Cuban Alcalde Disposed to Quibble Ov

Havana, Nov. 9. There seems to be
considerable disposition on the part
of a number of Cuban government of
ficers to cause troublo to American In
terests In tho Isle of Pines Archlpela
go. Several natives said to havo been
inspired by Cubans, some of whom
are believed to bo In tho government

suits to question titles to realty In the
isle of Pines Archipelago, acquired by
Americans prior to the signing of the
Squlres-Palma treaty, which provided
for the cession of tho Isle of Pines
proper to Cuba, as a quid pro quo for
coaling stations at Bahla Honda and

The Cuban alcalde, or sub-governor
of the Isle of Pines, has refused to
lend police protection asked by Amer

the ground that, according to a strict
Interpretation of the treaty, these

There Is a Strong reeling That It Would
Be a Uood Arrangement for the Unit

All Central Amarlcan States England
Will Indorse Our Action.
London, Nov. 9. The British onle
Ials' attltudo toward the events at
Panama Is that It Is entirely tho
United States' affair. This feeling,
with the consequent comparative
apathy, appears to be shared In all dl
plomatlc quarters In Loudon. Except
In the unlikely possibility ot some out
side Interference, no action Is contain-
plated by tho British, or, so far as the
Associated Press Is able to ascertain,
at the various Embassies here, by any
other government. Uron request of

to the powers thnt It Intends to recog

Is not likely thnt thcro will bo the

Great Britain, while, according to the

Alaska Commissioners Let One Stretch

Washington, Nov. 7. Contrary to
tho general understanding, It develop

session In London did not finally lo
cate tho entire boundary lino between
British nud Auicrlcnn territory, but a
stretch ot over 139 miles between
Kate's Ncedlo nnd tho Devil's Paw,
two prominent mountain peaks lying
southeast ot Skngway, Is yet to bo de
finitely located. Because ot the fail
ure of tho commission to determine
tho locatlou ot this Hue tho joint sur

ed with marking off tho boundary as
recently determined will bo unable to

which Is about one-fourth of tho entire
length ot tho boundary that Itns long
been In dispute.
It so happens that tho country lying
between Kate's Neodlo and DoyII's
Paw Is desolate, nnd apparently worth
less mountains ot snow nud Ice. The
determination of the actual location
of the boundary Is tbereforo of no Im
mediate Importance, but should mines
bo developed, or should other resourc
es bo discovered, thcro would bo n rep
etition of tho dispute that has existed
all over Southeastern Alaska since the
discovery of gold In tho territory.
Tho boundary commission did not
havo before it sufficient duta to enable
It to fix this portion ot the boundary
with any degree of satisfaction.
