Domingo Collazo, Raphael Maxeuach and Emelio Gcnzales. W. P. Sutton was assistant secretary and executive officer of the republican congressional committee during the last national campaign. He was fol five years consul and ten years consul general in Mexico, and in 1889 was de- tailed as chief clerk of the information al pan-American congress. Antcnic Matei is a leading coffee planter in Porto Rico, and has been a merchant there.
 Mateo Figardo is a leading merchant on the island.
 r. BesCsa is commission mer- chant of New York city, where he has resided for many years. | Raphael Munoz has been bookkeeper in a leading mercantile house of Porto Rico
 Domingo Collazo has been selected as secretary of the commission, and he and Jose Budet, Raphael MaXcuach and Emelio Gonzales are all connected by blood with leading families of the island
 All of the above Porto Ricans are strongly in favor of the annexation Of their island, and do not approve the project of small faction of their countrymen who wish to get rid of Spanish misrule by the establishment of an independent government. Many of those Porto Ricans have been at their homes as late as June, and are in close touch with the affairs on the island. They will doubtless give Gen eral Miles much information that will assist in making his invasion success full, as they know the country per fectly.
 MT. Mattel especially has a large per sonal following in Porto Rico, as he was the leader in the revolution on the island in 1897. He had an elabor- ate plan for an uprising of the people against the Spanish government, and was to distribute arms among his fol- lowers on a given day. The vessels to bring arms to Porto Rico were to sail from Hayti, but President Hereux was informed of the plan by Spanish spies and refused to allow the vessels to sail and confiscated the arms. Mattel was thrown in jail and finally secured his release by the payment of large sum of money.

 The excursion to Prescott and Whip pie Barracks is going to take more people cut of Phusnix than ever left the city in one day. There are sev- eral reasons why this will be so. h the first pla.e the objsct Of the trip is to bid the volunteers ia, ewell, for there is a well authenticated rumor from Washir gtcn that they wi b. ordered to San Francisco early, next week. In the next place the excur- sion is under the direction of B com pany, N. G. A., and every member is an exoursion agent. Then again the extraordinarily low fare of $4 for the round trip is attractive. It is made still more so by the condition that the return ticket is good on any train for eight days. This will give many an opportunity to visit friends who are spending the summer at Prescott. The excursion will be accompanied by the Pioneer band. On Saturday night this band will consolidate with the Pres colt band and the regimental band under Professor Otto Eberhardt, and will give grand concert. There will be more than fifty pieces in the con- solidated band On the day of the ar rival at the barracks there will be a grand parade followed by the pre- sentation of the regimental flag to Governor McCord's regiment by the I. O. G. T. of the territory. Among the unique advertisements of the ex- cursion in the show windows of the city are photographs of the excursion train.

TO TEACH PORTO RICO.
Her People 10 Learn How 10 Become
 United States.

Washington, Aug "A party of nine Porto Ricans, accompanied by w. r. Sutton, have left this city for New port News, Va, to embark and report to General Miles at Porto Rico. They are to receive instructions from Gen eral Miles regarding their future move ments. It is understood that they will be landed in Porto Rico with instruc- tions to make their way to different sections Of the island and tell the peo- pie of the results of the war up to the present time, and to do what they can to bring about feeling of friendliness on the part of Porto Ricans toward Americans.
 The party may be regarded as a commission of the United States gcv- ernment in semi-official sense, as their transportation to Porto Rico will be at the expense of the government and they will receive instructions from General Miles, though they are not un- der salary and their instructions will really be in the nature of suggestions on the part of the general commanding the army. With one exception they have until lately lived in Porto Rico, and all of them have many relatives and friends residing there in all parts of the island, and in this way, it is thought, credence will be given their statements and the Porto Ricans will be informed regarding the true situa- tion outside of the island.
 The latest information received in this country from Porto Rico shows | that the people there believe Dewey fleet was defeated at Manila that Ger vra has cru1sed about the West Indies | and along the Atlantic coast, achieving many victories, and that the Spanish arms have prevailed over the Ameri- cans, wherever the two forces have met. In Porto Rico the Spanish vic | tory at Manila" and "the successful bombardment of Boston" have been celebrated with magnificent ceremo- nies, and lately the people have beer told that the Spanish fleet is preparing for an overwhelming blow to the Unit ed States in the bombardment of New York city. The attack Of the Ameri, can fleet on San Juan de Porto Rico which was brief and intended only tc draw the fire of the batteries there i; generally regarded on that island as defeat of the American feet The re, suit of all these false reports is there i is feeling in Porto Rico that the de lenses of that island are impregnable in any attack the Americans can brins to bear on them. Men who waver ir their allegiance toward Spain are through these reports, made to fee that Spain will predominate in the wal and they support the Spanish govern. ment.
 The Porto Ricans who left here fol their homes will show the people there that they are being misled and tha the United States will inevitably talk the island. There is very large DOT tion of the population at heart favor able to annexation, and it is believed that through these means much cal be done to bring about friendly coop eration on the part of the inhabitant of the island.
