Afternoon.
RESULT OF THE MEETING
President McKiniey. Secietnry Root,
Senator Plntt nnd Senator Spoou
er Spend nn Hour nnd n Hnlf Con
sideilng the Cubnn Situation, but
Reach No Deteiminntou nt the
Time of 'Adjoin ument Secietnry
Root Hns Been Fully Advised by
Governor Geneinl Wood Regarding
Events in Cubn Various Problems
That Confiont the Goveinment.
Il.v l. lii.iti- Hup (i tin riie .r-rrial..l l"ie-t-
Washington, May SO. An Impnttnnt
conreicnce on Cuban lel.itlons look
place at the white house thus after
noon. Theic weie piesenl with Piesl
dent McKiniey, Secretary P.oot, Sen
ator O. II. Piatt, ehali man of the sen
ate (ommlttee on iclatlnu.s with Cuba,
and Senator Spnoner. of Wisconsin. For
mote than an hour and a half the situ
ation In Cuba wa's consideied. and
when tlie (onfetence bioke up. no de
tPimlnaliou had been leached. It is
expected (hat the whole matter will be
bl ought befote the cabinet toinonow,
and possibly will be further discussed
with those who have bad much to do
with shaping Cuban telallons thus far.
Secietniy Hoot has been fully ad
vised by Governor (ieueial Wood te
g.iiding the piogiess of events in Cuba
and h.is been Infoimed of the action of
tlie convention In Its successive stages,
together witli the Html action of the
convention In adopting the Piatt
amendment ami the interpietation
placed upon It by the ((invention, as
well as the Intel pi elation of the inter
views between the piesident and sec
ietniy of war. He was thus able to In
form the piesident fully of the dell
nlte tesiilts of the convention In adopt
ing the Piatt amendment as amended
or Intel pi eted by the delegates. This
infoi matinn was tin- basis of tlie dis
cussion during the eonteience today.
The piesident and bis advlsms must
deteimlne whether the. Plait amend
ment has been substantially adopted
b.v the convention. ThKs is pielimiuaiy
to the withdiawal ol the l'nited Slates
aiithoiliy and forces fiom the Island
of Cuba. If It should be found that
tlie Intel pietatiou of the convention Is
not s-atlsiactorv to this govei ument.
iltllte a ilitlicult ptoblem aiises, as It
seems to be the Intention of the
Cubans lo pi in. cud to loim a govern
ment anil that goveinment must be
lecognlzcd or l ejected bv the piesi
dent, as he has full power to deter
mine whether the act of congiess has
been complied with by the t (invention.
Another Problem.
Another piobletn which has been dis
cussed b.v those Interested in Cuban
all'alrs i elates to what would Inllovv
should the ti'wv ruh.ni government be
lecngnlzed. The Cuban government. It
is asseited. will be for some time with
out the inuchlneiy to execute its own
laws and put in opeiutlon lis own
edicts. It Is held b.v some lawyeis
that the moment the Cuban govern
ment Is tecogni.e.l the nuthoilty of the
l'nited States i eases nnd theic is some
question as lo who would be responsi
ble for the pieservatlou of law and
in dei as the m-w goveinment would
have no tioops ami no police Knee, and
would be piactically powetless. should
lbete be anv opposition to its deuces
and or.leis. The question whether nul
led Stales toices would be wan anted
in upholding tlie government In exe
cuting Its oitlt'is bus been raised also,
wheth'.'l' Hie piesident of the Fulled
States would be nutlnii lcil as i uin
