PORTO RICO IS DISCUSSED
CABINET CONSIDERS THE NEEDS
OF THE ISLAND.
Probability That the President VIII
Send In . Message Recommend
ing such Government A. Was
Given to Louisiana Mt First.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost wholly
to a discussion Of the political and imam
cial conditions in Porto Rico. The matter
was brought up by Secretary Root who
stated that a communication had been re-
ceived from the governor general of the
island inclosing petitions describing the sit
uation and asking for action by congress
which would determine their political stat
us and relation to the United States
While the island itself had no public
debt, yet the planters as rule. 1t Is said,
are heavily involved.
No money Is coming into the country for
investment, and altogether the situation
is not calculated to foster trade or COM
merce. The secretary OF war shares the
views OF the governor general and people
and Is extremely DESTROYS that congress
shall take early action to secure the island
crs a stable form OF government.
1t Is understood the secretary of war
and the president and all members OF the
cabinet are in favor of giving to the Porto
R.cans a form OF government similar to
that given to Louisiana In 1903. 1t author
ICED the president Of the United States to
appoint governor for the territory and at
the same time authorized him to appoint
a number of prominent citizens of the coun-
try. who were empowered to legislate for
the territory. The governor had the veto
power and his acts in turn were subject to
review by the people of the United States.
1t is not altogether improbable that the
president, within the next few weeks at
the latest, will send a message to congress
reviewing the situation in Porto Rico and
asking that measures may be taken to
bring about more satisfactory state of
affairs In the island.

Following this objection Pettigrew and
Chandler had a sharp tilt over the reso-

demanding from the secretary OF war
an explanation OF certain charges against
Gen Merriam in his conduct OF the Occur

into the controversy and the personal
references made by each senator against
the other lent some livelness to an other
wise quiet session.
On the opening of today's session OF the
senate resolutions were reported favor

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. ls.-The Bulletin
says: The disaster that overlook the island
Of Ceram, on the second Of last month cost
the people Of that district immense loss in
lives and property. Tho steamship Ameri-
ca Maru, which arrived yesterday, brought
advices from Ceram and reports that 5000
people were destroyed on that island at
one time when tho dreadful earthquakes OF
November shocked the Japan coast and
agitated the lands adjacent to the empire.
On the night of the second the people
Of Ceram were awakened by terrific
shock Of earthquake that seemed to work
from north to south. Every one fed from
their houses and took up places In the
public square. A few hours later II was re-
ported tho water was rising in the bay Of
Ambonia. TIE sea came forward in the
shape Of a huge tidal wave and forced the
water Into the bay entrance. II came up

swept over the tops of trees thirty feet
high Out of nearly 1900 inhabitants only
forty escaped.

Tho exact number of killed along

Mr.. Roberts saw Mr.. Taylor as soon as the
committee adjourned and submitted his
brief
Mr.. Roberts brief is lengthy legal
argument against the rights Of the COM
mittee He urges that the constitution
gives protection against trial without he
process OF law; also against taking prop
erty. such as the salary Of ONCE, without
due process of law.
Mr. Roberts summary Is as follows:
From the foregoing established doc
trines and rights of members of congress,
1t follows that the proposed proceedings of
this committee would be subversive of the
rights of the member from Utah
Il. In that he Is to be adjudged guilty
of crime without due process of law.

a member of congress unless the house and
its committee are prepared to assert their
power and right to add to the qualifications
prescribed by the constitution of the
United States.

right to a trial by a court of competent
jurisdiction and by a jury of his peers with

Is alleged to have been committed, and

the committee to stop its present proceed
ings and consider the prima facie right of
the representative from Utah to be sworn
in as a member of the house of represent
tatives of the Fifty-sixth congress-
ministers from Utah. Roberts holds that
the committee ought not TO consider them,
for the reason that the afiidavits presented
by them bear dates as follows;
Ray T. Bandon. February IL, 1899; Lueila
