IN VESTORS MAY
LOSE AN ISLAND

4 party of American investors, includ-
ing Herbert J. Browne, of this city, have
lost their charters to property on Cayo
AvaIos Island, belonging to Cuba, accord
ing to a special letter sent to this city
yesterday. According to the letter, the
charter. relating TO the selling of valua-
BILE guano deposits, has been annulled by
the government of Cuba.
Mr.. Browne, when seen last night, de-
clared himself absolutely ignorant OF the
action supposed to have been taken by
the Cuban government and branded the
dispatch as an absolute falsehood' say
ing that had such steps been taken he
would have been Immediately notified.
1T would have been impossible for the
government to annul our charter ne
added, without giving us some prellm-
nary warning of their intention. The
fact that the Cuban Legation here has
not been informed of the action is al
most absolutely complete proof that the
report sent out is a pure fabrication.
Mr. Browne will visit the Cuban Min
lister to-day in an effort to get further
details of the alleged annulment.
Cayo Avalos Island, originally known
as ''Varty Island" is one of the group
belonging to the Isle of Pines archipel-
ago. 1t lies in the Caribbean Sea, and
was discovered and formally taken pos
session of by William A. Varty and
Lewis Davidson in 1900.
Varty later succeeded in interesting
Browne and a party of friends in the
enterprise. Rich iron and manganese
mines were discovered and an immense
deposit of bird guano. r.
Browne has been at work several years
developing the island and exploiting the
mines.
