CUBA WILL WAIT.
No Disposition to Hurry Shown by

Havana, May 9.-The disposition TO

coupled with the fact that the senate

no indication of reporting the coaling

February Is between President ROose-
Velt ana PRESIDENT Palma, is causing in
creaslng doubt as to whether all or any
OF the matters will be disposed of before
the close of the present session Of cor
gress. Congress is likely to adjourn
within six weeks The next session
VIII begin in November simultaneously
with the special reciprocity session Of
the United States congress. President
PdlIna IS anxious TO conclude all treat
les as early as possible, but he takes
occasion to consult with senators and
representatives at all stages, with the
result that numerous objections and
pretexts for delay are made. No real
questlon Is pending IN connection with
eltner or the treaties The placing OF
the Platt amendment into the form of a
treaty IS Cubas own proposition, made
with the purpose of taking the Plat
requirements out of the constitution and
out OF politics. The treaty conceding the
Isle OF Pines to Cuba causes no obiee-
tlon mere The only treaty in which
there IS room for discussion is that for
carrying out the agreement of the presi-
dents, referring to the leasing Of coal
ing and naval stations, which is strictly
IN accordance with the Platt amend
ment.
N~c---~ SNAoCA1S WHO ldNOI Q6laX mold
that Cuba is not bound to yield the
concessions required by the Platx
amendment unless the United States
grants reciprocity. This contention is
based upon the allegation that Presi-
dent Mckinley definitely promised re-
ciprocity- 1t is also held that since the
United States IS retarding reciprocity.
Cuba has equal reason to retard other
matters Others assume that the
amount Of lands described in the naval
and cOaling agreement is unwarranted-
~ large. The leaders generally, al
though disincined to discuss the mat
ter. appear to agree that there is no
necessity for haste: that whatever
Cuba gains will be through a waiting
policy. Some senators and representa-
tives who. as members of the constitu-
tional convention opposed the Platt
amendment, say it would be inconsist-
ent to vote for the amendment now
Another potent reason for delay is
found in the fact that the elections for
half of the members of congress and
al municipal officers are to be held in
December and politicians are not in
clined to speak in favor of carrying
out the provisions Of the Platt amend
ment during the campaign, and espe-
cially as it is anticipated that the

Judge A. l. Redden, Miss Morrison s

rehearing in the supreme court, and in
view of the fact that the first appeal
resulted in a reversal he hopes to get a
chance to argue the present appeal
again The court, however, was un-
animous in its decision today.
The first time Miss Morrison was
tried the jury disagreed; at the second
trial she was convicted of manslaugh-
ter and her sentence was i've years in
the penitentiary. The case was ap-
pealed and reversed by the supreme
court, and she was again tried on the
charge of murder in the first degree,
although her attorneys contended that
the trial should be for manslaughter,
as that was the degree in which she
was convicted in the trial from which
an appeal was taken. The third trial
resulted in a conviction of murder and
Miss Morrison was sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary. Another ap-
peal was taken, and it is that one
which was decided today, the supreme
court affirming the judgment of the
lower court.
The chief grounds Of appeal were
that the trial judge was prejudiced
against the defendant, that members of
the jury had expressed an opinion in
the case. and that the third trial
should have been for nansiaughter in
stead of murder in the first degree. The
supreme court decided that while the
trial judge may have expressed an
opinion it was not shown that his rul-
ings were preJudicial to the defendant;
that the opinion expressed by a jury
man was that Miss Morrison killed
Clara Wiley Castle but was not on the
question of whether the killing was
justified; and that it was right to try
the case the third time upon the orig
inal charge, as long as a new trial was
