PLIGHT OF

Ilia People Practically Without Any
Form of Government Negotia
tions with Cuba.
Vxrliuhe Wim from The Associated Trew.
.Vow York, July 4. A Washington
Mpeelal to the Times says:
The state depaitinent is discussing
iith the Cuban minister the treaty dis
position of the Isle of Pines. In a petl-
n laid before the department by J.
. Keenau, the president of tho asso-
itlon of American Settlers In the Isl
and, It is stated that at present the
ni 'ed of action by this government Is
li iperatlve.
When the American troops were with
drawn from Cuba the people In the Isle
or Pines were left without any form of
government, and they are piactlcally in
a state of chaos as far as civil order Is
concerned. While the United States
w as responsible for the. government of
'Cuba the Island was governed by the
a ithorltles of the province of Clenfue
g as. For over a month they have had
n 3 government except such as Is exer
cised by the petty authorities of a little
old Spanish town on the south coast of
the Island. The schools have been
closed for want of revenue to continue
them, and every other public function
hjas been abandoned. The civil affairs
of the Island arc at a standstill,
i The Americans who have gpno there
have taken up over half of the Island,
nnd aro prospering with their farming
e'Uerprlses. They believe they have
the finest cattle country In tho world
ind are in every way satisfied with
thelr( prosperity. Now they wunt tho
TJnlted States to take up their political
Condition and give them tho machin
ery to govern themselves In order that
they may have roads, schools, nnd oth
er needed public Institutions and works.
When our foices withdrew from Cuba
the Isle of Pines was left without con
nection with any customs district and
at present the people are buying from
(fMenfuegos without paying any duties
on. their purchuses. The Imposition of
tariff duties Is one of the prerogatives
of civil order which will be restored to.
them when tho treaty Is completed and
ratllled. The Isle of Pines people will,
until tho senate reaches their case,
next winter, enjoy t,helr peculiar "No
pan's land hiatus."

TAMMANY CELEBRATION.
Programme at tho Wigwam Mr.
Bryan Declines to Take
Any Part.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
New York, July 4. Tammany hall to
day celebrated the 126th anniversary of
American Independence. The pro
gramme differed little from that of tho
Fourth of July celebrations held at the
wigwam In former years. W. Bourke
Cockran, who recently returned to the
'Tammany fold , delivered. thol principal
address and tho other ','lpng talk" was
made by Supreme Court Justice
O'Gormun.
United States Senator George G.
Vest, of Missouri, sent a letter of regret
In which he said:
"There never has been a time In the
history of our country when the free
Institutions established by our fathers
were in more peril than at present. The
announcement Is definitely made that
'wo have outgrown the swaddling
clothes of 1776 and must join the world
powers in trampling upon human rights
and the teaching of Washington and
Jefferson.' "
William Jennings Bryan, In sending
regrets said:
"It is more Important that we should
so encourage the duties of citizenship
as to strengthen our nation's character
and perpetuate our government, than
we should observe each recurring an
niversary of the nation's birth. There is
a never-ending contest between human
rights and man's unbridled greed. Some
times that greed creates one issue, some
times another; but, whether It mani
fests Itself In the tariff question, the
money question, the trust question, or
Imperialism, it Is the same, for every
where It tramples upon the inalienable
rights of the citizen."
"Tammany can help the Democratic
party by throwing the Influence of the
organization upon the side of honest
methods nnd upon the side of honest
platforms, platforms which will set
forth In clear and unambiguous .lan
guage the people's side of every Issue.
Those who employ hypocrisy also re
sort to trickery to deceive the people,
but those who believe in equal rights to
all nnd would deny speclnl privileges to
any must rely on the merits of their
cause and-make an open and manly ap
peal to tho conscience and Intelligence
of the people."
Ex-Governor Hill said In his letter of
regret: '
The foreign policy of the administra
tion in relation to the Inhabitants of
tho Philippines Is a disgrace to civili
zation, It repudiates the principles of
the Declaration of Independence, The
present Republican congreis has ac
complished little or nothing tor the ben
efit of the people. It hns not only failed
to do Justice to Cuba, but It has also
failed to relieve the consumers of the
United States. The administration's
most advertised measure of diluted
'reciprocity' has already come to grief.
The astonishing and strenuous defence
of General Wood in regard to the Cu
ban frauds, contained In the recent
hnranague of the perambulating presi
dent of tho United States, on a conced
edly non-partisan occasion, has fixed
the responsibility for the crime upon
tho administration, which it can not
now avoid."
