reiurnish and redecorate the room OF
the roval palace occupied by the Shah
and his suite after they have depart

entirely without its redeeming fea

or Antwerp is diamond cutting and
the manufacture of iewelry and as the
Shah is expected to make big purchas

share the dread with which the Off.
clals regard his approaching visit.
rs purchasers there is marked diff.
ference between the present Shah and
his father, Nasr Ed-Doen. The last
named was an excellent hand at max.
ing bargain, but not too scrupulous
in concluding it. He bought right and
ieft and rarely asked for the bill. and
there are some merchants in Antwerp
today who are stll waiting for a set
tlement for bills contracted by the
late Shah on the occasion of his visit
here fourteen years ago His son. on
the other hand, is regarded as an ideal
client He is easily pleased. never
dickcrs and rarely asks the price of
anything. When shopping he invaria-
hly tells his grand vizier for whom
the purchase is intended or if an ar
tiCle of furniture, for which OF his resi-
dences it is destined He is ready to
buy anything which strikes his fancy.
For Instance. on the occasion OF his
last visit to western Europe, he re-
turned to Teheran with more than one
hundred snapshot cameras. dozen
monographs. an equal number of au-
tomobiles and telephones. music boxes

representing fabulous sums.
Mu2zafer-Ed Dins love for blazing
jewels has been much commented
upon One of the largest diamonds in
existence he wears in the front of his
cap and on gala occasions he appears
in a robe so richly embroidered with
Jewels as to be valued at over $4,000.

luotance by the naval authorities, not
only because of Its significance as a
| surrender of the only foothold we have
on Cuban soil. but because it is not
| uncommon for one nation to lease
coal docks upon the territory OF an
other. and they think that the Cubans
are rather cheeky in ordering us to
get out. The president thinks diff
ferently. He is not willing to rest
under any obligations whatever to
Cuba.

OYSTER BAY. July l9.-Some days
ago the president gave orders to the
secretary of the navy to bring away
1000 tons of coal which Admiral Craw-
ford has had stored in fine new
warehouse at Triscornia. little SUI
burb of Havana, just across the bay.
and to turn over to the Cuban author

property OF the government of the
United States at that place. This
includes railway about three miles
long. which connects the docks and
warehouses with the main system of

the convenient distribution of freight.
This railway and the docks were not
built with Cuban money. but with ap-
preparations by our congress for the
benefit of the navy; the warehouses
were leased from private owners; and
the Cubans have no claim upon the
property whatever. One of the first
things their government did. however
was to call for the REIMBURSEMENT of
this property, and as it was the last
link connecting the army and navy oi
the United States with the Island OF
Cuba. no official notice was taken OF
their demand as long as congress was
in session, but when adjournment wa.
taken without doing anything TOWARD
fulfilling our duty and obligations to
ward the Cubans the president took
the ground that we were no longer
justified in asking or accepting favors
from Cuba. and ordered the property
to be vacated.
This is being done with great re
