STATUS OF ISLE OF PINES.
Secretary Root Dashes Hopes Of Ameri
can CoIonista

The administration has dashed the hopes
of the small band of American colonists on
the Isle OF Pines, who have been working
toward the separation of the island from
Cuba and Its inclusion In the United States.
Secretary Root. after consultation with the
President yesterday afternoon. made public
the text of letter which he had addressed
to Charles Raynard. president OF the Amer
lean Club Of the Isle of Pines. defining the
attitude of the United States government
toward the proposed formation Of a terri
torfal government in the island as a part
Of the United States. The Secretarys LETT
ter is as follows:
Il have received your letter of October
18th, in which you say: Kindly advise me
procedure to establish territorial form OF
government for the Isle of Pines, West In
dies u. 8. A.
ut Is no part of the duty of the Secre-
tary OF State to give advice upon such SUBJ
jects. l think 1t proper. however. to an
swer your inquiry so far as 1t may be neces-
Sary to remove an error under which you
appear to rest concerning the status of the
Isle Of Pines and your rights as residents
of that island.
There is no procedure by which you and
your associates can lawfully establish
territorial government in that island. The
island is lawfully subject to the control and
government of the republic of Cuba, and
you and your associates are bound to rem
der obedience to the laws of that country
so long as you remain in the island. IL
you fail in that obedience you will be justly
liable to prosecution in the Cuban courts
and to such punishment may be provided
by the laws of Cuba for such Of
Tense as you commit. You are not
likely to have any greater power In
the future. The treaty now pending
before the Senate, IL approved by that
body. will relinquish all claim of the United
States to the Isle of Pines. In my judg
ment. the United States has no substantial
claim to the Isle of Pines. The treaty
merely accords to Cuba what is hers in &C
cordance with International law and JUS
tice.
"At the time of the treaty of peace which
ended the war between the United States
and Spain the Isle of Pines was, and has
been Tor several centuries, part of Cuba.
l have no doubt whatever that 1t continues
to be part of Cuba, and that it is not and
never has been territory of the United
States. This is the view with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt authorized the pending
treaty and Mr.. Hay signed it and l expect
to urge it's confirmation. Nor would the
rejection of the pending treaty put an end
to the control of Cuba over the Island.
A treaty directly contrary to the one now
pending would be necessary to do that, and
there is not the slightest prospect of such
a treaty being made. You may be quite
sure that Cuba will never consent to give
up the Isle of Pines, and that the United
States will never try to compel her to give
it up against her WILL

not care to have United States sanitary
corps coming in TO take their places under
the benign protection of the Platt amend

After the taking of temperatures there is
nothing on the official program until break

electric bell breaks forth. But this time

with many fries and stews, but no roasts
or broils. There is plenty of garlic. but no
butter. Americans as well as Cubans, how
ever. take with thanks what is set before
them. and at the end there remain none
unsatisfid.
ADJUSTMENTS Provided.
Afternoon at the camp is far from excit-
ing. There Is a billiard table at the can
tina, a small vine covered building next to
the pavilion. Here also drinks hard and
soft may be found. A plano stands read for
use at one end OF the dining room. At
O'Clock comes another inspection OF tenn
peratures. and an hour or two later the
bell rings for dinner, both of these events
being welcome diversions, but not at all
notable IN point of novelty.
After dinner the prisoner discovers a
beautiful sunset view from the edge of the
bluff that overlooks the harbor Vessels of
all nations lie below. while all Havana
spreads out on the other side of the forbid
den water, This picture. touched by the
fading colors of the sunset proves some
thing OF a compensation for the ennui OF

Closed Season Demanded.

A closed season is now demanded by the
conditions. think there should be a COM
mission of five men appointed from various
parts Of the state to devise proper Iegisla-
ton and then to urge its passage. There
should be uniform game laws. The state
could be divided into two zones and appro-
pirate open seasons could be ABRAMS ed for
these. In the northern and western section
the shooting season could begin earlier than
In the southern part of the state.
instead Of shooters paying tax In the
various counties l advocate a tax on every
gun owned in Maryland The tax would
be but 81, and this would not be onerous.
as the money so received could be turned
over to the proposed commission and used
under proper restrictions in the purchase
and distribution of stock birds. The legis-
lature does not meet until January and the
shooting season for birds closes in most sec
tons November "a. AS there are no birds
to shoot, but little more damage remains to
be done this sea sen.
Such legislation could have no effect on
the market supply, as the game in the mar
kets has to b3 brought from other states.
There are not enough birds now in Mary
lend to supply the market for one week, IL
all could be killed."
In view of the scarcity of game In Mary
land, 1t is stated, the game wardens will
look to the strict enforcement Of the law
about the Thanksgiving holidays. In some
of the counties the license required for one
days shooting is as much as $40, while in
some other counties the charge Is much
less. In Virginia the law is uniform, the
charge for the season being $40. The owner
of property has the right, however, to ex-
tend an invitation to his friends to shoot
upon his property without the payment of
a license tax.

