GOVERNMENT OF PORTO RICO.
Insular Commission Makes Report to
the Secretary Of War

Insular Commission Makes Report to
tho Secretary Of War
WAsHlNGToN, August 31.-The in
snlar commission, consisting of Gen.
Kennedy, Gen. Curtis and Major Wat
ltins, which has given six months
study to the conditions of the island
of Porto Rico, has made it's report to
Secretary Root. 1t recommends a
form Of civil government OF the
islands. to take the place Of the pres
ent military regime, and submits for
adoption a code Of laws. These laws,
it recommends, should be placed in
operation by executive decree, arguing
that a congressional enactment of
general laws would change the status
of the island toward the United States
and make it part of the constitutional
territory of tile U,s;t ted States. The
code OF laws and the civil government
proposed do not give the Porto Ricans
the elective franchise for any Offices,
nor extend to them the privilege of
trial by jury, except in the United
States courts in eases of felonies in
volving an amount in excess of $500.
1t recommends that the military force
remain in the island, but be kept in
the background and touch the people
only with asoft hand. English Is to
be made the official language OF the
island, but for the present all except
the federal courts are to be conducted
in Spanish.

Said He viii be Asked to Resign In
Favor Of y Young Man.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-There is little
news from the South OF Africa. 1t is
announced that the governor Of Natal
has refused to allow the trnnsit of
empty cartridge cases intended for the
Transvaal. The Pretoria correspond
emit of the Daily Chronicle declares
that President Kruger's concessions
are so farreaching that it is doubtful
whether the bnrghers will ratify
them. He thinks it more likely they
will demand Mr. Kruger's resignation
and the appointment of a younger
man, probably schalh w. Burger, a
nom official of the executive council of
the Transvaal. All the morning pa
pers comment on the seriousness of
the situation.
The Capetown correspondent OF the
Daily Mail says: IA pitiable scene
was witnessed at the railway station
on the arrival from Johannesburg of
$50 children, whose parents are too
poor to come themselves. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 people have left
the Transvaal since the cricis began.
Bechuanaland is in a state of ferment,
owing to the fears of a Boer raid.
Colonel Baden-Powell's forces there
are wholly inadequate to protect such
an extended frontier and the Beers
appear to be quietly concentrating in
the western part of the TransvaaI. A
Boer spy has been arrested in Ramat-
itbama, in British Bechuanaland."
