DANISH ISLES CEDED.
Treaty Signed at State Department
In Washington.
NOW GOES TO THE SENATE,
OhicialM Believe That In View Of the
Terms of CessiOn the Agree
ment Is Certain to BE
Ratified.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The treaty OF
cession of the Danish West Indian is
lands from Denmark to the United
States has been signed at the state de-
partment by Secretary Hay and Con-
stantine Brun, the Danish minister.
The treaty will be submitted to tn.
senate for ratification Immediately.
Following the invariable rule in such
cases, the state department officials de-
cline to make public any Of the details
of the treaty, SO that it is not possible
to state positively the price to be paid.
though this is believed to he in the
neighborhood Of $5, 100000. 1t is known
also that Denmark has abandoned the
position she was inclined to occupy to-
ward the conservation Of the political
rights of the Inhabitants Of the island
and leaves the United States free
hand to deal with them without pledge
Of American citizenship or Of free trade
provisions.
Therefore it is assumed that the
status of the Danish West Indian is
lands, politically and commercially
should the treaty be ratified, will be
similar to that of Porto Rico. Having
gained these points in the negotiations.
the state department officials believe
that the treaty is certain to receive the
approval of the United States senate.
Where the Islands Are.
The Danish West Indies consist Of
three islands lying just east Of Porto
Rico-St. Thomas, st. Croix (Santa
Cruz and st. John. Their combined
area is 11S square miles, only about
one-third Of the area of the city of
New York. The total population is
32,7S6.
The commercial relations of the
United States show the trade of the
Danish West Indies as 1,796, 000-im-
ports. S1.142,OOO; exports, $654,OO0.
The exports consist principally Of
sugar, bay rum, Shells etc.
Consul Van Horne of st. Thomas
gave the imports at that port in 1899
as $74S, 600, and Consular Agent Black
wood the same year gave the imports
into Christianstad st. Croix. at $4O3.-
600. The exports from the latter port
were $216,0O0.
The importations to the islands con-
sist Of linens. cottons. woolens. meal
and canned goods. OF the latter the
United States and Great Britain send
about an equal quantity.
