COPENHAGEN SPECTATORS.
Danish West Indies People Believed to
Favor Sale.

EAVOr Sbi6s
Copenhagen, Dec. 31.-The agitation
against the sale of the Danish West
Indies to the United States has placed
the government in an embarrassing
position. There is much difference of
opinion as to how far public sentiment
against the saleis genuine and how far
it is the work of spectators and pro-
moters. At any rate it has impressed
the foreign minister to the extent of
his being determined to request Secre-
tary Hay to allow of an arrangement
for a plebiscite. This matter will be
settled through Copenhagen and not
through the Danish minister, C. Brun,
at Washington.
1t is generally declared in well in
formed circles here that the islanders
favor the sale. But the chief argument
advanced by the large majority is that
there should be a plebiscite like that Of
1867. The fact that the Danish gov
eminent is reopening the negotiations
indicates that there is much doubt in
the minds of the authorities as to how
accurately they have guaged the ma
tional sentiment.
In the meanwhile those who are OPP
posed to the sale are formulating
numerous plans for realizing on the
tropical asset so long neglected. A
company has just been formed for i'm
proving the economic status of the
islands, in the event that they are not
sold. The capital of the company is
not announced, but the directors in
clude Heido and Glenckstadt, bank
directors; Anderson, a director of the
East Asiatic company, and other inhu-
ential DerSOns
