ROOT'8 8ECOND 8HARP NOTE.
Will Probsbly Have the Desired Effect on
llsvsns.
t
New York, Juno -13. A special to
Mie Tribune from Washington says:
Lato advices from General Wood
indicato that two or thrco members
of tho constitutional convention, who
nt first wcro most active and out
spoken in their hostility to tho Piatt
Jaw, aro now about to align them
selves with tho suDDortersof that law.
und it is strongly intimated as prob
ablo that if a linal vote is reached in
tho convention this week the Piatt
law without modification or qitaliflpa
tion wjll bo incorporated into the
constitution of Cuba. Tho sharp
bote, tho bccoihI on tho subject sent
ny Becrctary Hoot to tho convention
through General Wood, is believed
to have had tho desired inilucnco at
Havana. In this noto tho secretary
of war sets forth plainly nnd unequiv
ocally tho attltudo of this govern
ment as firm and unyielding.
This noto apparently has nmdo it
plain to tho leaders of tho Radical
party that in tho end they would
sillier in power and prcstigo by being
opposed as tho real and only obstruc
tionists of Uuimn independence. It
is said that Geuoral Banguilly, whoso
incendiary messago to his constitu
ents on tho occason of tho adoption
by tho convention of the Piatt law in
modified form is generally regarded
on tho island of no importance, is
about tho only radical who is still
holding out uncompromisingly
against acceptance. It is not ex
pected tli:t ut its meeting the cabinet
will make any further announcement
lnt respect to Culm, nor is it likely
that any news will bo kIvcii out con
cerning its deliberations on that sub
ject.
It is more than likely that in view
of tho changing mood among the
constitution makers at Havana the
cabinet will discuss tlio form and
date of promulgation of tho olcetoral
law for tho first gonoral election, and
the organization and equipment ol
tho Cuban republic. It is known
that both Secretary Root and Attor
ney General Knox havo been giving
this phase of the subject considerable
attention in detail in tho lust few
days, and before tho secretary of war
loftfWushington for tho Buffalo ex
position Jie and tho attorney gcnoral
coitj-rredionl this , matter, at ,tKere
quAMf tKo'ixVsidentrHt'14'
Bertoro tho convention at Havana
manifested a disposition to trifle with
tho Piatt law it had been hoped in
Washington official circles that the
Cubans would bo ready to hold their
first general election by tho last of
October or tho first of Novembor next.
If tho convention conforms to tho
Piatt law within tho next two or
threo weeks, it is considered probablo
tliat tlio tcnativo plun can bo carried
out by tho original date. If this
should bo done, it is loievod that tho
president, in compliance with tho
Piatt law, would bo ablo to withdraw
all American troops from tho island
soon auer tuo ueginning pi tlio new
year, nnd that by next spring tho
Cuban government will bo wholly In
tho hands of tho Cubans. In tho
mrantimo, a joint commission, repre
senting tho two countries, could bo
formulating some scheme of reciproci
ty, on which congress could act, and
thus Cuban serious economic prob
lems would be far ndavneed toward
solution about tho timo tho island at
tained indepoiulonco and sovereignty.

THE FA8TEST BATTLESHIP.
Iltlnoli Beats the Record for Vesse's of Iter
Class.
Boston, Juno 14. With tho proud
distinction of being tho fastest battle
ship in America, and tho speediest of
her class in tho world, tho new sen
fighter Illinois camo to anchor in
President's Roads tonight niter a
most successful trial. Over tho
courso from Capo Ann to Capo Por
poiso nnd return, n distance- of CO
nautical miles, she meed today under
tho watchful eyes of United States
naval representatives, nnd established
a now record by maintaining an aver
ago speed of 17.31 knots for four con
secutive hours. Not only did sho
demonstrate that sho was faster than
nny warship in her class of her size
alloat, but sho proved her ability to
turn upon an cnomy with extraordi
nary quickness by describing n com
ploto eirclo within 300 yards, or little
more than twice her length, In three
minutes and lOseconds, whilo plough
ing through tlio sen nt full Bpeed.
Steadiness and rcsorvo power clinr
netori7cd tho performance of tho ship
throughout the cntiro test. Tho
work of hnr engines was Binooth and
oven, and tho records of the day
showed but one-tenth of a knot differ
eneo is speed betweon tho northern
run and tho return run. Tho ma
chinery easily met every requirement,
nnd not an accident of any kind
marred tho buccchs of tho day. Rear
Admiral Sampson, who was on board
unollloinlly, and Rear Admiral
Evans, who acted us president of the
trial board, as well , as tho other
naval ollkors who participated in her
trial, wero thoroughly pleased with
tho new champion, and us she steamed
haok to her anchorage with a broom
nt hor masthead, the ofllolals of tho
Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany, whoso three years of labor had
suoli a happy climax, wcro enthusi
ast icallv congratulated,
Tho day could not havo been mora
perfect for 11 trial of 11 battlo ship.
Hardly a breath of air milled tho
water ns tho vossol steamed out of
Boston harbor, Tho Illinois was
hardly a thing of beauty us sho laid
her courso for Capo Ann, btit the
white wave turned up at hor bow gave
those on board tho impression that,

ACCEPTED BY CUBA.
The Piatt Amendment Is Now a Part of the
Constitution.
Havana, Juno 13. The Cuban con
stitutional convention y oat onlay ac
cepted tho Piatt amendment by a
vote of 10 to 11. Tho resolution to
adopt was carried without discussion.
Immediately after the opening of
tho session, 11 majority of the com
mittee 011 relations, submitted, as
a substitute for tho committee's for
mer report, tho Plntt amendment as
passed by congress, recommending
that it bo Hindu an appendix to the
constitution. The conveiitnii will
now appoint a committee to draw up
the electoral law.
Withdrawal of Troops.
Washington, Juno 11. Tho uows
of tlio adoption of tho Piatt amend
mout by tho Cuban coiiHtitutoual
convention wiih received with general
gratification here, Tho administration
oflicials nil along havo felt confident
that, its ratillcatnu would bo accom
plished when the Cubans realized
that this government was firm in its
attitude rcgardug tho amendment,
and that its acceptance would bo
necessary beforo tho United States
would consent to withdraw its super
vision from tho island. Now that tho
Cubans have demonstrated their good
faith In tho United States, it is ex
pected that a fairly speedy evacua
tion of tho island will fid low, con
tingent only upon the establishment
of u stable government in the Island.
Work on Naval Station.
Tacoma, Juno 13, Tho transport
Rosccrans and tho revenue cutter
Hear were towed to tho Puget sound
naval station, Bremerton, yesterday.
Tho authorities expect that work on
the vessel will proceed no faster than
it would at Feattlo or Taoomn, Inas
much as tho machinists and boiler
makers aro expected to refuse to work.
A delegate from tho unions is visiting
the naval station, and will endeavor
to persuade tho men to refuse to
work on either vessel.
