CENSUS BUREAU WILL
TELL ALL ABOUT CRIME
To Make Interesting Re-
port at Early Date.
STATISTICS HARD TO OBTAIN
Figures Must Be Gathered From Every
State-The Negro Question
Under Limelight.

Plans are being formulated by the
Census Bureau for a census report on
crime. pauperism. and benevolence.
This report is expected to be one OF the
most important ever compiled by the
bureau and viii give the first COM
preflSnsive view OF criminal and pauper
statistics in the country IN relation to
benevolent and charitable institutions.
Statistic son this subject are now
difficult to obtain by experts and the
public. as few Of the States have gone
into the matter systematically, and in
Yestigators have to draw their own con-
cluBiOns and make their own deductions
from masses Of figures collected accord

INDIGNANT AMERICANS
ASSAIL Mr.. SQUIERS
Charge the Minister With
Betraying Their Interests.
ASSURED OF PROTECTION
Residents of Isle of Pines Not Pro-
vided for in the Proposed
Treaty.

HAVANA, Nov 27.-There is much in
dignation among American residents
end property owners on the Isle OF Pines
over what they pronounce betrayal Of
their interests by United States Minis
ter Squiers. Several months ago. when
a treaty between Cuba and the United
States regarding the ownership OF the
Isle OF Pines was being discussed. Mr..
Squiers, 1t is claimed. positively as
sured committee representing the
American colony on the island that in
case a treaty was drawn up for the ces-
sion Of the territory to Cuba certain
much-needed reforms ip the government
Of the island would be provided for.
The Suggested Reforms.
These reforms included the establish
ment OF an effective administration OF
some kind. with judicial tribunals. a
port Of entry, and al least one American
school Insular lard records were to be
removed from Bejueal, Cuba. to the
capital OF the island. All these reforms.
aside from the maintenance OF an
American school. are demanded by the
natives as well as the American popula-
tion, for the interests Of the island seem
to have been sadly neglected since the
American evacuation OF Cuba.
When the treaty providing for the sur
render Of the Isle of Pines to Cuba was
sent 10 the United States Senate a few
days ago. 1t seems to have contained no
provision whatever for the safeguarding
Of American or other interests on the
island.
Visited the Island.
What makes the feeling against Minis
ter Squiers specially bitter is the fact
that he even visited the Isle of Pines
In person and is said to have assured
the American colony that he would look
after their welfare in the manner de-
scribed. He is also alleged TO have vol
unteered TO see that the lands OF dis
satisfied Americans were purchased by
the Cuban government. in case of an
nexation.
A statement of these facts is. it is re-
ported. 20 be filed at Washington on the
ground that the representa- of Mr.
SQuiers have induced many Americans
to purchase property and seek homes
on the Isle Of Pines. While these Ameri-
cans have never abandoned hope that
the United States would retain the ISL
and they felt that with the reforms
which the American minister Is said to
have guaranteed, annexation to Cuba
would at least mitigate the intoIerable
conditions under which the islanders are
now suffering.

The Census Bureau expects to gather
figures from every State according to
the same system and thus give those
interested uniform basis upon which
to work.
Only the plans have been considered
up 70 the present and they have by no
means been perfected. After the details
OF the scheme are arranged 1t is expect
ed that nothing VIII be given out for
publication for a year, as it will take
at least that much study and observa-
ton TO obtain material Of any value.

ira session of congress in October. in

suit of developments at the confer
ence of senators with the president
