Col. August T. Francis OF the 171st Regiment
has ordered Capt. Charles II. stoddard. recruit
ing officer for the Seventy-hrst, to vacate tho
room in tho armory at Park avenue and Thirty
fourth street which he has been using for re-
cruitinE purposes.
The Colonel informed the Captain that he
could have the use of the armory up to Satur-
day night in order to recruit the 3o7 men re-
quired to fill up the Seventy-6rst, which 10 now
in Cuba, but that II he did not conclude his re-
c~ruitinR by tomorrow night he would have to
engage quarters elsewhere.
The Colonel last night said he proposed to
stand by what he had informed Capt. Stoddard,
and no pointed to the section of tho State
statutes giving control Of armories to tho COM
mander of tho organization occupying such
armory.
Capt. Stoddard came from Tampa two weeks
ago to get recruits for the Seventy-irst, The
Colonel stated that the Captain was uuneces-
sArily slow about tho work.
When Capt. Stoddard was asked IL he ex.
pectod to finish recruiting by tomorrow night
he replied that he did not; that he wanted fifty.
seven more men. He said that he did not pro-
pose to vaoate the armory. but would stay there
just as long as it pleased him. He intimated
that he proposed to telegraph to tho War De
partmenta at Washington II no should be kept

CONSPIRACY I'm PORTO RICO
THR OBJEor was no OVERTHROW
THE sPANISH 6OYRRR0R.

-
Spanish Postal Authorities Discover the PIot
ThrouEh = Letter written ~ One or the
Conspirntors - I've or Thenn shot and
Three Othern In PFissn Awaiting Trial.
WASHINGTON. Juno 30.-Tnformatlon has been
received in this country Of tho recent discovery
in Porto Rico by Captain-Gcneral Macias OF tho
existence Of a conspiracy which, had IL not
been effectively and quickly checked. would soon
have had tho island In q state Of insurroction
such as now exists In Cuba and the Philippines.
Eduardo Baselga and Damian Castillo. both
prominent native Porto Ricans and the active
leaders in the ~inclpient instruction. have boon
executed, and three others, Antonio catena,
Miguel MorRyta aud Josd Muro, are in prison.
awaiting trial by the military court which
sentenced their two compatriots to death.
Tho conspiracy was discovered by the Spanish
postal authorities in the island through n letter
written by Castillo TO Basetga. Gen. MaciSs
was Informed OF 1t, and n quiet Investigation
disclosed the fact that q number of the most
prominent residents Of the city, both native and
foreign. were involved. The headquarters Of
tho conspirators was located, and n quantity Of
dynamite. arms, and provisional. evidently in
tended for the equipment of q small force.
were found. 1t was tho intention Of tho
leaders. after their plans had mAtured. to pub
lish as widely as possible a proclamation, call
ing upon all native and patriotic Porto Ricans,
who held liberty dearor than life, TO Join them
and accomplish tho overthrow OF the Spanish
Government and the death OF the Governor and
his officials.
Tho plans Of tho conspirators were 30 care
fully and secretly laid that had It not been for
the accidental discovery Of Castillo's letter they
would undoubtedly havo been carried out. The
conspiracy was discovered about the time of tho
visit to Washington Of DR.. J. j. Henna and
Ramon Todd, both prominent Porto Ricnns,
whose purpose in visiting the capital was to
hold q conference with President Mckinley
relative to the establishment Of q provisional
United States government in the island after
the Spaniards had been driven out.
The i've persons above named wero at once
arrested and Castillo and Baselga, who were
known to be tho actual leaders. wero i'm.
mediately tried by q military court. The
trial lasted less than a day and resulted In q
death sentence. Captain-General Macias up
proved the findings and within twenty.four
hours after their arrest the two leaders were
shot. 1t 10 thought that Catena and his two
comrades will DO similarly dealt with, and
other arrests are likely to follow. The resi-
dents of the island arc very much excited
over the affair, which has become public II
spite Of tho efforts of the authorities to keep 4
quiet, and 1t is believed by many that the exc
cution Of Castillo and BRselGa, instead Of check
ing tho Instruction, will have the opposite
effect.
The military guards around the palace ant
the Government buildings have boon doubled
as 1t 10 beloved the conspirators intended Il
blow them up with dynamite.
