AFFAIRS IN PUERTO RICO.
NATIVES MUCH DISSATISFIED.
There IL no Danger at Present Lower
Glass of Natives and the Ignorant do
me Loud Talking-They VI ght start
Revolution.

San Juan de Puerto Rico, March 81
Although there is not at present any dan
ger of serious disturbances, there is much
tives throughout the island and there has
been deaDof violent talk by the igno-
rant against the new regime.
The chief cause of this anti American
feeling is the increase in the cost of living
since the American occupation began and
the ill-treatment that many OF the natives
in the country districts have received at
the hands of the rough soldiers.
Dissatisfaction is also expressed at the
delay in making the island part or a
territory of the United States with the
privileges and advantages that would ac-
crue to the island from such a relation, es-
pecially in the matter OF trade. This the
Puerto Ricans were undoubtedly led to be-
1ieve would be the result Of the acquisition
of Puerto Rico by the United States.
Cost of Living Increased.
But, as things have turned out, the
prices of all kinds of commodities have
advanced considerably, and the cost OF
living is very much higher now than it
was in the days of Spanish domain. The
merchant moreover, is uncertain as to
what customs duties will have TO be paid
and he does not care to order more than
is actually necessary. Nor is the agri-
cultural element in mood to extend cui-
tivation, until it can be assured OF safe
market for the products.
Everybody is getting along with the
least possible expenditure and there is
undoubtedly much misery and discomfort
Many who are without employment are
lying hungry about the towns AMI they
constitute the majority Of the mischief
makers in working up irritation against
the Americans.
Collision With Soldiers.
The conduct of the United States troops
in Ponce and other places has aroused
many of the natives to defend themselves,
and in some encounters the soldiers have
come off second best. These collisions are
probably the basis of statements made in
the United States that Puerto Ricans are
strongly inclined to start revolution The
fact is that little more courtesy in
dealing with them would not only have
quoting influence, but would .
greatly facilitate the settlement OF other
questions pressing for solution.
Give our commerce and agriculture ii
chance" said an influential Puerto Rican
merchant today to the correspondent of
the Associated Press, "open up the ad
vantages of the country by establishing
good communication, the want of which
is the chief stumbling block in our path
way of development; give our people an
of approaching the new con
ditions and the benefit of little more con
sideration on the part of Americans who
are sojourning in our islands, and the
Puerto Ricans will be found the easiest
people in the world to govern

Six-ShOOter Fight.

I'll Paso, Tex, April A six shooter
fight took place in the "tenderioin" dis
trict of this city between an American
and Mexican, resulting in the death Of

ranch. He is the uncle of Seth Burr, the
cowboy who killed three Juarez policemen
year ago and wounded several others
during a running fight, and was himself
slain by citizen who joined in the pur-
suit. The man killed claimed to be the
slayer of Seth Burr and boosted that he
had killed the nephew and was anxious to
meet the uncle. Durham heard of the
boast and kept his eye on the Mexican
when they met. He said that Mampela
and several companions followed him, and
when he asked them what was wanted.
they said it was none of his business, and
Mampela reached for his gun. Before he
could draw, the Texan had fired four
shots. The Mexican fell and only lived a
few minutes, Durham was locked up, but
subsequently released on bond of $1,000.

Washington, April 4.--The president has
issued the following executive order:
1t Is fitting that the nation tribute Il
honor be paid to the memories of the noble
men who lost their lives in their country
service, during the late war with Spain
1T is the more fitting inasmuch as, in con
sonance with the spirit of our free institu-
tons and in obedience to the most ex-
allied promptings of patriotism, those who
We're sent to other shores to do battle for
their country's honor under their country $
hag, went freely from every quarter OF our
beloved land.
Each soldier, each sailor, parting from
home ties and putting behind him private
interests in the presence of the stern emer-
gency of unsought war with an alien foe
was an individual type of the devotion of
the citizen to the state which makes our
nation strong in unity and in action.
Those who died in another land left in
many homes the undying memory that at
tends heroes OF all ages. 1t was fitting
that with the advent of peace, won by
their sacrifices, their bodies should be
gathered with tender care and restored to
home and kindred.
This has been done with the dead OF
Cuba ana Puerto Rico. Those of the Phil
ippines rest where they fell, watched over
by their surviving comrades and crowned
with the love of grateful nation.
The remains of many brought to our
shares have been delivered to their families
Tor private burial. But Tor others of the
brave officers and men who persisted there
has been reserved interment IN grounds
sacred to soldiers and sailors amid the
tributes of military honor and national
mourning they have SO we'll deserved
