PORTO RICAN SENTIMENT

San Juan finishing up the report, and
expect to return to the state in a fort
night. Mr.. Ruebens speaking of the
work Of the commission says:
I'VE found the general sentiment of
the natives of Porto Rico was one of
extreme satisfaction because the island
had been annexed to the United States.
We were enthusiastically received and
took a deal of testimony concerning the
subjects we were sent there to inquire
about.
These were the workings of the civil
government, such as the public schools
of the island. the present systems
of taxation, local laws, courts, roads
and highways. What changes the COM
mission thinks needed will be embodied
in a. report to be sent to the secretary
of war
ION our way home the transport
stopped at Santiago and there the COM
Inissioners visited General Wood The
city is in excellent shape and the peo-
PIE that I spoke to all seemed to be
satisfied with things as they are at
present and sure that matters so far
as Cuban independence is concerned
would right themselves in a short time.
There is some little lawlessnesS in San
tiago province but the law abiding peo-
pie have joined with the United States
military forces for its suppression and
the little gangs of bandits will soon be
put down.

NEW ALTON ENGINES.
Officials Order Eight-Wheel MoguIs
Rather Than the Ten Wheel Type.

Bloomington, ILL.,, April 6.-The Chi
cago & Alton officials have surprised
their engineers by ordering eight-wheel
moguls instead of the ten-wheel type of
locomotive which seems to have the
preference among the railroads of the
country. The contract has been let with
the Baldwin company, of Philadelphia,
for the efght-wheel type, and early de-
livery is promised. The officials have
been conducting a series of tests for
several months and have reached the
conclusion that the eight-wheeIerS will
wheel type. This is the result of careful
investigation of the work of both kinds.
The engines with six drivers and two
truck wheels are believed to be capa-
BILE of pulling more loaded cars than the
ten-wheelers of the same cylinders and
boiler surface. The less weight on the
drivers, they claim, reduces the ad-
heSive force. With the single pair of
truck wheels there is more weight on
the drivers The new engines are to
weigh $50. 900 pounds exclusive of the
tender. They will have 2o-inch cylin-
ders and 30 pounds of steam pressure.
The driving wheels are to be 63 inches
in diameter. The tenders will hold 5000
gallons of water and carry ten tons of
coal.
During the Worlds fair the company
ordered 16 moguls of the ten-wheeI
type, and it has been supposed that the
new order would call for the same type,
only of larger size. The decision of the
management to secure the eight-Wheei-
erS has therefore excited much comment
the majority of whom are inclined to
think that the ten-wheeI type are the
best The new engines are to be 50 feet
in length and it will be necessary to en-
large all the round houses of the COM
pany to admit the entrance of these
monsters

HORDE OF PORTUGUESE
To Be Poured into the Hawaiian Is

Tacoma, Wash, April 6.-Private ad-
vices from Honolulu state a secret
movement is under way in Hawaii to
flood the islands with Portuguese Ia
borers from the Azores islands. There
soon as arrangements can be COM
pleted unless the plan is foreStalled.
They will probably be brought by Ital-
ian ships by way of Cape Horn, but it
is possible that they will come overland
by way of Tacoma, if ships can be
found to carry them
This enterprise is the result of the
approach of the exclusion of japanese
by the United States contract labor
laws. Secrecy has been observed to
prevent opposition on the ground that
it is a scheme to evade contract la Dor
laws. The Portuguese will probably
be imported as free immigrants.
