LAW AT PORTO RICO
Of Martial Kind and Most Tyrannic.
ally Enforced

y
ally Enforced
ST. THOMAS, West Indies, April 28-
Porto Rico advices received here today
say that four Spanish gunboats are at
San Juan de Porto Rico. They are being
painted black, or possibly dark gray.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Porto Rico, and it is being enforced in a
tyrannical manner. Crowds of people are
leaving for the interior and the capital is
almost deserted by the civilian popula-
ton. The military is engaged in prepar-
ing for the defense of the island. Thirty
torpedoes have been planted in the chan
mel. In addition an old steamship has
been sunk across the harbor entrance, the
buoys in the channel have been altered,
and from Monday last, after the news of
the blockade of Havana reached there, ac-
companied by report that the Cuban
capital had been bombarded, all the lights
were ordered to be eXtinguished at night.
The French residents, when these ad-
vices left San Juan, were seeking refuge
on board the French cruiser, Admiral
Rigault de Genoully.
An American sugar estate, it is an
nounced, was plundered after the re-
ceipt Of the news of the declaration of war
between Spain and the United States. The
British Consul at San Juan, who has
charge of American interests, has cabled
to his government requesting that Brit
ish warship be sent to that port.
Danger is apprehended from the in
competent and youthful volunteers of
Porto Rico. They are armed with Mauser
rifles and are displaying considerable war
enthusiasm.
Arecibo Bay, on the west coast of the
Island, has been planted with torpedoes
from the signal station to a point about
one mile west of it. There are many
Spanish volunteers here and on their way
to Porto Rico.
Spanish steamers landed at Maiguez
seventy miles from San Juan, on Tuesday
quantity of arms and ammunition, and
there was a similar landing of supplies al
San Juan on Tuesday. Besides this about
5000 tons of provisions were landed at San
Juan on Sunday last. The warehouses OF
Porto Rico are reported to be full of pro-
visions and the Spanish authorities say
they can stand siege of two months.
| All the coast lights have now been or.
| dered to be eXtinguished. No United
States warships are known to be in the
| vicinity of Porto Rico.

A PLETHORA OF MEN
San Bernardino Will Probably Have
Two Company KS

SAN BERNARDINO, April 2S.-The
sheep men are getting in their disgusting
and deadly work on the forest reserves and
mountain streams, that promises to breed
O pestilence before the summer Is over
there being no remedy for 1t, as they are
supported in the work by the national gov
ernment. They have come into the county
in swarms, with further flocks behind
those already here, until the promise is of
from $4,000 to 100000 sheep to summer
along the streams of the county and de-
stroy every green thing the sheep can
reach on the mountain side. Word was sent
to the county health officer Monday that
the sheep were lying dead in the irrigating
bitches. Yesterday he took assistance,
and out of the Rialto ditch, which is of ce-
ment, they pulled fifty dead and dying
sheep, rotting In the water that is used by
the whole OF Rialto above the Santa Fe
track for drinking and domestic purposes
as well as for irrigation. For the latter the
water may do, although the germs of dis
ease will permeate the atmosphere, but
when 1t comes to using the dead mutton
broth, with the wool on, for drinking and
cooking purposes there is no prospect of
escaping pestilence.
After attending to the Rialto ditch the
official took look at the canal that sup
plies San Bernardino with 100 inches of
water and also supplies Lower Rialto and
Bloomington with its domestic water sup
ply. He found this cement ditch in the
same condition, clogged with dead and rot
ting sheep. He had the canal cleaned out
from the carcasses and left men there to
hurry the sheep herders along faster. but
the latter is impossible, and they propose
to remain along the streams during the
summer. The attention of b. F. Allen and
C. S. Newhall, the forest reserve officials
has been called to the matter, but it is
doubtful If they can offer any assistance
after the government has thrown open the
mountain streams and forest reserves to
the sheep men.

RIVERSIDE RIPPLES
War Spirit on the MISREPRESENTATION
Towns Catch It

RIVERSIDE, April 2S.-The war spirit
is still on the increase here, and at the rate
men are enlisting, both in Company M and
the reserve company, this city will send out
couple of good-sized companies as soon
as they are called for.
The armory of Company M is one of the
liveliest places in the city, and every even-
ing there is large crowd there to witness
the drill of the new recruits, and last even
ing about twenty men signed enlistment
papers. 1t is the intention of the officers
of Company M to fill the ranks Of the COM
pany to the limit, and then recruit new
company to take the place of the old one
as soon as the latter goes to the front.
Company M is looking for marching or
ders not later than Tuesday next, and the
boys are expecting to be sent to San Fran
cisco first They have only one object
they would like to have carried out IN their
case and that is to be sent to the front
rather than to be assigned to do garrison
duty.
The residents of Arlington, not to be out
done by the residents of the city proper,
have taken steps to form a volunteer COM
pany, and so far about thirty-five men have
signified their intention to go to the front
with the proposed company.
The enthusiasm at Corona is also at fever
heat, and a resident of that town who was
here today stated that volunteer company
of thirty men had been enlisted, and that
it was thought that full company would
soon be ready to respond to any call the
president might make. San Jacinto, Elsi-
more and other towns in the county have
also sent in their representatives, and
these have been enrolled in the first volun-
teer company, now almost filled.
l.. w. Alum, who is in charge of the en-
rolling office, has forwarded the offer of
the volunteer company to go to the front TO
headquarters.

Gentlemen: While visiting In your city

Ovo Pile and Tumor Cure had cured her
of Piles, from which she had suffered for
over a year. She gave me some literature
to read, and 1 came to the conclusion
that symptoms which 1 thought were due
to Dyspepsia and Stomach Troubles were
in reality caused by Diseased Rectum,
particularly the sensation as of stick or
hard surface in the Rectum.
Before leaving the city I purchased q
bottle of Ovo Pile and Tumor Cure. 1T
CURED ME. My sister, who has been
troubled in the same way, went to her
druggist here to purchase your remedy.
He induced her to try a remedy which he
said was ''just as good" and which failed
to help her. Enclosed find $1.00, for which
please send her one bottle Of Ovo Pile and
Tumor Cure.
From my personal experience with the
remedy am positive 1t will cure her.

in the face of the contracts with the

day.

wages were lower and the necessares

something should be done for them.
