GEN. KENNEDY'S WORK.
The InsuIar Commission Drafting q
Code of Laws For.Puerto Rico.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Insu-
lar Commission, composed of Judge
Curtis, General Kennedy and Major
Watkins, has been occupying the time
since the submission of its report upon
the affairs of Puerto Rico in drafting a
code OF laws for the island.
A system of assessment and taxation
following closely the Michigan law is
included. Railroad and telephone
property will be appraised and taxed
according to the value Of the property.
Railroads will be incorporated ac-
cording to the laws of Ohio or Iowa, it
has not been determined which.
The main difficulty now in the way OF
the completion of this work of the COM
mission is that its life expires by limi-
tation July l. The commission is being
paid out of the balance of the $50, 600,
600 emergency fund appropriated by
Congress for the war with Spain, an6
the unused balance of the appropria
ton must be covered back into the
Treasury July 1. 1t is probable that {
way will be found to continue the com
mission after the date under new
name until its work is completed. 1t il
suggested that it might be paid out o
the revenues of Puerto Rico, as its
labors have been wholly confined t,
that island.

The battle of Saturday brought ou,
the fact that the Filipinos hold Cavite
which was the first place captured by
Dewey, south of Manila, where the
Spanish arsenal was located. This
does not show that our forces have
made any great progress in sweeping
the island. We need double the arm,
there, that we have. 1t is all wrong Il
make small army do the work, and i
it is persisted in, it will be found to bt
a blunder.
