CIVIL ADMINISTRATION, CONFIN
ED LARGELY TO CITIES, TO BE
VESTED IN THE HEAD OF THE
TAFT COMMISSION.
Washington, June 7. Official here
accuse the Cuban delegation who vis
ited "Washing-ton in connection with the
Piatt amendment of betrayal of confi
dence. Some of the officials denounce
in strong language the duplicity of the
delegates in violating their pledge not
to use explanations made to them in
confidence. They are also denounced
for presenting to the convention false
statements of -Root's explanation.
What is regarded as the most flagrant
breach of faith is Senor Capote's action
in publishing a letter from Senator
Piatt giving the latter's views in re
gard to the amendment and which Ca
pote promised not to use. To insure
this understanding Secretary Koot
wrote on the face of the letter "Per
sonal and confidential."

Washington, June 7. The president
and cabinet had a long discussion at
the cabinet meeting today on the scope
of the civil government to be estab
lished in the Philippines and the situa
tion produced by the rejection of the
Cuban constitution. It is believed from
remarks made after the meeting that
the Cuban convention is not disposed
to accept the Piatt amendment liter
ally. The government must wait on ac
tion of the convention.
A communication has been received
from Gov. -Gen. "Wood regarding the
prespect for the unconditional accept
ance of the Piatt amendment, but its
contents were not made public. It can
be stated, however, that there is a
hopeful feeling in administration cir
cles that after the first soreness wears
off the convention will see the wisdom
of accepting the terms of the amend
ment. The answer to General Wood is
to be sent by cable and the language
of that communication was under dis
cussion today. Meantime the existing
status in Cuba is to be maintained.
No action looking to the calling of an
other convention if the present conven
tion should decline to accede to our
terms.
The program looking to the estab
lishment of civil government in the
shape of an order which is to be pro
mulgated shortly. It is said that there
is no definite conclusion as to whether
the powers of the civil administration
will be exercised under the general war
powers of the president or the author
ity vested in him by the Spoon-r
amendment . The main point is that
the civil administration which will be
confined largely to the municipalities
will be vested in the head of the Taft
commission and such other officials as
may be designated and they will ex
ercise their functions subject to the di
rect authority of the secretary of war
an raixvrta will be made. Civil
administration under military super
vision, such as is contemplated, is said
not to be anomalous and the civil gov

London, June 6. Af te-j a long and some
what embittered discussion of the policy
of the War Office in buying horses for us8
in South Africa, the House of Commons
to-night, by a vote of 159 to 60, voted the
um of 15,779,000 for transports and re
mounts.
Sir Blundell Maple, Conservative, as
serted that the British officers who had
bfpri sent to" Kunsarv and Austria had
purchased broken down animals at ex
travaeant crices. and' divided with thd
sellers the price cr'arged the British Gov.
eminent above the actual cost. He de
manded the appointment of a committed
of inquiry.
Lord S'nr.ley. Financial Secretary of th
War Office, said an inquiry would b
made into the matter, and he believed
that the accusations of corruption
brought against British officers would b6
disproved.
Mr. Brodriok. the War Secretary, said
the Yv7ar Office paid for horses in Eng
land 42. in Canada $30. and in Australia
trip United States and Hungary, frorn. 20
to 25.
Later in the discussion Mr. Brodrick
said a telegram had just reached him
from Lord Kitchener, announcing that
between 50,000 and 60,000 troops were now
suitably mounted. The War Secretary de
fended the good quality of the horses
bought abroad.
London, June 7. It is understood that
the charges made by Sir Blundell Ma
ple are of a very serious character. It
Is asserted that in one case an officer

In Hungary.
Dissatisfaction is said to have exist
ed in the colonies because the govern

Continent when colonial animals were
