A SIGNIFICANT CONCESSION BY THE
CUBAN DELEGATES-VIEWS OF
SENATOR O. H. PLATT.
LBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BUHE.l

tBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE.l
Washington. March 19.-With the return of
the President to Washington to-day there has
come a fresh revival of rumors regarding af-
fairs in Cuba The most sensational of these
was that the President found awaiting him a
cable dispatch from Governor-General Wood
which spoke despairingly of the prospects of an
early acceptance by the Cuban Constitutional
Convention of the terms for withdrawal of
American sovereignty over the island contained
in the Platt amendment. Instead of receiving
advces of this character. the President learned
from GovernOr-Cieneral Wood that there has
been virtually no change in the political stua
ton at Havana in the last week or ten days,
II is hinted. however that the expressed will
ingness of the constitution makers TO yield the
Isle of Pines to this country without dispute
or contention is a sign of a growing disposition
among the delegates to take up for considera-
tion seriously and at earlier date than
seemed probable week ago the whole question
of the relations between the United States and
Cuba In the original draft of their constitu-
tion the delegates We're careful to define the
boundaries of Cuba a to include the Isle of
Pines. in the face Of the fact that this country
claimed that small bit Of territory under the
terms Of the Treaty of Paris. If now they are
willing to concede the American claim TO it. they
Will have to revise their constitution TO
exclude the Isle OF Pines from the boundaries
of Cuba
In comparison with the greater advantages TO
be gained by securing naval stations at various
harbors Of Cuba. the American contention over
the Isle of Pines dwindles into unimportance,
and the Cuban concession of this point is of lit
tie value. The significance of the concession,
however, is that the delegates TO the constitu-
tional convention make assertion OF their
power thus TO act for the Cuban people and an
admission Of the right OF the United States TO
prescribe the conditions which Cuba
become a free and sovereign nation. Having
gone far, it is confidently believed in Wash
ingtOn that in due time the delegates will go
the whole length and accept all the provisions
contained in the Platt amendment.
Senator PIatt. Of Connecticut. the author Of
this amendment returned Washington last
night from a visit to his home, and to-day
talked with a representative of The Tribune
nation from Cuba" said Mr.. Platt. LAS the
situation stands It is this way: The United
States Congress has declared in a formal man
what IL thinks should be the relations be-
tween this country and Cuba Our propositions
good faith. and with the interests Of Cuba as
we'll the interests Of country
guide. believe these propositions are regarded
by the great mass of people fair, just and
liberal. and l also believe that until they
accepted by the Cubans very few, If any Ameri-
cans will want authority withdrawn from
the island. I do not fear that the Cubans will
reject them after calm, mature and deliberate
consideration. We wait them patiently
TO do this"

BOTHA Rejects PEACE.
MR.. CHAMBERLAIN INFORMS HOUSE OF
COMMONS OF BOER LEADERS RE
PLY TO LORD KITCHENER.

London, March 19-Joseph Chamberlain. the
Colonial Secretary Informed the House of Com
mons to-day that General BOtha had rejected
the peace terms offered him.
General Botha Mr. Chamberlain said, had
conveyed the information in a letter TO General
Kitchener. in which he announced that he was
not disposed to recommend the terms of peace
General Kitchener was instructed offer him
to the earnest consideration Of his government.
General Botha added that his government and
its chief officers entirely agreed with his view.
Mr.. Chamberlain added:
Il propose to lay the papers connected with
the negotiations on the table tonight"
In course OF the discussion Of the composition
of the TransvaaI Concessions Commission Ar
thur Basil Markham CLberaD asserted that the
commission was made up of persons affiliated
with several great South African companies.
Mr.. Chamberlain replied that while he would
not be Influenced by South African capitalists,
he not to be precluded from using any man
who happened to be connected with some cap
italist in South Africa
The issuance OF Parliamentary papers on the
negotia tions between Lord Kitchener and Cen
eral Botha is delayed. General Botha's refusal
TO accept the peace terms offered him is COM
mented upon with an evident sense of relief
The idea that Lord Kitchener initiated the nego-
tiations, instead Of General Botha as had been
supposed, is unpalatable to the British press.
The Daily Mail" under the editorial caption
Our Rejected Suit" asks why the govern
ment instructed Lord Kitchener 10 sue for peace
after the murder of the peace ENJOYS. and con-
cludes follows:
Let the be pressed TO the utmost. and
let further reinforcements be prepared. for they
may be needed: but above all. let us have no
more negotiations

He contended that Section 351 of the Penal Code
under which Campbell arrested. provided a
penalty of two years in prison, but there was a
final clause this section, which read provided
that no other penalty has been fixed by any other
statute" Mr. Steinhardt contended that under the

Washington, March 19.-It said the
War Department to-day that no report has been
received concerning the action Of Major Smith
directing that the natives Of the island of Rom

a local matter. and the order relates only TO
this particular island and locality. There is no
intention. il is said of pursuing a system Of
concentration in the islands as a part Of the
suppression of the nsurreCtiOn.
