Childish Porto Rico Officials Tender
Their designations,
San Juan de Porto Rico, Feb. 20.-The
mayor and Il majority of the municipal
council of San Juan have rendered
their designations. A few days ago the
question Of killing cattle for municipal
consumption was referred to General
Guy V. Henry, governor general of
Porto Rico, by consent of all the par.
ties interested. After an Investigation
General Henry issued an order regard
ing the matter and the mayor and
members Of the council declared that
they would resign before complying
with the governors decree.
General Henry, annoyed by their
quarrelinE and childish actions, told
them that If they did not stop tring
and obey orders he would have them
imprisoned.
x meeting of the council was held
yesterday, which resulted in the ter
dering Of the designations OF the mayor
and council on account of the alleged
insult by the governor general and his
partisan friends. The deposedl liberals
are said to be back of the trouble.
General Henry says he can govern
the city better with new councilmen,
who will not oppose American meth
DDS.
Considerable feeling has been ex-
cited by the incident.
