A dsputation representing the Union

the Secretary of War and the President
tomorrow, to ask if they and other loyal
men within the line Of our armies. can.
not be protected in their liberty and
property. ! Although our guns bear upon
fredericksburg, Union men are carried
Oh prisoners to Richmond, and their
property is destroyed or stolen. They
think that If the Government cannot
protect them, it at least can make repri-
sails in kind. Instead Of guarding the

to regard As their personal rights, includ-

John in the Virgin group, and St. Croiz
OF Santa Cruz, to which Denmark wishes
to remove our black freed men. The
former is well known to American mer..
chants as free port and the seat of an
active trade. In 1907, during the Napo-

three Islands, and held them until 1914,

Its cultivation may be greatly extended.
1t has little commerce Of its own, but is
frequented bya few foreign vessels. In
1858 it was visited BY eight briggs, three
banks and two schooners from the United
States, and this is about the average an
nual number. The inward cargoes, sold at
Frederlckstadt, amounted in value to only
S49,9 in that year, and the outward to
s29, 432, and at Christianstadt they were
nearly the same.
There Ia great want on the Island of
mechanics, especially those capable of
constructing vessels. ship,yards, docks
and railways The usual wages given la

but size it is inferior to St. Thomas, which
is but eighteen miles in ircumference
and lies little further north. Its pro-
ducts, like those of the adjacent island.

The sugar production mostly reappesrs

"Old Santa Cruz" and it is evident
