THE AWARDS FOR SUPPLIES.
Mr. Smith approves Those Made for
the Postofice Department

The Postmaster General approved today
the report OF the Committee of Awards
for the examination of samples and prices
submitted with the bids for supplies for
the PostOffce Department and Postal Ser
vice. The proposals for these supplies
were received up to noon Of May 2, and
it took nearly a month for the committee
to examine the great number OF bids and
samples furnished IN answer to the adver-
tisement
The result Of the competition is very
satisfactory to the department., IN that
the quality OF the supplies offered is up to
the standard heretofore set by the depart
ment, while the prices have not increased
except in a few minor items On many
items the prices have been reduced.
The price for rubber bands for use OF
the entire postal service has been reduced
by an amount equal to 5000, and on the
manila wrapping papers used there is a
reduction -Cf zh9at the same sum, white
Cor the twine used II tfe postal service
for tying letter packages there is a re-
duCtion of about see 001.
These items. taken together, are of great
Importance, to the department and are
notable when 1t Is considered that the
general prices IN the business world are
very firm. A great many enquiries have
been made of the department in regard
TO these awards, and il IS hoped to have
the detailed order ready for use in noti-
fying the different bidders within very
short time

THE PLATT AMENDMENT.
Position of the Government Made
Plain to Cuban Delegates.

The Secretary Of War yesterday sent
communication by cable to Governor Cen
eral Wood at Havana expressing the
views of the President concerning the at
titude of the Cuban Constitutional Con-
vention on the Platt amendment The
terms of this communication were Outlin-
ed at yesterdays Cabinet meeting when
the present ASPECT of the Cuban question
was discussed in detail
While the message of the President
transmitted through the Secretary Of War
is not a direct official communication to
the constitutional convention it is intend
ed to have the effect Of direct warning
to the delegates against radical action IN
consistent with the purposes of this Gov
eTuu1ent as laid down in the Platt amend
ment.
/ The message reiterates and emphasizes
( the refusal of this Government to accept
1 the action of the convention in attach
/ ing to the resolution adopting the Platt
amendment an interpretation Of its mean
/ ing The Government holds that the
/ amendment must speak fo~ itself, as it
/ Is law OF Congress, and neither the
! American Government nor the Constitu-
! tionaI convention has the right to say
I that it means more or less than its terms
/ set forth in plain English
/ All the communications between the
! Government and the constitutional con
ventioH are regarded as unofficial, and are
! therefore not binding As a matter OF
! fact the only direct official exchange be
! tween the Government and the constitu-
tionaI convention has been through the
medium Of the committee sent by the
! convention to Washington All other eX-
changes have been between the conven-
ticn and General Wood. and between the
War Department and General Wood, and
have been considered Informal and unof'

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF DOWNS
Little Done Toward Making q Search
for the Body.

Practically nothing has been done by
the police today toward search for the
: )dy of John A Downs. who is supposed
TO have jumped from the Charles MacaI-
lister last night and whose hat, coat, and
cane were found on the lower deck of the
steamer just after the GIymont wharf had
been passed. Harbormaster Sutton made
an effort to locate the place where the
man is said to have jumped from the boat,
but was unable to do so It is believed
that he left the boat somewhere between
indian Head and the White House land
ing It will probably he from three days
TO a week before the body floats and un-
til it does the police believe that there is
little chance Of its being found
Mr. Sutton has requested all rivermen
to keep a lookout for the body, and notify
him if ii is found, but he is handicapped
in any search that he might make by the
disabled condition of the police boat
which has not been in serviceable shape
for some weeks

cigar salesman in this city. has roomed

The men went on strike for an in
crease in wages which the railroad com
pany refused to grant The convention Of
the international Association Of Machin-
lists in Toronto condemned the action as
unauthorized and, IN accordance with that
decision. the strike is declared off. The
reason all the men did not return today
is said to be that most Of them wish to

This trouble with Hnachinists threatened
to be serious for the railroad company at

days ago that carpenters blacksmiths.

INVOLVEMENT TO PENSIONERS
The Effect of an Order Regarding
Witnesses TO Vouchers

The Commissioner of Pensions recently
issued an order which has caused great
Inconvenience to persons dra wing pen
siOns and residing in the District of Co
lumiba- The order requires that all wit
nesses signing widows vouchers must add
District of Columbia to the names and
addresses. Heretofore this has not been
required
The rule went into effect on June l. and
as a result a large number of widows
vouchers executed this month has been
returned by the Pension Office for corTec-
ton. 1t is Gained by the notaries who
execute the vouchers that they were not
notified Of the new rule by the authorities
and as a result did not have the wit
nesses add District of Columbia When
the vouchers were returned, the pension
ees were obliged to hunt up the witnesses
again, bring them before the notaries,
and have the vouchers properly executed.

THE INDEMNITY DEADLOCK.
Mr. RockhIII Suggests Arbitration
Of the Bond Question

Failing TO secure better terms for China
and in the hope Of ending the deadlock at
Pekin over the question of how the Chi

guaranteed, Special Commissioner Rock
hill according to a despatch from him to
the State Department, has suggested to
his diplomatic colleagues that the mat
ters in dispute be referred to the arbitra-
ton Of The Hague Permanent Tribunal
In doing this, MT. RockhiIl acted under
instructions sent to Edwin H CongeT, the
American Minister, many months ago. No
confidence is felt here in the success of
Mr.. ROckhiH's newest move. 1t is be
lieved that the Powers are determined to

reference to any judicial tribunal and as
