which the commanding general of the
United States in California, after the
Mexican war. maintained a military
government from the time of the treaty
of peace until California was admitted
into the Union. Mr.. Beck said that
while the political status of Cuba was
anomalous, it was not without preced-
ent and he cited the island of Cyprus
in which Turkey permitted English oc-
cupation and rule as long as Russia re-
tanned certain Armenian territory.
While therefore the ultimate sovereign
ty was in Turkey. yet England at pres
ent exercised full sovereignty in Cyprus
and would until the contingency arose
which would terminate its rights in
Cyprus. He also cited the British occu-
patton of Egypt as an instance of the
same government of s'definitive occupa-
tion.''
He therefore argued that although
Cuba was foreign to this government in
the sense that it was not incorporat ted
as permanent domestic territory into the
United States. 1t was nevertheless terri
tory pro ternpore of the United States.
subject to our jurisdiction and to our
rights as the sovereign power and that
therefore the United States acting
through the commander in chief had
full rights to exercise all executive,
legislative and judicial powers in Cuba.
With reference to the constitutional
guarantees as to jury trial in the bill
of rights, Mr.. Beck commended that they
had no application to Cuba
Mr.. Beck further said that Mr.. Lind
says contention involved a remarkable
contention. He could not deny the con-
stitutional right of the government to
make the treaty of Paris, but his argu-
ment in effect denies the constitutional
right of the government to carry out
the stipuIa tons of the treaty. This, doc
trine, tested by its inevitable conse-
quences, is at once seen to be unsound.
If this court were to adopt it, and the
president We're to withdraw the army
from Cuba and remove the existing
H.
government at all. In absence of any
government, anarchy might possibly re-
suit. This might lead to the destruc-
ton of life and property. which the
United States under the treaty of Paris,
has promised to protect. If therefore
SPAIN or any other nation, the lives and
property of whose citizens had been
thus sacrificed, were to call this coun-
try to account for our failure to carry
out our treaty stipulations, the United
States, If Mr. Iindsay's contention were
adopted by the court would be in the
position of asserting that it had no
power to carry out it's own treaty obli-
cations. Could" said Mr.. Beck, "a
more humiliating position be imagined,
or one more contrary to that decent re-
spect to the opinions of mankind which
Mr. Jefferson made the key note to the
great declaration"

court took the case under Amusement
