would not
have voted for the majority report as
submitted.
1T is true" said one Of the con-
servatives in question, that the COM
mittee's interpretations of the explain
alton of the Teller resolution, which
were offered by Governor General
Wood and Secretary Root, together
with the Washington commissions re-
port. were included with the Platt
amendment as an appendix to the con-
stitution; but when we voted on the
report, it was with but one purpose in
view, namely, to accept the Platt
amendment"
Both delegates expressed regret
that a misunderstanding hau arisen,
and said they doubted that the conven-
ton would now reconsider this action,
las the fight had been hot, the victory
had been won by only one vote, and
those who had tried to do their duty
toward their country had been bitterly
assailed as traitors and perjurers.

RAYMOND HABEAS CORPUS CASE.

latter to be Determined i'm the Untted
states Court in Philadelphia by Judge
bradford.
Much interest is being manifested in
philadelphia relative to the habeas
corpus proceedings in the United States
Court' in that city, before Judge Brad
ford, in the case of the RAYMOND
brothers, incarcerated In the PenusyI-
yania Eastern Penitentiary IN the
Middletown Bank cases. 1t is now five
weeks since the argument was made,
and it is expected that the opinion
when rendered will be a document Of
national Importance, as it is rarely go
much time is taken in habeas corpus
case.
There is not the slightest intimation
as to what the verdict will be. but
some lawyers are inclined to believe
that 1t will be adverse to the applics.
,tion for release. Others think that
the application will he granted and
that delay is necessary by reason of the
great Importance of the case. This case
will settle all of the Federal prisopers'
atatus under the new Communication law
OF Pennsylvania passed last winter to
make the law on a par with that Of
New York and New England States, as
well as Ohio and many of the " sstern
States. The point involved is whether
prisoners sentenced before the law was
passed are entitled to Communication
under its provisions.

(Author Unknown.l
Behold this ruin Twas a skull
Once of ethereal spirits full
This narrow cell was life's retreat;
This space was thoughts mysterious seat
What beauteous pictures filled this spot
What dreams of pleasures long forgot
Nor love, nor joy, nor hope, nor fear,
Has left one trace of record here.
Beneath this noldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void -
If social love that eve employed,
II with no lawless fire it CLEANED,
But through the dew of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns have lost their light.
Here, in this silent cavern, hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue;
If felsehood's honey it disdained,
And, where II could rot praise. was chained
II bold IN virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke
That tuneful tongue shall plead for thee
When death unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with its envied rubies shine!
10 hew the rock or wear the gem
Can nothing now avail to them;
But IL the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort 10 the mourner brought
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that waits on wealth or fame.
Avails 1t whether bare or shod
These feet the path of duty trod?
II from the bowers of joy they fled
70 soothe affections humble he'd
If grandenr's guilty bride they spurped.
And home TO virtues lap returned,
These feet with angels wings shall vie.
