Believed Lapsed Treaty Will Hesult
In American Sovereignty.
HAVANA. Feb. M The lapsing of the
Isle of Pines treaty on account of Its not
being ratified within the time limit, Is re
garded here to bo mainly due to tha fact
that the State department at Washington
did not call attention to the matter. It
would also appear, however, that the Cuban
State department failed to remember this
time limit The treaty waa signed In Ha
vana, July 3, 1903, and waa ratified by the
Cuban Senate on July 18. since when It ha
been pending In tho I'nlted States senate.
The last condition of the treaty was to the
effect that the ratifications be exchanged
In Washington within seven months of the
date of signing.
Persons Interested In securing American
sovereignty for the Isle of Pines are Jubi
lant at this development, considering It to
be a setback, which gives additional prom
ise for the defeat of the proposition that
the Island remain Cuban sovereignty.
Ths Board of County Commissioners
voted to build a crib in the Missouri river
at East Omaha to prevent further disas
trous overflows of the river there, where
it has wrought such great damage and de
struction. This was the result of the
commissioners' visit to the scene yesterday.
The crlh will cost 14,000, S2,) to be raised
by the property owners. Kcnnard alone
Voted against the proposition. He thought
the county should wait for the government
to do Its own work.
This resolution was adopted:
We have carefully examined the condi
tion of the river front at East Omaha
and would recommend that Douglas county
construct one crib fifty feet long by twelve
feet wide and sixteen feet deep, well con
structed with piling and planking and tilled
with rock, at a point designated by tho
county surveyor and to do the grading and
throw up dikes sufficient to protect the
Interests of Douglas county, as shown on
profile now on file In the office of the
county surveyor. The above work to be
done under the direction nf the county
commissioners and the county surveyor.
When It came to a vote on this resolution
Commissioner Kennnrd said he would like
to explain why he felt he must vote ngalnst
the adoption of the measure, lie did not
wish to be put on record us against doing
any work there, as there was no doubt
but it was needed and at once, but he did
not think It was Incumbent on Douglas
county to build any crib or put up any
temporary work of any kind. He was In
favor of doing the proposes grading, he
said, but he did not think the commission
had any right to spend the county's myney
for work that was manifestly the govern
ment's. Another reason why he opposed
the measure was on account of the short
age of funds at the disposal of the com
mission and the large number of demands
upon Its resources.
Commissioner McDonald voted In favor
of the resolution and thought the only
trouble with it was that they hud not gone
Into the restraining of the river to as lurge
an extent as they should have done nor as
the danger to the property of the people
on that particular part of tho bank war
ranted. He wanted It understood. However,
that he was In favor of the work only on
the condition of the government's consent
and approval.
Commissioner Connolly said it was true
that, as had been Intimated, a government
engineer had surveyed the situation within
a short time, but it was not true mat ne
hnd not seen fit to make any recommenda
tion. On the contrary he had realized inn
.lumrer that threatens property in that
vicinity and had said so. But, Mr- Con
nolly said, there is so much red tape at
tached to everything that tha government
does that.lt would take a year or more
before it would even get started to do any
thing, und by that time we would have no
East Omaha and there would be no need
of doing the work. He thought it was en
tlrely within the province of the board to
protect any of ita citizens when they were
as much In need of It ns these people, and
that It would be far. more wrong to dlsre
gard this appeal for help than It would be
to spend the county's money In extending
it. Therefore, he voted In favor of the
adoption of the resolution.
Chairman O'Keefe also voted In favor,
He was inclined to second Mr. Connolly's
sentiments In the matter and further cited
the fact that If something waa not doo
Immediately the rip-raps that already have
been put In by the government at a cost
of $15,000 will surely be washed out In the
spring.
The resolution wbb therefore adopted by
a vote of four to one. A committee will at
once wait upon Colonel Chittenden, the
government erglneer In chirge of the Mis
souri river at this point, now at Sioux City,
and get his permission to proceed with the
work. In addition to the work that will
be paid for by the county. East Omaha
parties already have raised a fund of 11,300
with which to put In eight fasclnea to
further hold the river to Its course. Theei)
will cost $250 apiece, so that In order to
complete them at least $700 more must be
raised. It Is proposed further to gel the
government machinery to working at once,
bo that by the time the local work shall
have become Insufficient I'ncle Sum will
have taken the matter up and begun some
thing that will keep the river where It
belongs for all time to come..
The work which the commissioners de
cided to have the county pay for will cost
In the vicinity of $2,0n0, according to the
statement of one of the members of the
board.

So much by way of Introducing the gen

a distinct and appreciable hit In Omaha on
Its first appearance, and the large, though
hot ultra fashionable, audience enjoyed
every moment of the evening, and laughed
and applauded until the theater resounded
with merriment. The r'.r,ce Is one well
calculated to engender Just such enthusl
asm. It Is built oii the good old-fashioned
lines of extruv.igunxu, and brims with
witty remarks, comic situations, pretty
music of the light order, the music with
the snirit und the apurkle In it, choruses
that are melodious without being mere Jin
gles, and snoppy movements that blend Into
pictures of ImmuiIv. Indeed, the ending of
the second act Is one of the prettiest ever

Always Talking In His Sleep" was another
of the hits. But the greatest winner, prob

Mr. Armstrong and Miss May, "You and
