cles the impression is growing that the
United States are making preparations for
controversy over small island under the
Jurisdiction Of the Haytian government.
Ever since the proposition was made to con-
q al af Panama StQfQa
has been endeavoring to get possession of
the island in question, which is situated In
the immediate vicinity of st. Nicholas Mole,
and is down on the naval charts as Great
Inagua. A naval station on the latter island
has been the ambition of the government for
many years. It would not only give the
United States position of vantage at the
northern entrance to Windward Pass, flow-
ing between Hayti and Cuba, but it would
enable our government to scrutinlze all COM
merce going through the pass to Panama be-
yond. This most desirable location for ma
val station has notIbeen overlooked by France.
who also has an interest in the Panama ca
nal, and the French government has been
figuring on outbidding our government for
the purchase or possession OF it.
