PUBLIC LANDS IN PORTO RICO.

There is some public land still re-
naming in Porto Rico in the owner
slip of the province. but not Il great
deal. OF course the best lands are not
tu be found in this category but there
are some that could he made into cof-
fee plantations. The committee on
public lands has an office and secre-
tary in the building devoted to public
offices in the capital. It's records and
surveys are very incomplete. and there
is no way by which the land seeker
can go to this office and obtain infor-
nation as to what lands are still unoc
cuDied. When one discovers certain
tract of land which is reputed to he
i'll public ownership-crown lands they
have been until recently-he goes TO
the office and ascertainS the fact, "de-
nounces" it to the secretary. and pays
for survey. Then it is appraised by
committee and the land is sold to the
buyer under system of annual pay
ments which are by no means burden
some. Lands obtained in this way. are
usually cheaper than adjoining prop
critics held in private ownership.-Chi-

A BAD FIGHT.
Prescott Colored Man Yields Base

Geo. Taylor. colored man. was ar
rested for making murderous as
sault upon Captain George Broughton,
and was held by Justice Campbell in
$3.50 bonds to answer to the grand
Jury. 1t seems that there had been
n difference or quarrel between the
two men in regard to the action of
Taylor in taking the G. A. R. flag from
the hail. 1T is said, without percission;
this disagreement eliminated In per-
sonal encounter. fist and skull, between
Taylor and Broughton, yesterday. in
which Taylor was worsted. Taylor
soon after appeared in the field of bat
tie armed with a baseball bat, with
which he felled Captain Broughton TO
the earth. and. it is stated, would have
Killed him but for the interference
of two bystanders. Broughton receiv-
ed n severe blow over the head and
has two bones of one of his arms
broken. Captain BTuugllton is n c. A.
r. man and a citizen who has never
before been known to have any trou-
bic with anybody. Taylor has resided
here some time and accompanied Col
Onel Brodie to Cuba and back. The
full extent of Brougfton's injuries are
not yet known. Public opinion is that
the assault on this unarmed old man
with a base ball bat was entirely I'M

differences may have been.-Courler.

THE TELEGRAPH AND TELE-
PHONE IN CUBA.

One of the most serious problems
| that confront the authorities in Cuba.
! is the establishment of telegraphic sys-
TENS of communication between dis
tant points of the island, says the Chi
cago Record.
Very little attention was devoted to
the DEVELOPMENT of modern methods
and such lines as had been established
We're destroyed or crippled during the
conflict General Lawson has already
felt the necessity of better facilities
and his experience indicates that when
the military occupation of the island
outside of the province of Santiago is
undertaken. comprehensive system
of telegraphic communication will be-
come absolutely necessary. Accord
ingly an urgent demand has been
made upon the War Department for
several companies of the signal corps.
II has been pointed ont that there is
at present no telegraphic or telephon-
IL communication between the city of
Santiago and points on the northern
coast of the province which have been
garrisoned by American troops. When
it becomes necessary TO communicate
with these points a boat is sent round
the eastern end of the island Such
plan is expensive and the delays are
vcxatious. The most important points
along the southern coast of the island
have cable stations. and. although the
government destroyed the cable con-
nections during the hostilities. they
have since been restored. From Bata-
hano on thewest. where connection is
made with Havana, the cable descrih-
es a series of loops along the coast,
touching at Cienfuegos. Casilda. Tunas
Tx10 Sor nj CrTIv MI NVar
There are two cables between Cienfue-
gas and Santiago. This system COM
prises 1892 nautical miles of cable.
There is a cable between Santiago and
Guantanamo, and land line formerly
connected these points. but this has
probably been destroyed. The interior
or the island is almost entirely without
telegraphic facilities. and the tele- !
phone Is almost unknown except in /
few favored localities where Ameri- |
cans have esta blished enterprises and (
introduced some of the ideas which I
mark the civilizatio of the United
States.
