law which would make it impossible to

ISLE OF PINES
TREATY REPORTS
Views of the Minority Represented
by Senator Morgan and Sena-
tor w. A. Clark.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate in
executive session today made public
the majority and minority reports from
the committee on foreign relations of
the treaty given to Cuba the title of the
Isle Of Pines. The majority views sub
stantiaIly as given in the majority re-
port have already been published. The
minority report, which is signed by
Senators Morgan and w. A. Clark, up
holds the contentious of Americans who
have invested on the island, that they
were warranted in doing so by the Ian
guage of the Platt amendment and the
Cuban constitution, as well as early an
noUncements made by Assistant Secre-
tary of War MeikeIjOhn that the title
was vested in the United States by the
treaty Of Paris. The minority report
adds that if the island is turned over to
Cuba il will be unsafe to leave Ameri-
cans there, for If they were maltreated
this government would be compelled
to protect them. It is stated that from
the hour this government again sent
soldiers to Cuba the destiny of that re-
public would be that of Ireland or
Egypt and the republic would disap-
pear.
Amounts to d Sale.
Senator Morgan, who drafted the re-
port, contends that the adjustment of
title in fact amounts to a sale, which
congress alone is empowered to make.
In that respect the report says:
''The treaty row under consideration
has become q proceeding against our
own people in q more pronounced sense
than it can be regarded as a means of
doing justice to Cuba, and in the
changed conditions that have so rapidly
occurred and TO meet new conditions
that are extremely difficult and embar-
RAISING if not dangerous to all con-
cerned, It is safer, wiser and more just
to submit our present difference with
Cuba to arbitration. It is still better
than congress should settle the question
of title by law and make provision for
taking proper care of the people and
the interests OF both governments,
whether we retain the title or concede
it to Cuba The Plat amendment is
not broad enough to cover the political
situation, and the treaty making power
cannot make it broader without the &C
ton of congress"

The chief of police Of Washington. he
said, has reported 50S wife beatings in the
past two years. Adequate punishment, he
said, should be provided Mr.. Adams said
he did not advocate the whipping post as
it existed in Delaware.
