CHARGES DENIED.
Municipal Council Of the Isle of
Pines Issues Statement.

Havana, Nov 19,-The Municipal Council Of
the Isle of Pines has issued lengthy state
ment denying the charges made by J. II. Kee-
nan, of Pittsburg, and others that the island is
in condition bordering on anarchy and is with
out proper courts schools. facilities for the pro-
lection of life and property, etc. The state
ment says that these have all been provided and
that, although various public improvements
necessary, the government has done more than
the small revenues of the island warranted.
1t alleges that the records show the 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 the
payment Of small installments. It alleges, also,
that the records show the amount of taxes paid
by Americans to be small as compared with the
cost OF the public improvements demanded.
The officers of the principal Isle of Pines land
companies, whose offices are in Havana say
that while they believe the island should be
considered United States territory, they have no
complaint to make of the Cuban government
