CUBA SAVES HER TERRITORY
Legal Decision as to Ownership
of Coveted Island.
Isle of Pines Loses Fight-Supreme
Court Decides 1t is Not Under
United States Rule.

Washington, D. C.-That the Isle
but Cuban, was officially and judi
cially declared by the Supreme Court
of the United States. The decision
was given in the famous case of Ed
ward J.. Pearey versus Nevada N.
Stranahan as Collector at New York,
and the opinion of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller, who
said:
"All the world knew before the
treaty of peace that the island was
an integral part of Cuba, and in
view of the joint resolution of April
20, 1898, it seems clear that the Isle
of Pines was not supposed to be one
of the other islands coded by Article
II. Those were islands not constitut-
ing an integral part of Cuba and adj
jacent to Porto Rico"
Drawing the conclusion that the
island had legitimately descended
from SPANS control to that of Cuba,
he spoke of the recognition by the
United States OF the island as Cuban
territory as follows:
~ oAC JuolliIC0 III llloJ
the Isle of Pines vas 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 it was such at
the 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
rrfnnipJoc of inIarn offnno1 1om onn1i-
cable to such coasts and shores as
those of Florida, the Bahamas and
Cuba"
He referred to the effect of the
Platt amendment, and, passing to the
status of the island with reference to
the customs, he said in conclusion:
1.-THE Isle of Pines continues at
least de facto under the jurisdiction
of Cuba, and that settles the question
before us, because, as the United
States have never taken possession of
the island as having been coded by
the treaty of peace, and as it has
been and is being governed by that
republic, it has remained foreign
country within the meaning of the
Dingley act"
Justice White concurred in the re-
suit, put LOOK sharp opt 10 lHe
courts holding on Cuba's right to
sovereignty over the Isle Of Pines in
view of the provision in the Platt
amendment declaring that while the
island is de facto Cuban territory 1t
should be made the subject of treaty
negotiations. He said that by taking
this position the court puts itself in
the attitude of contradicting itself,
for while it processes to sustain the
attitude of the legislative and eXecu-
tive departments Of the United States
toward the island, it Immediately pro-
ceeds to d;scredit the former by a de-
cision which recognizes only one pro-
per way of adjusting the matter by
treaty. Justice Holmes Endorsed JUS
tice Whites opinion.
The case was based on the impor-
tation of a few boxes of Isle of Pines
cigars by Pearcy in September, 1903,
but it's trial was from time to time
postponed in the hope that the status
of the island might be definitely fixed
by legislation or diplomacy.
