Prof. — GEORGES & SON, mb9-9d THE ISLE OF PINES Question as to Title to Island South of Cuba. OFFICIAL © DECISION NECESSARY Cubans Claim It, but American Of- ficials Assert to the Contrary. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLACE . (Copyright, 1900, by J. D. Whelpley.) HAVANA, Cuba, March 11, 1900. A rather interesting question which has grown out of the Spanish relinquishment of Cuba is that of determining the owner- ip of the Isle of Pines. The United States hes been appealed to several times to make a ruling on this point, but the question has never been officially passed upon. When the post office in Washington assumed charge of the mails in Cuba the question necessarily arose, owing to the fact that the population of the Isle of Pines is over 3,000 and there are two towns on the island of fairly good size. The matter was re- ferred to the office of the Attorney Gtneral in Washington. The point at issue was avoided, though a ruling was promulgated that for military and postal purposes the Isle of Pines should be considered as part of Cuba. An unofficial opinion was given that in the judgment of the Attorney Gen- eral’'s office the Island belonged to the United States under the terms of the treaty with Spain. The clause of the treaty upon which this opinion is based reads as follows: ‘Article 2—Spain cedes to the United States the sland of Porto Rico and other tslands now under Spanish sovereignty in the West In- dies, and the Island of Guam in thé Ma- rianos or Ladrones."’ Article § also refers to ‘Porto Rico and other islands in the West Indies." This would appear conclu- sive that the United States was the owner of the Isle of Pines by right of conquest, but the Cubans claim that the Isle of Pines is an integral part of Cuba and as such was simply released by Spain unfler the same conditions as the mainland. The Cubans claim that this island is just as much. part of Cuba as the hundreds of little reefs and other detached portions of the coast line, in regard to which there is no question. If the word Cuba fs interpreted to be inclusive of everything which in the past was regard- ed as Cuban by the Spaniards it can readily be seen that there is an opening for an ar- gument as to ownership, Need of a Judicial Decision: To settle the matter, there must first be some legal definition by the highest court of the inclusiveness of the term Cuba, and then it must be determined whether the Isle of Pines w included in this term or whether it was distinctly a Spanish pos- session, considered as apart from the Island of Cuba itself. In the meantime the American authorities have treated the {sland as part of Cuba for military and governmental purposes. It is included in the department of Havana, h mail service from the mainla ican army officers have made report upon ft. General Lee hims to determine the military situation and de- cide whether troops should be stationed there or not. On his report no troops were sent there and the island has only been visited in the way of inspection by the pos- tal and military authorities. Whenever the question has come up at the American headguarters in Havana the issue has been avoided for fear of irritat- ing the Cubans by a diseussion apparently unnecessary at this time, for the Ameri- can authorities are almost unanimous in the belief that the Isle of Pines belongs to the United States and the Cubans are equally strenuous in their claims to the contrary. The question will have to be settled be- fore long, for the island community is quite an important one, and will enter into the general scheme of Cuban home rule before many months. Should the United States allow it to go under Cuban administra- tion in all the details without question the precedent would undoubtedly deprive the United States of any right ‘to the island, as it would be a tacit admission at least that the Isle of Pines was a part of Cuba, History of the Island. Glancing at the past history of the gov- ernment of the Isle of Pines. it is possible to find precedents for either side in the contention. The Cubans claim that it was ruled by a governor appointed by the au- tonomist government, hence that it was re- garded as part of Cuba by the Spaniards. On the other hand, the Spanish government maintained a convict colony on the is- land, and men were banished from Cuba to the Isle of Pines, it, in that sense, not be- ing regarded as part of Cuba. ‘The question 1s not so unimportant _as it might seem. It was here that the Cuban advisors of the American military authori- ties wanted the United States to land an army for the campaign against Havana. The climate is cons{dered as fine as on any island in the West Indies. There would have been plenty of room and many de- sirable camps for troops, and with the ald of shallow draft vessela a large army could have been landed at once at Bata- bano, on the south coast of Cuba and only thirty-two miles from Havana by rail- road or good highway. The Isle of Pines was discovered by Co- lumbus and named Evangelist Island. It is sixty miles from the mainland of Cuba across a body of water called the Gulf of Matamano. The Isle of Pines is of pe- cullar shape. It is about forty-five miles from east to west, and about thirty-two miles north and south. It is almost cut in two by a great swamp called “La Cien- aga.’ The southern part of the island is low and very flat. The northern part has low coasts except at one point on the morth side, but toward the center there are mountains which reach the height of 1,500 feet above sea level. The great swamp really divides the island into two parts, ‘and it cannot be crossed dry shod except at one point, where a causeway has been built. The swamp is infested with alli- mosquitoes are plentiful. There are quantities of fish and turtles along the coast, and it is claimed there are no veno- mous reptiles on the island. ‘Two Towns on the Inland. ‘There are two towns on the island, Nueve Gerona being the capital. Here is the resi- dence of the governor, the military bar- racks and a prison. The town has about 500 population, and is an unattractive place, where there is little business and little life. It is on the banks of the Sierra de Cassas river, arid is in @ most unhealthy location, being surrounded by swamps. Five miles from the mouth of the Santa Fe river, on the east coast, is the town of Santa Fe, which is similar to, though not so preten- tious as Nueva ona. The soil of the island is sandy, and there Goes not seem to be much chance for axri- cultural development. During the winter ay season the live stock on the {sland comes Very poor, as the grass which grows there is not good, even when nour- ished by rain, and when dry it is almost valueless as food for live stock. ‘The principal resource of the island is its valuable timber, and several attempts have been made by American speculators to se- cure title to these woodlands. Owing to the rel of the American government to grant any privileges, however, the confu- sion of titles and the difficulties of trans- fers, all deals yet originating have fallen LppoUED. though there are men who are aL ring on cutting this timber and ,whg hope in time to secure control of the acreage. . Mahogany, cedar and pine are the prin- @ecision of the cipal woods, though there are many other varieties of more valuable hardwoods found in considerable quantities. The island us a whole is heavily timbered, especially in the northern part. There are.also some min- eral springs, some valuable clay deposiis, and, it is claimed, some excellent marble The mineral springs flow warm) water and are impregnated with irom and: magnesia. The waters from these springs have a great reputation in Cuba, and many people have gone to the Isle of Pines from Havana in search of health. Mr. Rathbone’s Report. The director general of posts in Cuba, E. G. Rathbone, recently made e trip to the Isle of Pines to look into thé mail facilities. He found that one mata wéek had been sent to the island from Batabano. He has now arranged so that the Island receives two mails a week, and there are post of- fices at Nueva Gerona and at Santa Fe, though there is very little thall goes to the island all put together, In speaking of his trip he said: “I found the island fiat near the cvast, though I did not go about much, as [ was looking it over merely from a postal stund- point. There seemed to be an abundance of timber, and I learned that on the south coast there is an abundance of vaiuaole hardwoods. ‘here are a few roads on the island, but it is very thinly settled, though there is quite a good deal of land culti- vated. The country appears quite fertile, and I believe in time it will support quite a population. J.D. WHELPLEY. EXHIBITION OF- HOLLAND Program for the Submarine Test Success- fally Carried Out. Ran Submerged for Ten Minutes, Then Rose, Discharged Torpedo and Disappeared Again. The program of the exhibttion of the sub- marine torpedo boat Holland, which was given yesterday on the Potomac river in the presence of a distinguished party, in- cluding the assistant secretary of the navy, Mr. Allen; Admiral Dewey, a number of other naval officers and many senators and representatives, was carried out in every respect successfully. Lieut. Caldwell, Ad- miral Dewey's secretary, was aboard the Holland during the trip and will make a report to the admiral upon the manner in which the boat was managed. Neither Ad- miral Dewey nor any of the naval officers would talk after the exhibition, further than to say that the Holland had evidently carried out the program successfully. The representatives of the Holland com- pany were much pleased, and said the boat had never given a more satisfactory ac- count of herself. Successful Run Submerged. The maneuvers were concluded at a point off Mount Vernon. When they began the Holland Was sent below the surface until only the flags which hung from the indica- tion staffs on her bow and stern were vis!- ble above the water. She pursued a straight course submerged for ten minutes, being followed by the accompanying boats carrying the which were the Sylph, the Pre ; the Navy De- partment tug he yacht Jo- sephine. After running under water about a mile the Holland rushed t the surface, discharged a service Whitehead torpedo from her gun, and sinking again, turned un- der water, and,-after running back a few hundred yards,’ reappeared on the surfa The boat afterward made five quick p: polse-like dives to show the-ease and rapid- ity With which n be managed. Mem- bers of the congr party said, after the return to Washingtomy that they re- garded the exhibition a suecess,<so far as this could be determined without being on board the boat. i Other exhibitions will be givenhereafter, to one of which the attaches of foreign le- gations here will be invited: ae ee DISCUSSING A POLICY. al The Philippines Under Consideration by the House of Representatives. In the House yesterday afternoon Mr. Cowherd of Missouri said in his ‘speech on the Philippine policy of this) government that in every treaty of annexation made under democratic administration there was @ clause which provided that every in- habitant of the territory annexed should become an American citizen. The treaty of Paris was the only ane acquiring territory in which it was left to Congress to decide the political status of the inhabitants. “Mr. Chairman,” congluded Mr. Cowherd, “there was a time when we boasted not of the money we could make, not that yonder flag carried trade in its wake, but that it carried liberty. Today its proud boast is that trade follows the flag. The other day, when Gen. French rode into Kimberley to the relief of that beleaguerd city, the news- papers tell us the citizens held a reception for the English officers, and Gecil Rhodes, the very incarnation of the land lust, the land grabbing spirit of the age, the man who might also have said as was sald the other day in the other end of the Capit “These are all the islands left to grab * * Cecil Rhodes, in response to ‘a toast, said that the people of Kimberley had done their part in preserving for the world the great- est commercial asset of the age, the Eng- lish flag. “Mr. Chairman, I hope the day will never come when any man can rise Tn any land and point to yonder banner as a commer- clal asset.

