The PORTO RICO CsssIoN sroRY.-For two
or three days past report has been In circula-
uon, which had its origin In an article In the
Freeman's Journal, New York, which has been
widely copied by the press, to the effect that
Spain bad offered to surrender the island Of
Porto Rico toythe German empire, as q reward
for its recognition Of the Spanish republic. The
publication goes on 70 say that negotiations
leading to the transfer began last spring, and
that the Spanish government sent dispatch to
Admiral Polo, then minister here, confessng
that there was no longer any hope Of conquer
ing the Carlists or subduing Cuba, and that the
Prussisn government desired TO possess the
island OF Porto Rico, ciosing by desiring the
minister to learn how the United States would
regard such . trAnsfer. To this the admiral Is
said 70 have replied with indignation, the terms
Of his letter being given. He denounced the
proposition and resigned. All this makes quite
. story, but Secretary Fish denies that there Is
word Of truth In It, and ays that the letters
are foreeries, and that the entire statements are
merely strung together for midsummer sensa-
ton. He has Also stated that such letters ana
uch condition Of facts e are set forth are
simply Impossible.

her desertion and expressing great affection for
them. She, however, she said, loved Bradman
better, and thought she you'd be happier with
him than with them. she was also tired, she
said, OF Shaving for q living, and would be SUD
PORTED Ia ease and good style by Bradman, who
was rich. Her letter expressed no conscious
ness Of wrong in clipping with a married man,
and the young lady must evidently have been
