SPANISH METHODS ALL ALIKE
Government as It is Conducted in
Porto Rico

New York, April ia correspondent
of the Herald writing from Porto Rico,
says:
In Cuba the scant success achieved
by autonomy was attributed to the dis
position of the rebels. In Porto Rico,
SPANS other western colony there are
no insurgents, yet the scheme of auto
nomy gives little promise of ultimate
success. The failure of autonomy
here is due not to the unwillingness of
the people to accept it, but because, as
put into practical operation, it is not the
genuine article.
There is little fault to be found with
the scheme on paper, but it does not
work. The clog in the machinery is
due to the harsh, bigoted. domineering
military element, that will be supreme
in authority or nothing. This military
element is corrupt, ignorant and inhu-
man. 1t has all the faults that weaken
power finally, but it clings to suprema-
cy in a most remarkably tenacious
manner. We call this military spirit
Weylerism, the Dons call it national
pride.
Spain's premier does not know how
his plans and orders are being carried
out in the colonies. He is misled and
the truth is kept from him. No news
of complaint is allowed to reach Mad
rid from here from the opposition,
the other day when the autonomist
cabinet became dissatisfied and re-
signed, every effort was made to sup
press the fact But the news was
published and then the authorities here
were startled by a telegram from Mad
rid demanding full details. Then came
the election riots, when both troops and
citizens were shot down. EncouI ged
by foreign examples, some of the loca.
papers had the courage to protest
against the manner in which the cleo
lions were conducted These papers
have been suppressed and editors, re-
porters and even compositors are now
behind lock and bar in prison. Auto
nomy at any rate has not brought free
dom of speech.
Three days before the election took
place the autonomist cabinet-at least
the majority-resigned, the reason be
ing that they had not been left free to
choose their candidates but were
requested to take their choice of can
didates nominated by the military au-
thorities. The same evening an at
tempt was made to hold a meeting
an indignation meeting-at the theater.
Police and troops were called out and
at one stage matters became so critical
that officers in charge gave orders to
present arms. Only sober counSels
prevented bIoodShed.
On election day, Sunday March 81
several persons were killed in the coun-
try towns In the event of war it is
hard to predict the attitude that the
Porto Ricans will adopt. Few of them
know that war threatens. The major
ity know little of what is going on in
the outside world. No news bulletins

GEN. LEE DECLINES.
Does Not Want ANY Fuss Made Over
Him.

Washington. April 15.-GeneraI Fitz-
hugh Lee declined the honor of the re-
ception rendered when the committee
waited upon him to receive his final de-
cision. He started his speech of de-
clination in characteristic manner.
Look here, boys he said in a mat
ter-of-fact tone, Il have not done a
thing that either one of you, or any
American would not have done, and I
don't see why there should be any fuss
made about it.
Now, I don't want you to think I'm
ungrateful, for 1 am not, but 1 have
studied over the matter. and I feel sat-
isfied that it would be better not to
have the reception. I don't want for an
instant, anybody to think that I wish
to put myself forward, and must de-
cline your most kind Offer"
One of General Lees most intimate
friends said that one reason for his not
wanting the reception was that he rec
ognized the fact that he occupied an Of
fetal position and felt hesitancy in
accepting any formal demonstration on
this account.

HOBART REBUKED.
Senators Call Him to Order For
Addressing the Galleries.

Washington. April 15.-Within a few
minutes of adjournment of the senate
yesterday a sensation was created by the
efforts of the vice president to subdue the
applause induced by the effort made to
be taken.
Vice President Hobart directly addressed
the galleries and ordered that the ap-
plause should cease.
1.-The chair himself is out of order"
shouted Mr.. Gray (Dela.). He has no
right to directly address the people in
the galleries"
such thing was never done before in

WHAT DO YOU DRINK?
Many Kidney Troubles Traced to Poi
sonous Beverages-A Remedy
Discovered.

