MUCH WORK
IS NEEDED
To Bring Porto Rico Into a
Civilized State,
EDUCATION OF THE NATIVES
Must Be the First Thing Attempted--
Religious Question Must
Settle Itself.
EDUCATION OF THE NATIVES

Washington, Jan. eff Porto Rico
becomes a credit to the United States"
said Captain Augustus Gardiner, of the
in an interesting report to AS
sistant Secretary Of War Meiklejohn upon
educational and other affairs of Porto
Rico, land not a continual thorn in her
side, it is as certain as the rising of the
sun that the work of reconstruction must
be done by men of disinterested motives
In considering, a y Capt. Gardiner, he
various elements which go to make up
the social system of Porto Rico, the most
worthy of a detailed examination is the
method of education. 1t is in this branch
that the fruits which it is hoped may be
gathered in the future must all ripen.
What ]Durports to be a ensus of the
island is taken every 10 years. But the
only one ever published, apparently, was
tha of 1887. In this the population was
given at S06, 7OS, of which 111,3SO, or 16 per
cent. could neither read or write. A COM
parison of these figures with those of a
s~o-called rectification of the census of
1888 reveals a gross blunder somewhere
as according to the returns for that year,
/ 23S, 2O4, or over twice as many people as
four years later, could neither read or
write.
For the city of Ponce there is an eX-
cellent census for the year 1887, well
compiled and to all appearances accu-
rate. According to hat the city juris-
diction covers a population of $4,000. The
percentage who could read and write was
30 37-1O0. In the larger townships there
is one school to about every 1000 inhabl-
tants. But education is laid on a great
real thinner in many parts of the island
large country districts being without
schools entirely, Notwithstanding a com
pulsory school attendance law. The diff
Guilty arises from a scarcity of competen'
and reliable teachers.
In the nature of things, for the pres
ent, but little progress can be made by
American teachers sent to the island
Their sphere of usefulness will not in
clude Porto Rico until such time as {
knowledge of the English language has
begun to permeate all classes.
With regard to the religious question
Capt. Gardiner says that it does no
appear that the inhabitants Of the islanC
have ever taken their religion with any
degree of seriousness, probably owing tt
the fact tha the church is regarded a
one of the means by which Spain under
took to maintain her sovereignty on tn
island ard to provide for the maintenanc
of such of her clergy as could not be sup
ported at home. Roman Catholicism ha
2 better chance in the island in view o
the condition of the native mind than an.
other form of religion.

VIII Case Settled

saltwater, Mimi, Jar. 23.-The jury in
the STAPLES viii contest has returned a
verdict for the Contestee, f. S. Bronson,
and the will was set aside on the grounds
that Isaac Staples was of unsound mind

1896. The case has been one of the hard
est fought legal battles in the history OF
the state and the trial just concluded has
taken 80 days. The estate. valued at
81 300, coo, will now be divided according
to law, unless the verdict is set aside by
the supreme court. An appeal is con-
templated by proponents.

END IS IN SIGHT
Volunteer Regiments Are Be-
ing Rapidly Filled.
THIRTY-FOURTH IS FULL
Montana Recruits Will Be Sent to
Texas and Assigned to the
Veteran Volunteers.

Lieutenant John v. Green, who has
charge of the local recruiting office dur
ing the absence of Captain Detchmendy,
received a Geographic order from the ad-
jutant generals office at Washington
his afternoon to the effect that the
T%hirty-fifth regiment of provisional VOL
unteers was full, and that no more en-
listments for this regiment should be
made. The Thirty-fourth, the regiment
raised in the western states, was filled
several days ago, and since that time all
recruits enlisted have been assigned to
the Thirty-fifth. All recruits enlisted
after, n including today, will be as
signed to the Thirty-third regiment, the
assembling post for which is Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. In accordance with
these instructions five men, who passed
the final physical examination, will be
sent to Texas tomorrow. This regiment
Is very nearly full.
Many OF the Montana recruits who are
enlisted in the future, in fact all that are
enlisted after the Thirty-third is filled,
will be assigned to the Thirty-sixth and
Thirty-seventh, the two veteran volun-
teer regiments which are being raised
by General Otis in the Philippines, and
sAS AhSA "AO Il ~ dSSlSIcu Will ne sent
to the Preside, San Francisco, where
they will go through the settingup pro-
cess, prior to being sent across the water.
The local office has had many tenders
or men who desire to enlist in branches
of the service other than those for which
Captain Detchmendy has authority to en-
list, which is limited to infantry, regular
and provisional volunteers. There awe
been many inquiries in regard to the cav
airy from men who nave ridden the COW
ranges of Montana and who prefer to
fight in the saddle. a branch Of the SER
vice for which their vocation equips them
admirably. There have also been several
applicants who desire to enlist in the sig
nal corps. All these the officers have
been compelled to refer to other Depart
ments.
No advice has been received by the Of
ficers as regards enlistment for the 10 adj
ditional regiments which Secretary Root
has decided upon, but it is probable that
these regiments will be allotted to eastern
states, where men are more numerous.
