ANARCH IN PORTO RICO.
Some Serious Depredations are Re-
ported.

Washington, Nov. 20. - The cabinet
session yesterday was devoted in a
large measure TO the consideration or
complaints that have reached the war
department, alleging that state Of
practical anarchy prevails In Porto
Rico. These complaints asserted that
the lawless elements in Porto Rico are
committing depredatiOns of the gray
est character, and that the seriousness
of the. situation is increased by reason
OF the fact that United States troops
stationed In the island likewise have
been guilty OF gross misconduct. The
cabinet took cogniZance Of the reports,
and on adjournment Secretary Alger,
at the instance of the president,
cabled Gen. Brooke, inquiring as to
the accuracy Of the complaints.
The war department does not antici-
pate any trouble in Porto Rico grow
ing out Of disOrderiy conduct Of troops
recently sent there. There was some
trouble with the soldiers with the
Sixth immunes and Forty-seventh
New York about the time Of their ar
rival, but 1t was soon quieted. The
lack Of discipline in the volunteer or

spOnsible for the disturbance, but the
officers are getting better control Of
their men.
The most serious allegations are
against brigands and lawless elements
IN the smaller towns away from the
coast. 1t is said that taking advant-
age of tho unsettled state OF the coun-
try due TO the transfer Of the govern
ment from Spain to the United States
bands Of men have organized for ra-
pine and robbery, burning houses and
plantations and levying tribute upon
the people wherever possible. In one
case it is said they made raid on q
small town fifteen miles from the near
est troops and burned and destroyed
property to a considerable value. Gen.
Brooke, at San Juan, has been in
structed to use the full strength Of the
military forces at his command for the
suppression of rioting and the restora-
ton of peace and order in the land.

Those who talk volubly upon their
joys and their griefs are not generally
those who are capable Of the profound
est happiness or the most intense suf-
fering Those who can put into ready
words the sanctities of love, and fluent
ly express all its hopes and fears, have
seldom penetrated to it's depths. Those
who utter glibly and unrestrainedly all
their upward strivings, their senti-
ments of contrition, their feelings OF
reverence, their desire for worship, are
not usually the most truly religious
or devout. For all that is highest,
deepest, and most profound in human
nature silence is better exponent
than speech. Not only is language in
adequate to convey the truth of such
things, but they are themselves drawn
down from their high estate by being
made subjects of ordinary conversa-
ton. Reticence on such matters is
both salutary and becoming,

The principle involved in the case Is

for If Temple is held for trial by the

dent Iglesais comes incognito and on
an entirely private mission, so that out

estes, the government will not give
him a formal welcome. He is travelling
chiefly for his health.

Pana, ILL.,, Nov. 20.--The town was
kept in a state of terror last evening

groes and striking miners. Both are
heavily armed and use their ammuni-

Sheriff Sid Walls, who was returning
from the Springside mine, where he
had been on duty, was shot from am
bush. The bullet took effect in the
right arm, which had to be amputated.
A number of residences have been
pierced by bullets and those who are
able to do so have sent their families
to the country. The principal streets
are patrolled by soldiers. Capt. Butler

Tanner by telephone, and it is said
