she let it pass for the time, content

departments and will doubtless be laid
before the president at an early date.
II is the loan of $50, 000, 900 which
Cuba proposes to negotiate. By n dis
tinct and unequivocal provision of the
Platt amendment Cuba is prohi bited
to contract or assume any public
debt, to pay the interest upon which,
provisions for the ultimate discharge
of which. the ordinary revenues of the
island, after defraying the current ex
penses of the government, shall be in
adequate. " While, from the stand
point of the United States the Platt
amendment has been made part of
the Cuban constitution there have al
ready been murmurs against such an