HOW CROKER WORKED ON Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 14, 1900. ‘The impression is growing here that the present reform movement that has been sweeping over the city recently is largely of the nature of what the poker players whose quarters have been raided during the past week would call a “bluff... Even old line, old time democrats have little con- fidence in a reform movement executed un- der the auspices of Tammany Hall. There are some peculiar phases of the recent war on vice that remind one of the orders is- sued a number of years ago against the Dool rooms. That was when Richard Croker first became interested in horses, and when he commenced to indulge in the “sport of kings.’ He had formed the ac- quaintance of the Dwyer crowd, had even gone a step further and arranged a practi- cal partnership with the leading wealthy horse owners in this section. Suddenly, without warning one day the order was Issued that all of the pool rooms in the city must be closed. And they were closed. And what is more they were kept closed for a long period of time. Never be- fore or since has so great.a pressure been brought to bear upon the uncrowned king of Tammany. District leaders swarmed to the hall breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the man who had ruined them and their friends, the most powerful forces in the party in this city appealed to Mr. Croker in vain. Croker Turned Paritan. For the first time in his life, and, per- haps, for the last time, the chief of Tam- many Hall turned Puritan and preached against vice in a fashion that would ha gladdened the heart of the mést sincere New England clergyman. Pool playing, he argued, had ruined hundreds of young men and boys, had caused the hearts of thou- sands of mothers in the city to break, had induced the clerk to abstract money from the ull under the impression that it could be returned the next day. Some men would gamble and would bet on hor: they were about, and if they went to the race tracks and lost their money that was their own busin2ss. It was only when the little gamblers found their living gone that they joined hands with the church people in a spirit of revenge, with the result that horse racing was swept out of New Jersey by constitutional am>ndments and the laws. of the state of New York were so altered that horse racing was allowed for only a imited period of time, and pool selling was replaced by “bets between gentl>men,” the English system practically being adopted in this state. Mr. Croker and his high- toned racing partners having made a mint of money out of the race tracks by this time, gave up th2 fight and sought green fields and pastures new in England. Pool rooms gradually came back to the city, were winked at by the police, and eventual- ly flourished like the green bay tre2. But with race tracks in full blast in the suburbs it ts doubtful whether Croker and the rac- ing syndicate behind him would have ever been willing to give up th> “good thing” which they held in the hollow of their hand. Tammany's Power Demonstrated. That demonstrated conclusively that Tammany Hall could suppress vice pro- vided it was worth Croker’s while. And there Is much in the recent r2form wave that reminds the casual observer of this famous pool room order of ars ago. In the first place, the very time of the year" selected for the crusade causes one to be- suspicious of its per: Z In a month or so Coney Island will be a halo of glory from end to end, and all the characters, male and female, who no haunt dens like McGurk’s, the Tivoli the Haymarket, will be “found at the shore seeking a summer's outing indirectly, but directly seeking whom they may de- your. Then again, though it is generally admitted that Theodore Rooseveit suc- ceeded in keeping the saloons pretty well closed during the winter, the storm of in- dignation that was called down around hi devoted head during the summer trae, when picnic parties were raided, when bicyclists were refused a glass of beer at the wayside inn, when the poor foreigne were not allowed to purchase ice on Sun- days in the densely populated sections cf the cily, ultimately led to the downfall of the Strong administration and the transfer of Roosevelt to Washington. It was ihe hot summer seasan that cnecked ihe wave of reform inaugurated by Dr. Parkhurst, alienated the foreign vote and caused the return of Tammany Hall to power. It ts doubtful whether the Sunday closing law can be enforced in this city during the warm weather, and the Tammany Hail leaders know it. Movement Regarded With Suspicion. The fact that this war on the gamblers was inaugurated by the gamblers them- selves naturally causes a good many good men to look upon the entire movement with suspicion, District Attorney Asa Bird Gardiner, the man who was elected on a platform of “To with reform,” turn- ing reformer may illustrate the old adage that politics makes strange bedfellows, but there are more persons who seem to think that the district attorney is not sincere in his professions, that he has not seen a great white light, that what is being done is being done for effect. In other words, that a gigantic “‘bluff’’ is being engineered by Tammany Hall. The manner in which the crusade was worked up through the newspapers, the fact that secrets were di- vulged that only gamblers could have known, the fact that reporters have been given secrets that the Mazet legislative in- vestigating committee could not unearth, arouses the suspicions of men who know a thing or two. As a matter of fact, there is scarcely a newspaper man in the city who does not know that the information that has led to the recent shake-up was given out by the biggest gamblers in the city. In all por- tons of the city gambling rooms had been springing up during the winter, and as a result the big gamblers, who have been running under @ heavy expense and who have been compelled to pay a high tribute to the police, decided that now was the time to run all the Httle fellows out of the business. . Power of the Gamblers. ‘They were confident that they could get @ suspension of the order any time they pleased, but that in the meantime the lit- tle fellows would have been shaken out or frightened away. When Canfield’s quarter of a million dollar gambling establishment, located next to Delmonico’s, is closed; when the proprietors of Kelley’s princely poker Parlors have been held to the grand jury, the average man will commence to believe in the sincerity of District Attorney Gardi- ner and his new-found reform friends. —._—_ Completion of Work Ordered.
