of the hidden treasures of some pirate
crew who were unable to return and
claim their ill-gOtten wealth. Even
now there is more or less desultOry
search made from time to time by
some of the natives for pirate treas
ures supposed to be buried in the
caves and along the shores of the
island.
In 1776 the Spanish crown made a
grant of the entire isle to a retired
Spanish naval officer, who at his
death left seven sons, among whom
the Isle of Pines was divided. From
the original grant down to the Span
iSh-American war the isle was the
home of Spanish ariStOcratS who had
large interests in Cuba. When Cuba
and Porto Rico were lost to Spain, the
leading inhabitants of the Isle of
Pines, being pure Spanish, regarding
the Cubans as interiors, were very de-
sirous, as the lesser of two evils, that
the sovereignty of the isle pass to the
United States. There was inserted in
the treaty of Paris, negotiated with
| Spain, a clause which President Nc
Kinley interpreted as ceding the Isle
of Pines to the United States.
Sent Many Men to the War.
The Isle of Pines is extremely pa
| toward winning the war. While the
| American population is less than five
| thousand, and the percentage Of the
men who are over the draft age has
been above normal, owing to the fact
that many were originally attracted
by its climatic and health advantages,
nevertheless it boasts service flag
| Of over two hundred stars. Many
bright young men have enlisted In va
| riouS branches Of the service. The
women Of the isle in their Red Cross
work have raised thousands of dollars.
In fact, more actual money to date
has been raised here than has been
secured and contributed by the Amer
lean women In all Cuba.
While all the wealthy Spaniards
originally inhabiting the isle have
sold their properties to the Ameri'
cans and returned to Spain or Cuba
the working natives, 'pineros," as
they are termed, remain to the mum
Der Of probably twenty-five hundred OF
three thousand. These pineros are
pure Spanish. They are industrious
working faithfully ten or twelve hours
day for the small wage of 81 tC
$1.50 per day and boarding them
selves. AS workers they are regarded
as superior to the Mexican poems
Cubans or Jamaican negroes. They
are quiet, inOffensive people, fond OF
the Americans, and cases Of theft OF
bodily assault are rare. They are of
a domestic temperament, marrying
early and rearing large families.
There are diversified amusements
for tourists. Automobiling over gOOt
roads to all parts of the isle, deep
sea fishing, tennis, golf and horseback
riding are especial favorites, as wei
as sea bathing in the warm salt wa
tiers Of the Caribbean. AS to the eli
