WASHINGTON. April 4.-The Post to-
morrow will say: Senator Platt. of Con-
necticut. the chairman OF the Senate COM
mittee on Cuba, yesterday received two
notifications. Ore. from the Democratic
side. was to the effect that the minority
proposed TO fight reciprocity at every stage
and had formed a compact organization
for that purpose. The other came from A
prominent Republican, who stated that. at
the proper time. he would offer an amend
ment to the bill declaring that reciprocity
should be contingent upon the agreement
by the Cuban government 10 a treaty with
the United States embodying the text of
the Platt amendment. the senator putting
his statement on the ground that he feared
the Cubans. after they had formed a gov
eminent would attempt 10 nullify the
P1att amendment. Both notifications were
the beginning OF the fight that is TO be
made In the Senate against the enactment
of the measure. Senator Platt suggested
that II reciprocity was not to be enjoyed
by Cuba until a treaty had been signed and
ratified il would postpone until next winter
the promised relief for the sland."
