A trenU' for the sale of these Mantis to the t'liitefl States for $5,000,000 was signed in 1002, but was rejected by the Danish landsthing. A revions treaty for their sale in 1807 was rejected by the United .States senate. Negotiations were again reported pending when the Euro pean war broke. (Ternianv was then seeking their pur chase to secure coaling stations and naval bases' in the Car ibbean and their acquisition is sought by the Tinted States to prevent future complications. The Danish West Indies lie -10 miles east of Porto Rieo and consist of three small islands St. Thomas, St. (Vuix or Santa Cruz and St. John with a total area of 1H8 square miles. Their population is 80,000. Tho foreign trade of the islands is about $1110,000, with imports slightly exceeding exports. St. Thomas is 111 miles long and varies in width from 1 to '1 miles, with an area of Ull square miles. It consists of a single mountain ridge, the peaks of a submerged range, culminating in West mountain, 1555 feet elevation. The climate is tropical, modified by sea breezes. Hurri canes and earthquakes are frequent. The only town is Charlotte Amalie, with a population of 85-10. Tt boasts of the finest harbor in the West Jndies, n land-locked basin, three-quarters of a mile across, entered by a narrow channel only 1)00 yards wide. The depth' of water in the harbor is from 27 to 36 feet. This island was once the great distributing center of iiiu n rai iiiuic.i. uiiiie sugar is grown, me products being aloes, fibrous plants and fruit, its chief importance now is as a coaling station. The population of the island is J i.uuu, mostly negroes. It was discovered by Columbus in 1'IOU, first colonized by the Dutch in 1057, then bv the British in .1(507, nnd in 1(571 paused under Danish control. During European wars of the eighteenth eenturv the neu trality of Denmark gave a great impetus to the trade of St. Thomas. St. John lies four miles east of St. Thomas, is ten miles long mid two mid one-halt miles wide, with an area of twent3'-one square miles. Jt is a mass of ruirired moun tains. It is well watered and most fertile, but has little commerce. In Coral bay it possesses the best harbor of reiuge in ino amines. St. Croix is the largest island of the three and lies sixty-five miles southeast of Porto Rieo. ft is twenty-two miles long and from one to six miles in width, with a doii- ulation ol 18,500, mostly negroes. It is mountainous, but mi niu nuiun Butu iikii-iiv. loiigiir is toe ciiiCL protiuct. Jt was discovered ov Uiiteli, Deuniai with mud. English is tint principal language spoken in (he three islands.
