PORTO RICaN TAXES.
Military Authorities Having Much Difficulty in
Collecting the Arrears.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Nov. %
The United State transport Michigan
left here, yesterday, to collect troops
from inland ports. The artillery home
ward bound consists of Lemley's and
Thorp's Batteries. The Michigan is
due in New York in about 10 days. The
steamer Relief of the hospital service,
sailed, today, for home with 253 sick
and convalescent soldiers.
The efforts of the military authorities
to collect arrears of taxes, dating back
to the Spanish regime, are unpopular
and will prove difficult. There are
many live claims in Porto Rico, today,
ante-dating the American occupation,
namely, the claims from the Catholic
church, claims under the pension fund
of widows and civil employees which
have not been paid by Spain for many
months, and other claims of similar
nature. The money collected from the
old, unpaid taxes may be applied to
liquidate those claims.
1t is a fact that considerable sums
| of insular money, namely, individual
| deposits in the collateral treasury, the
| teachers pension fund of 10000 pesos
etc, were absorbed during the last days
| of the Spanish occupation and were
| conveyed to the peninsular. Attempts
are now being made to recover these
amounts but the success of the efforts
is considered doubtful.
| The settlement of the question of the
Porto Rican currency is of the firsi
Importance to the islands business and
there is no intimation of an arrange
ment being arrived at in the near flu
| ture. Commerce is timid and conser.
| vative, and in consequence, exchange
is at 1865. American citizens have beer
asking many concessions from the mil
litary authorities, but none has beer
granted.
The Porto Rican officials continue
taking the oath of allegiance to the
| United States.
The 5th Cavalry is being distributed
over the portions of the country where
the troops can take active measures tt
suppress disorders. There is a motion
before the San Juan council for the re
organization of the police. Such {
change is much needed as the presen
police force is unable to cope with thu
disorders, especially those arising be
tween the American soldiers and sail
ors who enjoy themselves ashore.
Many cases of typhoid fever are re
ported at Ponce and efforts have beer
redoubled to complete the sanitar,
. work in San Juan.

The Three Batteries Of 2nd Artillery Leave
Boston for Savannah.

Boston, Nov. 23.-The three batteries of
the I'd Regiment Artillery stationed in
Boston harbor, Col. Haskins command
ing, left this city, tonight, for Savannah,
Ga, to join the remainder of the regl-
ment stationed at that place. The reason
for the sudden departure of the batteries
is that the I'd Regiment is going to Cuba
within a week. The batteries were
brought up from Long Island Head, Fort
Warren and Grover Cliff, Winthrop, and
landed at the Boston & Albany docks III
East Boston. The train was made up of
II coaches, one sleeper and four baggage
cars. There were many pathetic scenes
enacted at the wharf, as the I'd was
largely recruited in Boston.
The two batteries stationed at Fort
Constitution, Portsmouth, and Portland
Head will start tomorrow. The other
batteries of the regiment are stationed as
follows: Two at Fort Adams, Newport,