The enormous increase in the con-
sumption of all kinds of beverages re-
CARELESS of their ingredients has re-
suited in a material increase in the
number of people with disordered kid
neys, this fact being attested by lead
ing physicians who report a constant
increase in the number OF patients at
f1icted with this trouble.
Many of the popular drinks of the
day being composed of essential oils
and coloring matter contain a sediment
of q highly deleterious character. This
matter lodges in the kidneys retarding
their action and making it impossible
for them to filter the blood as nature
intended. AS a result the blood is fore
ed to carry it's impurities through the
system over and over again until every
function is deranged and disease takes
a hand.
1t does not require a physicians
knowledge to recognize the symptoms
of 6isordered kidneys. Dull pains in
the back. sallow skin, continuous head
ache, loss of flesh and the absence of
ambition are positive indications which
no one should neglect.
Although physicians have long rea1iz-
ed the growing danger of kidney trou-
bles they seemed unable to provide an
adequate remedy, until John Morrow,
an eminent chemist. of Springfield, Ohio,
after long research succeeded IN pro-
ducing, under the name of Morrow's
Kidneoids, a remedy that promises to
upset all previous methods of treating
the kidneys.
a peculiar combination of remedial
agents the full strength of which have
been concentrated in small pills. They
act directly on the weakened kidneys
eliminating all poisonous deposits,
Strengthening the tissues, reorganizing
the functions. The fact that nearly all
diseases have their origin in the blood
coupled with the knowledge that the Of
flee of the kidneys is to filter the blood
of all effete matters, the retention of
which result in the most serious conse-
Quences make obvious the Importance
of such a discovery.
The results obtained from the use of
MorroH's KidneoidS even when taken
without a physicians direction have
been so remarkable as to justify the
gratitude of the entire world being laid
at the door of this scientific discovery.
Morrow's Kidneoids are now on sale
generally

RAISES A GHOST.
Oregon Republican Convention Re-
solves on the Currency Question.

Astoria. Ore. April 15-When the Re
publican state convention met yesterday
the following telegram was ordered sent
to President Mckinley:
with the utmost confidence in the wis
dom of your administration and pledging
you the support of the state of Oregon
we express our earnest conviction that the
criminal neglect of the Spanish officers
and that this outrage is just cause for
the United States to drive the Spanish ma
ton from the western hemisphere.
When the telegram was read the con-
vention rose en- masse and cheered wildly
for Mckinley.
A recess was then taken.
When the convention met last night a
platform was adopted, the financial plank
of which was as follows:
I'VE are in favor of the maintenance of
the present gold standard; we are un-
qualifedly opposed to the free coinage of
silver and to all other schemes looking to
the debasement of the currency and the
reputation of debts. We believe that
the best money in the world is none too
good to be assured by the government to
the laborer as the fruit of his toll and to
the farmer as the price of his crop
We condemn the continued agitation
for free silver as calculated to jeopardize
the prosperity of the country and to sh.I<e
the Confidence of the people in the MAN
tenance of wise financial policy. We
particularly condemn as unpatriotic the
efforts of the free silver agitators to ar
ray class against class and section against
section. We declare that the interests
of all classes and all sections of our coun-
ancial system.
Concerning the threatened war with
while we deplore the imminence of
war, we recognize that the country is on
dicatio of national honor and the per-
Torrance of a work dictated by every in
stinct of humanity.
I'VE declare that the administration is
entitled in this conflict to the confidence
and support of the entire people,

GERMANS DON'T LIKE 1T.
Strong Feeling in Berlin Against Nc
Kinley's Policy.

Kinley's Policy.
Berlin, April 15.-According to advices
from Kiel, the United States is negoti-
ating for the purchase of the torpedo
catchers Timburi and Tupy, now being
built at the German yards for Brazil
which offers more ships for sale. Hol-
land also is inclined to sell two armor
ed cruisers.
The Timburi and Tupy are among the
fastest vessels in the world, capable of
% knots an hour.
1t is said here that all the American
officers on furlough in Europe have been
ordered home forthwith Owing to the
million of Germans in America, the ex-
element in Berlin is intense. Nearly
all the papers refer in strong language
to President McKinley's message, and
the feeling of the public is strongly
against the United States.

fire was reported to be in the Chinese
school house on School street and
the whistle sent large crowd of
inquisitive people to the spot. When
the engines arrived the fire had been
extinguished. 1t seems that some OF
the chemicals in the cabinet Of the
school house exploded and some
frightened person turned in the alarm.
Natives arrived with bucket and the
fire was soon at an end.
