A RIOT ON A TRAIN.

Reports of Bloody Battle on North
bound o. II. II. r. Train.
PARKERsBURG, Jan. 3. 3.-Reports were
circulated Monday afternoon, of u most
sanguinary conflict on the northbound
o. r. r. R. train.
About twenty men, presumed to be
the crew of the towboat Sam Brown
which is laid up here, boarded the train
at this point and started to go to their
home at Pittsburg. When the train
got few miles above the city, gen
eral fight, growing out of bad feeling
among the men, was precipitated. The
train crew were unable to quell the
disturbance, which rapidly grew into
the proportions of riot. When the
train reached Williamstoa the men
we're still fighting and occupied ore
car to them m-elyes. When ". 7erly
was reached people there saw raz)rs
and guns drawn and bloody bodies and
battered faces. AT Sistersvile the
fight had subsided little, but blood
was flowing out the car door and one
man was said to have been almost
dead from the loss of blood, from a
cash in his throat
A later report says that four men
are probably fatally injured, but no
names are given. Officers at Sisters
vile were unable to cope with the
gang, but they will probably be taken
in hand when the train reaches Wheel
ing. If the first reports are true, the
affair may turn out one, or perhaps
more than one, murder.
Four of the men were arrested at
Sistersville.
THE LATEST.
The man who was most seriously
and probably fatally hurt was taken
off the train at Sistersville. He may
die.
The man who cut him was arrested
there and is being brought back to st.
Mary's where the trouble occurred.
Names are unknown.

PUERTO RICO.
Facts apd Figures Relating to This Latest Additie
to the Upited States.

the bulk Of the population is OF the
Malay and mixed races, but somewhat
worse than in Cuba, where only about
81 per cent. Of the people are colored.
as against 40 per cent. in Puerto Rico.
In Hawaii 81 per cent. Of the people are
natives, Mongolians and of mixed
races; only 10 per cent. are white. In
South Carolina 50 per cent. of the pop
ulation are colored, in Mississippi IS
per cent; in Louisiana, 50 per cent.
The white population in these south
ern states, however, Is greatly su-
perior to the white element in either
Cuba or Puerto Rico; our southern
white people are chiefly of English
descent. while the Caucasians living
in the West Indies are mostly of Span
ish origin or immigrants from con-
tinental Europe. Eighty-six per cent.
of the inhabitants of Puerto Rico do
not know how either to read or write.
This is a much poorer showing than in
Cuba, where 33 per cent. know at least
how to read. In South Carolina the IL
literates compose IS per cent. of the
whole populations; in Mississippi, 10
per cent; in Louisiana, 46 per cent.
San Juan is the capital of Puerto
Rico, and contains nearly $4,000 inhab-
itants. 1t is situated on a small island
on the north coast, joined to the main
land by bridge. There is a good har-
Dor, protected by a MORO castle near
the harbor entrance, San Cristobal
fortress on the land side, the fort of
Caballero on an felevation, and several
smaller Notifications. Ponce, on the
south coast, is about half the size of
San Juan, and there are numerous
smaller towns and villages. Puerto
Rico is traversed by 13 highways and
Is side roads; it has less than 100 miles
OF narrow gauge railroad, and only
about $50 miles of telegraph lines.
San Juan is connected with Jamaica
and St. Thomas by cable.
Puerto Rico was discovered by Co
lumbus in November, 1893, on his sec
ond voyage to America. San Juan was
founded by Ponce de Leon in 1911. The
native Inhabitants, as in Cuba, were en-

returned to his native town and devoted
himself eagerly to cultivating his patri-
mony, in spite of the persistence Of the
Recollets in not recognizing his rights.
Thus matters went on until 1893,
when DIR. Rial created at Manila the
Philippine league. 1t has no other OH
jects, this league, than to unite poUt-
ically the archipelago with the metrop-
oils. 1t was Of short duration, for, to
belong to it, It was necessary to have
an annual revenue to 1000 francs.
Eizal was deported, and soon afterward
was formed another secret society,
which in short time counted more
than 25O, 600 members. 1t called itself
by the name of "Katipunan," which
signifies society Of cooperation and Of
protection for rural sicialists."
1t was then that the government Of
the Philippines, confounding the mem-
hers of the '.Katapunan" with the Phil
ippine league and the freemasons, un-
dertook against the natives the policy
of repression, cruel and merciless.
which has been 20 fatal. An order was
given to arrest Aguinaldo. who was
suspected Of being one Of the most ac-
tive chiefs Of the freemascns. The
Spanish officer charged with this mis-
sion presented himself before the
dwelling with q dozen native soldiers,
armed with bayonets. Aguinaldo.
without IN instant's hesitation,
knocked out the brains of the unhappy
officer; then, harrangihg the escort. he
shamed them at being ip the service OF
= power which for SO many centuries
had oppressed their country. His ap-
peal to rebellion was without doubt
eloquent. for the little troupe acclaimed
him, and putting him at its head, went
out Of linus, gaining the wooded
heights which surround the village.
This was the nucleus of the insurgent
army, which now consists of not less
than 81, 600 combatants, having for its
unquestioned chief the black-balled
student Of the University Of st. Tomas

