CUBANS WEAKENING
Growing Sentiment In Favor or Ilalt
Amemlmuut It llnvlug Its lCObet
uu the ltmllcals
Ilavuuu March 22 An element of
doubt now exists as to what will be
the llnal attitude of the Cuban consti
tutional convention The preponder
ance of public opinion in favor of the
Plutt amendment In the last few days
Is having Its effect on the radical
members and General Sangullys press
utterances further tend to weaken the
strength of the radicals He says
A literal Interpretation of the Piatt
amendment might mean the loss of
Cuban Independence but the liberal
view which President McKlnley and
the convention would give would leave
nothing to be feared by the Cubans
I do not believe that by waiting wo
would get better terms from the next
congress Independence with some
restrictions Is preferable to a continu
ance of a military rule which would
surely follow a rejection of the Piatt
amendment If the Americans want
the Isle of Pines I am iu favor of giv
ing it to them I am also In favor of
establishing coaling stations on some
of the keys or at some of the small
ports The presence of the authority
of the United States would bo a guar
antee of our Independence so far as our
exterior safety is concerned and
would save us the expense of main
taining an army and a navy
