Another meeting to forward the
movement for a centennial celebration
of the Irish uprising Of 1898 was held
last night at the rooms of John Boyle
OReilly council of the Young Mems
Institute on LaCkawanna avenue.
Delegates were present from thirty
eight Irish societies scattered through
out the country. The plan already
suggested of having an athletic field
day and some appropriate addresses
was adhered to, and an executive COM
mittee consisting of the presidents of
the different societies participating was
appointed to carry out the details. The
date selected is July 4, but there is
some objection to this on the part of
various of. the societies because 1t
would conflict with other like events,
and there is a possibility that the time
will be changed. July Il, the day upon
which the centennial will be celebrated
throughout Ireland. is being talked of
as a more appropriate date.

small parties, probably with many Cubans
among them. The government is in commu-
nication with the insurgents who will send
directions as to the proper points for seeking
landings. The invaders are to cross the gulf
stream in small boats. and will be accom-
panied to the designated landing places by
warships from the blockaders, who will give
them any needed protection while unshipping

The Cubans west of Havana are particularly
in need of arms and ammunition, and 1t Is
understood they are to be supplied first, par

possible the insurgents in Pinar del Rio can
be supplied in this manner without sending
large force to that part of Cuba.
In military circles 1t Is asserted that the
date for starting the regulars from Tampa to

1t Is Growing in Strength From Day

ST. THOMAS, D. W. l., April '26.-Matters
at Porto Rico are growing daily more serious.
Refugees who have reached here from the
Spanish island say that great distress pre-
walls there. AS no news is given out on
the island the residents of Porto Rico i'm
plore their friends here TO keep them posted
upon current events. The Spanish govern
ment has stopped all code messages and
communication of any kind is most difficult.
1t is now said that the anneXattonists are
growing daily in number, and that the revo-
lutionary party of Porto Rico is awaiting the
arrival of the first American troops or the
blockading of the ports 20 raise against the
Spanish government.
Military activity at San Juan and at other
places, continues undated. Volunteers are
being armed in large numbers and it is re-
ported some 10000 men have already been
prepared for hostilities. But it is added
their arms are in a great many cases falling
into the hands of the revolutionists who are
only awaiting the signal to commence active
operations against the Spanish troops.
Food prices continue TO advance, less bust
ness is done each day and the Porto Ricans
are eXpectapt panicky and fearful, while the
Spanish officials are sending troops to the
seaboard to repel possible invaders and at
the same time, they are compelled to send
troops into the interior to hold down the peo-
pie of the island.
The news concerning the coal supply of
Porto RICO is vague and conflicting. There
appears. however to be about 10000 tons of
coal On the island, owned by Spain, and
probably about as much more owned by
private capitalists. But these figures are
merely estimates and are based on con-

though there are doubtless many who are
attempting to get away. There appears to be
no protection for American citizens at Porto
Rico, and no way for them to escape from
the island.
France has sent a warship to San Juan.

q British warship may visit San Juan de

to be likely.

the four companies of infantry were

the Third artillery are scattered along
the coast, but the greater number are
in California;; the Fourth cavalry is
distributed among the posts and forts
in Washington, California Wyoming
and Idaho, and the Eighth cavalry is
in North and South Dakota.
Gen. Miles believes it would be adj
visable to have cavalry troops accom-
pany the infantry and artillery, for the
reason that they would be extremely
valuable for patrol duty Their num-
Der, however, would be limited because
of the great amount of room required
for the transportation of horses.

Effect Upon the United States of the
War.

LONDON, May THE Spectator, in
an article today urges America to keep
the Philippine islands, to raise a col
ored army of 10000 men, "and with this
effective Sepoy army hold the Philip
pines, Hawaii and Porto Rico, paying
the army of occupation out of the local
revenues" Continuing, the Spectator
says: with such a garrison these ISL
ands would be as safe as a drawing
room, and as full of business as Broad
way or the Strand"
Referring to the outcome of the war,
the Spectator remarks: 1.-THE Ameri-
cans will emerge from the war with
new ideas and larger ambitions. They
will have defeated second-class Eu-
ropean state and will feel acutely that
as matters stand, they would have
been defeated by first-class one. They
could not have fought France, to say
nothing of Great Britain, without suf-

Russell sage's Monument.

From Harper's Weekly.
Boston architect, Mr.. Longfellow, has won
a prize of $1,000 for the best design for an
elevated railroad station. 1t will be interest
ing to observe what progress Boston can make
toward making an elevated railroad a thing of
beauty No doubt if the New York elevated
were to be built over again its appearance
would be ameliorated, for we certainly do
things of that sort better now than thirty
years ago. About our elevated railroad as it
is there are unnecessary disfgurements, some
of which are SO queer and conspicuous as
to have certain comic value. Consider for
example, the terminus Of the Sixth avenue
road at Fortyninth street. The elevated
tracks project about thirty feet beyond the
house line of Fifty-ninth street and are
crowned at their extremity by toolshed of
the simplest design, constructed at total
cost of perhaps S42. That shed occupies year
after year, the most conspicuous site on that
street One may overlook the Navarro flats or
the new Athletic club building. but the simple
and enduring toolshed of the Sixth avenue
elevated, defying oversight, stands out like
a monument to Russell Sage.
