THE ISLE OF PINES TREATY
Cuban Government Would Doubtless
be Unsuccessful in Securing Cession
of the Island. Largely Inhabited by
Americans.

Enough coal has been discovered in
the Island of Ba.an, of the Philip
pines group, to supply the army, the
navy and the Philippines government
with a good quality of fuel for a pc
~iod of $50 years according to the re-
port of Brig. Gen. Humphrey, quarter
master general of the army. The es-
innate has been made on the theory
that 100000 tons of coal would be
used a year. The coal has been tested
on some Of the interisland transports
with favorable results. Gen. Hum
phrey makes plea to congress for
$4,000 to buy the coal lands, on
which an option is now held by the
government. The option expires on
March l next year, and the necessary
$4,000 will be an item in the urgent
deficiency bill. The island of Batan
is off the southwest coast of Luzon,
and at the entrance of the Gulf of
Albay. At present the coal used in
the Philippines by the army, the navy
and the insular government comes
from Australia and Japan The
freightage is very high, and by the
time the coal is delivered it is very ex-
pensive. Then, too, owing to the ma
rine conditions in the Orient, it has
been found necessary to keep a large
reserve supply on hand. At Batan the
coal is easily obtainable, and at an not
unusual cost docks may be built which
can easily be utilized by vessels of
the largest size. cit is estimated, -
says Gen. Humphrey, "that by es-
tablishing a MINI and coaling station
at this point an aggregate saving
would be effected to the three branches
of the government, based on the price
of coal at Manila, of $4,000 per
years"
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1905-11-24

Information derived from those who
are interested in the isle of Pines sit
uation, and who have been recently in
Cuba, indicate that there is much rea-
son for thinking that the Cuban gov
ernment would be unsuccessful in Sc
curing the cession to develop along
the lines they are taking now.
1t is said that the American inhab-
itants of the Isle of Pines will or
ganize a provisional territorial gov
ernment and will shortly send a rep
resentative to Washington to demand
recognition before the opening of the
coming session of congress. Jnas-
much as the island is now largely own
ed and largely inhabited by Americans
it is anticipated that it will be possi-
bic to stir up much popular feeling In
the United States in opposition to the
Isle. of Pines treaty. This treaty al
ready has a substantial number of SEN
ators opposed to it, and the transfer
Of a small number of votes would
probably put it into difficult situa-
tion.

GAINESVILLE, GREENE COUNTY MISS FRIDAY NovEMBER


Secretary Taft ana the general staff
of the army are likely to clash over
the proposition to increase the artil-
lery forces at the expense OF the cav
airy. If the secretary urges such a
measure, as he is expected to do, there
will be no end of bitterness. For a
long time the war department has
been complaining of the lack Of
enough artillerymen. The shortage is
felt especially in the coast artillery.
The Notifications about New York, for
instance, lack 20 per cent of having
enough men to man properly the heavy
guns. All along the coast the situa-
tion is as bad. Last winter, Senator
Scott of West Virginia, who has a
son in the artillery, introduced a bill
to transfer 6ye regiments Of cavalry
to the artillery, tlias remedying the
lack of artillerymen without increas-
ing the strength of the army as q
whole. This bill went to the senate
committee on military affairs, and nev-
er saw the light again. Of course the
cavalry officers who were watching the
bill exerted d quiet influence against
Not single foreigner has been ap-
pointed to the American consular SER
vice abroad since Secretary Root as
sumed Office. With the intention of
meetings the demands of the
business world for a general i'm
provement of the consular service as
far as he can without waiting for con-
yressional action, this marks one of
the reforms that the secretary has
adopted. Aside from the fact that
foreigner naturally might be expected
to take less interest than an American
in the development OF our trade
abroad, it is felt that in time of polit-
lcal stress, where international rela-
tions might become strained, no such
test should be placed upon the 10y
atty of the foreign consular agent to
his native country as would be impos-
ed by requiring him to do his full du-
ty to the country which merely en-
ploys him.

WARNS AGAINST BITE OF GIRL
German Scientist Says Wound May Be
Worse Than Snakes.

Middleton. Conn.,, Oct 13.-PrOfes-
sor W. D. Miller of the University OF
Berlin at Wesleyan today announced
il lecture that a bite of a pretty girl
would often bring a quicker and more
horrible death than the bite of ser
spent. Professor Miller, who has made
a special study of the bacteria OF the
mouth. said that only a short time
ago he eXeprimented on beautiful
girl in Germany and found that an
arrow dipped in saliva from her
mouth would send its victim in death
throes more terrible than one dipped
in the venom of the most deadly
snake.

spent OUR MONEY"
Mccarthy of Nebraska Protests
Against Bernhard Dinner.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. In the
house Mr.. Mccarthy Rep., Nebl held
that insurance was commerce. Since
the supreme court in the case of Paul
versus Virginia decided otherwise, con-
ditions of insurance had changed, and
he believed that on Il new presentation
the supreme court would take Il differ
ent view.
One of the new conditions men
toned by Mccarthy was the dinner
given last Sunday night by James III.
Hyde to Nine. Bernhardt, (which
cost" he said, from $4,000 to $4,000,
while at the same time, it may be, wo-
men and children were dying of star
walton in the same precinct where the
dinner was given. Had he spent that
sum in the purchase of the necessities
of life for sufferers probably nothing
would have been said, but when he
spends it to make himself solid as a
good fellow with Sarah Bernhardt we
have a right to complain, for it is our
money"
Mr.. Mccarthy invoked federal con-
troll of these corporations because
states had been so woefully lax in
doing anything with them.

PANIC IN CHICAGO.
Fire Squad Goes Down With Fac
tory Wall-0ne Dead.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-One fireman was
killed and several employees may have
lost their lives in a fire which destroy
ed the enamel sign factory of the
Charles w. Schonk company here last
night. Until the ruins of the building
have been searched it will not be posi-
lively known whether any of the en-
ployees were killed either in the explo-
sion, which started the fire, or by the
falling OF the walls and floors, which
followed soon after.
When the fire was at its height one
of the walls suddenly collapsed, and a
number of firemen were precipitated in
the debris. With the exception of Lieu
tenant Henry Bassett of truck com
pany No. ia, who was crushed to
death, all of the firemen escaped with a
severe shaking up. A number of the
employees were injured in the panic
Don after the fire broke out, and for a
time there was all sorts of rumors as
to the number of persons killed.
The loss IN the building, which was
destroyed, and the contents is esti-
mated at $250,000.
