PORTO RlCANS
ARE STARVING

New York, April THE Herald says:
Brig. Gen. Roy Stone will go to Washing
ton tomorrow where he will call the at
tention of the president to the starvation
and distress in Porto Rico. He thinks
that the desperate state Of the people
may lead to insurrection if relief is not
Forthcoming. He has just returned from
a journey Of 10 days through the interior
of the island. The general was attached
to the department of agriculture before
the war and during hostilities he was
in Porto Rico as a member of Gen. Miles
staff. This last trip was made with a
party of capitalists and railroad men.
He was also invited by Maj. Gen. Henry
to give advice concerning the constructors
OF roads through the islands.
people are dying from starvation all
through the INTERIOR said Gen. Stone,
when l saw him last evening in the Albe
marie hotel In the district of Aguas
Bans, there We're many deaths. The
Judge in the district Of Comerio showed
me a book in which he had recorded the
names of many who died for lack of food.
Gen. Grant reported 80 deaths from star
walton in one district. | saw hundreds
of natives emacated and weak. When
left Porto Rico there We're 100000 per
sons there who had had neither bread
nor meat for two weeks. This state Of
affairs is largely due to the short coffee
crop and the rulnous competition OF
Brazil. Porto Rican coffee is selling "a
from to cents at SeaDOrtS and the
transportation takes nearly all of this
sum. Maj. Gen. Henry is issuing rations
and is doing everything in his power to
alleviate the distress. 1t is difficult, how
ever to reach the interior The supplies
are sent to military posts and distributed
as well as possible. Still Ma Gen. Henry
cannot go on in this way. His money,
derived from customs, will give out soon.
He cannot make this people an object Of
charity. He has found Il -y'H fer AZ least

good roads and means of getting out Of
the interior with fruits and vegetables
something can be done to develop the

the distress of the Porto Ricans is the
fact that the United States continues to

Admiral KautZ InSulted
IJE, RESENTED THE ACTION OF TIL +,
GERMAN CONSUL--A BITTER
FEELING.

Apia. Samoa, March "a, 1ia san Fran
cisco, Aprl 1.-THE Associated Press cor
respondent had an interview with Admlf-
al Kautz yesterday. He spoke freely on
the situation and considers he has been
grossly insultcd by the German consul
general issuing his counter proclana-
tion. The admiral takes the stand that
the Berlin treaty which he is Instructed
by his government to uphold does not
make any provision whatever for pro-
ViSiOnal governments His instructions
are to carry out the treaty in accord
ance with the views of the majority of
the consular representatives,
The admiral is very WrOth with the
German consul, and blames him entirely
for the present attitude of the rebels as
the natives were obeyng his command
to retire to their homes when the German
proclamation was issued. At the meet
ing of cOnSulS and naval officers on the
flagship the admiral explained hs POSI-
ton Under the treaty there could be no
provisional government and the agree
ment under which it had been recognized
under peculiar and trying circumstances
for the protection of life and property
was Just as provisional as the govern
ment itself. He had to stand by the su-
preme court and he hoped plan OF ac-
ton would be agreed upon for restoring
peace to the islands without the inter
NtflllDn OF an dllilti lpi &c. J'l liIf14i StiLt
American consuls and the naval officers
agreed with the admiral The German
consul, having accepted provisional gov
ernmcnt, could not reccde from that pO-
sition under any circumstances what
ever until he had instructions from Ber-
lin.
Later on. after the meeting, Rose put
his views in writing to the admiral and
stated the German warships could only
act if German property or life was to be
protected against danger, or in case Of
the supreme court issuing a warrant for
arrest against individuals.
on no other ground could the German
warships interfere in Samoa and accord
ing to instructions under which he acted
there would be no military interference
by Germany. He also protested against
the issue of the proclamation by kautz
pending Instructions from the treaty pow
erS also against the return to Apia Of
deporteG Malietoans which was men
acc to the peace Of Samoa and he remind
ed the admiral that the Fake had made
no promise to help according to the ad-
mirars proclamation. He was afraid the
admiral would do harm by its issue and
that already people We're afraid of the
rebels around Apia
The admiral replied he must be gov
erned in his actions by the conviction of
duty and not by his fears; that in his pro-
clamation he meant exactly what he said
and was not speaking tlippartly and what
he had proclaimed he would do. The fact
that with all his correspondence and
protests to the Admiral the German con-
sui did not consider it necessary to for
ward copy of his counter proclamation
to the admiral has not increased the
good feeling between the admiral and
CONSUL Never before by an official had
the admiral been treated in such uncour-
teous and insulting manner.

