Washington, Nov. 90. - The cabinet
session yesterday was devoted in Il
large measure to the consideration OF
complaints that have reached the war
department., alleging that Il state Of
practical anarchy prevails in Porto
Rico. These complaints asserted that
the lawlesS elements in Porto Rico are
committing dcNrndations of the gray
est character, and that the seriousness
of the situation is increased by reason
Of the fact that United States troops
stationed in the island likewise have
been guilty of gross misconduct. The
cabinet took cognzance Of the reports,
and on adjournment Secretary Alger,
at the instance Of the president,
cabled Gen. Brooke, inquiring as to
the accuracy Of the complaints.
The war department does not antic-
pate any trouble in Porto Rico grow
ing out Of disor1erly conduct of troops
recently sent there. There was some
trouble with the soldiers with the
Sixth immuncs and Forty-seventh
New York about the time of their a.
rival, but it was soon quietcd. The
lack Of discipline in the volunteer or
CARNATIONS is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the disturbance, but the
officers are getting better control of
their men.
The most serious allegations arc
against brigands and lawless elements
in the smaller towns away from the
coast. 1t is said that. taking advant-
age of the unsettled state Of the coun-
try due to the transfer Of the govern
ment from Spain to the U,,ited States
bands of men have organized for ra-
pine and robbery burning houses and
plantations and levying tribute upon
the people wherever possible. In one
case it is said they made raid on a
small town fifteen miles from the near
est troops and burned and destroyed
property to a considerable value. Gen.
Brooke, at San Juan, has been in
structed to use the full strength of the
military forces at bis command for the
suppression of riotinS and the restora-
ton of peace and order in the land.
