has seldom been equaled for the early
days OF July. Throughout the entire
district the mercury registered close TO
100 in the shade during the day and the
number OF prostrations ran into the
hundreds In Chicago the mercury reg
istered close 10 80 degrees for the great
er part OF the day and there We're over
q score Of prostratlons. At midnight a
severe thunderstorm swept over the
city sending the mercury down several
points and bringing welcome relief.
Two men were Killed by the heat dur
ing the afternoon. lambert Ludberg.

William Sullivan, a laborer, dropped

The policeman seowied at the villain
who was about to desert the unfortu-

PORTO RICO In REBELLION.
Another Misgoverned Island Rises
in Arms Against the Power of
spain.

NEW YORK, April s-The Herald to-
day says:
DR.. j. Julio Henna. president OF the
Porto Rican revolutionary committee OF
this city, has received private information
from the committee on the island OF Por-
to Rico TO the effect that the country has
taken up arms against the Spanish gov
eminent the uprising having taken place
in Yauco and Adjuatas.
DR.. Henna. upon the receipt of the news.
al once called together all the members
Of the committee and held a conference
at his home. No persons except men,
beers of the committee were allowed to
take part in the meeting. TIE news Of
the uprising. it was reported by men,
Der. had also been received In this city
by a well-known banking firm. which has
close business connection with one or
the leading banking houses in Porto Rico.
When seen at a late hour last night DIR.
Henna said:
The news. though startling, did not
surprise me. as the latest mail advices
from Porto Rico brought US the informa-
ton that the situation there was becom-
ing every day more serious. According 10
our correspondent. the Spanish authorl-
ties there were acting toward the people
as IL they were anxious TO precipitate
matters by driving them to desperation
and 10 arms. The Information in the ca
meager. We expect full particulars by
the next mail Until then l do not care
% discuss the matter.
Il am willing 10 admit that have re-
celved a cablegram. II read as follows:
Our country up in arms, movement start
cd al Yauco and Adjuntas.'
All the members of the committee were
very reticent after the meeting. but one
OF the more prominent. who would not
permit his name 10 be published. said:
The fact is that the movement in Porto
Rico has started earlier than was expect
ed and agreed upon. but no doubt circum-
stances Of which we know nothing must
have compelled our brethren to take the
step at once What seems strange Is that
the uprising did not take place at E~p
Grande. Carolina or Luquesite. as the
people IN those districts were better pre-
pared for action
Referring TO the chances OF success.
this member said:
The spirit OF the people Is such at the
present time that any movement 10 over
throw the Spanish yoke IS almost sure 10
succeed. The Porto Ricaus are tired Of
Spanish misrule. AZ we want IS TO raise
an army Of 500 men. and with such an
army We can carry every place on the
island BY assault
THE Spanish garrison in Porto Rico is
composed Of about 500 OF whom 2.ea are
