QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Discussion Concerning the Status @
Puerto Ricans

Puerto Ricans.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-In view of the
fact that at noon today, with the ac-
QUESTION of the island of Puerto Rico
by the United States, about SOC, 600 in
habitants of that island lost their Span
ish citizenship, the question as to what
shall become of these people politically
becomes of Importance.
Madrid advices report that leading
citizens in Puerto Rico nave already
taken steps to become naturalized as
United States citizens. This is an err
ror, for existing law provides no way in
which this change of citizenship can
be effected by the residents of the is
land. There is no United States court
there before which a declaration of in
tention can be filed and in fact no
machinery at all which can be put in
motion to change citizenship.
Inquiry into this subject at the state
department discloses the fact that it
has been usual to provide a bodily
transfer of the citizenship of people
conditioned as those in Puerto Rico, in
the treaty of peace which terminates a
war. 1t may be prudent for the COM
mission at Paris to avoid any reference
to Puerto Rico again, in which case
congress will be called upon by the

Puerto Ricans in the same act as that
which must be passed to provide a
staple form of government for the is
lands. Should either of these courses
be found impracticable, however. it is
said at the department that interna-
tional law in its operation would con-
fer American citizenship upon these
Puerto Ricans. the general principle
being that where a treaty of cession is
silent upon the subject of citizenship,
it changes with the soil. In the case
of the acquisition of New Mexico, the
residents of the territory were given
American citizenship by specific provi-
sion of the treaty

cials here. that Yesterdays proceedings
before the peace commission at Paris
marked the high tide of Spanish oppo-
sition and that from now on the Span
ish commissioners will retire gradually
from their extreme position. 1t is rec
ognized that their attack upon the
American position was marked by the
greatest cleverness and adroitness. The
opinion prevails that the animating
purpose of the Spaniards is TO work
upon the SympathieS of other European
nations while appealing to the inter
ests not only of the holders of Cuban
bonds but also to the holders of purely
Spanish securities, which would be af-
fected by sympathy.
The Spanish argument directed to
showing that the United States must
assume sovereignty, else the island
would be left without legal status, is
interpreted as being a distinct bid for
the Intervention Of foreign bondholders.
he latter, according to the Spanish
hope, might be expected to call upon
their own governments to aid the Span
ism cause by protesting to the United
States against the large values repre-
sented by the Cuban bonds owned by
their own citizens. Considerations based
upon equities like these have had great
weight with international tribunals, but
back of it all is apparent to the eye
of the officials here a purpose to infiu-
ence not so much the American peace
commissioners as the government at
Washington directly.
There never has been any question
here as to the status of municipal and
other local obligations based upon Gu
ban assets. AS the proceeds of bonds
issued by the municipalities have pre-
sumably gone to benefit the localities,
it has never been contended here for an
instant that these obligations should be
repudiated. Whatever may be the out
come of the negotiations at Paris rela-
tive to the general debt of Cuba, the
bonds of the municipalities and such
securities will retain their validity.
The proposition alleged TO have been
made yesterday by the Spanish COM
missioners, to surrender to the United
States the entire Philippine group
rather than that Spain should be held
responsible for the Cuban debt, did not
take the officials by surprise. 1t was
recognized Immediately as only another
phase of the Spanish effort to connect
the Philippines and Cuba in some way
in the negotiations. The American COM
missioners at the beginning refused to
permit any such association, holding
that each subject treated in the protO-
col must be dealt with separately and
III oTCeI, anu 50 Lar as lHe state ue-
partment knows they have not changed
their views in this matter since.
While it is realized in official circles
that the negotiations in Paris have
reached what probably viii be the most
critical point to be passed over until
the commission is face to face with the
question as to what disposition shall be
made of the Philippines, there is an
abiding confidence that the Spanish
commissioners will not oblige the Amer
leans to resort 10 extreme measures,
and that the negotiations will proceed
with greater expedition from this point

CEREMONY AT PONCE.
Alcalde Declares Allegiance to the
American Republic.

