pLArT AMENDMENT AND SUGAR.
The Matters Discussed by Root and the Cuban
Delegates.
(By the Associated Press }

10y Tie ASSOCICLSu lSoS'J
Washington, April rs. 1t is perfectly
clear now that the main poincs at issue
and under discussion between the Cuban
delegation and the Secretary of War are
Intervention as contained in the Plat
Amendment and sugar. The delegates
have been assured that the intervention
provided for in the Plat Amendment
will be construed by this Government in
the broadcast possible manner and that it
is not contemplated that intervention or
any other provision in the Platt Amend
ment shall be used to the detriment of
Cuba, but entirely for her good.
The sugar problem is uppermost in the
minds of the members of the delegation
and the earnest manner in which General
Wood has been advocating liberal terms
toward Cuba in the matter of sugar
duties has encouraged them to believe
that the Administration will, at least,
urge Congress to make concessions in
the matter of that staple.
There was another conference at the
War Department this afternoon lasting
more than three hours. At this sitting not
only the political relations of Cuba
and the United States were discussed, but
There was dlSO uiuGl LlIuG uCNOLCu W Tic
economic questions, such as the possibility
of reduction of the tariff on sugar, and
general reciprocity arrangements between
this country and the island.
This was regarded as practically the
last business conference by the United
States officials, thought it is quite proba-
BILE that the Cubans will desire another
conference with Secretary Root in order
to have some points that have been dis
cussed further elucidated after they have
considered among themselves statements
made to them by the Secretary
Tomorrow the Cubans will again be es-
corted to the White House and will say
good bye to the President. There will
be- no further conference with Secretary
Root until Monday This was determined
upon by the delegation after it's return
from the War Department this evening.
No statement, official or otherwise,
could be obtained from the delegation as
to the progress that was made during
the conference today, nor would the dele
gates go so far as to say they We're salts
fed While it is believed by the United
States officials who were present at the
conference today that everything that
possibly could be explained by this Gov
eminent had been gone into, yet if the
Cubans desire to make further inquiries
they will be given the opportunity. 1t is
believed by the United States officials
that very fair understanding has been
reached and that the complete report of
the interviews with the Secretary which
the delegation will take back to the con-
vention will have very satisfactory res
suit upon the members OF that body.

CAN HE HOLD COURT.
Judge George a. Jones in the Fifteenth Dis
trict.

The legality of the holding of courts
by Judge Geo. A. Jones in the Fifteenth
district is to be decided at once. 1t will
be remembered that the recent Legisla-
ture provided that the judge of the Six
teenth district to be appointed prior to
March 18th was empowered to hold The
courts of the Fifteenth district. Governor
Aycock appointed Mr.. Geo. Jones as the
Judge of the Sixteenth district and he
is now holding a court in that district
and has decided one case.
In order to test the legality of his ac-
tons the appeal in the case, based on
the Question Of the legality Of the court,
has been made up and yesterday Attor-
ney General Gilmer was telegraphed that
the briefs in the appeal had been for
warded. These will reach here this morn
ing and the case will be advanced before
the Supreme court so that the legal
question involved may be settled at
once.
1t is understood that Judge Jones has
only decided this one case and will wait
TO hear from the Supreme court pending
its decision. before he hears other cases
in the Fifteenth district.
If the papers reach here in time it is
expected that the matter will be attend
ed to at today's session of the Supreme
court and that an opinion will be render
ed at once in order to facilitate the hold
ing of courts in the Fifteenth district
The decision is awaited with great in
terest. as it affects many courts which
ought to be held before the entire act
act establishing sixteen judicial districts
goes into effect,
