ISLE Of PINES
NOT AMERICAN
Supreme Court Hands Down an
Opinion Which Sets the
Matter at Rest.

Washington, April S.-That the Isle of
Pines is not American territory was Off
cially and jUdcially decided today by the
supreme court of the United States The
decision was rendered in the case of Ed
ward J. Pearcy VS.. Nevada y Strana-
han, collector of the port of New York
and the opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller who said
that up to the Paris treaty the Isle Of
Pines had been considered as an integral
part of Cuba and that it could not be held
to be covered by article two of that
treaty. which included only islands in the
vicinity of Porto Rico.
The case originated in connection with
the importation of q few boxes of cigars
by Pearcy in September. 1903, but it's hear
ing by the court was from time to time
passed in the hope that the status of the
island might be definitely decided by leg
islation or diplomacy. The cigars were
made i'm the Isle of Pines of tobacco
grown there and when they arrived Pear
cy refused to pay duty on the ground that
they were of domestic origin. The col
lector thereupon seized them and Pearcy
appealed to the United States circuit
court, where he secured no relief, as that
court sustained a demurrer filed by the
government and dismissed the appeal.
Clearly Belongs to Cuba.
Speaking of the status of the island at
the date Of the treaty of peace with Spain
the chief justice said:
''AI the world knew it was an integral
part of Cuba. and. in view of the joint
resolution of April 20, 1898. il seems clear
that the Isle of Pines was not supposed
TO oe one of the "Other islands" ceded by
article II.
Drawing the conclusion that the island
had legitimately descended from Spain's
control to that of Cuba. he spoke of the
recognition by the United States of the
sland as Cuban territory, as follows:
1--WE are justified m assuming that TIE
Isle of Pines was always treated by the
presidents representative in Cuba as an
integral part of Cuba This was indeed
to be expected in view of the fact that
il was such at tic time of the execution
of the treaty and its ratification, and that
the treaty did not provide otherwise in
terms to say nothing of general principles
Of international law applicable to such
coasts and shores as those of Florida. the
Bahamas and Cuba.
THE Isle of Pines continues at least no
factO under the jurisdiction iof the gov
eminent of the republic of Cuba and that
settles the question before us"
