ISLE OF PINES
CUTS LOOSE
Led by Missourian, Americans
There Form Territorial
Government.
THEY APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT
ASK FOR SQUARE DEAL

Havana, Nov. 1G-Led by a St
Louis man, T. B. Anderson, the peo-
pie of the Isle of Pines, the little
island just to the southwest Cf Cuba,
have seeded from the government of
Cuba.
They have set up a government of
their own as a territory of the United
States, and appealed to Theodore
Roosevelt to indorse their action.
The action was fomented and led by
the Americans on the island, compris-
ing about one-third If the inhabitants,
who influenced the other two-thirds.
They charge that the Cuban govern
ment has never done anything for them
or taken any interest in the island or
its affairs except to collect taxes
Say They Were Sold out.
They go further, and say that they
were promised, when the Cuban gov
eminent was instituted, that the Isle
of Pines would not be included there
in, and vehemently end bitterly charge
Gen Wood, who was then governor
general of Cuba, with having sold them
out
They now come forward with the
claim that Of right they are part and
parcel of United States territory and
asked to be taken in.
They have organized a territorial
government, and chosen all the officers
therefor except those which are APP
pointed by the president CT the United
States, and these places they have
asked President Roosevelt to fill.
Cuban authority has been entirely
ignored, and the island will be con-
Quoted as a territory of the United
States until formally received.
If the island is rejected then it will
form an independent government of
it's own. Under no circumstances will
it again become part of Cuba.

The Letter to Roosevelt.

by the seceders to President Roosevelt:
"Nueva Corona Isle of Pines, Nov.
IA 1905.-Mr. Theodore Roosevelt,
President, Washington, D. c.: Dear
Sir-The people of this island, having
purchased hcmes under the treaty OF
Paris, believing it was United States
territory, and having waited over
three years for recognition Of their
rights as American citizens, fearing a
continuation of these conditions, and
feeling alarm at the condition of Cuba
during the coming election, have taken
preliminary steps for the establishment
of a territorial government under the
constitution of the United States, be-
lieving this the proper step for us to
take and the most effective way to
receive Justice and equity from our ma
tional aw-making body, also relying
upon you, our president, for a square
deal.

BANK SHOWS ITS MONEY.
Institution in italian Quarter of
Philadelphia Makes Dis
play of Cash.

The banks of the Little Italy are
among the most curious sights in that
quarter of the town because of the
kind of business they do and the va
rious purposes they serve, as an
nounced by the signs on them and
by reason, too, of the displays they
sometimes make in their show win
dows, says the Philadelphia Record.
Perhaps the most unique in this re-
Bpect is the establishment of Giovanni
Recchione, at No. 721 Carpenter street,
said to be the oldest Italian bank in
the city. Mr.. Recchione's display con-
sists of real money Of all denomina-
tions, paper and coin, and OF about
every government in the world
The notes and pieces are spread out
In such a way that the value Of most
of them may be seen from the street,
and it is a particularly good advertise
ment because 1t convinces the deposit
tor that Mr.. Recchione has the goods.
The display is separated from the
street not only by the window glass,
but also by wire netting. and it is
on view every day and night

HATcHED IN POLAR WINTER
Bird of the Antarctic Region Which
Has But Recently Become
Known.

DR.. E. F. Wilson's lecture at the
Royal Institution on the emperor pen
gum was illustrated by skins, eggs and
a number Of lantern pictures of the
birds and their rookeries, reports the
London Telegraph Of recent date.
This fine species, larger than the
king penguin, which has been exhib-
tied in the Geological gardens, was
discovered during Capt. Cooks second
expedition. but until the return re-
Gently Of the Antarcic expedition,
nothing was known Of its life history
or habits. The curious thing is that
the birds are Matched In the depth of
the Polar winter.
A single egg is laid, which is brood
ed between the birds feet and the soft
plumage Of the body. The chick is
clothed in grayish white down, which
is moulted after five months, and
when about a year and a half old the
immature plumage is exchanged for
that of the adult. One young bird was
taken on board the Discovery and kept
alive for FIVE months

HAS MULE-FooTED HOGS.
Kansas Senator Has Drove Of Porkers
with Remarkable Under
pinning.

