United States Will Not Belinguish Oub
Under Present Conditions ,
DEMAND "SUBSTANTIAL" AD9PTIO !
Convention's Garbled Amendment is Xa
Acceptable Substitute Conservative
to Dr o Recess , Hoping Finally for th
Adoption of the Original.
WASHINGTON , June 3. It is offl
daily stated that the United State
will remain" in control of Cuba uii
til the Platt amendment has bee )
"substantially adopted. " This wa
made known to General Wood las
Tuesday by Secretary Root , and hi
action has been approved by the prea
ident.
Secretary Root was with the presi
dent about an hour and a half dis
cussing with him the cablegram whicl
had been prepared to be sent to Gov
ernor General Wood at Havana , relat
ing to the action of this governmen
on the Cuban constitution. This mes
sage is long and will be forwardec
to General Wood with the idea of hav
ing him communicate It to the consti
tutional convention. It will not be
made public at this time and probablj
not until the convention takes action
HAVANA , June 3. The press de
plores the misunderstanding with the
Washington government , but generally
admits the possibility of a wrong con
struction being put upon the amend
ment by the explanations and inter
pretations , and that it will be best
for the convention to take up the ques
tion immediately and accept the
amendment as passed by congress.
La Lucha says that 85 per cent of
the people favor this , but the dele
gates are at a loss what to do. Some
claim the United States is not acting
in good faith , as it was most improb
able that the Washington officials did
not know what the convention was
doing and what was the nature of the
report to be submitted. They say
that a majority of the committee on
relations told them that the amend
ment as accepted would be satisfactory
to the United States and that they
bad the assurance of General Wood
and Secretary Root to this effect The
members of the committee on relations
will say nothing in regard to this
point , other than they , too , thought
It would be satisfactory.
Secret ressions and absent stenog
raphers make it impossible for even
the delegates themselves to set things
aright Regarding the controversy
which will surely arise later as to
who is responsible , the convention will
place the responsibility upon the com
mittee" , and they , it is said , will blame
General Wood and Secretary Root.
An effort is being made tonight by
some of the conservatives to avoid this
crisis by asking the convention to ad
journ for a month , in the meanwhile
having the municipalities petition the
convention to pass the original amend
ment. Several municipalities have al
ready taken that action and it is
thought others will fall into line.
In the municipal election the na
tionalists claim the election of Senor
Qener , their candidate for mayor , and
a majority of the council.
CAPTAIN HOWGATE DEAD.
Former Officer , Fourteen Tears in Hiding ,
Expires Suddenly.
WASHINGTON , June 3. Captain

afficer in the United States army , died

hemorrhage at his home in this city.

Captain Howgate had a singular and
2ventful life. While a trusted official
Df the signal service he was charged
with appropriating a large amount of
government funds and placed under ar
rest. His escape and flight were at
tended with many dramatic features ,
tor by a ruse he got away from a gov
ernment officer having him in charge
while the latter supposed his prisoner
c/as taking a bath. For years he re
mained in hiding , and not until four-
ieen years after his escape was he lo
cated by secret service detectives as
proprietors of an obscure bookstore
: n New York.

The officers of the Northwest

have made a discovery which they
think will have much weight In the
selection of the site for the Louisiana.

Globe-Democrat. They say the homo
place of Gen. William H. Clarke , gov
ernor of the territory of Missouri , la
located on Goodfellow avenue , la
northwest St. Louis , and covers part
of the vast property on which the as
sociation has obtained options for the
benefit of the directors of the World's
Fair. Secretary E. T. Grethcr , Presi
dent Lowla E. Snow , Treasurer J. M.
Williams and others have been visit
ing the different property owners for
the past two weeks , spending- hours
dally in Interviewing the oldest in
habitants and looking over old muni
cipal documents In an effort to get his
torical data. It was while on these
expeditions that they gathered data
which they assert shows conclusively
that on the Identical spot where now
stands the Goodfellow mansion , Good-

'COMMUNITY OF INTEREST. "
omo of the Effects of the Great Kail-
road Changes Which Arc Occurring.
"Community of Interest" seems to bo
he watchword among the great rail-
oad corporations , nowadays , and cer-
ain persons who are apt to decide
pen topics of general Interest , especi-
lly new ones , without thinking upon
he facts , have supposed that this
[ leant an arrangement of interest only
o the railway companies participating
a the deals , traffic arrangements ,
2ases , etc. , which show in the stock
ransactions and engage the thought
nd ability of traffic and passenger
gents. It is undoubtedly the financial
nterest of the corporations which
aoves their officers to enter into con-
racts , but the consideration of this
Dpic necessarily includes that of the
onvenience , comfort and attractions
rhich they can offer to their patrons.
t competition be less intense , and rate
rars be relegated to the dead past ,
; means that more attention will be
aid to those inducements which will
ring business to up-to-date lines of
ransportation.
An instance of the early profit of the
ublic is most worthy of mention. Un-
er the plan of arrangements known.
s "Community of Interest" very close
alations have been established by the
[ issouri Pacific System with the Den-
er and Rio Grande railway , the Rio
rande Western Railway and the
outhern Pacific Railway and other
nes diverging from junction points.

These places are of great interest to
