TO HASTEN ACTION
AMERICANS ON ISLE OF PINES
WANTED CONGRESS TO DE-
eide SOVEREIGNTY
Former Iowa Woman Writes to Mrs.
j. o. Hunneil, of EIdon-ReIatons
Between Pneros and Americans
AS Friendly AS Ever-Fruit Cheap.

Mrs. Minnie H. Teeple, Nueva Gero-
ma, Isle of Pines, in an interesting let
ter to Mrs. j. o. Hunnell Sr.,of Eldon,
has the following to say regarding the
recent territorial convention:
1--WE were much amused by the
stand some of the papers took against
this poor little island. 1t is perfectly
ridiculous 1t has all been sort OF
tempest in teapot so far. The Amer
leans here had several meetings and
elected man to send to congress to
represent the isle, and to see that the
question of the sovereignty of the isle
was brought upNat this session of con-
gress. You see this matter has been
neglected for three years now and 1t
was thought that these measures
would hasten the action of congress
upon the matter. All that talk Of
'hoisting the American flag and all
that sort of thing was just somebody's
Imagination There was no trouble
of any kind and the relations between
the Pineros and the Americans are as
friendly as ever.
I'VE like it very much here. The
people are very nice and have been
just as lovely to us as could be. Of
course, socially the island is not very
much but we have been SO busy that
we have had little time for anything
but our work anyway. You will prob
ably be surprised to learn that Nc
Gregor Of the American hotel here, Is
now serving six years term in the
Minnesota state penitentiary. He was
a cashier in bank and was short

real name is Alfred Buck.
Fruit Is Cheap.
"Oranges are ripe and we can get
the very best ones for one dollar,
Spanish, per hundred The pineap-
pies also are delicious and very cheap.
The Campbell is still making the run
between Batabano and the isle but a
large steamer is being built for here
Ind will be brought on about February
1. Every boat brings a number of
people who intend to locate here"
