IN CHARGE OF GU. lTANAMO.
Transfer Of New Naval Station in
Cuba.

Without any fomality the United States
has come in actual possession of the coal
ing station at Guantanamo. Although the
flag raising has not taken place, 1t is
learned at the Navy Department that the
transfer was effected in a quiet manner
several days ago. Under the arrangement
Cuba will pay the owners of the property.
1t was explained that the moving factor in
the transaction was the knowledge that
Cuba was without a navy, and as the
United States has undertaken the protec-
ton of the island against a foreign foe as
we'll as desiring the station as a naval base
to protect its own interests, the transfer
was made in order that this government
might complete it's plans mapped out some
time ago.
In furtherance of these plans board of
inspection consisting of Maj. Gen. Chaffee,
assistant chief of staff; Gen. Gillespie
chief of engineers, and Capt. Dayton of
the navy left here yesterday for Norfolk,
where they will board the cruiser Buffalo
now fitting there, for visit to Guantanamo
and Bahia Honda, the other coaling sta
ton granted to the United States under
an agreement with Cuba.
