TrIEIR CONVENTION MUST ACT.
Required to Define Relations Between
The Island and The United Stales—
Action on Platt Ainenerneut is Not
Final.
Washington, D. C., Special.—Sena
tors Proctor and Cockrell and Repre
sentative Hitt called at the War De
partment Saturday morning and had a
long conference with the Secretary ol
War in regard to the poHlticaP situa
ticn in None of them consider
the vote in the Cuban conveni.’i’on yes
terday as a final rejection of the Platt
amendment. Senator Cockrell, who
has just returned fiom Havana, re
marked that the resolution expressing
the opinion that the convention is op
posed to the amendment does not air
tor the situation at all and i-s mo
stronger than the ether resolution
adopted by the conversion.
War Department officials are of the
opinion that the resolution was adopt
ed merely to indicate to the people of
Cuba that the convention did not
want to adopt the Platt amendment
and give color to a claim thaf the
amendment was forced upon them in
case they should finally adopt It. It
is certain that the President consid
ers that unless the convention, com
pletes the work for which it was call
ed he lias the power to order General
W-cod to dissolve the body and call an
eIQ.-.ioa for smother convention.
In Phis connection it is not believed
that the. rejection of the Platt amend
ment would be sufficient cause for
such action. The -instructions to the
convention were that it should define
the relations which are to exist be
tween the United States and Cuba. It
was not provid-ed that the coavealton ;
ahiould adopt the Platt amendment,;
but that I'be relc.Vicns with, the United
States should be defined. The a-io.i
--t-r- oy Cff&gffeso ur thw'piatt amend
ment presented to the Cubans what
the Uniced Slates' a sa.is
factory arrangement and authorized
the President to approve any actiox
c-f the Cuban convention which was
substantially the same as the Platt
amendment:-
Prerid'ont McKinley and Secretary
Root h-o-ld that the Preei-dcr.it is not
authorized to approve on behalf of the
United States amy action cf the con
verb-ion not substantially the same,
and the Prcsider-t is therefore de
tee-mined act to discuss wto-h any com
mission from the convention the ques
tion of relations except, on 'the basis
of the Pla-tit amendment. It is de
clared by thosa close to the President,
moreover, that he is not inclined to
favor 'the serdir-g c.t a commission to
Washington because of Ks reflection
upon General Wood.
The attacks upon General Wood bj
the Havana press have served to
strengthen his support by President
McKinley and Secretary Root. Should
a commission come from Havana the
President will receive the members.
Ho villi net, however, consider any
compromise prepositions ar.d will re
■fer the commission to General Wood
who has been anluorized to speak foi
the President.

RIPLEY ON STAND,
%
Gives His Evidence in the Gaeba
Murder Case.
—— •-
TELLS WHAT TAYL',B SAID TO HIM
Witness Explains What lie Tried to
M ks Plain to Ex-Governor Brad
ley and Judge Yost.
Frarkfort, Ky., Special.—The trial cd
Garnett'Ripley, charged with complic
ity in the assasinatlon of Wm. Gaeb i,
was resumed. Put upon the witness
stand, Ripley did not deny that he
made the statements attributed to him
by ex-Governor Bradley and Judge VV.
H. Ytost, concerning ex-Governor Tay
lor’s remarks to him, but said that
while he thought that they were sub
stantially correct in their evidenc" 1 ,
they had misunderstood him, cr he had
failed to convey the proper impression
on them at the time. The cross-exam -
ination was net completed and Ripley
Rvill take the stand again to-morrow.
s On direct examination Ripley stat'd
that he had been talking with the boys
in his neighborhood for several years
about getting up a company of cavalry
He came to Frankfort, first on Janua y
16, the day of the Colson Scott trage
dy, selecting this day in order to see
Wm. J. Bryan, who was to be banquet
ed here that night. He had never
known Governor Taylor till that day
and never saw him but once after that.
January 23. Taylor gave him the or
der on January 16 for the o.ganization
of his company, and on January 23
Pipley came here and secured equip
m.ents for it. This was the day on
which he had the conversation wi ll
Taylor and his version of it, which
- xiies materially from that stated oy
Messrs. Bradley and Yost, were as fol
lows:
"I went into the Governor's office and
fund Governor Taylor looking very
badly. I told him I was sorry to see
?|.m looking badly, to which he replied
i v . substance: ‘ln these horrible times
•Anybody would look badly. Some irre
sponv hie fool or crank is likely to kill
-jr .iau '.ttSrd, -% atii. -ciai-se a ta:
around here in which there will be
many lives sacrificed.’
“Then I told him I d'd net think Ill’s
ould occur and went on talking to him
about my company, v rich I was get
ting equipmen: Hr. ‘My God,’ sai l he.
’haven't you get that company ready
yet?’ That was what I wa.3 trying to
tell Governor Bradley and Judge Yost,
tout I may not have slated it to them
as dearly as I intended to."
Ripley denied that he ever said rt
Ferguson and Crawford that Goebel
would be killed, but admitted that ho
warned W. P. Thorne, on January 2>.
to keep his eosi away-from Frankfort, !
claiming that he did so because cf the !
disturbed condition here and not from
any knoledge cf what was going to
occur the next day. He maintained
that there was no secrecy about the
equipment of his company, and sad
that Governor Taylor told him it as
not necessary to apply to the county
judge for authority to organize it. The
company, he said, was organized for
pleasure.
Witness said he received a special
delivery letter from Governor Taylor
1 late in the afternoon of Januarv 'O,
ordering bis company out. The letter
l did not state that Goebel had been
shot and did not give the reason for
calling -them out.

atic Effort in Soma Quarters Look
ing to State Control of Schools.

that the conference has been a parked
success. The declaration adopted was
as follows:
“First, That this Association of Gath-,
□lie Colleges requests its pr ideat, Rt.
Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, res*, etfully to--'
vail the attention of the bishops of the
United States at their annual meeting,
to the work of this conference in re
gard to the collegiate conditions and
especially to the importance of ths
school improvement.
“Second, That the tendency of educa-i
tiouul legislation forces us to remind'
our Catholic, people of the
and well-dehned eorts in certain quarG
ters toward absolute State control h'
education, thereby threatening 'am '
crippling all private educational of
forts, thus depriving a large class or.,
the citizens of the liberty of maintain-j
Ing schools in which the religion shallc
be made an essential element *
“Third, That we remind legislators of’
the rights of conscience guaranteed to
us by our American citizenship, and
call their attention to the system of
schools which our people have main
tained at great expense, and sacrifices.
“Fourth, That we protest against the
unfair and unjust discrimination re
sulting from much of the educational
legislation, and we-ppp '••T’.he fa!r
niimLihfres'llrffl reuser oi'‘‘tnscfce rtf”:he
American people to protect U3 from
such liberality. v
“Fifth, TharVhlS confcr-'oco of Cath
olic colleges convinces us that we are
justified in asserting that our cojlege
system deserves the generous co-opera
tion of all interested in higher Citholic
education: and we pled?e ourselves to
use every effect to perfect still more
our collegiate conditions.
“Sixth, That we call upon all Cath
olics to recognize the imperative need
of a more perfect organization of our
educational system ahj we assure there,
that with a fuller development cf the
Catholic High School, we shall have a
complete system, with its headship in
the University, and thus we shall con
tinue to remain a hi b collegiate
standard.”
Words of cheer from across the tea

gratulation from Pope Leo XIII, a|
Rome. The message read a3 follows
