New York, June "A Tribune special
| from Washington says:
The project to occupy Porto Rico Is now
regarded by the highest military author
tiles Of both the navy and army as prac-

Grafton. unless the death rate OF
General Skaters army from dis
eases indigenous to Cuban soil Is ex-
ceedingly high, the presidents desire for
the prosecution Of a general aggressive
campaign throughout the entire island
Of Cuba may be promptly entered upon
the moment Santiago is captured.
The suggestion Of a Porto Rican cam

was put forth more than a month ago,
before Admiral Sampson bombarded San
Juan, and pending the uncertainty re-
garding the destination Of Cervera's
squadron, several weeks at sea from
Cane Verde
The unexpected difficulties met with in
organizing the great volunteer army need

the urgent warning delivered by medical
experts against the advisibllity of ex-
posing raw, unacclmated recruits to the
pestilential climate OF Havana and the
surrounding country where the blockade
conditions were presumed to be unusual-

of yellow fever. together with compara-

for its accomplishment went forward so

The Town and Parish of La

cense to $1,000. This move on the
part of the council and police jury
is causing a great deal of talk and
opposition, and there is some talk
now of submitting the matter to q
vote of the people. We believe
this would be the proper thing to
do, let the people decide what
they want, saloon or no saloon.
We believe that Q high license in
the parish might work we'll, be-
cause there is no police to control
