TITASHINGTON. Feb. THE recent
w favorable report by the senate
committee on foreign relations
on tne treaty for the cession of the
Danish West Indies islands, was ac-
accompanied by a written statement
made by that committee to the senate
This report holds that during 1900 the
islands exported to the United States
sugar, molasses and distilled spirits
amounting to S56S.945 and that during
the same period the impOrtations from
the United States amounted to S624. 524
The annexation OF the islands was
sought by the United States years ago.
and as far back as 1867 Denmark de
clined to sell the islands for 8. 000. OO0
but made a proposition TO part with
them for $4,000, 900. Secretary Seward
offered $7.5e0.000. which was declined
He afterward agreed to pay that
