The secretary of agriculture has sent an 

 order to all the port authorities of the 

 island prohibiting the catching of lobsters 

 between March 1st and May 31st. 



ISLE OF PINES BOATS 



A sea-going vessel is to be constructed 

 in Pittsburgh. Colonel T. J. Keenan, who 

 has just returned from the Isle of Pines, 

 where he has large investments, announced 

 recently that it had been decided by the 

 Isle of Pines Navigation Company, of 

 which he is president, to construct a steam- 

 ship for operations between Key West and 

 Cuba and that the vessel would be built 

 in Pittsburgh, says the Post of that city. 



It is his opinion that the theory of the 

 necessity of a deep draft as a necessity for 

 ocean-going vessels is a worn-out super- 

 stition. The Isle of Pines Navigation 

 Company has now two vessels plying be- 

 tween the island, which lies to the south 

 of Cuba, and Havana. These vessels are 

 of only about six feet draft, but they have 

 navigated the length of the Atlantic coast. 



The steamer which Colonel Keenan and 

 his business associates intend to have con- 

 structed here will be used to carry trade 

 between Key West and Havana. It will 

 form part of an important link in the new 

 commerce between this country and the 

 southern islands, which is now in process 

 of formation. 



There are about 100 Pittsburghers who 

 have investments in the Isle of Pines, said 

 Col. Keenan.
