Atlanta Police Heard That Soldiers Gambled
There and Mndo Arrests.
ATLANTA, April "a fight Is on between the
State and the Federal authorities over the ques-
ton Of the right Of United States soldiers to
gamble. AT the Fort Mcpherson barricks In
this city. where the Fifth Infantry is stationed,
officers and privates have been permitted to play
cards for money, and that they did gamble
among themselves has never been a secret to
anybody.
A few days ago, however. the Police Depart
ment made a raid on Fort Mcpherson and
brought away Q large number Of prisoners. The
charge against them was gambling. and the
evidence, after it had been submitted TO tho
Grand Jury. led to q score of indictments. which
wefe SGT For trial to-day.
The moment the news OF the raid was hashed
over the wires the entire United States Army
rallied to the support Of their comrades, and e
number Of higdofiicIals started at once for At
lanta. They are now here. and t-oir vigorous
protest presented to the court has led to q post
ponement OF the hearing.
The claim Of tho defendants is hat they are
not subject to arrest on Government property
except by Federal authority. and that the At
lsnta police have no authority over them. They
deny the jurisdiction Of the State also.

Treeps-Why the Revolt Failed.
Havana, April 7.-The news Of tho revolt in
Porto Rico was known to the authorities hero
two weeks ago. but was suppressed by the
censor. Now there arc reports Of atrocities
committed by the Spaniards at Yauco and Ad-
tuntas, where moro than 100 men have been
killed by the kind Of torture known here as
copsponte.
The whole island Of Porto Rico has been ter
rorized. snd tho people arc beginning to hoe to
santo Domingo and the United stateS because
nobody feels safe from arrest or death at the
hands of the Spaniards.
1--WE cannot forget the crimes committed
eleven years ago." says q letter from Ponce,
when the Spanish journalist FranC.Ico Cepeda
was com pointed and Thousands OF rorto Rioans
were barbarously asssssinated."
The Same letter says that the Spanish column
of Col. Rosal near Sabana Grande has slain all
the defenceless oountrymen found crossing its
route, although they had nothing to do with the
revolution.
The revolution was we'll planned, and It would
surely have been . success. had it not been that
Quinones. velez, and othors rose prematurely.
against the orders of the principal secessionists
in and out of tho island. The leaders had named
a later date for tho movement, expecting help
from New York. But on March "a the men In
question revolted. Even then they felt they had
waited too long. as they had wished to rise 30 as
to have the Independence Of Porto Rico and the
independence of Cuba celebrated on the same
date.
About fifteen revolutionists are said to DO In
the hills near Adjuntas. but they are not we'll
armed and get no aid from the town. Neverthe-
less the spirit of tho revolution has spread all
over tho country, and In the near future the
whole island will be in arms against Spain.
1t is not true that insignificant or uniniuen-
tial persons are the promoters Of the conspiracy
in Porto Rico. On tho contrary, many rich and
powerful citizens are partisans ofthe Separatists'
cause.
Many political prisoners at Yauco jail have
been tortured to death, and those who escaped
