OBJECT TO DUTY LEVY.
Another element contributing to the
distress of the Porto Ricans is the fact
that the United States continues to
levy duty upon them. They had free
trade with Spain. The commercial re-
lations with Spain are now cut off by
the duties which Spain has levied since
the war. Porto Rico formerly sent
large quantities of tobacco to Cuba
Now there is a duty of 10 per cent.
There was no duty under Spanish rule.
Yet, with all their sufferings, the
Porto Ricans speak with pride as be-
longing to the United States. They
do not expect Porto Rico to become
state.
Porto Rico is the home of the
orange, yet oranges are rotting on the

CALLED GRICE "A MEAN CUSS'
AND DEFENDANT WAS GIVEN
SIX MoNTHS.
Sister of the Notorious Offender De-
clared He Was a Rascal-Con-
victed of Stealing Hay.

Justice Nielsen yesterday disposed of
one of the many cases now pending
against Sam Grice for larceny, in the
theft of hay and grain. Grice was given
six months after a verdict of guilty
had been returned by a jury, consisting
of Henry Van Aeislyn, Isaac Brock
bank, George Ingham and David Led

In this complaint, The defendant was
accused OF stealing q lot of hay (de-
scrlbed as $50 pounds from George c.
Lambert, a resident of the southeastern
part of the cry. In the course of The
trial Grice admitted having served four
terms in the oenitentiary for various
offenses, and the court evidently con-
sidered this fact in passing sentence.
Maggie Harrison, q sister of Grice,
took the stand for the defense. She
proved an invaluable witness for the
prosecution. She is a lady between so
and 80 years Of age, and hard of hear
ing. She said that Grice had bought
the hay with money furnished by her
self, but in answer to a question, said
her brother was "a mean rascal on gen.

Sam and Mary Grice. his wife, were
arraigned in Justice Sommers court

entered pleas Of not guilty. His bonds
were fixed at $500, and his wife's az

WATER FLOODED PEERY'S MILL
PROBABLY PIECE OF DEsPIC.
ABLE SPITE WORK.
Not Much Damage 'Done-Mill Will
Start Again This Morning-Water
Turned On at Night.

Peery Bros. Touring mill was flooded
some time before daylight yesterday
morning and probably $500 damage done
to wheat and mill products therein
stored. The water was turned on at a
tap in the second story, and flooded this
floor as we'll as the first floor and base
ment The greatest damage was done
in the basement, as the water ran down
through the wheat bins, damag ing
about 200 bushels of good grain. The
floor was flooded and quantity of bran
and shorts was soaked. On the ether
floors tiers of sacked -four was stacked,
but the bottom layer of sacks was all
that were dampened.
1t was q sorry looking mess for. the
first few hours yesterday, but the dam
aged goods were soon cleared out and
the mill Will resume this morning The
Hood was brought (: bout by a bundle of
paper bags being paced on the valve in
q barrel on the second floor, and the
escape pipe was closed with plug. It
is estimated that the water started to
flow about midnight.
John Z. Swenson, an employee at
the mill, was sleeping in the office, and
heard the water smashing on the first
floor about 6 O'clock. He Immediately
stopped the flow and summoned the
proprletorS. Investigations made dur
ing the day indicated that the work
was a piece Of spite work, and by some
one familiar with the mill and it's
workings. Entrance may have been eff
fected through tire front window of the
second story by means of a long lad
der, which had been used the day be-
fore shingling the old church across
the street, and which was stored for
the night in the yard of the Eccles
Lumber company, near at hand.
The mill has not been running nights
for about two rnonths, but will resume
this morning as usual.
Fortunately the fine electrical ma
cflinery Of the plant was well protect
ed and was not damaged. The mill is
one of the model mills of the country
and was put up about Two years ago. 1t
is operated by power from the Union
Light e Power companys dynamos.

BAD HERMAN YOUNG PEOPLE
INDIAN BUCK AND WHITE GIRL
ARRESTED.
Caddie Miller's Strange Infatuation
For Keats Woodru@-Pair Lodged
In the County Jail.

Deputy Sheriff Goldman of Murray
came in from Fort Herman last even
ing with two prisoners charged with
fornication. The pair are an Indian
with the sonoTous name of Keats
Woodruff and a 14-year-old girl named
Caddie Miller. The two were arrested
at the request of the girls father, who
is a farmer at Herman. 1t is stated
that despite her youth she has been
going with bad companypfor some time
and finally she came under the influ-
ence of the Indian. The latter, who is
a strapping big buck, about 80 years OF
age, took his arrest very nonchalantly
nor did the girl seem to take the mat
te~ very seriously. The two will be
taken before one of the local justices
today and, as the girl is beneath the
age of consent, it is possible that a
more serious charge will be lodged
against the Indian. The girls father
is anxious to have her sent to the re-
form school, as he says he is unable to
control her

PORTO RICANS IR:: STARVING
ONLY RELIEF WILL PREVENT
AN RESURRECTION.
Brigadier General Stone Brings Some
Startling Information TO the
States-Distress of the Natives.

New York, April THE Herald says:
Brigadier General Roy Stone will go to
Washington tomorrow, where he will
call the attention of the president to
the starvation and distress in Porto
Rico He thinks that the desperate
state of the people may lead to in
surrection if relief is not forthcoming.
He has just returned from a journey
of ten days through the interior of the
island. The general was attached to
the department of agriculture before
the war, and during hostilities he was
in Porto Rico as a member of General
Miles staff. This last trip was made
with a party of capitalists and rail-
road men. He was also invited by Ma
jor General Henry to give advice con-
corning the construction of roads
through the islands.
People are dying from starvation
all through the Interior said General
Stone. "In the district of Aguas Ba-
mas there were many deaths. The
Judge in the district of Generic showed
me a book in which he had recorded
the names of many who had died from
lack of food. General Grant reported
thirty-nine deaths from starvation in
one district. / saw hundreds of natives
emaciated and weak. When 1 left
Porto Rico there were 100000 persons
there who had neither bread nor meat
for two weeks.
SHORT CROPS RESPONSIBLE.
This state of affairs is largely due to
the short coffee crop and the ruinous
competition of Brazil. Porto Rican
coffee is selling at from to cents
at seaports, and the transportation
takes nearly all of this sum. There
is no profit for the owner of the planta-
ton. Indeed, I saw many plantations
overgrown with weeds. The natives
cannot get money to buy the neces-
saries of life. Major General Henry
is issuing rations and is doing every
thing in his power to alleviate the dis
tress.
1T is difficult, however to reach the
interior. The supplies are sent to mill
tary posts and distributed as we'll as
possible STILL Major General Henry
cannot go on in this way. His money,
derived from customs, will give out
