Its property for taxation at the time j

was signed at the State Department
l>y Secretary Hay and t'enstanrin j
l?run, the Danish Minister. The treaty
was submitted to the Senate for ratilieation.
Following tIn* invariable rule in such
cases, the State Department e.tileials
declined to make public any of the
details of the treaty, so that it is not
possible to state positively tlie price
to l>e paid. It is known that Denmark
has abandoned tlie position she
was inclined to occupy in regard to
the conservation of the political
rights of the inhabitants of the
islands', and that she leaves the baited

these points in the negotiations, the
Stale Department ollieials believe that
the treaty is certain to receive the

The treaty is peculiar in that it will
require action not only by the V'nited
States Senate and the Danish Rigsdag.
but also l?y the 1 nited States

be necessary for the House to supply
the appropriation to defray the expense

It is regarded as a str? ng point by
the franters of the treaty that the
people* of the islands are to have a
voice in the question of cession. The
treaty itself does not c iitaiu any
reference to a plebiscite, but the Dan

Si. Thomas. I'm* largest of tin*

liills running oast and west. It is
thirteen miles long, measures three
miles at its greatest width, ami contains
au area of seventeen square
miles. The sea surrounding litis
island is lilhal with small tslets, railed

St. Thomas. Aliout two miles to the
northeast lies the island of Si. John,
and some forty miles to the south is
the third island, St. Croix, or, as it is
perhaps more generally termed, Santa
Cruz.
The port of St. Thomas is a good
one. and it i- stated that vessels
can anchor there with safety. The j
islands are e msidered of great |
strategic importance. The initial cf- i