daily program IS a cup OF coffee. The pot
stands on the table with plates OF bread
You may help yourself to all YOU want
but you get nothing else. Such Is always
the first meal of the day in Cuba.
Ihen comes the most exciting event OF
the day. On the shady side of the long
building that houses the first and second
class prisoners the servants arrange two
long rows of straightIback chairs Then
sounds long note from a big electric bell
near the door. BY the end of ten or ftf-
teen minutes the whole company Is as
sembied, some forty or fifty in all. When
all Is ready out comes the doctor who first
counts noses, and then starts along the
lines presenting each OF his guests with
what the ladies call dear little thermom-
eter. The guest Immediately puts the pres
ent in his or her mouth, with the end
sticking out like freshly lighted cigar
cite. Five minutes later the doctor passes
again along the lines and takes back his
thermometers, giving each wise glance
If there Is any fever there he will surely
find 1t.
Such Go to Hospital.
The doctor smiles when he reads the Their
mometer of one of the prisoners but
when he steps back into his office the man
goes with him, Then there Is heard the
ring of telephone beH and thirty minutes
afterward there appears from that mys-
terious world beyond the wire fence a two
horse ambulance with fine wire netting over
its little windows. The tall man climbs the
steps of the ambulance. the door is slam

is no joking as he goes It turns out after
ward that the banished mans fever came
from nothing more than a little stomach

pected anything else But the quarantine

Efforts to Protect Game.


In Maryland the people who are Interested
in the matter of protecting the game are
likely to take some definite action when the
state legislature meets this year. There Is
general sentiment among the sportsmen
and game wardens of the state in favor of
prohibiting cunning for two years The
Maryland Fish and Game Protective Asso-
citation has watched with interest and re-
gret the passing of the game of the state,
and members recall their past efforts to OBJ
tain legislation that would have protected
he birds from the wholesale slaughter The
committee that is charged with this work
is composed of William B. Hurst L. NJ
lowering, George d. Penniman, Ogden Mil
ton Dennis, De Courcey w. Thorn William
II. Mcdowell and Robert H. Gilbert. There
is general demand being made for Iegis-
lation that will protect the game of the
state, but the fear is expressed that the
legislators will yield to the wishes of gun
club members and others and enact local
general laws Of the state The field trials
in Talbot county few days ago satisfied
the members of the association that there
is need for the enactment of a protective
law In the state. This law, the sportsuen
contend. should be uniform and deal with
all sections of the state the same
Ogden Milton Dennis, assistant game
warden, has received reports from the dep
uty Wardens in all sections of the state and
IS convinced that unless something Is done
by the legislature this winter there will
soon be practically no game left He favors

thinks there should be other restrictions

CHANGE IN GAME LAWS

There is such a scarcity Of game in most
sections Of Maryland and Virginia this year
that sportsmen who usually spend Thanks

and dogs will look elsewhere this year for
sport
."They will have to go upon the river and
take their chances with the ducks, re-
marked an enthusiastic gunner to star
reporter this morning, IF they want to
have any sport Ducks are plentiful on
some parts of the river, and with cool day
there is no reason why good shot should
not get a good-sized bag of game De-
spite the scarcity of birds and rabbits, 1t
Is believed, many persons will leave here

of getting the last bird of a flock.
This season. thus far has been one of
discomfort to the gunners. and the fear
that has often been expressed by them-that
the partridge would be exterminated-is now
almost an assured fact. Knowing that there
are but few birds still in the country, the
numerous game wardenS have been doing
what little they could to discourage their
slaughter.
will not heed such warnings said a deputy
game warden to a Star reporter. Most of
them will tramp over the country. and are
never satisfied until they have killed every
thing in sight; and they call that sport.
Such sports should be arrested and fined for
false pretenses There is no more reason
why sportsman should go out and kill off
the game when it is so scarce than there
is why 'pot-hunters' should not be permitted
to use their big guns when ii is plentiful"

THE BOARD OF HBALTll'
The council has filled vacancies.
1t has never proposed to act lille
gaIly. 1t has been deliberate.
Rather than commit itself to a
hasty action-even with the law
apparently sustaining the suggest

HealtE-it deferred action and
appointed a committee to
thoroughly investigate the matter
The report of the committee was
made on last Monday evening.
In conclusion, the tax payers
can rest assured that the present
city administration has no inten
ton of violating any pledge made
to the people. 1t has outlined a
pollcy-it has planned it's course
and is attempting to infuse into
public affairs sound business
methods and correct principles-lt
will keep faith-it will endeaVOr

1t is not fighting. 1t is only

questionable acts of those connect

neither has it the desire to be-

discharged their duty. Investiga
ting is not tighting-the coancil

Misstatements.

Last week, in response to the
request Of our esteemed cOntem
porary The Leader we EN-
deavored to sustain our charge
against them of "erroneous state
ments.' We parallelled their
editorial and news statements
with the cts-dOubtless cOnvlnc
ing the unbiased that we had
maintained our original charge;
but our neighbor-The Leader
demurs. In it's argument it shows
it's own weakness and confusion
In its contention, it seems to
want an advance statement of
what the city's job printing is
going to cost for the next four
years. What puerility.
Is there business house IN this
city that knows what 1t will need
next year in the line of stationery,
or job printing!
In the matter of licenses our
neighbOr thinks that ''any child
shonld have understood "the state
ment of the Leader to mean that
the license of $500 imposed from
July LIST was for the remainder Of
the year, (for those beginning
business after July 1st.) The
child might have known that the
Leader was in error if it had pre-
viOusly read the ordinance. In
other words, our neighbOr Editor
is presuming upon the previol s
information of the children.
En- PdSsant, we are little
curious to know how the Leader
would have it's readers interpret,
or guess at, the meaning of the
language used in its own display
ad., appearing in the southwest
corner of page 4, Issue of July
10th, reading as follows: "The
