Transvaal Vigorously Denounced
by the Berlin Press.

Berlin, Oct. 26.-At a meeting Of
1000 members Of the Pan-German and
Anti-Semite league, at Hamburg yes
terday. called to protest against the
Transvaal war, a dispatch was sem to
Emperor William full of solemn patri-
etic illusions and urging his to inter-
sede in behalf of the Beers and post
pone his journey to England.
The Vossische Zeitung, commenting
sn this, says:
Vigorous protests should be made
against passionate and malevolent
treatment of the war, which gives col
.. to the idea that the Germans can
rot do enough to show their enmity
for Great Britain. The majority in this
sountry have nothing in common with
the Anglophobia in which the Ham,
burg meeting waded."

DEPARTMENT OF PORTO RICO.
Report of Brighten. George w. Dav.
IL, Commander of the De-
p~artnaeut.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The report OF
Brighten. George W. Davis, command
ing the department of Porto Rico, was
made public yesterday by the war de-
partment. 1t contains a large amount
of interesting material on the social,
commercial and political conditions in
the island. Gen. Davis calls attention
to the fact that he has refrained from
making anything that might be con
strued as a promise of what ultimate
action would be taken by congress fol
the government of the island, and says
that his aim has been to promote the
welI-being of the people under exist
ing conditions. A general spirit o.
ccntentment, he says, reigns through.
out the department.
The Great Hurricane of 1899.
Gen. Davis closes his report, which
is dated August Is, with a brief state
ment as to the great hurricane Of
1892. and extends his thanks to the wal
department for the prompt aid rem
dered him in caring for the destitute.
Suggestions On reform.
Accompanying the report is an IT,
teresting discussion upon the govern
ment of Porto Rico, by Maj. W. =.
Glassford. Among the suggestions fO'
reform offered by Maj. Glassford is one
that a market for sugar, coffee and to-
bacco is indispensable to the well-be-
ing of the island.
Reduction of Duties Desired.
He says that a reduction of duties On
Porto Rican products on entering the
United States and also upon some
American products entering Porto
Rice would facilitate the development
of trade relations between the two
countries. \ removal of the duty OIL
Porto Rican sugar, he says, would
double the output, and the same in
crease, doubtless, would take place in
coffee and tobacco. He says it would
also be advantageous to remove the en-
listing duty on such machinery and its
repair parts as are used in the produc-
ton of these crops. Lumber and
building materials are also articles of
prime necessity.
Financial Conditions.
Regarding the financial conditions
he SAYS that about one-half of the
$4,000 pesos in circulation is at pres
en- in the hands of individuals and
the other half in the banks. He recom
mends the Withdrawal of this currency
and the substitution for ii of United
States money.
