iunct to church work, but such one has
been started in connection with St. John s
Protestant Episcopal church Of Jersey
City. The church Is ono of the wealthiest
and most fashionable in the big city of
railroad terminals The boxing class was
started by the pastor, Rev. Edward L..
Stoddard, who some time ago caused
something of a sensation by organizing
weekly dances for the members of his BIZ
BILE class and engaging u dancing master
to teach those who did not know how.
Connected with st. John s church is an
auxiliary known as the Young People 3
institute, in which DR.. Stoddard takes a
lively interest. Its members are the young
men and young women Of the church. Ad-
joining the church edfice in the rear is
a building given over entirely to the mem

fitted up as gymnasium, and it is here

PORTO RICO MUST WAIT
THE PROPOSED EXPEDITION HAS
BEEN ABANDONED
Plans of the Army and Navy Unknown
but It Is Thought All Troops
Will Be Sent to Cuba

NEW YORK, June PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The project to occupy Porto Rico is now
regarded by the highest military authorities
of both the navy and army as practically
removed from immediate consideration, and
unless the death rate of Gen. Skaters army
from diseases indigenous to Cuban soil is
exceedingly high, the presidents desire for
the prosecution of general aggressive
campaign throughout the entire island Of
Cuba may be promptly entered upon the,
moment Santiago is captured.
The suggestion of Porto Riean campaign
to precede the invasion of Cuba was put
forth more than month ago, before Adj
miral Sampson bombarded San JUAN and
pending the uncertainty regarding the des-
tination of Cervera's squadron, then several
weeks at sea from Cape Verde. The unex-
pected difficulties met with in organizing
the great volunteer army needed for the
Cuban campaign, together with the urgent
warning delivered by medical experts
against the advisability of exporting raw,
unacclimated recruits to the pestilential
climate of Havana and the surrounding
country where the blockade conditions were
presumed to be unusually favorable to a
devastating scourge of yellow fever, to-
gether with the comparative salubrty of
Porto Rico and the relatively small Spanish
force holding that island, worked strongly
to bring about the approval of the scheme
to obtain control of it as a war necessity.
The desirable diplomatic point supposed to
be gained through actual occupation before
Spain could sue for peace in Difference 10
strong pressure in that direction which 1t
was well known was being exerted at Mad
rid, gave no little weight to the project and
preparations for its accomplishment went
forward so energetically that even after
Cervera had shut himself up at Santiago
and both Commodore Schley and Admiral
Sampson had confessed that an attempt to
eject him would prove futile without the
cooperation Of an army corps. the Porto
Rican enterprise was not abandoned but

was temporarily pushed aside by the more
imperative necessity of sending Gen. SHAFT
ter to Santiago as expeditiously as possible.
His fleet of transports had barely sailed
from Tampa last week before many Of
ficials in Washington in the absence of any
countermanding of the original orders for
mobilizng the Porto Rican expedition,
again took up its details and were hurrying
the preparations along on the original
lines when General Miles returned and
convinced the highest authorities that the
best of military reasons existed for con-
centrating every resource of the govern
ment, for the time being at least, upon the
support of General Shafter. whose campaign
was of more hazardous nature than had
been generally appreciated. Notwith-
standing the excellent equipment and the
trained forces which had been provided in
this army corps, the fact that 5000 men
were to be landed in strange country In
the face of the much more numerous force,
whose exact strength could only be esti-
mated, will prove the crucial event of the
whole war. Its success may be expected
to result in Spains prompt realization of the
futility of further resistance while serious
reverse, even of a temporary character,
might indefinitely prolong the duration of
hostilities.
The illusion that the actual possession of
Porto Rico constituted any valid advantage
from an international law point was speed
lily dispelled by the citation of presidents,
the most recent of them being the acquisi-
tons by Japan of Formosa at the treaty
Of Shimonseki, although the island was in
possession of China at the close of the war.
1t was also made evident that the United
States had absolute justification which
could not be combatted by neutrals, for ex-
acting the surrender of Porto Rico by Spain
as an indemnity against part of the cost of
the war, especially as it was universally
conceded that this government already had
the power of eventually debating the terms
of peace. In fact, if there existed any re-
sponsible argument for running the risk of
sacrificing General Shafter for the acquisi-
ton of Porto Rico at present, it has yet to
be supported with any telling weight in the
opinion of state department officials and
members of the diplomatic corps in WASH
ington. 1t now appears to be conclusively
settled that no further attention will be
paid to Porto Rico for the present, unless
pit develops a strategic Importance, utterly
unrecognized at the present time.
