The Petition of the Plneros.

If the document prepared for submits
sion to the American Administration may
be taken as characteristic of the Ameri-
can settlers in the Isle of Pines it would
be in order for all good people to con-
gratulate Cuba if she got rid of them by
ceding the island to the United States or
to any other Power that would take it
and the people on it off her hands. The
Incorporate statements and the insult
ing tone Of this communication are ex-
tremely offensive.
The Ninth Reason given in support
of claim which easily falls under what
the late Mr.. MCKINLEY called criminal
aggression" may bo quoted in illustra-
ton. 1t runs as follows: Because hcme-
steaders think the good faith of the
United States is involved in retention and
will not silently submit to being sold or
bartered like so many cattle or swine
and being ruled by an inferior people
Thus do "We the American people of the
Isle of Pines, read the riot act to the
American Government, threaten dis
turbance and grossly insult people to
whom the American people are, in the
words of Mr.. MCKINLEY, bound by "ties
Of singular intimacy"
These claimants still further prejudice
their case by the use, in their petition,
of statements which are inaccurate, mis-
leading, and in some instances so mac
curate that they might with no undue
stretching OF the word be termed false.
For instance, they state, under Reason
First, that the plenipotentiaries Of the
United States and Of Cuba drew up and

The rascally partisans who tampered
with the mail sent from Frankfort to JOSEPH
@. S. BLACKBURN at Washington by ad-
miring constituents down on the farm in
the old Kentucky home should be hunted
down, if need be to the headwaters of Salt
River itself. The postal authorities can
have no tolerance Of, or weakened for
bearanoe for, any ardent Kentucky parti-
sans who in time Of profound peace-a
condition not always chronic in the public
life Of Kentucky-resort to the device Of
tampering with the letters Of the Congress-
ional Hotspur. 1t is sma1 business for
