TITLE TO CUBA
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Mar. 13.-Cuba s
quarter of 4 century struggle for
complete independence ended today
when the senate relinquished all
claim to title in the Isle of Pines
and established the complete SOW
oreignty of Cuba over the last of
her claimed territory
Ratification of the treaty came
at the end of 90 year struggle
formally TO turn over the island to
Cuba.
, The vote was G3 to IA.
Approximately 600 Americans are
on the Isle of Pines and own near
ly three quarters of the land. The
treaty provides for protection of
their interests by the original reser-
vation of the treaty that ratifica-
tion does not mitigate against them
The treaty was signed by the gov
ernments in 1904 and every Presi,
dent since that time has asked for
ratification but it languished in the
archives of the senate foreign rcla
tions committee until the present
special session of the senate.
