en ell Hotel Plaza algunos dfas, antei
de ir & Washington para pedir al Pre-
sidente Mac K,nley una reduction de Ia
tarifa arancelaria sobre los productos

tie que el senior Mu1oz Rivera saliese
lie aquella isla, los agricultores de di.
yersos pueblos le aatorizaron proceder
como representante suyo, presentar

tarifs mas baja.
Despues de su legada 3 esta ciudad

Hablando aver con nn reporter de es
te peri6dico, aeerca de los efectos que
produce ell actual arancel EN- ell comercio
de Puerto Rico, dijo ell seflor Munoz
Rivera.
Gel arancel VICENTE es tan alto, que
los cultivadores de azucar tabaco no
pueden vender sus cosechas, sin perdi-
da. Estos son los principales produc
tos dc la isla, negar facilidades para
su exportaci6n causarfa la ruina de los
que Sc dedican gu cultivo. Las cose
chas de azucar y tabaco de los tiltimo,
afios estan estivalas en- los almacenes
de mi pats, perdiendose secandose
I4o que los plantslores pretenden 10
que 20 estoy autorizado pedir, es una
rebaja de 25 p.S en- los derechos sobre
ell tabaeo ell azucar. Esto Sc neoesita
como un Immediate auxilio para la agri-
cultura. Cuando ell Congreso Sc reuna
EN- ei proximo invierno, peiiremos que
todos los productos de Puerto Rico sean
admitidos libres de derechos Ell los Es-
tados Unidos. Yo creo que consegui-
remos 10 que interesamos, porque es
evidente que la tarifa actual causa gra-
yes perjuicios a los puertorriquenos, y
tambien sabemos todos que ell gobierno
de la Union esta ansioso de hacer por
nosOtros cuanto redunde en- nuestro bic
nestar.,
Rsspondiendo una preguuta sobrs
la forna de gobIerno que los hijos de
Puerto Rico desean, sc exprss5 asf el
sefior Mufioz Rivera
<Mis compatrotas quieren que la isla
forme parte de los Estados Unidos. In
dudablemente, ellos saben que llegar en-
ell momento q la condicion de Estado es
impossible. Pero anhelan una fOrma
territorial de gobierno bajo la sobersnfa
de los Estados Unidos, hasts que esten
preparados de manera adecuada, y Sc
les considere acreedores a merecer la
integridad de la ciadadanfa americana.
Su esperanza consiste EN- que la isla,
como resuttado final, sc convierta en- un
Estado.,

i. Incomes Rather Defiant

washington, Jan. 24.-The Filipno
junta IN Washington now numbers five
members The three who left Manila
several weeks ago have arrived and
'akeh up their headquarters with Aron-
CLIO ana Lopez. They are Jose Lozado.
Juan Luna and Captain Marti Rurros
senior Luna is confined to bed by a
severe cold and exhaustion after his
trip across the continent, but the others
say they represent the Philippine gov
eminent, with sealed orders from Presi-
dent Aguinaldo to Senior Agoncillo. the
Phllippine ambassador and plenipoten-
tlary to the United States.
Agoncillo thus re-enforced has grown
rainier defiant and has demanded of
secretary Hay that he appoint a time
Tor him to see the president so as he
may present his credentials as embassa-
dor. 1t is said that their next move will
be to ask the United States to evacuate
and let AGunaldo's government take
it's place
The state department, of course, has
paid no attention to these communities
tons, nor will it, and certainly the sec
rotary of state Will make no appoint
ment with the president to receive
Agoncillo In any official capacity.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.



Washington, Jan. 24.-Inquiries made
by the state department show that nc
further advices can be expected from
Apia before the latter part Of next
week. This Is based on the presuInp-
ton that the reports will come on the
regular line of vessels that travel be-
tween Auckland and Apia, but of course
there is possibility of some private
sailing craft making the trip If events
or sufficient Importance to demand an
immediate report have occurred there
since the last steamer sailed.
BY Friday or Saturday of this week
the British warship which recently left
wellington should arrive at Apia and
thus make it possible for one of the
TWO British vessels which then will be
IN port to be used for the conveyance OF
mail advices to Auckland.
Such exchanges as have taken place
up to this point between the three gov
ernments, parties to the treaty Of Ber-
lin in relation to the uprising in Apia
nave been rather unofficial in character
and have been confined pretty closely
to expressions of a willingness to deal
with the matter soberly and stand by
the terms of the treaty in its adjust
ment.
With this disposition exhibited there
is, as already stated, every reason ia
believe that this Samoan affair will
yield to ordinary methods of diplomacy
unless something has happened in the
meantime at Apia to aggravate the sit
uatjon.

Death of n Centenarian.

Binghamton, N. Y, Jan. 24.-Mrs. Ma
ry Driscoll, the oldest resident of
Broome county, is dead at the county
farm at the age of 1903 years. She was
sent to the farm from the town of YES
tai and was one of a family of centena-
rians living in that place. She had one
brother, Michael Murphy of Vestal, who
is 30 years old and is looked upon as
the baby of the family. Mrs. Driscoll
was unusually sprightly and up to the
time of her death caused the authorities
considerable trouble by running away
from the institution
