WILSON TO STAY
IN THE CABINET
Secretary Enjoys Confidence of the
President.
GOING. TO SEE ROOSEVELT
WILL TALK DEPARTMENT MAT
TIERS OVER THOROUGHLY.

n YSTER BAY, July SO.-Secretary
Wilson of the department of
agriculture is expected at Saga
more Hill tomorrow. His visit will
email him and the president to dis
cuss the situation in the department as
il relates TO the investigations now in
progress All rumors of the intention
of Secretary Wilson to resign from the
cabinet may be put aside as merely
cOnjectural. The secretary has no
present intention of leaving the cabinet
and the president knows of no reason
why he should resign
The president, it may be said, re-
poses implicit confidence in Secretary
Wilson and is thoroughly satisfied that
he viii solve the difficulties now pre-
sented to the entire satisfaction of the
chief executive and of the country
1t is prOba bic Secretary Wilson would
have come to Oyster Bay before this
had il not been for the unsettled cOndi-
ton of his department, which rendered
it practically impossible for him to
leave Washington. He is pressing
in progress and viii develop every fact
which the country ought to know.
President Is Satisfied.
That the president is confident the
secretary will purge the department of
any scandal that may attach 10 il is
evident by the fact that he has not
interfered with the pending investiga-
tons. All matters brought to his at
tentiOn have been turned over TO Sec
rotary Wilson with instructions to in
quire into them. This the secretary
has done. and his work has the ap-
prOVal of the president.
It is the determination of both the
president and Secretary Wilson to clear
the department of agriculture of every
form of graft To this end the
likelihood is that every bureau of the
department viii be inquired into care
fully with a view to ascertaining
whether any such condition exists as
was developed in the bureau of statis-
tics. Quietly but effectively Secretary
Wilson has been working to this end
for many months.
Many employees Of the department
have been dropped from the rolls.
practically without the knowledge of
the general public Some have been
dismissed outright, while others have
been permitted to resign. Assurances
are given that no stone will be left I'M
turned to eliminate every faint of
scandal in the department of agricUI-
ture.

the American residents on the Isle Of
Pines against the Cuban government:

about it. The title to the Isle Of
Pines, that lays off the south coast of
Cuba, some eighty miles away, was
left in doubt by the treaty Of Paris,
that closed the Spanish war
A large number of Americans pur-
chased land on the island under the
impression that the island was Ameri-
can territory. The Americans now
number some 1900 or more. They
own 50 per cent. Of the land of the
island that is at all fit to live on. What
few Spaniards OF Cubans there are on
the island are employees of the Amer.
leans, many of whom are well to do,
prosperous, educated Americans.
The state department at Washing
ton some two years ago decided to
give the Isle of Pines TO Cuba. They
made a treaty to that effect with the
Cuban government. The Americans
on the Isle objected and brought to
bear such influence as they could in
the United States senate to prevent
ratification. They have succeeded in
having the treaty held up i'm the past
two sessions. Some three weeks agl
