ISLE OF PINES CUBAN SOIL
United States Supreme Court Renders I'm
portant Decision Regarding Island
FINAL DECISION IN IMPORT CASE
Island Considered an Integral Part
of Cuba and is Not Cow
cred by Treaty of
Paris.

WASHINGTON, April s.-That the Isle
Of Pines is not American territory was off,
cially and judicially declared today by the
supreme court Of the United States The
decision was rendered in the famous case
OF Edward j Pearcy against Nevada N.
Stranahan, collector Of the port at New
York, and the opinion Of the court was
announced by Chief Justice Fuller, who
said that up to the Paris treaty the Isle
OF Pines had been considered az an integral
part OF Cuba and that It could not be held
70 be covered by article Il OF that treaty,
which included only islands in the vicinity
OF Porto Rico
The case originated in connection with the
Importation OF a few boxes OF cigars by
Pearcy in September 1903 but its hearing
by the court was from time to time post
poned in the hope that the status Of the
Island might he definitely fixed by legisla-
tion or diplomacy. The cigars we're made
in the Isle OF Pines OF tobacco grown there,
and when they arrived Pearcy refused
to pay duty on them on the ground that
they were Of domestic origin. They were
seized and Pearcy appealed to the United
States court, where he received no relief,
as that court sustained a demurrer filed by
! the government and dismissed the appeal.
Speaking OF the status OF the island at
the date Of the treaty Of peace with Spain.
the chief Justice said: "All the world
knew that 1t was an integral part Of Cuba.
and in view Of the joint resolutions OF April
/ 20, 1898, It seems clear that the Isle OF
Pines was not supposed to be one of the
| other Islands ceded by article H."
| Drawing the conclusion that the island
had legitimately descended from Spain 5
control to that Of Cuba. he spoke of the
| recognition by the United States OF the
| Island as Cuban territory, as follows;
| I'VE are justified In assuming that the
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
[ 1t was such at the time OF the execution
Of the treaty and it's ratification and that
the treaty did not provide otherwise in
terms, TO say nothing OF general principles
Of international law applicable to such
cases and such shores as those of Florida,
the Bahamas and Cuba
THE Isle Of Pines continues at least de
facto Under the jurisdiction of the govern
meht Of the republic OF Cuba, and that
settles the question before US"

TAFT TALKS TO INSURGENTS
Complete Census of Island Must BE
Taken Before Election
~ Held.

HAVANA. April S-The members Of the
committee Of insurgents with whom Sec
retary Taft arranged for peace in cuba re-
Gently had conference with the secre-
tary today lasting from 10 to 80 o'clock.
Secretary Taft refused to give his visitors
the date Of the withdrawal Of the American
forces from Cuba.
At the CLOSE Of the conference senors
Zsyas and General Jose NJ Gomez in
formed the Associated Press that Mr. Taft
had declared It impossible to hold elections
in Cuba until complete census Of the
island had been taken. which will occupy
about four months. He added that munich
pal and provincial elections would probably
be held in September, but he would not
give any probable date for the presidential
elections.
The secretary met the conservatives this
afternoon and discussed the insular situa-
ton. He said that owing to economical
conditions he considered a national election
at early date to he unwise and recon-
mended that II be postponed until the result
of the municipal md provincial elections
be known The conservative representa-
tives expressed their willingness to leave
l all to the good Judgment Of the United
/ States.
/ Representatives Of all the leading banks
J Of Cuba called upon Secretary Taft and
I asked him to give them one or two years
notice before the holding Of national cleo
/ tions. claiming that unless this were done
; the effect upon commercial conditions in
/ the islands would be disastrous.
/ The bankers urged the secretary not to
change the present currency to American
money, claiming that to do so would in
crease the cost Of living 12 per cent. The
[ committee OF the Chamber Of Commerce
spoke to the secretary in a similar vein.
Secretary Taft said to the Associated
/ Press tonight:
Various committees waited on me this
afternoon. 1t is impossible to state just
what took place, but the consensus of
, opinion seems that 1t would be wise and
| even necessary to take a census before at
tempting to hold an election, not only under
the present provisional government, but
under any subsequent government. 1t
would be wise, in order to test the condi-
ton of the country and the operation OF
the election law. to hold preliminary cleo
tion, municipal and not national I have
promised to confer with Governor Magoon
and to consult President Roosevelt with a
view to further conference with the liberals
I and the conservatives
"Other matters are pending concerning
which l cannot speak, in the first place
because nothing would be gained thereby
and also, as the Spaniards say, 1t is not
convenient
There is a general impression. gathered
by what Secretary Taft said today, that
the American occupation Of Cuba will last
for another year at least.