United Empire League

Ottawa, Ont, April THE annual
meeting of the United Empire League
was held here last night. Lieut.. Dennis
of Toronto presided. The annual report
advocated the immediate Inauguration OF
the fast Atlantic service and the Pacific
cable, the formation of a naval reserve
and the establishment of naval militia
These subjects We're adopted last year
and they have again been accepted. Sir
Louis Davies, in the absence of the min
ister of militia, dealt with the proposed
establishment of a naval reserve and
said plans are under consideration by the
imperial government. He thought that
if Great Britain supplied the necessary
guns there should be no difficulty in es-
tablishing naval reserves. Sir Charles
Tupper;and others spoke on the necessity
of strengthening the defenses Of the coun-
try.

quiet About dusk the Americans fired
on body of Mataafans but no one was
killed.
Friday morning two hundred rebels
rushed up to within 80 yards of the con-
sulate. The sailors behaved splendialy
and the natives were repulsed. One
American sailor was killed and one Brit
ish sailor shot in both legs.
There is intense feeling here against
the Germans and they are accused OF
spying and giving information to the
rebels. Fighting by night is an entirely
new departure in Samoan warfare ana
everything points to German teaching,
One Marquadt. who has been drilling the
natives has been arrested. He was sent
on board the Fake under pledge of the
German commander he will not be al
lowed to land. A half caste named Tay-
lor has been arrested as a spy and Is III
irons on the Porpoise. II. j. Moors, an
American, is confined to his store under
suspicion of being q Mataafa sympath~
iZer.
The Tivoli hotel has been mined in case
it becomes necessary to blow it up ana
two green lights from shore is a signal to
shell the hotel.
Sunday afternoon a body of native for
ayers came upon a Mataafa crowd killing
eight and wounding 20 of them. When
the rebels fled the foragers returned laden
with booty and bringing the ears OF sew
eral Of their foes. Among the wounded
was nephew of Mataafa and one of the
killed was Leleua Muda, second in COM
mand of Mataafa's force.
During the past three days there has
been no fighting The defenses have been
strengthened. The Porpoise has daily
made a cruise along the coast, lombard
ing native villages. Six of them have
been destroyed.
For several days the German warship
Fake persistently kept in the way so as
to incommode the fire of British ships
and finally Admiral Kautz compelled her
to move inside the harbor entrance.
On March % Malietoa Tanus was
crowned king of Samoa at Malinuu. Ad-
miral Kautz and Captain White of the
Philadelphia, Captain Sturdee and Cap
tain Forlesse of the POrpuisc and Royal
list, United States and British consuls and
chief justice were present at the cere-
mony which was attended by all the rep
rcsentative Americans and British. A
hundred sailors from the American and
British vessels composed the guard or
honor. The procession marched all
through Apa headed by the band of the
Philadelphia. The flagship and Porpoise
fired royal salute Of twenty one guns
but the Fake lay in the harbor as If she
and her captain had not the slightest IN
terest in Samoa. The German o1tlclalS
were conspicuous by their absence.
Everybody is anXiously awaiting deh-
mite news from the three powers. 1t IS
thought if Germany acknowledges Tanlls
as king the rebellion will be broken; II
not Admiral Kautz will take stronger
measures than hitherto.
II. M. S. Tauranga arrived today. AL
present there are on shore l75 men from
the Philadelphia and $50 from the Por-
poise and Royalist. The Tauranga has
a complement of nearly 800 and this rein
forcement will enable the admiral to take
offensive measures. SO far he has Deen
compelled to act on land on the defen-
SiVe.

An estimate prepared by the gov

support to the popular expectation.

lS70 per cent since the census Of

be between 77,G75, 900 and II, $50, 900.

Elihu Root is one of tn" best known
lawyers OF New York, and his coun-
sci has frequently been sought by his
party. When Governor Roosevelt was
preparing an amended bill for a tax on
franchises he summoned Elihu Root
to Albany to draw up a bill that
should stand every legal test. 1t was
Elihu Root who was called on to
draft the New York police bill which
the recent Legislature barely defeated.
1t was on the opinion OF Elihu Root
that the Republican leaders decided
there was no legal obstacle to Roosc-
volt's becoming governor OF New
