UNDER CUBAN CONTROL.
Secretary Root on the Status of the
Isle of Pines.

Washington. F-b 2S.-The President to-day
sent to the Senate a report Of the Secretary OF
War on the resolution requesting information
as to the Isle OF Pines. The Secretary quotes
from an Endorsement made by the former Mill
tary 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
transferred to the de facto government of the
Republic or 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 interest of United States
citizens who have purchased property and set
tied In the Isle of Pines. because no such action
was necessary. All Americans are in the same
condition as other foreigners. It was understood
that when they, went there they took the risks
incident to the situation. Secretary Root says
General Woods Endorsement answers all Ques-
tions of the Senate resolution.

the Civil War Under existing statutes such a bill
would presumably apply officers of the marine

the President would naturally select General Hey

No Serious Objection to the American Mem

Washington Feb. 28.-Sena tor Turner. of Wash

ary Commission. called the President to-day
He will retire from Congress at the close of the
present session. He expects to return immedl-
ately to his home to arrange his private affairs
and then will proceed to London. where the COM
mission is to meet. He will probably go with the
other American members of the commission Sec
retary Root and Senator Lodge. 1t is scarcely
likely that the work of the commission will begin
before july l. and perhaps not until next fall.
It thought in official circles here that the
recent criticism of the appointment of Senators
Lodge and Turner. said to have emanated from the
Canadian Government. accurately represents the
feeling in Canada. 1t is believed tnat the commits
sion named by President Roosevelt will meet with
no objections far either the Dominion Gov
