PORTO RICO
DEMANDS ITS
INDEPENDENCE
The Situation on the Island
Has Become Intolerable
to Natives.
WITHOUT A COUNTRY
Position of the People Who Hailed
the Americans as Their
Deliverers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 3.-"Grant us in
stant relief or give us independence"
is the cry of the starving natives of
Porto Rico, according to Drs. Julio
Henna and Zeno Gundis, Porto Rican
Commissioners to Washington
THE situation has become intoler-
able and the hour of deliverance can
not be long defe3Rd," they declare.
Military rule is oppressive and uncon-
stitutional. The people are not gov
erned by the laws of the United States,
but are under the sword Of a military
Governor, whose dictum is absolute and
without appeal. The islanders are de-
MED the rights of citizenship, and
having broken with Spain and not yet
being recognized as citizens of the
United States are a people without a
country. Even the Spaniards on the
island have more rights and privileges.
They can take out papers and become
American citizens, privilege not ac-
corded to the Porto Ricans.
Instead of absolute free trade be-
tween the United States and Porto
Rico. as on interstate and inter-
territorial principles, a high tariff is
kept up, unlawfully and without mercy,
impoverishing the island, for when the
customs are paid all the profits are
gone.
Whereas, the people of the island
hailed the advent of their deliverers
from the Spanish yoke with joy and
gratitude they now feel deeply ag-
grieved and enraged at the manner in
which the Government has abused their
rights and privileges and are ready to
adopt any means whatsoever for self
protection and the amelicration of their
condition. even to claim fqr absolute
independence"
These are the sentiments of the two
commissioners from Porto Rico, as ex-
pressed at their headquarters in this
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-04

return the volunteers here as rapidly
as possible the War Department pro-
poses to send reinforcements to General
Otis with all dispatch and orders to
the regiments selected will probably be
issued next week. There is no expecta-
tion on the part of the authorities that
the insurgents will lay down their arms.
What is expected is that they will en-
deavor to recruit their ranks and pre-
pare in every possible way for the dry
season, when the grand campaign of
the Americans will occur.
1t is the expectation that fiiibustering
expeditions will now be put under way
for the purpose of getting supplies and
munitions of war to Aguinaldo, and it
will devolve upon the navy to maintain
an effective patrol. The issuance of a
proclamation declaring a blockade of
the ports is not for an instant thought
of by the department, but Captain Bar
ker, now commanding the Asiatic
squadron, and his successor, Commo-
dore Watson, will take measures for
covering the important harbors and
capturing any vessel which may have
arms and ammunition aboard for the
Fiiipinos.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 3.-The Ed

DEATH" and according to the story, or
collection of stories, of privation and
suffering in vain search for gold and
a desperate struggle by brave men
to get back to civilization, told by the
twenty mine passengers from the Up
per Cassiar country who arrived by the
Danube, death still turks on that trail.
The returned miners tell of death and
disaster, of the finding of dead miners,
of the skeletons lining the trail. They
tell of threatened starvation in the
camps where melancholy and enact

many suffering from scurvy and many
from frozen limbs, which some are like

starvation is pending and unless the
relief which already has been sent from
Glenora soon arrives the remaining
pack mules and any wandering Siwash
dog or other animal that may be cap
tured are likely to become food for the
men. At least dozen men are en-
camped there, some suffering from
scurvy and others from frostbite.
At McDames Creek and Dease Lake
there are more unfortunates, but there
starvation is not so near; for although
the Hudson Bay post has long since
sold out all it's stores, many of the min
ers have still some supplies, which are

The returned miners tell of deaths by

PARIS, June 3.-COunt Esterhazy's s
confession that he wrote the Dreyfus
bordereau has fallen like a thunderbolt
here. 1t is true that his word has not
much value in fact, the only doubt
about his authorship of the document
is that he admits his guilt. At any
rate, nobody believes that Dreyfus was
a traitor. say nobody advisedly.
Those who refuse TO admit his inno-
cence now are simply bound hand and
foot to their party.
AS cabled yesterday, the Cabinet
council decided to placard the iudg-
ment of the Court of Cessation in all
French communes. This decision has
not yet been made official. but num-
Der Of Deputies intend to move on Mon
day that the Government take this
step. This shows which way the wind
blows, and it is blowing in favor of
Dreyfus' rehabilitation.
Then again. it is fairly certain that
the accusation of forgery trumped up
against Lieutenant Colonel Picuuart
will be dropped by the Public Prose
cutor.
Dreyfus has also been informed
that the Court of Cessation has de-
cided TO send his case for retrial before
fresh court martial. This means his
acquittal. and after this is the question
that is gripping the peoples hearts
will the guilty be punished?
Esterhazy has declared to the cor
respondent of the Matin that he will
defend himself, teeth and claws. He
declares that he wrote the bordereau
upon the order of Colonel Sandherr
just as Lieutenant Colonel Henry COM
piled the forged proofs of the guilt of
Dreyfus upon command, and he adds.

