mejor dicho de reanudar inte.igencias
y alianzas CON los paftidos nacionales,
y digo reanudar porque desde Ia re-
volucion de Sesiembre hasta eI golpe
de Ssgunto mantnvieron los nberales
puertorriqueisos relaeiones estrech{si-
mas y provechosas CON los partidos
democrxticos de Ia Madre Patria, y

PROVIDENCE.

William Tigue, of Green Ridge street.
was arrested yesterday by Constable
Davis at the instance of Michael Moo
nan. Of Breaker street. who charged
Tigue with assault and battery. It
seems that Noonan boarded for some
time at the home Of Tigue and that the
two were fast friends until few months
ago, when. through some cause. they
became bitter enemies. This hatred
cropped out last Sunday night when, ac-
cording to the story Of the prosecutor.
the defendant assaulted him. He said
that he had occasion to walk along
Washington avenue, In the Green Ridge
section, last Sunday evening. when he
was accosted by Tigue and another man
named Burns. He also said that when
they approached him Tigue struck him
and Burns threatened to kill him with
knife. He ran and they followed. He
claims that he hid himself and they
hunted for him the entire night. The
defendant said that Noonan. in the
presence Of others, had threatened to kill
him. Sunday night he went up to him
to ask him his reason for making those
threats. when suddenly he started to
run. The case was settled.
Mrs. Sarah Neary had Mrs. Mary
Reilly arrested for using obscene and
profane language. Both parties live on
