SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. Nov. S.
Il is said here in San Juan that Porto
Rico needs new ieaders-that the men OF

ling dissentions Of the past which cannot
be forgotten. 10 lead the island TO the
brilliant future that awaits it. In this
respect the following letter. freely trans

those who were being robbed. on the
other. those who robbed as. There arose
ranking hatreds. followed by the deter

who vainly called for Justice.
This situation is the keynote 20 our
insular position to-day Political ideas
and ideals were lost under the shower
OF personal animos.tics directed 40 the
men who were party leaders. AS q re-
suit of these conditions, our local poo
ltical parties were schooled from the
very beginning IN the animosiiies and
hatreds of a bitter struggle that knew
neither reason nor reelection. And they
have not been able 90 forget their carly
lessons. Il was a strife that saldened
the hearts OF the islands best men and
that in the past. as well as to-day has
overpowered them with its bitter reali-
ties and lasting hatreds
There then came TO us the new SOW
ereignty only TO find existent the po-
lltcal degeneration that IS our inherit
ance from the Spaniard.

by questions Of reforms. but by noces-

futile strife: IL needs guiding hands and
