Later I l oir boat was found drifting

ITaronn, Cuba.?The Cuban Constitutional
Convention has accepted the
Piatt Amendment by a vote of 10 to
11. The resolution to accept was carried
without discussion.
Immediately after the opening of
the session Senors Tamayo, Ltluendas

of the Committee on Relations, summitted
as n substitute for the Committer's

that it be accepted and mnde

TTnshington. D. C.?Tho newn of tho
adoption of the Piatt Amendment by
tho Cuban Constitutional Convention
was received with genuln gratification
here. Now that the Cubans have
demonstrated their faith in tho United
States, it is expected that a fairly
speedy evaluation of the Island will
follow, contingent only upon the establishment
of a r.tnhle government in
the island. An effective police fcrc?
and otlior measurer: neccsrary to tho
preservation cf good crder and sanitation
are considered as essential prerequisites
in tho formation cf the new
government.
The riero physical question of the
withdrawal of tho American military
from the irlnrd is an easy cnc and
ran he accomplished without much delay.
One cabinet office**, speaking cf
t ie matter, exprorscd the opinion that
if the ether requirements are met our
withdrawal must lie accomplished during
tho summer so that Cuban independence
might bo a reality by nest
autumn.
Ceueral T7oirt has oncinll.7 communicated
to tho War Department the
fact that tho Amendment has been
