DENY STATEMENT
MADE BY KEENAN,
DlTloN BORDERING UPON AN
ARcHY--AMER PAY LIT
TIE TAXES.

/ Havana, Nov l9-The municipal
council of the Isle Cf Pines issued a
lengthy statement denying the charges
made by j II, Keenan, of Pittshurg
and others, that the island is in con
dtion bordering on anarchy and with
Out proper courts, schools, facilities
for The protection of life and property,
etc.
The statement claims these have all
been provided for and, although var.
ions public improvements are neces-
sary, the government has done more
than the small revenues OF the island
warranted.
II is alleged thar The records show
actual ownership by Americans of
lands in the island TO be far smaller
than has been asserted since most of
such lands are held ON options or on
payments Of small installments. ana
that they also show the amount Of
taxes paid by The Americans 10 be
very small compared with the cost of
public improvements demanded.
The officers of the principal Isle of
Pines Land Company, whose Offices
are in Havana say while they be-
lieye the island should be considered
United States territory, they have no
complaint TO make of the Cuban GOV
ernment