Ponce, P. R., Oct. 1S.-Today's cere-
monies in the formal surrender of the
island of Puerto Rico were, as had
been expected, most enthusiastic. After
the parade the bands and various trade
organizations went to General Henry's
headquarters to be introduced to him.
General Henry, in the course of a brief
speech, said:
"Alcalde and Citizens-Today the flag
of the United States floats as an en-
blem of undisputed authority over the
island of Puerto Rico, giving promise
of protection of life, Of liberty, pros
perity and right to worship God in ac-
cordance with the dictates of con-
science. The 40 states represented by
the stars emblazoned on the blue field
of that flag unite in vouchsafing TO you
prosperity and protection as citizens of
the American Union.
Your future destiny rests largely
with yourselves. Respect the rights of
each other, do not abuse the govern
ment which accords opportunities to
the individual for advancement Polit-
ical animosities must be forgotten in
unity and in the recognition of COM
mon interests. i congratulate you all
in beginning your public life under new
auspices, free from governmental op-
preston, and with liberty to advance
your own country's interests by your
united efforts
General Henry then introduced John
b. Castleman, who spoke with great ef-
feet as an old confederate. The alcalde
replied in part as follows:
To-day destiny has written the last
mage of Spanish dominion in Puerto
Rico. and the prologue to the entrance
of the noble American republic, whose
flag is a sign of a new era. We hope
TO see another star, symbolic of our
prosperity and our membership of the
great republic of states. Puerto Rico
has not accepted American dominion
on a account of force. Therefore, she
came willingly and freely. hoping, hand
in hand, with the greatest of all re-
publics, to advance in civilization and
progress, and to become part of the re-
public TO which we pledge our faith for
ever"
The town was profusely decorated
with American flags.

Eureka, Get. 1S.-Thomas V. Nozack,
a Russian about y years of age, met
with an accident in the Eureka Hill
mine this afternoon which caused his
death. The circumstances surrounding
the accident are not fully known. as no
one was a witness to the unfortunate
mans death, but it is supposed that a
rock or body of earth fell upon Nozack
while he was descending the ladder in
the Butler shaft, and hurled him to the
bottom, a distance of nearly 100 feet.
How long the dead form lay at the bot
tom of the shaft is also unknown, as he
was not discovered until some of the
miners pushing an ore car along the

lern, accompanied by the German war
ship Hela and the sultan's yacht Izze-
din, with the Turkish imperial commits
sion on board, and followed by a num-
Der of special steamers conveying mem
bers of the Germany colony, appeared
off old Zeraglio Point, and the guns of
the barracks thundered a salute.
The Hohenzollern anchored off the
Dolmabagtche palace, and soon after
wards the emperor and empress were
rowed to the palace landing station,
where they were received by the sui
tan, who was surrounded by a brilliant
suite.
AS the landing took place the German
warships and a hundred guns from the
batteries fired salutes. The longboat
of the Hohenzollern, on its way to the
landing stage, was greeted by hum
dred boats, containing officials, police
men and spectators.
The scene was most animated.
Crowds of spectators thronged the ap-
proaches to the palace and welcomed
their majesties. being answered by the
"HOch" of the German sailors. The sui
tanS suite included all the ministers
and high civil authorities, and all the
German military officers now in the
employ of Turkey. The meeting be-
most cordial.
Later a procession was formed and
the imperial party was conducted to the
Yildiz Kiosk, the route being lined
with troops. On all sides were to be
seen brilliant uniforms and crowds of
-turbaned Turks. The sultan ap-
peared in full uniform in an open car
riage, drawn by four horses with out
riders, with the empress of Germany
on his right and Muri Pasha, the grand
master of ceremonies, in front of them.
In a second carriage was Emperor
William in the uniform of the hussars
of the guard, apparently greatly en-
joying the scene, and the Grand Vizier
Fuad Pasha-
Then came the suites of the emperor
and empress, the Turkish ministers,
the German ambassador, Baron Mar
schan Won FieberStein, and his staff,
and others. The whole party proceeded
to the Yildiz Kiosk. amid the deafening
applause of the crowd.
Emperor William and Empress Au-
gusta Victoria dined this evening at
the German embassy.
Replying to an address presented by
| a deputatiOn of the Swiss in Constan-
tinople, who are under German protec-
ton. the emperor said his policy in
Turkish affairs was identical with his
grandfather which was now bearing
fruit.
The excellent relations existing be-
tween his imperial majesty, the sultan,
and myself" he observed, shows how
the two empires, despite the difference
Of race and religion. can remain on
terms of friendship for their mutual
advancement"
Subsequently their majesties visited
the German school. The sultan has con-
ferred the grand cross Of the Osmanli
upon Herr Won Bulow, the German for
eign secretary, who accompanies En-
peror William.
The sultan has presented to En-
peror William a magnificent sword. and
to the empress a diamond necklace of
almost priceless value.
He has also authorized a German
syndicate to construct a commercial
post at Haidar, opposite Constantine
pie, a concession long sought by Ger
man promoters.
