THE ISLE OF PINES.

That is a welcome intimation that the ques-
ton Of title TO the Isle of Pines is to be
promptly settled 1t does not particularly mat
ter whether this is done by ratification OF the
now pending treaty or by the negotiation and
ratification Of a new treaty. The pending treaty
has seemed to be ample for the purpose OF
safeguarding the rights Of American residents
in the island If 1t is not, Of course 1t should
be made so, Il new and more efficient con-
ventiOn should be made. What Is supremely
desirable is that Cubas title TO the island, or
the essential union Of the island with the rest
Of Cuba, rhall be permanently and indisputably
established at the earliest possible dato.
As for the agitators. cOnspiratorS and spec
ulatOrS the Isle of Pines who are working
tooth and nail against such consummaton,
they appear TO be deserving Of just about as
little favorable consideration as can be ex-
pressed by infnitesimas with a minus sign
Whatever ground may at first have existed for
the contention that the island should belong to
the United States has been more than forfeited
by the vicious conduct of the insular prOpa-
gandists With the United States government
engaged in a peculiarly delicate undertaking in
Cuba these people should at least have held
their peace for a time until the problem at
Havana was settled Instead they have multi

for annexation Of the Isle of Pines to the United
States on an equality with Porto Rico. or as
part Of Cuba, when, as it hopes. the latter
shall be annexed but for the immediate adms-

It would not be content with admission
to the Union as part OF Cuba If the latter
made state, but demands that the Isle Of Pines
