oue,tion of Isle of Pin 81.

Mr.. Squiers left Washington for New
York Tuesday evening and expects to
sail for Havana Wednesday. He has
cleared up to the complete satisfaction
of the state department the important
charges confided to him, with the single
exception of the settlement of the pos
session of the Isle of Pines, and this
cannot be arranged here. He will un-
dertake that settlement in Cuba. The
indications now are that the United
States government will not press
strongly in this matter, although there
are important American interests
clamoring for termination of the
present unsatisfactory conditions in
the island
The reason for the Indifference is
first, the unavailability of the island
as naval base, owing to the shallow
water surrounding it. and second, the
really strong sentimental attach
ment of the Cubans for the place,
which would cause feeling of re-
sentiment toward The United States
in the event that the isle was taken
away.
