to tlte United*Slates. It is so unsalis
Nirmrv iiwii n 11:1s inspired auger
anions ''1? President's advisers, ami
lias led to the taking of n tone much
li'ss conciliatory toward tho Cubans
than any that has hitherto been taken.
At the Cabinet meeting on I'riday it
was derided to reject uneqtiivocally
the action of Cuba on the IMatt Aniendineut.
Secretary Hoot was directed to
inform (General Wood of the Ptvsident's
decision.
The Cabinet held that the amendments
and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the Cuban
Convention upon the Amendment
1 amounted to a practical nioditication.
such as was beyond the power of this
(Government to accept. The message
of rejection sent to (General Wood advises
the Cubans in unqualilied ian|
guace that there Is no power resting
in the T'niteil States ("Government to
change the terms of the IMatt Amendment
and that this (Government insists
on the acceptance of the IMatt Amendment.
without change or qunlitication.
The three main points in which the
action of the Cuban Constitutional
Convention is regarded as unsatisfactory
relate. it is said. to
coaling stations, sanitation, and intervention.
The Cuban Convention took
from the coaling stations paragraph of
j the IMatt Amendment its obligatory
I character, and merely authorized the
1 Cuban (Government, in its judgment, to
| allow the United States to possess
] 'coaling or naval stations. The United
i States will insist on an absolute agreement
to grant these coaling stations.
With respect to sanitation, the (Tit
linns <U? not agree tu carry out plans
already devised. and in accepting the
I'latt Aniondnu'Pt modify Its provisions
so as to change them conshlcrnlily.
In tin* unit tor of intervention
the objection is tliat the Cubans have
so changed this vitally imp irtant part
of Hi" IMalt Amendment as to make
tin* right to intervene an ambiguous
and doubtful mat tor. whereas tin* United
States insists on a straight. tu: *
| equivoealde acknowledgement of its
right to intervene when in its judgment
intervention is neeessttry to assure Cui
ban independence or a stable govern'
inont.
The patience of the Administration
i Is exhausted and the policy of concilia!
tion and explanation seems to have
[ vanished. In surrounding the I'latt
Amendment with modilications*, and
J in adding clauses to it. the Cubans
I have given much offence; but more
I irritation is felt over their action in
| endeavoring to make their interviews
! with Secretary Root a part of a law
| adopted by the American Congress.
Something of this feeling was voiced
| by Genera) Grosvcnor, of Ohio, after
! the decision of the President became
I known. General Grosvcnor said, when
] asked if be thought the decision would
1 be likely to lie regarded as a surprise:
"A surprise to whom? Who imagined
that those fellows would be allowed
to sit in Congress down there
j in Culm and amend laws of the United
[States? Wo luivc stood all the nonsense
we are going t<> from them. The
sooner time ?i.i?. ? i: > -
!.-> hmiii>IIIU,>s :t11?i
attend to business the better it will lie
for them. for if Congress over ucts
another shot t ihctn, they won't yet
off so easily us they din before."
A siynitbaut remark was .also
droppt (1 by Senator I'latt. of Connecticut,
who. with Senator Spooner. has
been in conference with tlw? 1 'resident
over the situation in Cuba. lie raid
he 'toped the n ws pa tiers would stop
talkintr nboui tli?* "acceptance" of the
J'latt Anieni'tueiii by tlie Cubans, i'lie
Cubans eoultl neither accept iu>r reject
a law < f the United Slates.' H is tlie
pttrpo'e of the Administration to itnpress
upon the Cubans that the 1'latt
Amendment is law. ami that they have
no power to chantxe i;. They have

to convince 'hem that this is an error.

ARP AND VETERANS
Reunion at Memphis Was a Great
Gathering of Crave Men.
?
THE OLD SOLDIERS WERE HAPPY.
1 hey Alet and Talked About the Days
oi Forty V ears Ago, and Wept and
Laughed.
Forty years have passed sinee these
soldit r boys lirst shouldered arms and
htu ried to the front. No sueh array of
patriots were ever seen, for there was
not a tory among them nor a foreign
hireling, and even the northern-horn
, .v.?.v.ir. in ilit" souiii volunteered with
one aeeord and cast their lives and
property in the common peril of their
adopted state. To that class we owe all
the more honor for it was a great heart
struggle to sever the bonds that bourn!
them to their kindred and the place of
their birth. Forty years have not effaced
nor dimmed the memory of
those four long years trotn the minds
of the veterans who gathered at the
Memphis reunion. As time rolls on
they seem the more eager to congregate
and commune together; and happily,
there are none now to molest or make
them afraid.
Happily the soldiers of the blue and
the gray are becoming every year the
more considerate of the feeling and
principles of each other. The soldiers,
1 say those who fought against us?
for the bravest are the tenderest. It is
the politicians who saw the battle
from afar, who still refuse to give us
hack our llags and are still worrying
over the rebel brigadiers whom w?
sent to congress. Hut time is a good
doctor, and soft words take away
wrath.
That was a grand convocation that
jHiiiiufu iiu' precis ot .Memphis.
Hearts t eat rapidly and eyes wore
moist wi111 tears?
"Wliilo nn niory lingered o'er the ?.id
r< \ iew
Of joys that faded like the morning
dew."
That wr.s a beautiful prayer sent up
to heaven !>y our beloved grand chappain.

In iltli. I tell you my brethren there is;
nothing small or selfish or mean in the
hearts of our print b adi-rs. In war and
in peaee tl'.ey have been and are n ntlomen.
There was not a Negro or a
duke of Alva among them nor a heartless
destroyer of the innocent nor a
violator of Hi laws of kindness to
women and children. Our soldiers
fought a pood fight. on patriotic principles.
an-i it rejoices us that they have
bept the faith and are as true now to
the nation as they were then to tlio
principles for whidi they fought.
Those principles arc not dead; and we I
believe that if this republican powrn- I
mi nt is preserved from the domlna- J
tion of imperialism, with which it is I
threatened. It will be the conservative
spirit of the south that will do it. The
spirit of constitutional liberty is yet

boys at our Manual Labor school; but
now it is the boys who rule the teachers
and make demands, and the consequence
is our colleges have no discipline
and hazing seetns t he as popular
as ever. 1 thought that this hazing
business was a modern invention, but

warriors of their young men is to
husquenaw them in early manhood.
They are shut up in a dark leg house
for six weeks, and kept half st at veil

bark, which renders them raving
mad. They make tlie most dismal,
hellish cries and howling- ever heard.
When given a little meat it is mixed
wit it nasty, loathsome, filthy stuff.
After six week's they come nit as poor

Some of them die under this diabolical
treatment, and s y.ie young

That's it; that's where
hazing started, and West Point is
where it inalriulated and Nourished!
This insubordination of college boys

demoralized Oxford, and Tuscaloosa.
