- By Associated Pres3.
Washington, D. C Fob. G. It wa3
admitted today "by a high omclal of the
government that the administration
oarnAstlv ideslred the adoption of the
Cuban constitution before the adjourn
TOcnt of the present session of Con
Kress.
An official said that the provision of
the constitution, as finally agreed upon
'would determine to a great extent the
character of action of this government.
'While It Is extremely desirable to have
Congress paiss upon the constitution,
lie said. It iwas possible that It might
bo so satlfactory In In Its provisions,
that regardless of the date of Its ad
option, the President might not deem
It necessary to call Congress together
in extra session to pass upon it.
According to Ills- understanding It
-was clearly wlthlnt the tecaL rights of
the President to withdraw trooos fr Jm
Cuba when he was satisfied that the
rnnntrv wa pacified and had a com
petent stable government established,
-without submittlns the matter to Con
gress. The Sneaker ima'de It perfectly plain
that the ro'ations between the govern
ments of Cuba and the United States
roust bo clearly defined, either in the
legislation or In some other satisfac
tory way, before the United States will
consent to withdraw entirely from,
the government of the Island.

'Inythe afternoon sessln there was an

Tho Hague, Feb. 6. The wedding
cvo of Queen Wilholmlna and Duke
Henry of Mocklcnberg-Schwerin shows
a winter carnival holding sway over
The Hasue. It is an ideal evening,
clear and cold.
Already 10,000 Hollanders, with
many foreigners, have been added to
the population of the city, and trains
from all quarters of tho kingdom are
bringing thousands more. People go
marching about or in carriages sing
ing or playing the national anthem.
Wherever a band Is heard they have
taken up tho hymns "Wilhelmus Van
Nassau" and "Vein Ner Lnnds Bio du."
Everywhere singing societies In uni
forms and wearing medals, sober look
ing Dutchmen who chant solemnly, of
ficials and piomlnent Visitors, groups
of young men and women, costumes in
'white' "amTorange, are parading abou
singing and making fun witlii 'the
crowds.
Tho tri-colored flags of Holland and
the House of Orango are everywhere
displayed, w'th an occasional light
blue banner of Mecklenberg. Orangs
paper lanterns, hanging among the fir
trees which line the main streets and
looking like big clusters of oranges,
throw a light over the decorations.
Every man nnd woman weais an or
ango roaetto with a picture of the
bride.
Queen Wllhelmlna dined at tho pal
ace th's evening with Duke Henry.
Occasionaly she appeared at the upper
windows to bow to a response to som
serenading society.
A striking feature of the festivities
is their democratic appearance. Few
policemen or soldiers appear. Tho
Queen 'and Duke Henry drive about the
city In order to give people a chance to
seo them. Whenever the royal car-
riago appears tho people good natured
ly clear the way. When the crowds are
thick, tho policemen and others clasp
hands and form a line to keep them
hack. The Queen bows and emiles
with gnuino youthful enjoyment. The
Duke is considered cold and looks bor
ed. His fi lends say that ho is-exceed-ingly
shy, and being only 24 years of
age, Is greatly embarrassed by his
prominence.
