Cuban conservatives claim majority in constitutional body
Havana May 21 conservatives report a majority of four in the Cuban constitutional convention though four conservatives were absent. The push to pass a program gave way to a move to block radicals from final vote. The radicals faced abstentions and a split, weakening Juan Gualdero Gomez who opposed US intervention and warned he would oppose the Platt amendment. Critics say Gomez has accepted part of the amendment in his minority report and radicals vow a rival report. Cisneros charged US public opinion was not properly consulted and claimed letters from New York urged rejection. After reading minority and majority reports conservatives canvassed their base and tabled both reports two and a half hours later.
