Control of the Isle of Pines.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The President
to-day sent to the Senate a report of the
secretary of war upon the resolution re-
questing information as to the Isle of Pines.
The secretary quotes from an Endorsement
made by the late military governor of Cuba,
who says that at the date of transfer of
the government Of Cuba the Isle of Pines
was under the municipality of the province
of Havana. The Isle of Pines was trans
ferred to the de facto government of the
republic of Cuba. pending a settlement by
treaty between the United States and Cuba.
The island to-day is under the control of
the civil governor of the province Of
Havana and the republic of Cuba. No
special action was taken to protect the in
terests of United States citizens who have
purchased property and settled in the Isle
of Pines, because no such action was neces-
sary. All Americans are in the same con-
dition as other foreigners. 1t was under

. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-The Senate to-
day passed the Notifications appropriation
bill and the House immigration bill with
amendments. The general deficiency bill.
the last of the appropriation measures, was
reported from the committee.
The greater part of the day was given UP
to consideration Of the Aldrich bond de-
post bill. which was debated at length, but
on which a vote was not reached. While
the bill was under discussion Mr. Aldrich
said the Republican party would undertake
the reduction Of the revenues at the next
session OF Congress, provided there was a
surplus.
Mr.. Teller replied that he would be found
willing TO lend his aid in the direction in
dictated, and said that he believed the Dem
ocrats would all be found of one mind in
that respect. For himself, however, he
would insist that the reduction should be
upon Rhode Island manufacturers well
as upon the farmers product or sugar.
The Senate took recess until IL o'clock to-
morrow, when a session will be held for
the purpose of delivering eulogies upon de-
ceased members of the House.

FOWLER'S FINANCIAL BILL.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Representative
Fowler, chairman of the House committee
on banking and currency. to which commit
tee was referred the Payne-Aldrich cur
rency bill, to-day introduced bill in which
is incorporated the elastic currency bill in
troduced by Mr.. Fowler at this session and
which is now pending before the House. To
this is added provisions contained in the
Fowler bill introduced last session. These
latter provide that in addition to the pro-
visions of Section 5153 of the Revised Stat
utes, the secretary of the treasury may also
deposit in such designated repositories any
public money received from whatever
source. including receipts from customs,
without requiring security by the deposit
of United States bonds and otherwise as
provided in said section, but no such de-
post shall in any case exceed 70 per cent. of
the paid-up and unimpaired capital of any
such depository. Further provision is made
that all national banks shall pay interest
on such deposits at the rate of per cent.
per annum, and the United States is given
a paramount lien on the assets of such de-
poSitOries for the repayment Of the money
when demanded
1t is provided further that the secretary
of the treasury shall report to Congress at
the beginning of each session the names
of banks in which public moneys are de-
posted and the amounts, and that when
any bank issuing bank notes under the
provisions of the bill and which at the
same time may be a depository such notes
and deposits shall be a joint paramount
claim upon the assets of the bank.
There are material differences in the pro-
visions of the Fowler bill relating to the
deposits of public money and those of the
Payne-Aldrich bill in that the former re-
quires no security for such deposits, while
the latter does, and the former charges 2
per cent, while the latter charges az per
cent interest on deposits. Section 16 of the
Fowler bill Is the same as Section 2 of the
Payne bill
Mr.. Fowler will endeavor TO have his bill
reported out of the banking and currency
committee instead of the Payne bill. An
informal conference was held during the
day by some of the Republican members
of the committee to consider the bill
