More About the Isle Of Pines.


The declaration of independence
which the American residents of the
Isle of Pines have issued is bringing
out some interesting things regarding
the status of that little island. In dis
cussing the subject most writer's have
assumed that the United States by
some treaty arrangement had formally
recognized the island as a part of
Cuba, and so given up its authority
over it which was given when Spain
abandoned to us her American posses
sions at the close of the war. in 1898.
Such, however. it seems is not the
case. The island itself was not
specifically mentioned in the treaty of
Paris, but was included among the
"other islands," to which Spain relin-
quished it's sovereignty. When the
United States Senate. passed the So
called Platt amendment. in 1900, by
whose provisions the relationship of the
United States and the new Cuban
republic is defined, it was specifically
provided i'm the sixth section that the
Isle of Pines shall he omitted from the
proposed constitutional boundaries of
Cuba, the title thereto being left to
future adjustment by treaty" This
provision plainly leaves the island I'M
der the sovereignty of the United
States government to which it was
coded by Spain under the provisions of
the treaty of Paris. Since that time
the Senate, in which alone lies the
treaty power. has not taken up the
matter of the island
1t seems. however. that when Cover
nor Wood surrendered the island Of
Cuba to the newly organized republic.
he omitted, doubtless inadvertently, to
reserve the island in which the present
trouble has arisen. OF course, he had
no authority from this government in
Offering the Isle of Pines to the Cuban
republic, since the Plat amendment
had specifically provided that the
status of the island should be deter
mined by future treaty, but he seems
to have done SO, and through this act
have come the present complications.
The Cuban government has been taxing
the residents of the Isle of Pines dur
ing the past few years without au-
thority. and has made bad matter
worse by refusing to give the residents
any proportionate returns.
1t is not strange. under the circum-
stances. that the residents of the
island. particularly the American citi-
zens who own most of the property and
who are in control of affairs there, are
looking to Washington for relief The
whole affair is an unfortunate mixup,
but there seems no room for doubt that
the island is still American property
since nobody with authority to do so
has released it from the sovereignty of
our government. President Palma of
Cuba probably possesses enough good
sense to see the situation in it's true
light and will assist our government i'm
righting the wrong which has been
done. The matter will doubtless re-
ceive prompt attention at the coming
session of Congress-

Hunters and woodsmen who have
spent much time in the Maine woods
this fall are commenting earnestly on
the great increase in the number of
bobcats in the woods. These animals.
which few years ago were met but
rarely are now so numerous in some
parts Of the State that person can go
but a short distance through the
woods without meeting one of them.
They are getting big and savage too
and are prospecting at a great rate I'M
der the new manner of things which
has existed since the bounty was re-
moved from them a short time ago.
The place the cats are reported from in
the greatest numbers is down in
Washington county. They have al
ways been numerous there but this
year they are particularly so. Many
of the animals have been killed but
their numbers do not show any signs of
diminishing. Places have been found
where the big cats have pulled down
deer and made meal off the carcass
and this gives the hunters cause for
concern. The reports Of wolves COM
ing back to the State are put in the
shade by the reports of the increasing
numbers of these long-legged and
short-t tailed cats. The Maine bob-cat
travels under variety of names. The
old hunters speak of the animal as the
lucivee. others call it the lynx, while
the term bob-cat is most commonly ap-
piled. An adult bob-cat is a grayish
colored animal. with long legs, round
head characteristic Of the cat family,
small ears and stubby tail. An aver
age sized bob-cat will stand IS inches
high. though he may not appear near
so tall because of his crouching gait,
and will weigh about 30 pounds. The
teeth are those of the other members
OF the cat tribe. long. sharp. and set in
powerful jaws.
