tual reserve Life Insurance company
upon the life of an unknown man.
WNch policy stipulated upon the first
page that the insured should pay a
nXed and stated premium, Subject to
other benefits and requirements else
where stated" On page two of the
policy Mr.. Hughes read a clause that
the executive of the company could
require the holder of the policy to nav
any multiple of the amount of the
premium stated on the first mage
which the committee saw fit. George
ID. Eldredge, vice-president and actI-
ary of the company, to whom Mr..
Hughes read the policy, said that the
number of such policies isued was
small.

true that he received 500, 900 worth of
New York city stock from the vaults
of the company and put check of the
central National bank for that amount
in place of 1T on January 49, 1901.
Mr. Randolph understood that the
bank wanted the stock for clients. one
of which was the Merchants Trust
company. He promised to give the
committee later the names of any Of
hcers of the New York Life Insurance
company then in the Merchants Trust
company. The deposition of George
IL. Squire, formerly financial manager
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, in which he described some of
the operations of the syndcates which
included officers of that society, was
read to the committee. Among these
officers were James w. Alexander.
James II. Hyde, Thomas D. Jordan
and w II. Mcintyre.

ISLE OF PINES
BELONGS TO CUBA
SEC. ROOT WRITES A LETTER
SETTLING QUESTION
Informs American Residents That
They Cannot Lawfully Establish
Territorial Government
There
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-The ad-
ministration dashed the hopes Of the
little band of American colonists on the
Isle of Pines who have been working
toward the separation of the island
from Cuba and its inclusion I'm the
United States, when Secretary Root,
after consultation with the president,
made public the text Of the letter which
he had addressed to Charles Raynard,
president of the American club Of the
Isle of Pines, defining the attitude of
the United States government toward
the proposed formation of territorial
government In the island as a part Cf
the United States. The secretary was
most pointed in the statements in his
letter. which is as follows:
Il have received your letter of Octo-
Der 20, in which you say: Kindly ad-
wise me at your earliest convenience
the necessary procedure to establish q
territorial form of government of the
Isle of Pines, u. S. A.
1T is no part of the duty of the sec
retary of state to give advice upon such
subjects. I think it proper, however,
to answer your inquiry, so far as it may
be necessary to remove an error under
which you appear to be resting COR
oerning 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 a territorial government in
that island. The island is lawfully sub
1ect to the control and government of
the republic of Cuba, and you and your
ne I. 4
to the laws Of that country so long az
you remain in the island. If you fail
in that obedience you will justly be
liable to prosecution by the Cuban
courts and to such punishment as may
be provided by the laws of Cuba for
such offenSe as you commit. You are
not likely to have any greater power
in the future. The treaty now pending
before the senate, if approved by that
body, will relinquish all claim of the
United States to the Isle of Pines. IN
my Judgment the United States has no
substantial claim to the Isle of Pines.
The treaty merely accords to Cuba what
is hers, in accordance with interna-
tional law and justice.
cat the time of the treaty of peace
which ended the war between the
United States and Spain, the Isle of
Pines was and had been for several
centuries a part of Cuba. [ have no
doubt whatever that it 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
President Roosevelt authorized the
pending treaty and made and signed it,,
and 1 expect to urge its confirmation.
Nor would the rejection of the pending
treaty put an end to the control of
tha tell A tu 11r
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 ii up against her will.
VERY respectfully,

MEDICAL MEN TESTIFY
Give Information as Result Of Autopsy
on Midshlpman Brsneh's
Remains
N Asenclnfed Presa.


ANNAPOLIS Nov. 2S.-The autopsy
held last Sunday on the body of the
late Midshipman James Il. Branch, ir.
bore fruit at todays session of the
court martial which Is trying Midship-
man Minor Meriwether on charges
inclusive of manslaughter i'm connec-
tion with the death of Midshipman
Branch after a fist fight with Merl-
wether. The days testimony was given
chiefly by medical men, who had been
present at the autopsy and bore upon
the question whether the death of
Branch resulted from blows from his
opponent or from his head striking the
floor of the room i'm which the fight
was held, previous testimony having
shown that Branch fell or was knocked
down several times during the en-
counter.
Testimony was also given, according
to which, although the naval academy
hospital journal shows the origin of
injuries for which midshipmen are
treated, the morning sick report sent
by the hospital officers to the super
intendent of the academy does not, and
% witness giving testimony in this con-
nection said he knew of no inspection
Of the hospital journal being made by
the authorities.
COunSel IOf MerlNelIler announced
that. after putting the accused on the
stand in his own defense tomorrow,
they will close the case.
During the course of the proceedings
today United States District Attorney
John G. Rose, who assisted in the pros
ecution. gave notice to the court that
he would object TO any further evidence
to the effect that Branch's life might
have been saved by different method
of treatment This fact, Mr.. Rose said,
would, if proved, have no bearing on
the case.

Gloomy News From Manchuria

The reports from the Manchurian
army are also dsquieting. Many Of
ficers and soldiers involved in the re-
volt at Harbin have been arrested and
a number of agitators who arrived there
from European Russia were caught red
handed by Cen Linevitch.
From Tifis and KarS, Trans-Cau-
casia, come reports that the soldiers arc
taking a stand against firing on the peo-
pie. and private dispatches from Odessa
say the soldiers and sailors at a meet
ing held at the university last night de-
cided in the event of the Sebastopol
mutineers bringing the Black Sea fleet
to Odessa, to join the mutineers and
take possession of the city.
The government announced today
that unless the mutineers at Sebasto-
pol surrender before midnight armed
force will be used. But there is grave
doubt here whether General Baron
Meller Gakoelskie, commander of the
Seventh army corps, who is in charge
of the situation, dare put the soldiers
to the test Of firing on their comrades.
1t is significant that, although the
crews of local ships refused to join the
mutineers, they declined, according to
the dispatches, to carry out orders to
put to sea. This may indicate their
purpose to stand by and meet force
with force in the event of the soldiers
and artillery ashore marching on the
sailors barracks.
