st. Thomas, West Indies, April 2s,-
Porto Rican advices received here to-
day say that four Spanish gunboats
are at San Juan de Porto Rico. They
ere being painted black, or possibly
dark gray.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Porto Rico, and it is being enforced in
a tyrannical manner. Crowds of peo-
pie are leaving for the interior, the
capital is almost deserted by the civ
ilian population, and the roads lead
ing from San Juan de Porto Rico are
now presenting a remarkable appear
ance. Household goods, in carts, wag-
ons or other such means of convey
ance, are to be seen everywhere, the
people dreading the rigors of a siege
and the dangers of a bombardment Of
the capital by United States fleet.
The military authorities are most
actively engaged in preparing for the
defense of the island. Thirty-four
torpedoes have been planted in the
main channel. In addition, an old
steamship has been sunk across the
harbor entrance, the buoys in the
channel have been altered, and, from
Monday last, after the news of the
blockade Of Havana reached there, ac-
companied by a report that the Cuban
capital had been bombarded, all the
lights were ordered to be extinguished
at night.
The French residents, when these
adv ices left San Juan de Porto Rico,
were seeking refuge on board the
French cruiser Admiral Rigault de Ge-
nouilly.
AMERICAN ESTATE PLUNDERED
An American sugar estate, it is an
nounCed, was plundered after the re-
ceipt of the news of the declaration
of war between Spain and the United
States. The British consul at San Juan
de Porto Rico, who has charge of
American interests, has cabled to his
government. requesting a British war
ship to be sent to that port.
Danger is apprehended from the in
competent and youthful volunteers of
Porto Rico. They are armed with
Mauser rifles and are displaying con-
siderable war enthusiasm.
AreCibo Bay, on the west coast of
the island, has been planted with tor
pedOes from the signal station to a
point about one mile west of it. There
are many Spanish volunteers here and
on their way to Porto Rico.
Spanish steamers landed at Mayag-
uez, seventy miles from San Juan de
ortO Rico, on Wednesday, a quantity
| of arms and ammunition, and there
was a similar landing of supplies at
San Juan de Porto Rico on Tuesday
| Besides this, about 5000 tons of provi-
sions We're landed at San Juan de Porte
| Rico on Sunday last.
The warehouses OF Porto Rico are
pronounced to be full of provisions, and
the Spanish authorities say they can
stand a siege Of two months.
All the coast lights have now been
| ordered to be eXtinguished.
| No United states warships are known
to be in the vicinity of Porto Rico.