You will remember that Henry was

rumors at the time. and Esterhazy's
remarks bring them up again.

eral Otis command can be reinforced
to the strength desired from regular
troops now in the United States and
the West Indies, the authorities are
preparing a list of the regiments which
will be sent to Manila. With affairs in
Porto Rico in quiet condition it has
been deemed possible to withdraw one
regiment from that island, and the
Eleventh will in all probability be Sc
lected for service in the Philippines.
The Twenty-fourth Infantry, on the
Pacific slope, is also available.
In addition to these infantry COM
mands more cavalry will be sent to Ma

between the Third, Sixth and Ninth,
all of which have been filled to the
limit allowed by the Presidents order.
-Four regiments is ample. and if the
number of enlistments to be made from
the returning volunteers approximates
the number that it is believed by the
department will be secured there will
be enough to bring General Otis force
up to 10000.

OVER A SCORE OF
INDIANS DROWNED
Two Boats Bearing Potlatch Party
Capsize in Lake of the
Clouds

LAYGAN ALBERTO, June 3.-Between
twenty-five and thirty Indians, including
men, women and children, were drowned
yesterday in Lake of the Clouds, near ne
Canadian Pacific Railway, while crossing
the reservation to attend potlatch. They
were travelling in boats, rudely manufac-
tured of the skins of cariboo and other
animals, when two long boats collided.
Both vessels were rendered useless, and
the entire party was lost.
The third vessel bearing the skins of
deer, bear, cariboo, mountain sheep and
goats, and manned by four Indians,
reached the spot as the last survivor
slipped from the capsized boat and dis
appeared in the glacier-fed waters of
the lake. A dense cloud resting on the
surface of the lake was responsible for
the accident.

The next national census will be taken in June, 1900, Cnly 2 li,tIe over one year from now, and without the additions, Pb0c- nix will make a mighty pCc-' showing before the world. The reputation ac- cOrding to the census of 1899 was $500 and in the present city limits there are less than COCO people and will be less than that number in 1900 on a liberal estimate Withir the present limits the city will not show g, growth of seventy per cent for the ten years from 1890 to 1900 Now every one knows that what really cOn9titutes he city of Phoenix has three times the pOpula- ton now that it had in 1890.

 Fourth, University addition already has good streets made at great cost and expense, which the city would ac- quire without compensation.
 Fifth, the addition lies go far from the main part of town that it would not likely derive any benefit from the additional ta<es it would have to pay.
 Sixth, the addition does not need any benefits. It is quiet and orderly, re- quiring neither police nor any other protection.
 Seventh, many poor persons in the addition could not afford the luxury of a municipal existence.

Answers or objections were filed in

 petitions filed by the city in the mat ter of the extension of the limits. The
 first objector is P L. Kay, who be- comes defendant on the part of him
 self and other objectors es to the pc tition for the annexation of the south half of the south half of the southwest quarter of section ,, township 1 north range 5 east, embracing the Seger and adjoining tracts. The objection states in the first place that the court is without jurisdiction in the subject matter; that the petition does not set forth facts sufficient to authorize the court to grant the relief asked for or any ether relief than to dismiss the pe- tition.
 The bonded indebtedness of the city constitutes another objection in that it was incurred without the knowledge and consent of the defendant. An other objection is that the petition sets forth no definite terms and condi- tions

 Another answer is filed on the part of c. W. Grouse and W. B. Creager, representing themselves and other property owners of University addi- tion. Their objections are numerous. First, annexation would be injurious in that it would increase taxes with out bringing any corresponding bene- fits or any benefits at all. Second, it would be followed by depreciation in the value of property on account of such increase of taxation. Objection is also made to the liability for the pres ent municipal indebtedness, no part of which was incurred by the defendants. who have derived no benefit that may
