wlille acting Itiianelnl agent of the de
part inents of posts of that Island hold
ing that Noely was subject to extra

Justice Harlan handed down the
courts opinion which vas unani

ion was concluded an order was Is
Mied requiting that the mandate In
the case be Issued at once
Assistant Attorney tionornl Heck
who argued the caso for tin govern
ment lu the supreme court said of the
decision
The governineut regards the deci
sion as important not merely because
it dellnltiily decides Its right to extra
dite Neoly from Cuba tor trial but
because It dcllucs the nature and valid
ity of Its occupancy In Cubu The
chief contention of Neelys able coun
sel wiis that with the ratlllcatlou of
the treaty of Paris all right of occu
pancy by the government under the
war power ceased and that the pres
ent occupancy of Cuba by the presi
dent as was un
constitutional and a usurpation The
court sipiarely negatived the conten
tion and broadly atlirmed tjie light
of the government to occupy Cuba
until a responsible government Is fro
The supreme court further decides
that the president may exercise his
rights as free from
the embarrassment of the constitu
tional provisions requiring trlul by
jury which the court holds to be inap
plicable to Cuba
The caso Is unique partly because
the status of Cuba Is anotnnlous and
partly because of the absence of nn
extrudltlon treaty As to the first
the court affirmed the authority of
the United States in Cuba pending
Its pacification although It Is foreign
territory As to the latter point It
has long becu n vexed question as to
whether there could be an extradition
In the absence of nn extradition treaty
The effect of the decision Is to extra
dite Neely under the authority con
ferred by the act of congress rather
than In accordance with any express
extrudltlon treaty It ensures the trial
of a fugitive from Justice and It gives
the administration the powor to pro
tect life and property In Cuba during
