REBELS BURN BUILDINGS.
Report From Cuba Is Not Taken Sc
riouslY in Washington.

The legation at Havana has reported to
the State Department that 1t has received
from the Ponupo Manganese Company,
from Santiago. the following telegram:
Have just received telegram from very
reliable authority that rebels have burned
all buildings belonging to this company
at Ponupo inland mines. near La Maya.
These are not the properties protected by
the American marines. Damages at
present unknown"
While the note of Gen Estenoz to
American Consul Holiday at Santiago Is
not taken seriously here. it is entirely
improbable that the United States will
take any chances Of leaving foreign in
terests unguarded in Cuba. Estenoz in
his note threatened reprisals If the Cuban
troops should burn property and do other
damage The Cuban situation as a whole
was believed at the State Department to
be better. Next Saturday is the last day
OF the extension of amnesty to the rebels
by Gen. Monteagudo. and the movements
Of the Cuban general will be watched to
see what attitude he will then take
against those rebels who have not taken
advantage Of the grace given them to lay
down their arms.

WORK OF DRAWING UP
PLATFORM IS RESUMED
Subcommittee of Resolutions
Committee Continues

CHICAGO June M-The subcommit
tee of the committee on resolutions met
al 1870 O'Clock this morning and re-
sumed its work on the shaping of the
platform as if nothing had happened.
There was a noticeable absence of pro-
gressyes.
OF the three Roosevelt members of the
subcommittee not one was present and
it was not expected that any of them
except Gov Hadley of Missouri, would
be in attendance. Both Mr.. Rowell of
California and Mr.. Lewis of Pennsylvania
were understood to have cast their lots
with Col. Roosevelt, but Gov Hadley's
his colleagues that only other important
business would be allowed to keep him
away.
The subcommittee Immediately entered
upon the work of putting the platform
into shape. Owing to the fact that it
had scarcely settled down to business last
night when the announcement of the pro-
spective division of the convention caused
q hasty adjournment. the subordinate or
ganization found it necessary to begin at
the foundation today.
Task Difficult One.
The members had before them the
drafts of the three platforms submitted
by the Taft, Roosevelt and La Toilette
leaders, respectively. and there was an
announced determination to give careful
attention to the recommendations of all

such portions as might commend them

prepared for 1t report will be made to

GOV. WILSON IN NEW YORK.
Will Confer With Political Leaders
of Several States.

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Gov Woodrow
Wilson is in New York today for a series
of conferences with political leaders from
this and nearby states. His aim is to
forward his interests as a candidate for
the presidential nomination at the Balti-
more convention
Gov. Wilson arrived last night and his
first conference was with upstate demo-
cratic leaders. State Senator Franklin
d. Roosevelt and Thomas Mott Osborne
were with the governor soon after his
arrival, and 1t was said that several other
prominent democrats from up the state
were expected to call upon him later. by
invitation. Friends of the governor
thought 1t likely, too, that he would see

to support his candidacy. the scene around
the Congress Hotel was one of confusion.
The report was received with varying ef-
feet and given several interpretations.
Groups OF Roosevelt delegates gathered
to discuss 1t, many of them cheering the
colonel and declaring they would stand
by him to the end. and go with him
into any action he might recommend II
was said that LA delegates had "sisneo
up'' to go out Of the convention.
Others were inclined to believe that the
course OF the former President had made
1t easy for them to remain In the conven-
ton as regulars with an opportunity
to vote for third candidate IL they
chose.
The third or compromise candidate talk
was second in point OF interest to the
exciting developments In the Roosevelt
ranks, though the stanch Taft leaders
declared there would be no compromise
candidate.