Not many people know that prob
ably the only herd OF "mule-footed"
hogs Of any size is located in Kansas
and Is the property Of a state senator.
The herd is IN Labette county, near
Labette. and belongs TO Senator w. J.
Connor, reports the Topeka Capital
Senator Connor has been breeding
these hogs for a number Of years, and
says they will live and prosper where
an ordinary hog will starve to death.
The name "mule-foot" comes from the
fact that the hoof is not split like that
Of an ordinary hog. It does not great
ly resemble the hoof Of a mule. except
that Il is round.
These hogs. some 80 years ago, says
Senator Connor. were originally
brought here from the South Sea is
lands and turned loose in the Kimish
and Little River mountains, in the
Choctaw Nation, for the use Of the In
dians, and have lived and prospered
there up 10 the present time. They are
now very nearly extinct. Many OF these
hogs are sold TO museums. others are
shipped 70 Kansas City market. and
eight or ten are butchered each year
for home consumption on the farm"

Pound Dead.

George Ross, a young man who lives
at Park Hill, six miles south Of here
was found dead last Wednesday night
at the Mckee wagon yard. The par
ticulars as we get them are as follows
eGeorge Ross and George Brewer had
been somewhere In the country and
on arriyingnear town met two or three
parties, In a hack, those in the hack
concluded TO return to town with Ross
and Brewer, Ross got in the hack and
one from the hack rode with Brewer
in the buggy to town, and went to
the Mckee wagon yard where the
teams were put up. Ross remained
in the hack Sometime after midnight
the Mckee boys thinking Ross had
had time to sober up, went ont to the
hack and TO their horror found him
dead, still sitting in she buggy. il is
the talk-but we can't youch for the
truthfulness Of the report-that Ross
and several Others had been drinking
quite freely wednesday, and had drank
a lot Of extracts among other things
aud it is thought he got hold Of wood
alcohol, perhaps. II is indeed pity
our young men win persist In drinking
this poisonous stuff when they know
what it will do for them. Ross was a
young man liked BY everybody. He
was great grand son OF chief John
Ross, and was well connected every
way. Cherokee Advocat.

inevitable-and their children are added
to the family. There are always wild
owed aints, other grandparents-no
relative is ever left to shift for himself
In India--so that households Of $50 are
not uncommon Add almost as many
servants, and we have some idea Of the
occupation and cares of the mistress of
such a home. The servants quarters
rroundthey yardor compound, and the
ladies OF the household care for them
as did the stately danes Of old Virginia
in the plantation life before the war.
The great zenana of courtyards stretch
back to fruit and vegetable gardens,
and there are tanks or artificial ponds
where ladies and children battle in Sc
clusion. BIossoming trees rise above
hedges that jealously guard these sa-
cred retreats, where a family may sport
in private with freedom unknown TO
us, and suited to their shy, poetic, play
full natures, that only unfold when with
each other; caring as little to see the
world outside as to be seen by it."

WHITE MAN
DECISION
Court of Claims Holds Up Find
ing in Suit of lntermarried
Cherokee Citizens.

The long delay In rendering a de-
cision in the case Of the intermarried
citizens Of the Cherokee Nation by
the United States court Of claims has
caused a great deal of uneasiness and
- Ejaculation among that class Of citi-
zens. A decision was confidently ex-
pected several weeks ago, but the
prospect now is that it will be some
time yet before a decision is made
public.

Intermarried Citizens Association,
Under date Of last Saturday, writes
concerning the case;

Dear Sir:-I have just been enabled
today to find out what is holding up
the decision Of the adopted white case,
The passage Of the Indian Appropria-
tion bill allowing an appeal in the
case has complicated the matter In
the minds Of the court, and the court
Is uncertain whether or not all the
parties are before it, and we are now
preparing stipulation so as to get 1t
properly before the court. Ii will
take at least a week to get this stlpu-
lation all around, and have il signed.
SO that you will see that we cannot
expect to hear from the "white man
