DYING OF STARVATION
People of Porto Rico in a De.
plorable Condition.
THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE
Insurrection May Result II Measures Of
Relief Arc Long Delayed
Coffee Crop Short.

New York. April 10.-The Herald
says Brigadier-General Stone will 80
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 insur-
rection IL relief 10 not forthcoming.
He has just returned from a journey OF
10 days through the interior of the
island.
The general was attached to the de-
partment 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 party Of capitalists and railroad
men. He was also invited by Major
General Henry to give advice concern
ing the construction of roads through
the islands.
People are dying Of starvation all
through the interior" said General
Stone. "In the district Of Aguas
Banas there were many deaths. The
Judge in the district Of Comerio showed
me book in which he had recorded
the names OF many who died for lack
OF food. General Grant reported 80
deaths from starvation in one district.
saw hundreds OF natives emaciated
and weak. When | left Porto Rico
there were 100. 600 persons there who
had had neither bread nor meat for
two weeks.
"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 2 to s cents at
seaports, and the transportation takes
nearly all OF this sum. Major General
Henry is issuing rations and is doing
everything in his power to alleviate
the distress.
at is difficult, however, to reach
the interior. The supplies are sent to
military posts and distributed as we'll
as possible. Still Major-G General Henry
cannot 60 on in this way. His money.

means OF getting out OF the interior
with fruits and vegetables, something
can be done to deselop-the island.
Another element contributing ia
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, which is now
cut of. Yet with all their sufferings
the Porto Ricans speak with pride al

do not expect Porto Rico to become q

CROSSED THE LAKE

Another Direction.
WILL CUT LUzoN IN TWO
OF Fifteen Hundred Picked Men
to Take Santa Cruz.

Manila, April i1.-At nighfall last
night. Generals Lawton and King
launched an expedition OF three gum
boats, with J., 500 picked men in canoes
in tow of the gunboats. The object Of
the expedition is to cross the lake, cap
ture Santa Cruz and sweep the country
to the south.
The expedition. which embarked
at San Pedro Macati, consists Of eight
com panies Of the Fourteenth infantry,
three companies of the Fourth cavalry,
four companies Of the North Dakota
volunteers, four companies OF the Idaho
volunteers. two mountain guns and 200
sharpshOoters of the Fourteenth in
fantry.
At the mouth Of the Pasig river the
men will be transferred from the
canoes to the three gunboats, Laguna
de Bay, Cesto and Napinda. Santa
Cruz, the objective point of the expe-
dition, is at the extreme end OF the
lake.
The withdrawal of the rs companies
constituting the expeditionary force
made gap in the line from the beach
to Culiculi. just southwest Of San
Pedro Macati. which was subsequently,
filed by the Fourth regular infantry.
The rebels on the extreme right had
evidently been informed Of the with
drawal of the troops, and they attempt
ed to sneak through after nightfall, but
were met with warm reception, and
fell back in disorder on discovering
that the line was still intact.

Hollister ID. MEG uIre aud Senator Reed
Drowned.


Roseburg, Or, April Hollister
d. Mcclure, fish commissioner of Ore
gon. and A. w. Reed, state senator
from Douglas county, were drowned in
the North Umpqua river, opposite
Riverdale farm, six miles below Rose
burg, this morning. Messrs. Reed
and Mcjuire, accompanied by w. Il.
Hubbard, who has charge of the Clack-
amas hatchery, went down the North
Ump1ua to locate site for hatchery,
intending to return this evening.
Mcclure, Reed and Hubbard went by
freight train to Winchester, where
they boarded a small boat for the juno
tion of the rivers, six miles below
RosebuIg.
They were warned by people living
in tie vicinity, who were acquainted
with the river. that it was very dan
gerous, especially to those not ac-
quainted with its rapids and whirl
pools. but they were old boatmen, and
expressed no doubt of their ability to
take care of themselves. The river for
bnI &C VI tOut hiOo obOfO i5 JuhNttoth
with the South Umpqua is succession
of rapids and whirlpools, and at places,
especially at this time of year, is both
Ieep and dangerous. After the party
had gone considerable distance down
the river, having safely psased through
two or three of the rapids. rowiock
was broken. thus rendering the boat
practically unmanageable. They at
tempted to work their way to shore
with one oar, and approached so near
that Senate. Reed grasped the branch
OF an overhanging tree, but the current
was SO swift that the boat was being
drawn under water, and he released his
hold. The current then shot the boat
rapidly out into the stream, where it
was swamped and upset. Mcclure
and Hubbard struck out for shore.
Hubbard reports that Mcclure was
swimming ahead Of him and appeared
to be swimming easily. When Hub
bard reached the shore, and turned to
look for his companions, Mcclure had
disappeared, and Reed had climbed
onto the boat, which was rapidly drift
ing down stream, and he saw him no
more. AS Senator Reed could not
swim, he was probably washed from
his insecure position and sank to rise

Navy Department VIII Place Them at
Strategic Points.
New York, April 10.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: At
the suggestion of Rear-Admiral Brad
ford. chief Of the bureau of equipment,
a comprehensive scheme has been
adopted by the navy department un.
der which coaling stations will be
placed at strategic points in the West
Indies, so as to give the United States
control OF the Virgin, Mona and Wind
ward passages and the appT caches to
the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is proposed to establish coalina
stations at Culebra island, lying be-
tween Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands; at Mayaguez, which lies on
the western shore OF Porto Rico and
controls the Mona passage, and at
Guantanamo on the southern side Oi
Cuba, OF at Nipe bay on the northern
coast, either of which controls the
windward passage. Coal sheds and
piers are already in the course of con-
struction at Dry Tortugas, which will
enable feet operating from that point
to prevent an enemy from entering
either through the Yucatan or Bahama
channel.

Havana, April s.-The Cuban mill
tary assembly being dead, General
Gomez will take up his programme Of
solidifying the Cuban people into a
party that shall without ceasing, urge
the United States to withdraw from
the island. His purpose is to make
the people seem to have but one emo
tion, one desire-the thought Of inde-
pendence and absolute separation from
the United States.
General Gomez considers the disso-
luton Of the assembly as his personal
achievement, aided by the military ad-
ministration here and countenanced at
Washington. He believes that he
emerged from the controversy with the
assembly stronger than ever with the
better classes. His theory is that the
Cubans, who before thought him mere
ly an adroit guerrilla chief, are now
prepared to regard him as political
leader. and that q few days more prob
ably will see him in name general-in-
chief Of the army.

urday morning and death came pain-
lessly. Ever since Justice Fields re-
tirement from the supreme bench in
December, 1897, he had enjoyed COM
paIatively good health, and being re-
lieved from the responsibilities which
he had borne for so many years, he be-
came more cheerful than formerly, and
seemed to enjoy the society OF his
friends and acquaintances more than
ever before. About two weeks ago he
took longer ride than usual in an
open carriage and contracted severe
cold, which rapidly developed the
kidney trouble from which he had
suffered. though but slightly, for some
time. The disease readily yielded to
treatment. and on Thursday last he sat
mp for time and seemed quite himself
again, but on Saturday morning q
change for the worse took place, and
about noon he lost consciousness.
From that time he sank rapidly, and
expired at $3.50 o'clock.
