L.. =. GOVERNMENT TO PAY DEN
MARK S25. 100000 FOR WEST
INDIES.
DEAL ON SINCE CIVIL WAR
Secretary Seward Tried tn Purchase
Islands in tS65-Roosevelt Ac-
cepted Price of $4,000

NaSnlnSlOn, July &0.-ll was OF
ficially announced at the White
House today that negotiations are
practically completed for the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies by
the United States from Denmark for
$25,OOO,000. The treaty closing the
transaction, which will probably be
signed today, was sent to the SEN
ate.
While the details are not given
out il is understood that the United
States will come into the immediate
possession of the islands. Word
from Denmark says that the treaty
is practically certain of ratification
by the Danish parliament.
The negotiations, continuation
of conversations carried on unsuc-
cessfully in 1901, and again in 1910,
were resumed several months ago.
1t is understood that Denmark, feel
ing the pinch OF war, desired to rid
herself of the island, not as a finan-
cial proposition, but to eliminate one
troublesome element in maintaining
her neutrality. The United States
in 1910 signified willingness to buy,
but the offer made by Denmark then
was withdrawn before any conclusion
was reached.
~, Tho fCIa Ac
are said by naval officials to possess
excellent advantages as a naval base
and coaling station. In the archi-
pelago are the islands of st, Thomas,
St. Choix and St. John. The price
offered by the United States in 1901
was 100000.
Early Treaty Failed.
The acquisition of the islands by
the United States has been the sub
ject of diplomatic negotiation since
the Civil War. Secretary Seward
began negotiations for their acquisi-
ton in 1865, because of the naval
operations of the war had shown the
necessity of base in the West In
dies. A treaty was made and rati-
fed by Denmark, but the United
States Senate failed to act on il in
proper time and it lapsed. President
Wilson, in his volume on Congress
sional Government, written about
1888, referred to the incident as the
"treaty-marring overpower of the
Senate"
Intellectual efforts were made to
reopen the negotiations during Pres
ident Grants administration, and in
1902, soon after President Roose-
welt came into Office, Secretary Hay
took UP the subject. and Denmark
offered the islands for $4,000, 900.
The United States this time ratified
the treaty. but the Danish Senate de-
feated it. 1t was said at the time in
diplomatic circles that German oppo-
sition influential in the Danish Par
lament was responsible for the de-
feat of the plan. Later judgment,
however, attributed the opposition to
Danish aristocrats. This opposition
is still said to exist, and it is said if
the proposed treaty is ratified by
both Governments the transfer will
be submitted to the people of the
islands. In the first negotiation in
1865 they approved a change.
