SOLDIERS ACCUSED OF
LAWLESS DEPREDATI0NS
Cabinet Considers a Series of Com
plants From Porto
Rico

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The Cabinet
session to-day was devoted to a large
extent to the consideration of complaints
that have reached the War Department
alleging a state of practical anarchy in
Porto Rico
These complaints assert that the law
less elements are committing depredations
of the gravest character, and that the
seriousness of the situation is increased
by the fact that United States troops
likewise have been guilty of gross mis-
conduct. Secretary Alger, at the in
stance of the President, cabled General
Brooke inquiring as to the accuracy of
the complaints.
The most serious allegations are against
brigands and laWless elements in the
smaller towns away from the coast. 1t
is said that, taking advantage of the IN
settled state of the country due to the
transfer of the Government from Spain
to the United States, bands of men have
organized for robbery and rapine, burn
ing houses and plantations and levying
tribute upon the people wherever posi-
bic. In one case, it is said, they made a
raid on small town of about 15,0 900 in
habitants, fifteen miles from the nearest
troops. and burned and destroyed prop
erty to a considerable value.
General Brooke at San Juan has been
instructed to use the full strength of the
military forces at his command for the
suppression of rioting and the restoration
of peace and order in the land.

During the initiatory ceremonies he was
blindfolded and given several shocks from
a live wire. The bandage over his eyes
having become loosened, he sought to out
wit those who were having fun at his ex-
pense by locating the wire and attempting
to avoid it. One of the initiating team,
seeing the candidate was about to evade
the wire, gave him a little shove, which
proved sufficient to throw him off his bal

him unconscious.
After working over him for two hours

that his right arm hung limp and loose

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-While twenty

TO RAISE SPANISH WARSHIPS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18-The Unit
ed States navy will soon possess more
than a sprinkling of foreign built war
ships. Admiral Dewey has informed
the Navy Department that he has con-
tracted with a Hongkong firm of
wreckers to raise three of the Spanish
war vessels sunk in the battle of Ma
Mia last May day. The cost of raising
the ships and putting them into thor
ough repair will be 100000 The YES
sells to be raised are gunboats of large
type, and in the opinion of Chief Con-
structor Hichborn they will be the very
best kind of craft for the protection Of
the United States interests among the
Philippines and along the Asiatic coast.
They are the sister ships Isla de Cuba

DON CARLOS IS
GROWING BOLD
Open Threats Against
the Dynasty.
WILL ISSUE A MANIFESTO
DECLARES THE TIME TO ACT
HAS COME.
Discomfort of the Army Made the
Most Of by the Followers
of the Spanish
Pretender.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Standard, whose
dispatch is forwarded from the Span
ish frontier, says: The state of the
army causes anxiety in politi
cal and official circles. 1t is
an open secret that officers of all
ranks and the repatriated soldiers are
discontented-first, at the payment
of arrears, and then because they are
profoundly mortified at the manner in
which the war was conducted, which
prevented the army getting a much
desired opportunity of coping with the
Americans, as they believed the army
would have turned the tide in Spain's
favor.
Thus far the Republicans have not
attempted TO tamper with the loyalty
of the army, but the CaTlists are posi-
lively trying to do so in Catalonia and
Valencia. They announce tn impend-
ing publication of a manifesto, chiefly
addressed to the artillery, declaring
that Don Carlos no longer considers
himself bound to show any considera-
ton for the present dynasty and Gov
eminent, whose shortcomings and err
rors have involved the loss of both
territory and honor.
The Carlists' threats are now so open
that all classes denounce their propa-
ganda. The Madrid press sarcastically
advises the Government not to allow
itself again to be painfully surprised
by the Carlist rising as it was by the
Cuban and Philippine rebellions. Gen
era1 Wevler is regarded by Spanish Of
ficials as the most powerful and popu-
lar among them. He seems inclined to
avoid political intrigues, and even
shows a disposition to support Senior
Sagasta and the Queen Regent. Neither
Marshal Campos nor General Pola-
vieja enjoys equal prestige with the

Glass is the commander Of the
Charleston. SO far nothing has been
done by the administration toward
curling the insurgents in their opera
tions, save verbal representations from
the American commanders to Aguinal-
do, in which it has been pointed out to
him that it would be good policy, in
view of the probability Of the annexa-
ton of the islands by the United States
to pursue a course that would not be
obnoxious to the United States. But
the situation is now realized to be
critical So far as the Spaniards are
concerned perhaps they can be left to
take care Of themselves, but the for
eign residents at IloiIo are differently
regarded.
The difficulty in the situation is that
with the best intentions to intervene to
protect the Europeans and other for
eigners and to save the city of Iloilo,
the second in Importance in the Philip
pine group, from footing, the United
States forces appear to be stopped I'M
der the rules OF war from moving from
their positions. Such is the construc-
ton placed upon the clause in the pro-
tocol relating to q suspension of hos
tilities.
The immediate effect of this state of
affairs may be to hasten action in the
Paris conference, for it is only by the
termination of that tribunal that the
United States can come TO the relief Of
the belea guered Spaniards in Iloilo and
other points. 1t is said to be a fact,
however, that a total disagreement at
Paris may result in speedier action
than if the commissioners agreed upon
the main principles of the Philippine
CessiOn, for in such case several ad-
ditionaI sessions probably would be re-
quired in order to arrange the details
of the treaty.
It is now thought to be certain that
the commission at a meeting next Mon
day or Tuesday will do one of two
things, i. e., either agree to the ces-
sion of the Philippines or note a dis
agreement and dissolve the meeting,
for the administration is not disposed
to tolerate further delay and has so
instructed the United States commits
sioners. The latter sent a long cable
gram to-day in cipher. The decipher-
ing occupied the entire official day
and meantime there were wild ru-
mors touching the nature of it's con-
tents. AS a matter of fact it was moth

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-A cablegram
to the Sun from Paris says: The stu

eminent has definitely decided to accept
the American terms, or rather the best
terms available. Instructions to this
effect have been received by Senior
Montero Rios, president of the Spanish
Commission, and his associates, from
Prime Minister Sagasta, and although
Senior Montero Rios does not withdraw
his declaration that he will never yield
to the American demands, there can
be no doubt of the final result.
