CUBA AND PHILIPPINES
DISCUSSED BY CABINET.
WILL ULTIMATELY ACCEPT
PLATT AMENDMENT.
THE CIVIL GOVERNMENT PLAN
FOR THE PHILIPPINES WILL BE
UNDER DIRECT SUPERVISION
OF SECRETARY ROOT.

WASHINGTON, June THE cabinet
was in session over two hours to-day
discussing the Cuban and Philippine
situations A communication has been
received from Governor General Wood
regarding the prospect for the uncondi-
tional acceptance of the Plat amend
ment, but its contents are not made
public. 1t can be stated, however, that
there is hopeful feeling in admins
tration circles that after the first sore
ness wears off, the convention will see
the wisdom of adopting the terms of
the amendment. The answer to Gen.
Wood is to be sent, and the language Of
that communication was under discus
sion to-day. Meantime the existing
status in Cuba is to be maintained. No
action looking to the calling of an
other convention Is in contemplation
if the present convention should decide
to accede to our terms.
The programme looking to the estab-
lishment of civil government in the
Philippines is being formulated in the
shape of an order which is to be pro-
mulgated shortly. 1t is said that there
is no definite conclusion as to whether
the powers of the civil administration
will be exercised under the general war
powers of the President or the author
ity vested in him by the Spooner
amendment. That, however, is consid-
cred a matter of detail. The main point
is that the civil administration, which
will be confined largely to the munich
palites. will be vested In the head of
the Taft commission and such other Of
ficials as may be designated, and that
they will exercise their functions SUBJ
ject to the direct authority of the Sec
rotary of War, to whom all reports will
be made. Civil administration under
military supervision, such as is eontem-
plated, is said not to be anomalous
and the civil government in New Mex
leo and the Southern States during the
early stages of the reconstruction
period, are pointed out as being sub
stantially analogous to what is pro-
posed in the Philippines

exposure of person and the selling Of
intoxicating beverages by women, as
is dune in the German village.
The Mayor agreed to investigate the

ranted by law.
At 10 o'clock large crowd assembled
in the probate judges Office to hear the

this they were disappointed.
The committee that called upon the

1T was the general opinion that the
Mayor will not act in the matter, and
in case of his refusal the offending par

are to be arrested and taken before a

Indignation among church people is
at fever heat, and there is much talk

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June THE
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel

following officers:
President, T. j. Shaffer, Pittsburg.

Trustees, ]. H. Morgan Cambridge,
Ohio; Elias Jenkins, Youngstown, Ohio;
John E. Taylor, Pittsburg.
National Organizer, John Pierce,
Pttsburg.
The next convention will be held
in wheeling.
The most important work of the con-
vention Is considered to be the adop-
ton Of the so-called continuous scale
plan. 1t is really not a continuous
scale, but continuation of the present
method of annual wage settlement with
some amendments. The most import
ant of these is the continuous opera
ing considered in conference, and the
extension of time within which an
agreement must be arrived at. There
is no provision for the continuance
from year to year of such portions OF
the scale as may be satisfactory to both
parties. Neither is there any provls-
ion for dating back any increase in
wages to an earlier date. No refer
ence is made to compulsory arbitration
but "conciliator" is provided for.
The detailed plan of annual wage set
element adopted by the convention is
as follows:
The annual convention will be held
in April when the whole scale will be
revised as usual. The scale will be
given to the manufacturers on May Is.
The period for conference negotiation
shall expire June Is. If no agreement
is reached by that date, conciliator
shall be called into the conference. He
shall decide contested points, but his
decisions shall not be final or binding.
If no agreement is reached by July Is,
all association mills are to close. The
limit of settlement now in force is
July 1st, at which time if no decision is
reached, the men walk out. The plan
extends the period of conference from
three to eight weeks.

HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT
In Mrs. Mckinley's ConditiOn-Is
Resting Comfortably.

In Mrs. Mckinley's ConditiOn-Is
Resting Comfortably.
WASHINGTON, June DIR. Rixey
at 1920 o'clock tonight, made this
statement as he left the White House:
Mrs. Mckinley is now resting COM
fortably. Her condition shows no
change, as compared with the situation
announced in this mornings bulletin.
"She has not lost any ground, nor,
on the other hand, has there been any
perceptible improvement She Is just
the same as when we saw her this
morning"
DR.. Rixey, when asked regarding the
result of the microscopic examination
of the patients blood, said he had moth
ing to say on the subject, and that if
anything was given out it would be
after consultation of the three ply
sicians. He said there had been no un-
favorable developments during the day
Some apprehension had been felt as to
the possible unfavorable effect of the
warm weather, but a heavy rain fell
to-day and brought lower temperature.
and much satisfaction was expressed
at the White House at the temporary
relief. Mrs. Mckinley ordinarily suf-
fers little from the heat of the summer
at Washington, but the possible effect
of it at this time, in view of her low
vitality and the necessity for guarding
against anything in the nature of a
sinking spell or drain upon her
strength, caused some anxiety.
The complaint from which Mrs. Nc
Kinley suffered in San Francisco is not
entirely checked, but it is said to be
under control now. Despite some re-
ports to the contrary it is stated en-
phatically at the White House that Mrs.
Mckinley has not grown any worse
The President saw no callers this
evening. At O'Clock this afternoon he
went out unaccompanied on the Gus
tomary drive, but returned very sud-
denly after being out less than twenty
minutes.
DR.. Rixey says Mrs. McKinley's abil-
ity to maintain her condition under the
weather conditions in Washington is in
her favor
