HAVANA, Dec. .United States Min ister Squlers arrived today from the United States on a flying trip, wher half through with hi vacation. Mr. Bquiers declined to dlsjlose the object of his visit, but he had an Interview with Foreign Minster Zaldo In regard to the Isle of Pines matter. Much . misunderstanding has dsveloped among the Americana on the Isle of Pines concerning the attitude of ' the United State and Mr. Squlers In reference to the safeguarding of the Interests of the Ameri can residents In the treaty ceding the Island. The feeling on this subject is In tensified now that the ratification of the treaty la pending at Washington. The com plaints allege that Mr. Squlers, during-Ills visits to the Isle of Pines specifically promised that clauses conferring certain local advantages would be Incorporated In the treaty. These, mainly, were agree ments that Cuba should establish a court of first laetance and a register of deeds In the Island and that It should also pro vide an American school and a port of entry. Although It waa manifestly Imprac ticable to Include such matters In' an In ternational treaty, these requests have all along been preferred, as requests, toy Mr. Squlers, besides which there was . an In formal exchange of notes .on 'the subject the day the treaty waa signed, -In which Mr. Squlers named these requests, , and the. acting secretary of state assured the United States they would be granted If practicable; -,. ., r ' .The Cuban government baa' shown eordlal wlllinenese to grant the requests',' as was shown yesterday ...by. the passage of the house bill, in which provision Is made for a court of first Instances and register ef deeds for the Isle of Pines. Oaba Establishes Caetoms Hoase. The cabinet at a meeting tonight' ordered the establishment of a customs house at Nueva Gerona, the principal port of the Isle of Pines. The government! thus com plies 'with air requests of United States residents of the Isle cf Pines with the exception of that relating to the American school. ' It Is believed, however, that the school already established by the,' Ameri cans on the islands will be given govern ment aid. It Is thought those concessions will dispone of much .of the opposition at Washington to the ratification of tho treaty. Minister Zaldo told the Associated Press tonight that Minister Squlers had all along urged compliance with the reasonable de sires of the American reeldents, and ba added that the? .Cuban, government would willingly supply such publlo convenience as might be found necessary for the re quirements of the new population of the Island, as It realised that the special con dition there required considerate treat ment.

CALtBC EACH OTHER NAMES IttOTBSyl la Eh'pbnilding Hearing QfJlr 7tfT WTJthi UNTERMYER SEES DYSPEPTIC BEHAVIOR Guthrie, La Tarn, Hears Statements that Are'Almoet Indecent ana Both Are Shocked by Each Other's Deliberate falsehoods. NEW YORK, Dec .-A sharp tilt be tween' counsel enlivened the opening ox the United States Shipbuilding receivership hearing today. Mr. Guthrie characterised a statement by Mr. Untermyer as "almost indecent," and the latter retorted In warm terms. ' Oeorge W. Perkins of the firm of 1. P. Morgan A Co., resumed his teetlmony, his presence on the stand renewing the inter est In the case, which had slightly lapsed during the lung drawn out testimony of Lewis Nixon. It waa expected that Mr Perkins would be dismissed today. Max Pam and Mr. Bchwab are two Important witnesses remaining to be heard, but coun sel for the complainants announced that they would not be reached today. Mr. Pam was present, as he has been nearly every day of he hearing. At the opening. .Mr. Guthrie restored to the flies In the case the copy of the Mor gan, Harges sc . Co. letter,, which he took away with him yesterday, thereby pre venting Its publication, and Counsel Un termyer resumed the examination on this subject The first question showed that this letter enclosed a copy pt a letter sent by C B. Alexander of. Alexander ft Green to Morgan, Harges . A Co., and over the Identification and admission of this copy another . protest was made by Counsel Guthrie. Tears aad Dyspevela. Mr. Guthrie repeated his protest s gainst this letter boli.g furnished to the press, evoking a warm reply from Counsel Unter myer, who declared that he did not pro- 1 pose to submit to any more "dyspeptlo be havior" - on the part of counsel, and said that Mr. Guthrie had himself given out unlntroduced teetlmony- for publication and made a formal statement before the examiner in regard to Mr. Guthrie s pro tests about' publicity. Mr, Guthrie charac terlaed 'this - statement as "almost , Inde cent" and. the lie waa passed on both sides, Mr. Guthrie speaking of "deliberate false hood" 'on the part ot Untermyer, who re torted In terms equally strong, Mr. Perkins was asked to tell in detail how he' came to cable to Paris the message Introduced -yesterday,' referring to the In terests of "Mr. Schwab and his friends" In the shipbuilding company. He told of three requests made by Colonel McCook of Alexander ft Green, the first time asking that Morgan A Co. cable to their Paris house an endorsement of the shipbuilding company. This was refused. Mr. McCook then asked that the Paris branch be In formed that Messrs. Bchwab, . Nixon and others were Interested In the company, that the properties were valuable and that the men Interested were recommended. What Perkins Promised. Mr. Perkins consented to send a cable gram on July 80 to the purport that Mr. Schwab and his friends were Interested In the new shipbuilding plant and would be very glad "to have the Paris house take as cordial Interest In It as Is consistent. Mr. Perklna did not recall that Colonel MoCook told hint anything or the condition of the French underwriting -at' why the reoommendatton was deeiredr-' Mr,, Perklna .waa asked, what ha knew of the shipbuilding; company at the time of the sale of the Bethlehem plant, and he re. piled lie knew very little about It, bVt the contract for the sale provided that Morgan ft Co. would receive the actual amount ot cash advanced for the. Bethlehem company, the tS.000,000 stock being taken in lieu of all profits and Interest on the Investment. Morgan eV Co. were also by this contract to have a legal option on the organization of the shipbuilding company. "But what information did you or Mor gan at Co. have ot the value oi tne stoca ydu were taking in part payment or of the value of the plants Included In the com bination T" Mft untermyer asked. Mr, Perkins replied that so far as he knew "no investigation on this point was mad by Morgan A Co.," but Mr. Unter myer was not satisfied with the word, "In vestigation" and insisted ' on an answer in regard to any" Information or knowledge of the shipbuilding plants or their values. Mr. Perkins insisted that be had no knowledge on July JO, when the cable was sent, ot the plants, their values or their earnings and had no concerto with the ship building transaction, nor did he on August 11, when the sale of the Bethlehem plant was closed, have any such knowledge to give him an Idea of the value of the se curities taken in part - payment. I Perkins Man itraoraai.- Asked about .Messrs. Dresser, Nixon and Pam, Mr. Perkins declared that he had known them only In a general way up to the time of the sale of the Bethlehem plant and that he did not know that Pam waa representing Schwab. Mr. Dreiser In asking for the loan was speaking as presi dent of the Republic company. Mr. Per kins had considered, but he had not inter ested himself In tbe-questlon of whether that trust company was responsible to the extent of tl.000,000. , - Mr. Perkins professed Ignorance on many points, stating that th negotiations had been In the hands of Mr. Steele, another ot the partners.

Morgan, he testified, knew j nothing, to witness' knowledge, of the I shipbuilding deal during Its progress and waa not lnfrfrmed during his stay In Europe of the negotiations. - After a number .of other professions of Ignorance Mr. Perkins was turned over to Mr. Guthrie for cross-examination. Mr. Guthrie asked two questions about the Sheldon syndicate- and on Mr. Perkins stating his lack of Information the witness was excused and pie hearing closed until Thursday of . next week, when. Mr. Steele probably will be. called In for further In formation of Morgan 6 Co. 'a podtlon In the negotiations.
