Not a. little astonishment or resentment is freely expressed because the inhabitants are not consulted toy the uthorities in Copenhagen before the legotiations progressed so far. The ear is widely expressed that if the plendid harbor of St. Thomas were urned into fortified base with the anama canal defenses, the development of St. Thomas as the commerc- al port might be interfered with.
