measures be resorted TO against the rebellion,
to save the island. When relieved OF duty
during the day, the soldiers OF The battalion
shouted "Death to traitor,ln viva EsDeral"
These demonstrations aused great agitations,
which bowever subsided towards evening.
To day the excitement WAS renewed. The
volunteers sent another committee TO the CAP
tain General TO reiterate their demand Tor
severe measures. General Dulce replied drmly
that he could not permit any interference with
political or military plans Of the Government.
The Captain General has resolved to effect paci-
6cation on the island within the limits of the
law, and IN his determination he stands 6rm.
The volunteers demand that those revolutionsts
who were arrested during the late riots, and
whom they call assassns, be Immediately put
to death.
General Dulce replied that the courts must
first try these prisoners. He declares that he.
counts on the Endorsement and aid of SDain,
and on the sympathy and moral aid OF the
United States, because he intends to act in
accordance with Law; aud he believes as
matter OF policy, that precOtate action IN the
existing state of affairs would be highly impru-
dent. He is determined, iflt becomes necessary,
TO repel force by force, although he would regret
shedding lraternal blood.

increase in the general supply OF "copper" owing
TO the discovery and working OF remarka'
Diy productive mines, and TO coluctaeu,
restriction In the consumption aud use Oi
metals for industrial purposes. IL isnow sought
10 resist by artificial means the action of
natural laws, to place the people Oft Unitel
states in the enjoyment and use of an essentla
commodity upon deficient basis from other
nations, and especially to compensate certain
private and sectional Interests for the changes
ana losses which are always Incident TO
Industrial progress. Although providing for an
increase OF duties, the proposed law does not
even come within the range of protection ia
the fair scceptation Of the term.
IL does not look to the fostering OF young
and feeble interest with view to the ultimate
attainment OF strength ana the capacity OF self
support. IL appears to assume that the present
inability for successful production Is inherent
and permanent, and is more likely TO increase
than 10 be gradually overcome. Yet In spite of
this IL proposes, by the exercise OF law making
power, to sustain that interest and to impose
