CUBAN GRANTS TO ISLE OF PINES.
Practically All the Requests of United States
Residents Approved.

Havana. Dec 9.-The Cabinet at a meeting to-
night ordered the establishment of custom
house at Nueva Corona, the principal port of the
Isle Of Pines The government thus complies
with all the requests of the United States resi-
dents Of the Isle of Pines, with the exception of
that relating to an American school. 1t is be-
heved, however, that the school already estab-
lished by the Americans the island will re-
ceive government aid. 1t is thought that these
concessions viii dispose of much of the OPPOSE
ton at Washington to the ratification of the
reciprocity treaty.
Minister Squiers arrived at Hanava to-day
and had conference with Sefor Zaldo. AL
though Mr.. Squers declined to discuss his visit
I'm the middle of his vacation. 1t was believed to
be connected with the Isle of Pines question.
Sehor Zaldo said to-day that Mr. Suuiers had
not ceased to urge compliance with the reason
able desires of the United States residents, and
he added that the Cuban government would
willingly supply such public conveniences as
might be found necessary for the requirements
of the new population of the island as it real
lied that the special conditions there required
considerate treatment.