slaved and finally exterminatcd; negro
slavery was then established and con-
tinued until 1873. Spain's sovereignty
in Puerto Rico has remained undis-
tnrbed except for attacks by the Eng
lish in 1895. 1898. 1878 and 1897, none of
which produced permanent results,
and a revolution Of the inhabitants
themselves in 1920, which was sup
pressed in 1922. The system of govern
ment is like that in Cuba, and equally
burdensome. The revenues are ex-
pended almost wholly for Spanish pur-
poses; in a recent annual budget. for
instance. pensions, interest on Spanish
debt and salaries of colonial officers
living in Spain consumed $735, ,92S.6O;
the courts, and expenses Of the estab-
lished Catholic church, $a7s. .740.sO; in-
crease of Spanish navy. $50, ,16O.66;
public works, $27o.214.02; civil govern
ment. Sis, 1885; while Puerto Rico
had to contribute s., ,066, ,595. so towards
Spain's war expenses in Cuba and the
Philippines.
Puerto Rico is 50 much smaller than
either Cuba or the Philippines that the
social and political disadvantages of
permanently attaching it to this coun-
try would not, perhaps, be serious. and
might be over-balanced by the strate-
gic value of the island as = coaling
station and naval rendezvous. The
Philippines might be disposed of to
some European power, or to japan.
but with Puerto Rico the case is differ
ent. When any American colony once
passes out Of European control 1t
ought to remain out; either 1t should
have an independent government of
its own or come under the controlling
influence of some already existing
American republic.
The chief danger In annexing Puerto
Rico to the United States is the inn
petus such a step gives to similar &C
ton in reference to other territory
whose Incorporation in the union
would be a positive detriment and
menace to our social progress. Prob
ably the best solution of the problem
would be an American protectorate Of
the island. under which the machinery
Of an independent government should
be set in motion and supervised until
its operation became automatic and
safe. ~..-.

Became . Powee.

Il was on the 18th OF May that the
chief Of tn. philippine insurgents,
Aguinaldo. having quilted Hong Kong,
where he had retired after the conven.
ton of Blacna bato. landed at Cavite.
Everyone is persuaded that he was re
called by Commodore Dewey. who
gave him on his arrival q warm well
come. That of the natives was enthu-
siastic.
President OF the republic of the Phil
ippine Archipelago, is the title that he
proposes to assume shortly.
Aguinaldo is but - years old. He
was born in the village of linus, in the
province OF Cavite, and lived there un-
til the rebellion His family titled the
soil-rice fields and sugar cane-the
possession of which the Order of the
"Recollets," the greatest proprietors
OF the province, contested by incessant
lawsuits.
The father of Aguinaldo, having lit
tie means, endured great privations in
order to enter his SON in the college of
st. Jean de Lateran; then at the Uni
versity of st. Tomas, at Manila. The
cost of entering these establishments
is high enough: it varies from 1900
francs to $500 francs a year, accord
ing to the wealth Of the family,
Aguinaldo, although he passed easi-
ly from the college to the university,
was considered by his professors as
having the most obtuse mind of all the
students. For three years he wore the
costume of the university and OBJ
served its severe discipline and frugal
regimen, but without obtaining the
least intellectual benefit.
The Dominicans, despairing Of max
ing Aguinaldo any credit to them, sent
him back to his father, advising the lat
ter to find for his SON ascareer quite
other than that of the priest, letters
or Of science-the profession of arms.
Gen. Ascaraga, WHO was born in the
Philippines, who has been chief of
state at Madrid. minister of war and
lately president Of the council Of min
listers in Spain, also made his first
studies at the University of St. Tomas
and was also sent back to his family as
an incapable stadent.

these islands. 1t is tTaversed by the
eighteenth parallel, north latitude;
but, although wholly within the trop

above 81 degrees. owing to the prevail
ing ng,northeast winds. The latitude i.
about the same as that of Bombay and
northern Luzon in the Philippine
islands. Puerto Rico's latitude (66 d.

but none navigable. Puerto Rico il

The chief products are coffee and
sugar: tobacco is extensiyely cult

permits cattle raising on an extensive
scale. Gold. iron, coal, copper and
salt are found in Puerto Rico. but only
the salt mines are worked. The total
exports of the island in 1895 amounted

to make protest to Gen. Shafter re
garding the retention of Spanish civil
officials in Santiago after the sur
render of that city.
''Why is Santiago to remain in the
hands of our enemies?" he asked Of
Shafter. The reply was as follows:
.'The Spaniards are not our enemies.
We are fighting the soldiers of Spain,
but we have no desire to despoil her
citizens. No Cuban will be allowed to
enter the city, nor will any American
soldier"
When Castillo carried this reply to
Garcia, the latter withdrew his forces
as allies and sent in his resignation.
Castillo was noted leader of Cuban
expeditions against the Spanish before
the war broke out and is very popular.
He is also a doctor and has u brother,
Demetrius, in the Cuban army. Cas-
