"YELLOW" JOURNALISM
Responsible for False Reports of Con-
tcmplatcd Insurrcction in Porto

Responsible for False Reports of Con-
templntcd Insurrcction in Porto
Rico.
Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. March ia
great deal OF Indignation has been felt
by both Americans and Porto Ricans
here since the publication OF reports
that the people Of this island were ripe
for insurrectlon and rebellion. 1t is
very hard to understand how such
alarming rumors originated. There
never has been any organized effort nor
any attempt at organization TO insur-
rection in this island since the occupa-
tion by the American forces. The ma
t!ves have no arms and they have no or
ganization and what is more to the
point. they have not the disposition to
rebel. ~
The officials who constitute the mill
tarv and the local government are very
much annoyed ovec the reports which
seem to have been inspired by those
who have not the interests of the Is
lands at heart. II Is true that General
Henry receives many anonymous let
tiers and many trlfinc ones advising
him OF rumored uprislngs, but these let
ters have been pouring In upon him
from the very first and he has learned
to attach no Importance TO them.
The people Of Porto Rico are Impress
ionable and oftentlmes the writer's of
these letters imagine that there will be
trouble. but these warnings have 50 or
ten turned to nothing that they now
appear ridiculous and are looked upon
with amusement rather than with
fear. ~
A number Of reforms are being made
In the administration OF Justice, Includ-
ing the abolition Of secret trials. The
marriage laws have been modified so
that authority is given to ministers OF
al! faiths to perform marriages. and the
fees have been abolished where the
ceremony Is before civil magistrate.
General Henry has Issued general
order, providing for the distribution OF
rations among the people OF Porto Rico.
It has come TO the knowledge OF the de-
partment commander than In some dis
trlcts on the island many people are
suffering and some have died for want
OF food caused by poor crops, resulting
from lack Of rain or other unavoidable
conditions 3-

SPANIARDS LEAVE CUBA

Deposition II Crime.

On Account ofthc LawIessness of the
irresponsible Cubuns : Gomcz's
Deposition II Crime.
HAVANA. March 31.--The steamer
Montzerratte sailed this morning for
Spain, having on board $50 Spanish
passengers. formerly residents OF Cuba
and mostly small merchants. This ex-
odus is noticeable because OF the num-
bers. dA.as,-,,-
There have onlv been at least three
authentic murders OF Spaniards in the
country, and, in some cases, men OF
property have been killed. II It Is
known who the murderers are, the fact
has not developed, though ther. are men
in Havana who say there Is evidence
pointing 10 Cuban soldiers being the
guilty parties. and tina: since General
Gomez was deposed from the post Of
commandments OF the Cuban forces
the Cubans have not had n head to rig
idly enforce discipline and punish crime,
In the past General Gomez punished
murderers of this kind with death, but
since his removal the Cubans have been
taking advantage OF the lack OF disci-
pline to retaliate upon their war enemy
who arc still in the island.
The efforts of Generals DiaZ and No
dars to run down the Guanajay bandits
have apparently been fruitless as no
traces of them are said TO have been
found In the PROVINCES OF Pinar del
Rio and Havana and the controversy
resulting between the two generals re-
garding the existence Of the band has
now reached the phase Of letters in the
Havana newspapers. Nevertheless,
there are occasional! further reports of
deprcdat!ons and 1t Is now declared the
scare was started by tobacco growers
OF the district With the object OF fright
ening small growers and forcing them
to sell thel- crops cheap.
