The Teller Amendment stated that the United States would not, under any circumstances, obtain juristiction over Cuba ( it was created to prevent us from forging a Latin American Empire ). The Platt Amendment, meanwhile, was created to make sure that the lives of Americans lost in the Spanish-American War were not wasted: it gave us the authority to intervene in Cuban affairs in order to protect our own interests - it also gave us land in Guantanimo Bay with which to build a naval base.
The Teller Amendments says that the U.S. will leave Cuba and its people alone once they gain independence from Spain. However, in the Platt Amendment, the U.S. is saying that they will not leave Cuba unless they set up a government by their rules. Also, once the Cubans make this government, the U.S. will still stay around to make sure that their independence is protected.
