It appears that the first draft of the amendment as tnterpreted by the majority of the commit tee on relations with the United States was submitted to General Wood and by him sent to Washington. This draft was approved by Secretary Root and bis approval was made known to the Cuban convention. When the watter came up for discusaion, bowever, it was found that there were a number of delegates whose votes could only be obtained by the extended alterations, amendments and interpretations which | finally were adopted by the convention and vejected by Secretary Root. It is stated oficially that the people of | Cuba believed at first that the Platt amend- ment had been adopted and that they were satisfied. Such was the bellef of the people of the United States until the draft of the adopted amendment was received here. The bellef is expressed in official eircles Yere that the Cuban people as a whole are perfectly satisfiod with the Platt amend- ment and that it will finally be adopted. » Bxtra Sexslon Necessary. The cabinet today unanimously decided that existing conditions do not warrant calling of an extra session of congress. Sec- retary Root and Attorney General Knox both rendercd legal opinions to the eftect that the authority to govern the Philip- pines vested in the president by the Spooner amendment was ample. The re- ports were concurred in by all the mem- bers of tho cabinet. The decision of the cabinet was announced after the meeting 1n the follcwing statement, {ssued by Secre- tary Cortelyou: “The president has determined that ex- isting conditions do not require or warrant calling congrese together during the present summer or making any change in the policy hitherto pursued and announced in regard to the Philippine Islands.” It can be positiyely stated that the Ding- ley rates upon goods from the Philippines enteriug the United States will remain in torce as heretofore. The president will put futo effect such changes in the tarift dutles on goods going Into the Philippines as the Taft commission may recommend. The es- of clvil government in the © can proceed without interrup- tion as soon as the military authorities con- sider the time ripe for its establishment. The supreme court decision as viewed by the administration settles, first that the Foraker act is coustitutional, second that the collection of dutles on Porto Rico im- ports between the time of the cession of the island of Porto Rico and the passage of the Foraker act was illegal and must be refunded. These are held to be the main essential points of the declslons. Nothing in them 1s construed to apply to' the tariff situa- tlon, as between the United States and the Philippines, The conclusions of the cabi- net are not based on any knowledge as to the prospective Philippine decision of the supreme court, though it is declared there 1s littfe apprehension as to the findings of that declsion. If the present system is upset in that decision, which it not likely, there 18 littlo llkelihood of difficulty in col- lecting the amounts in the meantime under protest.

LONDON, June 4.~The War office tonight published the following from Lord Kiteh- eucr, dated Pretoria, June 4 “Jamestown (Cape Colony) to Kritzinger's command on the morning of June 2, after four hours' fighting. The town guard aud local volunteers were over- powered before Gur pursuing columus could come up. Our casualties were three killed The Boer loss Is sald to The stores wero looted, but the garrison was released. Have placed General French in charge of the operations in Cape Colony."” Lord Kitchener's dispatch from Pretoria, dated June 4, says “Dixon's report (of the fighting at Viak- fonteln, forty miles from Johaunesburg, May 20) just received. On our side 1,450 men with seven guns were eugaged. The force was returning to camp at Viak- fontein when the enemy, under cover of a veldt, fired, rushed the rear guard, con sisting of two guns of the Twenty-eightk battery and 330 men of the Derbyshires and the Yeomanry. They temporarily captured two guns. When the remainder of the force came into action the Boers were driven over and the guns recaptured. Our casualties were six officers and fifty- one men killed, six officers and 115 mer wounded and one officer and seven men missing. One officer and four men have sinco dled of wounds. Forty-one Boers were killed on the ground. The further Boer casualties are not known. Relnforce- ments are being sent.” Detalls recelved regarding the fighting at Viakfontein show that it was one of t most desperate engagements of the wai How It Occurred. General Dixon's column was traversing the district establishing posts, when 1t was attacked by 1,200 Boers, under Commander Kemp. The Boers were so close that fifty British fell at the first volley. The Yeo- manry held the position, protecting the guns until they were nearly decimated and then, finding it {mpossible to save the guns, the artillerymen shat the gun horses to pre- vent the Boers moving the guns. The column quickly recovered from the shock of the unexpected attack. The Derby- shires charged with bayonets and after a short, desperate fight drove off the Boers and recovered the guns. The Derbyshires and Yeomanry both lost heavily. It is asserted that while the Boers held temporary possession of the guns, they shot two artillerymen in cold blood for refus- ing to work them against their own com- rades. The appointment of General French, who has been recruiting his health in Cape- town, to command the operatious in Cape Colony, indicates that Lord Kitchener at- taches considerable importance to the in- vasion. The recrudescence of such fighting brings further demands for the sending out of reinforcements. The surrender of James- surrendered have been greator. { town is regarded as a disagreeable incident because it has provided Commandant Kritz- Inger with a fresh supply of the sinews of war. MRS.
