Considerable irritation IS felt in Of

Information in the possession OF the
State Department is to the effect that
senor Concha received instructions from
this Government several weeks ago, de-

points of difference over the acquisition
by the United States of the canal strip,
but that he has declined to act upon
these instructions by renewing the ne

to personal feeling Of anger toward

and has given orders TO have it fixed
upon the wall of the new state dining
room in the White House
The antlers measure over six feet
across and each consists of thirteen
prongs. The distance from tip to muz-

half. The neck at that part is about
two feet thick and three and a half
feet from upper to lower side
The moose was killed two years ago

The filtration plant, the sewage disposal

sort specially mentioned by the Com
missioners.
Reference is made TO the advances al

ury which. it IS estimated will amount
to 81. .90l. .T26.I5 by July l of next year.
Without further extension of time for
payment and further advances. under
existing law. it will be necessary for
the District to reimburse the Treasury
to the amount Of S63S, ,90S.71 per annum
FOR three years. This the Commission
ers say would seriously cripple munich

Current and Extraordinary Expenses.
The Commissioners assert that a dis
tinction ought to be made between cur
rent and extraordinary expenses, and the
former provided for out of current reve-
nues- The latter, they think, should be
paid for by advances from the United
States TreasU to be repaid in small
installments during twenty or thirty
years. This plan, in their opinion. would
50 relieve the municipal finances as 10
avoid the seeming deficit reported from

The Administration will be called upon

status OF the Isle OF Pines. James c.

Pines Company, and the San Jose Com
pany. of the Isle Of Pines, is here to
file a memorial with the President ask
ing that some one be sent to the Isle
of Pines to take charge of affairs on
the island and to represent the United
States Government
When the treaty Of Paris was sign
ed. the Isle of Pines was ceded TO the
United States said Mr. Lenney this
morning. Several hundred American
citizens emigrated to the island. invest
ed their money and began the cultiva-
ton Of land. They made many improve
ments and were getting along nicely
when, on the goth OF last May. the Uni
ted States withdrew from Cuba, and
turned the affairs of that island over
to the Cuban government The Isle Of
Pines. without the knowledge OF It's
American citizens, was turned over with
Cuba. to the Cuban government
The result Is business is at a stand
still and the American companies are
waiting to learn whether they are TO do
business under the Stars and Stripes OF
under the flag of Cuba II is a most
anomalous situation, and the Americans
on the island are in a qUandry as TO
what to do. They are strong enough to
organize a government, but do not want
to commit ary overt act against the
United States.
There is absolutely no fern Of gov
ernment on the island. and the only au-
thority visible is a guard consisting Of
eight constabIes representing Cuban gov

The island. So far as know. they have
never made an arrest, because the peo-
