A REMARKABLE ARMY ORDER
PORTO RICANs NOT PERMITTED TO
EXPRESS DETERIORATION.
General Davis Threntens Them with
Punishment If They "Denth to-
or "Down With" Anybody.

San Antonio. Texas, December 25.-!
remarkable army order just issued BY
General Davis, governor general of Port
Rico, and which has not yet been givel
publicity, was received at headquarter
Of the department of Texas in this cit,
today. The order has reference to tn,
existing nature of popular demonstration
common to the Latin people. 1t read
in part, as follows:
Shouts or cries of death to -"
or down with --' are strictly
forbidden. and any alcalde town
councilman or municipal policeman
who, hearing such a cry or having
knowledge of utterance of such cries
and who does not exert his utmost eff
fort % summarily arrest the perpe-
traitors of the disturbance, will be
not only summarily dismissed but
Will be arraigned before the courts
for further punishment as the law
requires. II is not intended to pro-
hibit "brayos," "vivas' or 'hurrahs"
or other good natured exhibitions of
appreciation or pleasure in favor of
individuals, clubs, societies or par
ties, but 1t is proposed to put an
end to these other grave disorders.
AT any public meeting where this is
violated and the prohibited cries are
heard. the alcalde will Immediately
dissolve the meeting and dispense the
crowd. When political club or party
is holding meeting it is the duty
of the alcalde to see to it that in-
terruptions of the opposite party or
any disorderly element Is not per-
mitted. Street demonstrations, pa
rades and professions will not be per-
mitted after dark and parades or
professions of two political parties
on the same day will also not be per-
mitted. There is, in many m Is, a
desire to see this island at once en-
dowed with civil self-government, but
such men can not expect to see this
privilege accorded while in many
towns the streets are made hideous
by the parades or assemblages of
bowling mobs crying death to
-" or down with ." The
people OF the United States are not
only not accustomed to such cries but
they have never heard them or
heard of them save as characterizng
the lawless in other lands. Can the
people of Porto Rico expect the
congress of the United States to
invest them with government
while the streets of Porto Rican
towns are resounding with such cries
and epthets? If the civil authorities
fail to put stop to these Disgrace
full scenes, then the military power
must be invoked. Can it be possible
that Porto Rico has not had enough
OF harsh, arbitrary rule and does
it wish 1t to continue indefinitely I'M
der absolute government? The course
events seem to be taking in some
places point to anarchy and chaos and
all through the inability CT neglect
OF the people to maintain orderly
government.
He most earnestly hopes it will not b.
necessary to supplant or replace the
civil by the military rule in any towr
or village.

KEEP COOL FROrI PROPER HOT

PEOPLE can live in a temperature which
feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler
than their neighbors enjoy. by regulat-
ing the breakfast. This Is a proceeding
10 which people who care for physical
comfort in hot weather, are giving care
full attention.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance Of
trult' either cooked or raw. Then follow
win a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Crane Nuts
treated with little rich cream. Add To
this about two slices of entire ybeat

served. while the hot carbonaceous foods
have been left out. The result is a very
marked difference in the temperature of

Mr.. HOWARD'S PLAN
Wants the County Co Take Care OF Its
Own Patients.

Wants the County Co Take Care OF Hts
Own Patients.
Commissioner Howard, who was detail
ed to examine intos the condition Of the,
private insane asylum operated by Mr..
Tiel. made his report to. the board of
cemmissioners Yesterday. The report
treated mostly With an alleged Ill treat
ment of a patient named Loudon who
died a few days ago at Mrs. Dudley's
private hospital on North Market street.
Mr.. Howard did not find enough evidence
on which to file any serious complaint
against Mr.. Tiel, either with regard to
the care of the asylum. The stories
about Loudon gathered from Mr.. Tiel
and the different hospitals where the pa,
tient had been taken all contradicted
each other and were very unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Howard is evidently disgusted with
the idea of sending county patients to
any of the hospitals or asylums where
the county has to pay by the day or
week for their maintenance. In his rec
concentrations he urges upon the board
that as soon as possible some arrange
ments should be made by which the
county can attend to its own patients by
having a place of its own to take them
to, and have a man employed by the
year to take proper care of them. Such
an arrangement will. doubtless be made
at the poor farm as soon as the funds of
the county will permit of sufficient out
lay for that purpose.
