TROUBLE IN
PORTO RICO,

Advices from Porto Rico show that |
that island is not as peaceably inclined |
as has been supposed in the United
States. The following dispatches iDdi-
cate that our Government may have to
take hold with strong hand, there, to
teach our new friends that they must
learn the difference between liberty and
license to do as they please.
Chicago, March 1O-(By Associated
Press THE Tribune tomorrow will
print the following special correspon-
dence from Porto Rico from a Tribune
correspondent:
San Juan de Porto, March 1.-The
real situation in Porto Rico is not un-
derstood. People in the States generally
regard Porto Rico as sort of haven of
peace. The war. department has just
requested of General Henry that he
report how many regular troops he
could spare from the island. The one
hundred and forty seventh New York
started for home last Sunday. The
regular regiments that remain are 30
scattered that in many places where
there is necessity for a strong force only
a corporal's guard can be mustered,
and territories where there are contin-
ual meetings and the greatest evidence
of discomfort at American rule are un-
garded.
General Henry is in a Dilemma.
He has only three regiments of troops
the Eleventh infantry, the Nineteenth
infantry and the Fifth cavalry, and two
batteries of the Fifth Heavy artillery.
II need twice the troops have" said
the general at his residence in San Juan
Because of the easy victory of our
troops here in the war and the apparant
friendliness of the natives. to the
American soldiers when they invaded
the island, a notion prevails in the
States that there is little necessity for 6
strong force to MAINTAIN order in the
island. The idea is erroneous.
"The conditions here are alarming
These people have been given every
opportunity, but they have thrown
them aside. They are clamoring nov
for local self-government. They are nj
more fit for local self government than
am to run a locomotive. More troop
are needed in the island. The seeds o
discomfort planted by professional
agitators are rapidly growing, and cal
be kept down only by q strong militar.
! force. Fr
The lIl-Feeling Between the Native
and the American Troops
, seems torgrow stronger every day. Th
, American officers have to maintain tn
greatest vigilance to prevent their me-
, from wresking vengence on the natives
and especially on the netive police, fc
acts of violence that are continual
committed against the troops"

Obituary..

Died, at Barclay, Usage county, Kans.,
Feb. "a. 1899, MarcusH. Brown. Hewss
born near Zsnesield, Logan county,
Ohio, April 80. 1889, which was his home
until 1866. when he started westward.
He was a nephew of the late DR.. B. S
Brown, of B sllefontaine, and once had
large circle of relatives in the county,
but many of them have passed into the
unseen and eternal. Others have moved
away, until but few are left.
He was engaged in teaching school
much of the time for several years, first
in Logan county, then in Indiana, Illi-
nois and Iowa.
In the Spring of 1871. he went to
Nebraska, took homestead and settled
on the vast prairie with but few, If any
neighbors in sight. but ere long a rail-
road was built through the State, which
passed near his home; soon a town
sprang into existence close by, and the
vastness and loneliness were changed.
On Jan. 20, 1874, he was married to
Rachel A. Mills, of Howard county, Md
who had gone west with married sister.
Tney moved to Barclay, Kan, in June,
1881, which was his home until he was
called to his heavenly home.
In his early manhood he was a moral
ist, but about twenty-five years ago he
decided that while morality was all right
as far as it went, it was not all that be
needed to complete his manhood. he
then accepted Jesus as his Savior and by
this salvation he was able to live an up.
right christian life, to teach his children
in the way that leads onward and up.
ward and to be a worker in the church
When disease was fast destroying hi
earthly tabernacle and material thing
were passing away from his vision, tn,
power of religion "to make dying bee
soft as downy pillows are" was very
manifest.
He wanted all his friends to know tha
call was well'' with him. A few hour
before his release, when it seemed th'
end was near, he said, IF this is death
it is glorious to die" As he bade eecl
of his loved ones, present, adieu, with
message for each, he rejoiced that b.
had such loving Savior to be with hin
in that trying hour, and to whom b
could commit and commend them.
The bereaved wife and four childrel
realize the loss of a kir d and loving hus
band and father, yet r. oice in the belle
that he is alive forevermore.
