THEY Want INDEPENDENCE.
Porto Rcans Said to Be Chatting
Under American Military Rule,
GENERAL HENRY Is ALARMED.

CHICAGO, March 1l.-A special to
the Tribune from New York is as fol-
lows: "The Porto Ricans want indie
pendence," said Colonel William p.
Hubbeli, commander of the One Hun
dred and Forty-seventh regiment, to-
day, upon his return from Porto Rico.
Colonel Hubbell declared his belief
that an instruction of the natives Of
Porto Rico is bound to come sooner or
later. He says every evidence of the
forthcoming uprising was given in
Porto Rico, especially in the latter
part of the stay of the regiment there.
He said: 1.-THE demonstrations made
at our departure convinced us that the
majority of the natives were glad to
get rid of u.s. Our first difficulties on
the island were caused by our suppress
sion of a secret society known as the
Black Hand, 1t was organized on the
same lines with the Ku- Klux in this
country. A plot was formed, of which
we obtained ample proof, to enter our
barracks by stealth and put them, the
entire portion of the regiment which
was at Caguay to the machete. For
tunately, we were placed on our guard
and the conspiracy was frustrated"
The Tribune prints the following
special correspondence from Porto
Rico from Tribune correspondent:
1.-The real situation in Rorto Rico is
not understood. People in the States
generally regard Porto Rico as sort
of haven of peace. The War depart
ment has just requested of General
Henry that he Immediately report how
many regular troops he can spare from
the island. General Henry is in di-
lemma He has only three regiments
of troops-thc Eleventh infantry the
Nineteenth infantry and the Fifth
cavalry-and two batteries of the Fifth
heavy artillery.
81 need twice the troops l have,
said the general. Because of the
easy victory of our troops here in the
war and in the apparent friendliness
of the natives to the American SOL
diers when they invaded the island, a
notion prevails in the states that there
Is llItlG ucceSSlJy 1OI IL SuIOuR IOlCC w
maintain order in the island. The
idea is erroneous.
1.-THE conditions here are alarming.
These people have been given every
opportunity, but they have their own
theme aside. They are clamoring now
for local self-government. They ire
no more fit for local self government
than | am to run locomotive. More
troops are needed in the island. The
seeds of discomfort planted by profess
sional agitators are rapidly growing,
and can be kept down only by strong
military force.
1.-the i'll feeling between the ma
tives and the American troops seems
to grow stronger every day. The
American officers have to maintain
the greatest vigilance to prevent their
men from wreakiugt vengeance 'on the
natives and especially on the native
police for acts of violence that are
continually committed against the
TROOPS"

NEWS BROKEN TO KIPLINGs
Tho Author Informed of the Death of
His Favcrite Daughter, Josephine


New YORK, March 1l,-Unable to
keep Mr.. Kipling in ignorance of his
favorite Josephine's death, the news
was broken to him last night by DR..
Durham. The blow was heavy one,
but the father bore up bravely,
"How long was she ill?" he asked.
He was then told as much as the at
tendants thought wise. Tears stood
in the poets eyes, and he murmured,
half to himself, half aloud: Poor
little Joe." 1t was thus ho always
called the little one.
The doctors believed it was best to
break the news, as the worry and dis
trust he seemed to have in all the re-
plies given to his queries about the
little one would probably have been
more harmful than to let him have
the truth.
