June l3.-Mr. Walter Bett, who is said
to have been a secretary Of Mr.. Craw-
ford, the British consul at San Juan de
Porto Rico, the latter now acting for
the United States, has arrived here.
Mr.. Bett was accused of communi-
eating information to the United States
Notwithstanding the mines and
Notifications of San Juan and he was
therefore ordered to leave Porto Rico.
The Spaniards claim this is a fragrant
breach Of British neutrality and dan
gerous for Mr.. Crawford, unless it can
be proved that the latter was not the
employer of Mr.. Bett and that the ex.
PEELED secretary is not answerable for
his actions to the British government.
Mr.. Bett denied having supplied the
United States authorities with the in
formation referred to. Thirty-one
Porto Rican refugees, mostly women,
have also arrived here.
The newspapers say that TWO months
of the existing conditions will bring
Porto Rico to the verge of starvation.

Navarro, June S, 1898
Editor News s-Democrat:-The result of
| the Republican primary here was COM
ple'e surprise. There is a ruction in the
Republican camp. The anti-Taylor-
Jones element was complete master of
the situation and routed the administra-
tion crowd. So complete was the defeat
of the Tayler-Jones followers that they
did not know what struck them. The
result was that after hotlv contested
election Alex Garner was elected con-
gressional delegate by majority of 81
votes over +. H. Hess, who was the can
didate of the Tayler followers. The
greatest surprise in store for Postmaster
Thomas, who was expected to look after
Tayler's Interests in old Bethlehem, was
the complete knockout of W. E. Moul-
ton, who was their candidate for repre-
sentative. They only succeeded in mus
tering 33 votes for him, while A. J. Kit
tenger succeeded In polling 78 votes,
having majority of 40 votes over his
adversary. This was chiefly due and
brought about by the anti-Tayler
element, Carver, Rickard and others,
who made a special effort TO defeat
Moulton on account of Thomas, Bayless
and others making desperate
effort to defeat Kittinger on account of
the stand he took in helDing to defeat
John Thomas for state senator two years
| ago. The result of the outcome cannot
be foretold. You can look for a Tayler
knockout this fall Should be be success.

Thomas, who was expected to deliver
everything to Tayler, will be unable ia

be surprised to learn of the disaffection

township, which was chiefly due to the
postmaster fight a year ago. Mr..
Thomas was not the choice of Republi
cans in this township. The following
letter was handed us for publication:
We have been waiting patiently for an
article appearing in some of our country
papers as to the result of the Republican
primary election held on the 4th inst in
precinct b, Bethlehem township, where
the fight was the most hotly contested
that was ever held in our village and the
largest vote out that was ever polled at 6
Republican primary. The anti McKin
ley and anti-Hanna and Foraker-Jone
faction were out in full force, headed by
John Bailiss, the brains of the party
assisted by the Thomssites, who wher
the results were ascertained, caused sorrow
in the camp of the Jonesites by beinl
defeated by the administrative party
headed by ALEX Carver, Riokard & Co.

After the contest the result was 80 votes
for Carver and 3S for Hess. Now Josey
why didn't you come to time and spread
the news broadcast over the county ant
the entire state to show the readers o.
news that you were holding the reins o.
