PEOPLE OF PORTO RICO.
Interesting Discourse ON Their Distin-
gushing Characteristics.


gushing Characteristics.
The Anthropological Society of Wash
incton met last night in the assembly
hall Of the Cosmos Club, and addresses
were delivered by Prof. Robert I. Hii',
the eminent scientist, who has spent Il
number of years IN research III the Wesf
Indies, and II. NJ. wilson. of the United
States Geological Survey.
Mr.. Hill presented IN interesting Is
course on the people of Iorto Itico. dis
cusSing them from m Genealogical and
anthropological standpoint. The Porto
Ricans of the upper class are Of pure
Spanish blood. In point Of connections
and responsibility they are fine descend
ants of military men, who, during the
long period when the island was a mere
garrison, formed alliances and settle:i
within il. These people maintain the
pride of their descent. with all the state
illness of grandees. and some Of them are
opulent This class Of people, with
white blood and Spanish feelings, 0pi1-
ions. and prejudices so widely different
from what is to he found in the British
or French islands, although numerically
inferior. forms a distinctive feature OF
lIC DDUuldtIOb. II tOii''ih"''t' - -
mercial, professional, and planter classes.
Beside these there is a peculiar peasant
race. locally known as gibaros. composed
mostly of whites, but also containing
mestizos. colored people and blacks.
Most of these peasants show clearly
their Andalusan origin, but the Indian
type is well preserved iii some of them.
Although incident. they are sagacious,
and sEllful in conversation, fond of eat
ing and drinking, and free in their GUS
toms, manners, and morals, as judged
by our standard. The poorest gives his
hest to the passing stranger. They are
not disposed to continuous labor. nor IS
this necessary in SO prolific Il land They
are very fond Of amusements, especially
gambling.
Physiologically, Mr.. Hill thought the
Porto Ricans, both of the higher and
,lower classes, were inferior to the Gu
bans.
4 AT the conclusion of Mr.. Hills talk
Mr. Wilson showed an interesting series
of lantern views, made by Mr.. Hill and
himself while on the island. illustrating
the scenery, inhabitants. and customs.

Department is now loading at Newport
News 1000 tons of coal to he taken 10
Manila. This coal will go through the
Suez Canal. and thence to Admiral
Dewey's fleet. All the coal used by
the navy in the Philippines and all coal
stored at Honolulu is sent from the At
lantic seaboard, mostly from Newport
News or Baltimore The department
has shipped 10000 tons to Manila since
the war began. The coal sent by
steamers goes through the Suez Canal
and that in sailing vessels around the
Cape of Good Hope. The trip through
the canal takes about fifty days. and the
sailing vessels make it in five months.
The coal for Honolulu is sent by the
way of Cape Horn. Nearly all the
sailing vessels used are American, while
most Of the steamers are British. There
are very few large American steam col

Some suggestion has been mada that
coal might be taken from che Pacific

MARINES 4 CAvITE.
Navy Department to Send One Thous-
and Men There.

Washington. March 15.-It is said to
be the intention Of the Navy Department
to send 1000 marines 10 Cavite 10 take
care of the Nays inter ,sts there. II
is the purpose to send a Colonel iii ccm.
mand of these men. although until the
full regiment is on the scene the marines
will remain under she command of
Major Atway c. Berrynian, the senior
officer of the corps now in the Philip
pines.
This seems to be very large number
of marines to station 1T one navy yard,
hut the explanation is that the Cayitc
station is the largest in the possession
Of the United States, including about
seventy square miles Of land with thir-
teen miles of water front. On the
Government lands are many Sqliatters
and small towns, and large namber
of men will be required to 1 roughly
police this territory.
The work Of repairing the three Span
ish gunboats in Manila bay is reported

under the direction of Constructor Camps
and Assistant Constructor Hobson. The
vessels are said to be in excellent condi-
ton as to machinery. and even before
they went into dry dock to be repaired.

A DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH.
Representatives Of European Powers
Impressed by Our Attitude.

Representatives Of European Powers
Impressed by Our Attitude.
Washington. March Il, Ambassadors
and Ministers in Washington represent
ing European powers having large in
terests in China. have communicated TO
their foreign offices the substance of the
recent answer OF the United States to
Italy. to the effect that this country
would maintain an attitude Of ''disin-
terested neutrality" in reference to the
Italian designs on San Nun bay.
Some of these diplomats have advised
their Governments that they regard the
announcements of the attitude of the
United States as of supreme Importance
in the Chinese situation. The reasons
for this are summed up by prominent
member of the diplomatic corps as fol-
lows
'"rhe answer of the United States 10
Italy is a remarkably brilliant stroke
of diplomacy. The neutral inclination
of the United States would have been
to favor the move of Italy, for the OPP
ening of San Nun bay would give anoth-
or port to the growing American trade
in China But, as this would have eX-
cited the animosity of China, your Gov
crnment decides upon course of 'disin-
terested neutrality This gives no Of
Tense to China, and at the same time
Italy and the world at large take no
tice that the United States will inter-
pose no obstacle in the acquisition Of
San Nun bay or other Chinese ports.
1T is most important to all the pow
ers to know that the United States has
no purpose to interfere in behalf of
China, even to the extent of eXerting
it's moral influence toward continuing
China's integrity. For that reason |
look upon the American answer to Italy
as the most important development in
the Chinese situation that has arisen in
recent days, and | think it will be so
accepted in all the foreign offices.
This diplomat further pointed out
That if Italy secured San Nun bay from
China it would prove a port of inesti-
mable value to American interests in
the Philippines 1t is one of the south
erly ports of China and about the clos
est for the big trade to and from Ma
Mia.

HOW THEY'LL SPEND THE CASH

Santiago de Cuba, March 13.-The
reason why no outbreak occurred after
the recent Suspension Of public work in
this province. over $500 men having been
thrown out of employment, is said to be
that most of the laborers had served
in the ranks of the Cuban insurrection
and are looking forward in the near flu
ture to obtaining their share of the
United States fund of S3,000,000.
So far as this S:,,tvv,000 is concerned
in this province, large part of it will be
invested probably half Of what is re-
ceived The other half will undoubtedly
be squandered. and already merchants
here are laying in supplies of silver spurs,
Mexican saddles and other gewgaws
with which Cuban dandy loves TO he
