CUBA UNDER COERCION.
q Decision in Advance That the Platt Amendment Must Stand
 Is Evident.

Within a week the Cuban constitu- tional convention defeated motion to accept the Platt amendment, but two votes out of 26 being recorded in the affirmative. Neither rancor nor haste has been displayed by the mem Oers of the convention in reaching this de- cisive conclusion. Every feature of the amendment was exhaustively dis cussed, this treatment. being in strik- ing contrast with the way in which the measure was hustled through the sen ate ill the final rush of business when there was no chance to investi- gate it's merits, give the side of Cuba a hearing or do anything but blindly obey administration orders. The al most unanimity with which the amendment was rejected and the rap idly changing sentiment among those who have heretofore favored either Q protectorate or annexation, cannot but be accepted as expressive of the will of the majority.
 The tension is not as great as might be implied from the bitterness of the
 
 coarse and insulting cartoon of the president and the secretary of war, but wherever there has been chance to test the popular sentiment 1t has pronounced against the amendment. A week ago the national party in San tiago, representative of the masses, passed a resolution against the de-
 IL f a most conservative element is insisting that the United States should at least make larger tariff concessions to the island thus giving substantial evi- dence of the extreme friendhness eX- pressed.
 Now there is talk of the constitu- tional convention sending to Washing ton commission to consult with the president and secretary of war re- garding the Platt amendment. It is not to be expected that much com fort can be had from this original source of the legislation objected to. There is a decision in advance that it must stand, and the one satisfaction to be hoped for is a definite construc- lIOIls lHOlSll tIlS NOdlO hdNC IO DIhb ing force any more than did the memorable pledge of congress that Cuba should have absolute indepen- dence. It will be recalled in this con- nection that the administrative de- partment urged upon both the senate and house the promptest action upon matters involving our colonial inter- ests, as it was essential to know just where the government stood, but now that we are dealing with a weaker and dependent power of our own creation there is not the slightest hurry to en- tighten it as to it's status. The presi- dent will not change his plans for a pleasure trip and the commission will have to abide his convenience.-De- troit Free Press. ~

A DESPOTIC SYSTEM.
Acts of United States Military Of- fcers That Are Worse Than
 Imperialistic.

The World does not believe that this country is in any danger of i'm perialism-that is, if the word is used in it's strict sense, meaning a system or state of imperial govern ment. It is impossible to conceive of the United States as anything but a republic in the fullest sense of the word.
 But it must be admitted Shat acts by military officers of the United States are becoming too common and, what is worse, receive neither rebuke nor punishment from the president, who is sworn to uphold the constitution, with all i+s guaran- tees of personal liberty and of free dom of speech and of the press.
 It is a fact that Gen. Macarthur deported from the Philippines a cit izen of the United States and sup pressed his newspaper for printing a criticism of the administration of the customs service at Manila which the present exposure of frauds there more than justifies.
 It is a fact that Gov. Gen. Wood, of the army in Cuba, shut up and sealed a newspaper office without trial, simply by his personal edct, because it printed a cartoon which was personally offensive to him.
 It is a fact that Gov. Gen. Wood, by another edict, imprisoned two editors because he thought they had published libel.
 We venture to say that with all the outrageous acts of the imperial gov ernment against the freedom of the press in Germany, and on account of lese majeste, Kaiser Wilhelm has never dared to disregard all phases of the law and justice and all respect for public opinion as fiagrantly as Gen. Wood has done in these cases.
 And yet it is often said that the emperor is crazy! And yet Cuba is held, by sacred pledge of congress unanimously passed, to be free and tndependent!"-N. Y. World.
